dc.description.abstract | Older adult mental health is a priority in Canada, especially with the deleterious effects of COVID-19. However, there is a gap in knowledge about the mental health-related considerations and concerns that are important for supporting aging Canadians.
Secondary framework analysis used deductive codes constructed from a critical mental health literature review, and inductive codes generated from n=268 previously gathered free-form survey responses from older adults, caregivers, and health/social care providers in Canada. Key considerations included 1) core principles that influence the experiences and outcomes of older adults; 2) societal and system-level factors affecting older adult mental health; 3) services, supports, and programs that were identified as valuable; and 4) mental health experiences and outcomes mapped to a mental health dual continuum model.
The expert-by-experience identified considerations are key elements that can be used when developing/adapting resources to ensure they are appropriate, relevant, and effective for aging Canadians’ mental health needs. | en |
