Abstract
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre salud mental y
resiliencia en una muestra de adultos mayores. Con este propósito, se contó con la
participación de 98 adultos mayores, asistentes y no asistentes a un Centro del Adulto Mayor,
con un rango de edad de 60-89 años (M= 70.49; DE= 6.89). Se utilizó el Inventario de Salud
Mental (MHI- P) adaptado al contexto peruano y la Escala de Factores Protectores de la
Resiliencia (SPF). A nivel global, se obtuvo una correlación directa entre salud mental y
resiliencia; y a nivel dimensional, correlaciones directas e inversas entre las subescalas
positivas y negativas que componen ambas variables. Asimismo, se encontró que el grupo de
asistentes a un CAM obtuvo mayores puntuaciones en la escala de resiliencia y la subescala
de soporte social, en comparación al grupo de no asistente. Por último, se hallaron diferencias
según variables sociodemográficas como el sexo y la edad. Se discuten estos hallazgos; así
como las limitaciones del estudio.
The present research aims to analyze the relationship between mental health and resilience in a sample of older adults. For this purpose, 98 older adults, attending and non-attending a Center for the Elderly, with an age range of 60-89 years (M = 70.49; SD = 6.89) participated. The Mental Health Inventory (MHI-P) adapted to the Peruvian context and the Scale of Protective Factors of Resilience (SPF) were used. At the global level, a direct correlation between mental health and resilience was obtained; and at the dimensional level, direct and inverse correlations between the positive and negative subscales that make up both variables. Additionally, it was found that the group attending a CAM obtained higher scores on the resilience scale and the social support subscale, compared to the non-attendant group. Finally, differences were found according to sociodemographic variables such as sex and age. These findings are discussed; as well as the limitations of the study.
