Abstract
Older adults undergo changes in physical, psychological, and social domains though they experience a sense of satisfaction. These changes influence their lifestyle physically, psychologically and socially. Introducing Psychological First Aid and other therapeutic interventions (e.g., auditory stimulation and aromatherapy) will help reduce stress and distress and improve their emotional well-being.
