Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused more severe trauma, especially psychological trauma, to the physically and psychologically vulnerable elderly patient population. Even after the elderly patients have recovered from the disease, the psychological trauma continues to have a negative impact on both the physical and mental health of the elderly patients, causing them unable to live as usual. In this study, using the case study approach of qualitative research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with two representative and typical cases of elderly patients to develop in-depth knowledge of the process of mental health recovery after physical healing. The study suggests that for promoting the mental health recovery of elderly patients with COVID-19, it is important to improve the level of social support for elderly patients while encouraging them to actively participate in social activities, so that elderly patients can achieve better self-reconstruction and thus be able to actively cope with the negative social feedback they may face during activities participation and improve the effect of social participation on mental health recovery.
