- Abstract
The novel coronavirus 2019(COVID-19) sweeping the world threatens people’s physical and mental well-being, and the elderly tend to have more serious negative emotions due to their poor resistance level and they are more likely to believe rumors, which leads to a decline in their mental health. In this research, I try to explore whether reminiscence therapy, which has achieved good results in many clinical fields, can play a positive role in alleviating the negative emotions of the elderly and improving their mental health, and hence, help the community or within the family to seek protection for the elderly and then help them to properly maintain a good psychological well-being to face the pandemic.
