Emotional Intelligence and Relaxation Techniques for Mental Health and Sleep in Older Adults
Sponsor:

University of Jaen

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Agustín Aibar Almazan

Brief Summary:

This topic highlights the role of emotional intelligence and relaxation techniques in enhancing mental health for adults over 60. Emotional intelligence, which involves understanding and managing one's emotions, can improve emotional well-being in older adults facing challenges like loneliness and anxiety. Sleep disorders are common in this age group and can lead to increased mental health issues such as depression. Relaxation techniques, including meditation, yoga, and deep breathing, have been shown to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. By integrating emotional intelligence and relaxation practices into daily life, older adults can enhance their overall quality of life and mental health.
