Life Course In HEARTS: Enhancing Telehealth Resilience and Mindfulness Intervention in Older Adults Experiencing Abuse and Trauma-A Conceptualization

 

Introduction

Advances in research and evidence-based practice improve the prevention and treatment of diseases, but the marginalized seems to be left behind [1]. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize a telehealth intervention aimed to improve the health and health span of older adults. More particularly, we articulate the conceptual framework underlying our intervention, Telehealth Resilience Mindfulness (TRM) Intervention, which will be delivered via text messaging (for those who have phones or smartphones), video conferencing such as Zoom (for those with internet connectivity), or in-person (when it is practical) to older adults to enhance HEARTS (health, experiences of abuse and trauma, resilience, technology use, and social support). Healthcare is a human right a resource to mitigate disparities in healthspan, defined as the portion of life spent in good health [2]-enriching opportunities if there is collaboration in interdisciplinary education, research, and practice [1,3]. We propose a telehealth intervention as a resource for older adults in mitigating disparities in healthspan. A telehealth intervention is defined as the use of information and communication technologies for health that encompasses positive emotions, optimism, and cognitive appraisal [4-7]. Telehealth interventions have the potential to reduce the psychobiological exposure to abuse and trauma and their health-related consequences as technology provides a safe, timely, and flexible space for the target population compared with traditional face-to-face approaches [7]. Additionally, interventions for the prevention and reduction of abuse among women [8-11] had positive health and social outcomes. Some telehealth interventions were included in these reviews and showed mixed results [7,12]. For these reasons, we are exploring and conceptualizing opportunities for enhancing the feasibility and efficacy of the telehealth resilience-mindfulness intervention in older adults.
