10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
The theoretical research results have supplemented and further developed the theory of healthy living behaviors, specifically healthy living behaviors in the elderly: identifying the concept, manifestations, influencing factors, and the role of subjective factors (anxiety, beliefs, positive thinking) in the ability of the elderly to perform healthy living behaviors. The research also shows that, in addition to subjective factors, social support is also an influencing factor for the elderly in their ability to perform healthy living behaviors. This is a new finding that complements the theoretical arguments in research on healthy living behaviors in the elderly.
The results of this practical research contribute to clarifying the healthy living behaviors of the elderly, including the manifestations of healthy living behaviors, the groups of healthy living behaviors including: positive behaviors aimed at socializing and maintaining optimism; positive behaviors aimed at recreation and health care; negative behaviors; factors influencing healthy living behaviors in the elderly, and the impact of healthy living behaviors on the health of the elderly. Social support is highly valued by the elderly in their implementation of healthy living behaviors. By studying typical cases of elderly people with healthy living behaviors, additional qualitative information on this issue has been provided. Specifically, each elderly person has different living conditions, circumstances, and health statuses, and therefore, their ways of implementing healthy living behaviors are different. Healthy living behaviors of the elderly are considered a factor that strongly impacts their health.
11. Practical applications:
The research findings of this thesis serve as a valuable reference for teaching health psychology for the elderly and social work for the elderly, aiming to help them live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives in their old age.
12. Future research directions:
Future research should focus on discovering more healthy living behaviors in older adults with different disease groups (cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, stomach problems, etc.); and investigating differences in healthy living behaviors between older adults and younger adults.
