Data were collected from May 2015 to May 2016 via a sociodemographic characteristics form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and Self-Compassion Scale. The difference found between the mean scores of participants' perceived social support and self-esteem on the pretest, posttest, and retest was statistically significant (p < 0.01), but the difference in their mean scores in self-compassion on the pretest, posttest, and retest was not significant (p > 0.05). It is recommended that this program be used for improving social support and self-esteem among older adults.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessQuality-Of-LifeNursing-HomesDepressionSatisfactionReminiscenceSymptomsModelAgeArticle2-s2.0-8507270062410.3928/00989134-20190825-03461031560075Q23945Q3WOS:000488976500008
