Abstract [en]

AIM: To describe the impact of mental health on the ability to function optimally among older adults experiencing mental health issues.

DESIGN: This study had a descriptive qualitative design.

METHODS: Six older females with a Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score of ≥8 on either of the subscales (depression or anxiety) participated in individual interviews. All data were analysed using a phenomenological approach influenced by Giorgi.

RESULTS: The phenomenological analysis led to a structured synthesis comprising the following three themes: (a) life situations affecting mental health, (b) consequences of mental health in everyday life and (c) strategies for maintaining mental health.
