Abstract:
The effectiveness and effects of the intervention designed in elderly people with Anxiety Disorders have been investigated, focusing on the reduction of anxious symptoms, the improvement of emotional well-being and quality of life. The results of an experimental group were compared with a control group. The results reveal that the intervention has been effective in significantly reducing anxious symptoms in the experimental group. There are improvements in emotional recognition, self-perception of quality of life and social relationships. In addition, a positive association has been found between the performance of activities and the reduction of anxious symptoms.
