内在力量被描述为促进幸福的重要资源。我们使用了来自Umea 85+队列研究中185人的样本数据，将内在力量及其属性与客观健康变量联系起来。韧性、一致性感、生活目的和自我超越量表被用来评估内在力量的各个方面，发现这些量表之间存在很强的相关性，心力衰竭、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、骨质疏松症或抑郁症的患病率与低内在力量相关。高内在强度和各种社会关系的措施之间也发现了显着的关系。内在力量更强的参与者身体更健康，社会关系更令人满意。提升内在力量应成为老年护理的主要目标。（Geriatr Nurs 2012;33：167-176）
Inner strength is described as an important resource that promotes well-being. We used data from a sample of 185 people in the Umea 85+ cohort study to relate inner strength and its attributes to objective health variables. The Resilience, Sense of Coherence, Purpose in Life, and Self-Transcendence scales were used to assess aspects of inner strength, and strong correlations between the scales were found. Prevalence of heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, osteoporosis, or diagnosed depression was associated with low inner strength. Significant relationships were also found between high inner strength and various measures of social relationships. Participants with a higher degree of inner strength had better physical health and more satisfying social relationships. The promotion of inner strength should be a major aim of geriatric nursing.
