One of the greatest challenges today is to preserve the dignity of the frail elderly. Our study will test and perfect a strategy to trial a new approach for this population, Dignity Psychotherapy. The approach will document aspects of the senior's life that they regard as meaningful, want remembered, or of which they are proud. Among the terminally ill, the approach has had positive outcomes. Benefits for elders may include that the approach forms a foundation for holistic care.

当今最大的挑战之一是维护体弱老年人的尊严。我们的研究将测试和完善一项策略，为这一人群尝试一种新方法，即尊严心理治疗。该方法将记录老年人生活中他们认为有意义、希望被记住或引以为傲的方面。在绝症患者中，这种方法取得了积极的成果。对老年人的好处可能包括该方法为整体护理奠定了基础。
