Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Training of Hope as a protective factor of depressive symptomatology; method: Training of Hope in both arms of the research and two applications of the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Future Expectation / Hope Scale and Life Orientation in a space of six months at the beginning and end of the training ; Results: the hypothesis was confirmed, regardless of time in cognitive stimulation, the level of significance was positive (0.39 for group 1 and 0.02 for group 2).;Main outcome: significant increase in the levels of Hope, total and their factors separately, of the participants of the two groups. Method: Esperanto training through lectures and cognitive and behavioral interventional activities. The Wilcoxon test was used to identify the possible levels of significance. Results: only group 1 presented significant results. With T equal to 0.18 in the Pathways factor and in the total value, we can assume that the Hope helps more in the permanence of the chosen paths than in the decision making, especially in the first months. In group 2, despite values without significance, the results follow group 1, with T equal to 0.82 for the Pathways factor and 0.91 for the total value. The Initiative factor does not appear to be influenced directly by Esperança training (2.67 and 3.76), and other Positive Psychology constructs may be protagonists.
