Psychological health is a core component of quality of life and vital to engagement in meaningful activities and relationships. Illness and aging are often associated with high distress levels in patients and their caregivers that negatively impact physical health and quality of life. Our research program examines psychological distress and quality of life in older adults and medically-ill patients and their caregivers. We translate these findings into psychological interventions that provide resources and support in the context of illness and aging, evaluate the impact of these interventions on patient and caregiver quality of life, and examine strategies for disseminating these interventions across populations and care settings. |
