Brief Summary

Cosmetic therapy provides a psychological effect on the elderly, improving their self-confidence and social participation. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of cosmetic therapy to enhance the self-esteem and reduce depression of elderly residents in long-term care institutions. We expect that a 6-week cosmetic therapy will improve the elderly's mental health, including depression and self-esteem.

The total score ranges from 0 to 15, with less than 5 indicating no depression symptoms, 5 to 9 indicating mild depression, greater than or equal to 10 indicating moderate to severe depression.

Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree); the minimum and maximum scores on the scale are 10 and 40, with lower scores suggesting better self-esteem.
