Abstract
The psychological problems of the elderly are complex and difficult to understand. A few sentences of comfort or encouragement can not make them happy. Many negative emotions and problems are pushed into the depths of the subconscious, especially in depressed elderly. Psychological treatment should focus on solving subconscious problems. Hypnotic therapy is a kind of psychotherapy that can work on the subconscious to find problems and solutions. Hypnosis methods such as relaxing, deep breathing, and meditation techniques can be integrated into mental health nursing interventions to develop a hypnosis CD for the elderly. The purpose of the study was to develop a happy-life hypnosis CD for Taiwanese seniors. A five step hypnosis technique was used to develop the CD. The content of the CD was designed using positive suggestions, hints, hypnotic deepening skills, relaxation with imagination of seniors’ preferences, and an abdominal breathing method. The development of this happy-life hypnosis CD is innovative. Taiwanese seniors can listen to the CD to improve their negative emotions. Other researchers or practitioners can use it as a reference to develop more hypnosis CDs to promote health.
