Self-transcendence is a human capacity for wellbeing by expanding one's personal boundaries and may act as a health-promoting resource among adults ≥65years. Therefore, the objectives of this meta-analysis were to determine the mean score of self-transcendence based on place of residence and gender, and to evaluate the correlations of self-transcendence with meaning, sense of coherence, resilience and depression. Based on inclusion criteria, 13 studies were included. Orwin Safe N and Egger's test assessed publication bias. The mean score of self-transcendence and the correlation coefficients of the selected variables were estimated by random effects models. The self-transcendence mean score (n=1634) was low (M=43.6) and a bit lower among those staying in care facilities (M=42.8), but did not vary significantly across gender. The correlation coefficients were self-transcendence_depression (r=-0.40), self-transcendence_meaning-in-life (r=0.53), self-transcendence_resilience (r=0.50) and self-transcendence_sense of coherence (r=0.28). The correlation coefficients, except for meaning-in-life, were homogeneous. In a health-promoting perspective, the concept of self-transcendence can help to better understand wellbeing among older individuals and provide guidance for health professionals in facilitating wellbeing and health. The concept and theory of self-transcendence can inspire health professionals in realising new health-promoting approaches to support older individuals in maintaining health, wellbeing and independency.
