Abstract: Background: Older adults experience significant impacts on their physiological and psychological well-being due to deteriorating physical health, interrupted social lives, changes in appearance, and declining cognitive functions, leading to low self-esteem and depression, especially those who live in long-term care institutions. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interventional cosmetic therapy on the self-esteem and depression of older adult residents in long-term care institutions.
