In order to determine the relationship between cognitive impairment and self-esteem and self-efficacy, in older adults institutionalized in the Casa Asilo San Antonio de Málaga, the aim is to optimize their psychosocial well-being in the future through the application of three psychological instruments (Test of PFEIFFER, MoCA Test and Life Story Questionnaire) and a psychogerontological intervention plan, which leads this research project to be directed in a pre and post process with the analysis of results and the effect of the activities proposed to carry out in five weeks with fourteen topics related to psychosocial well-being and the areas that the Moca test evaluates. In the analysis of the results of phase 1 with the PFEIFFER Test, 61 older adults participate, where it is evidenced that 60.66% of the interviewed population has severe cognitive impairment, so 11.48% with mild impairment is implemented for the application of the MoCA Test, where the 17 participants present a cognitive disorder. After the life story questionnaire, where it is reflected that self-esteem tends to be affected by psychosocial well-being, we proceed to intervene with the psycho-gerontological plan.
