This paper describes the importance of a life management enhancement (LME) group intervention for older minority women in developing personal control and self-confidence in social relationships as they overcome homelessness. Women in the treatment group showed significantly greater personal control and higher levels of self-confidence following the six-week intervention than women in the control group. Increasing personal control and developing self-confidence in social relationships can help individuals achieve desired outcomes as a result of their actions, efforts, and abilities. These attributes can help women increase and sustain appropriate coping methods and overcome homelessness.
本文描述了生活管理强化（LME）小组干预对老年少数族裔女性的重要性，她们在克服无家可归问题的过程中，在发展个人控制力和社交关系中的自信心方面得到了帮助。与对照组的女性相比，治疗组的女性在接受为期六周的干预后，表现出了显著更强的个人控制力和更高的自信心水平。增强个人控制力以及培养社交关系中的自信心，可以帮助个体凭借自身的行动、努力和能力实现预期的结果。这些特质可以帮助女性增加并维持适当的应对方法，克服无家可归的状况。
