    (UMT.Lahore, 2024) AAMNA SHAHID L; MUSKAN BINT-E-AJMA
    The mental health of institutionalized older adults is a growing concern due to the unique psychological challenges they face. This study examines the relationships between neuroticism, loneliness, spiritual bypass, and mental health problems in this population. Correlation Research design was used. A sample of 120 institutionalized older adults were selected through purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through Neuroticism Scale (Big Five Personality Inventory (BFPI; John & Strivastava, 1999), Loneliness Scale (LS; Khan & Mahmood, 2022), Spiritual Bypass Scale (SPS; Saleem & Khadeeja, 2022), Mental Health Problems Scale (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale Form (DASS-21SF; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). The study reveals that high levels of neuroticism and loneliness are positively correlated with various mental health problems and neuroticism and loneliness are highly significant with mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and stress. Neurotic individuals may have heightened sensitivity to stressors, such as the challenges of institutional living. Spiritual bypass, particularly in settings where access to spiritual resources may be limited, can lead to emotional problems and worsened mental health outcomes. The relationship between neuroticism, loneliness, and spiritual bypass can create a cycle where emotional issues are inadequately addressed, leading to more severe and persistent mental health problems.
