Authors: S. Rama Gokula Krishnan, et al.
Abstract: The pandemic has undoubtedly affected almost every aspect of life for people around the world. However, the most &#xD;
affected are older adults living in developing countries like India. In fact, the second wave of the pandemic in India, was &#xD;
the most devastating wave so far. Now that the worst appears to be over, there is a need to study the impact of the &#xD;
pandemic on the wellbeing of older adults recovering from the virus in the country. Hence, the aim of the present study &#xD;
is to examine the long-term impact of covid 19 on older adults, its connection with wellbeing, and the role of social &#xD;
workers in their recovery. A total of 203 older adults from India took part in the study. The results show that the &#xD;
majority of the respondents have poor wellbeing and have been more frequently plagued by chest pains, fatigue, and &#xD;
isolation, ever since they became infected. Moreover, respondents who are female, those with co-morbidities, and are &#xD;
suffering from other problems such as frequent chest pains, fatigue, and feelings of isolation, have lower levels of &#xD;
wellbeing. The implications of social work practice have also been discussed in the full paper</description>
