august the WHO have indicated the stage of the pandemic and also have detected the ratio for

and et.al., 2021). The WHO have published the large size of sampling for all the people along
with this also recommend that people are needed for having the medical ventilation and also
discouraged by the world health organization. In this virus more than 70% of the elder people are
being affected and dead while due to having this high symptoms in the body. The current crisis
have been states about that more than large size of people it must be seems that elderly people
have been died not just because of the having virus, but while having the other disease and not
getting the proper treatment for their disease. While in the world many of the people are
suffering from this disease and most of them are not getting the proper treatment for their any
disease. Moreover, the life and future have been destroy while through which some of the people
have become the homeless and jobless more than 80% of the population (Mahmood, 2021). The
elderly people means the old ages people and those people who are required more care. As more
than 8 out of 10 have been died due to having disease and not getting the proper treatment for
their any disease. In many more countries, people are facing large issues and challenged in this

MAIN BODY
Definition of psychosocial and examples
Psychosocial is related to the combination of the social behaviour and psychosocial
factor. For example, study between the relationship person fears and other how they related to
social setting adjective. As people can be fear of having their mental and emotional wellbeing
along with the proper working environment (Cherry, 2020). Psychosocial have main importance
while for protecting something against the negative thing and also promoting the wellbeing
towards their solution. While having psychosocial assessment in the mind of the human is must
be important while through which they can come to know about various thing which could be
good or bad for them. While in Covid-19 the psychosocial play the important role through which

many of the people have get effected due to having the negative impact over the disease. Along
with this also important for having the proper knowledge about the various thing which have
been understand for the various people. Hence, this might be also important for knowing about
the various thing which could be essential for the human wellbeing and keep the knowledgeable.
Examples can be including social support, marital status, work environment, social integration,
and social status.
This also seems to be important for the psychosocial patient in making their contact with
the doctor not only but, also make the contact with the families while for having the better
treatment (Masten and et.al., 2021). The psychosocial intend for having the better protecting
from the negative people and have some of the better outcomes from the prevention and recovery
from their mental illness. Hence, this can be easily reducing while by having the proper
treatment and that could only help for clinical services in which they can make sure about those
thing which could be important for them in making their prevention from the psychosocial
assessment. Therefore, this could be also important while for making and reducing the disease
from the human which might be related to their psychosocial system. Hence, the negative
outcome for the many people and that can get the effective manner for their future.
The strength for the psychosocial assessment that might be providing the broad
framework while for having the view things to be well-developed. This might be also allow the
human for emphasize the social nature and make the high sense for having the better
development and make sure about various kinds of things. Therefore, this could be also
important for having the better future aspects in which the psychosocial can have the effective.
Those which are stages seems to be incomplete in this psychosocial assessment the life can
become the wasted may experience about the regrets (Aziz and et.al., 2021). In this people feel
more fear from the many things and become the hopeless from the various kinds of work. While
through which they become so negative towards their work and do not make sure about anything
what they want to do with their life. The people can left with their feelings and despair their
things which could be important for them and make their proper contact with other people.
The elderly have impact by Covid-19 from the psychosocial perspective
The Covid-19 have impacted towards the many life and causes the high damage towards
the life. Older ages people have gets the high effected due to this pandemic and make their
psychosocial thinking changes. As they have fear of the pandemic and that can cause them for

having the death. In the world more than half of population have been dead due to having the
psychosocial about their Covid-19. As they think about that virus will causes their life damage
and that could have the death. More of the older people 60%, are suffering from some disease
and having some of the health issues in which they need to have the proper diet and keep their
body health (Supporting older people during the COVID-19 pandemic is everyone’s business,
2020). While due to this they cannot keep their daily routine to be maintain and suffering from
the health issues and that could causes the Covid-19 in their body and make their harm.
Older adults increased the risk and also take much time for recovering from this disease.
Although it could be also seems that old ages people having the contracting risk with this virus
and people have to faces the significant illness from this for keeping them recovering. If they
have contract with this disease due to having the psychosocial changes that might be coming
while for potential underlying health issues and ageing (Meseguer de Pedro and et.al., 2021). For
this old ages people required to take care of them through which they cannot have much fear of
this pandemic. Therefore, the regular check up must be required and try to have home remedies
for this through which that could not affected towards their body. As the other adult people
should also come to know about the disease and do not try to come with of the old ages in their
home and try to make the distancing. While through which the disease can easily harm and make
them for causing death.
While at time of isolation or quarantine, the old ages people should take some of the
health nutrition food and make their clinical services while at home. Hence, the accurate
information should be involves for ensuring about the very messages clearly and also provide the
resources for staying physically healthy. Alongside mentally health during this pandemic and
what should be they are required to do fall ill (Kim and Kim, 2021). Gradually, this could be also
important for keeping the health maintain if they causes any disease that might be harm to their
body and that can easily causes the death for them. 50% of psychosocial assessment thing about
the fear for their disease and make sure about the negative outcome from the pandemic. Elderly
people should come to know about the various thing through which they can keep them safe and
make sure about those thing which could be help them for keeping the healthy. Health and social
care should provide them critical role for having long term health care to the older people.
Basically, Covid-19 have highly impact over the financial crisis, changes in lifestyle,
health and wellbeing. This might be having the impact over the most elderly people and young

age people. While due to having the risk in changing their lifestyle and having the health issues
for which they can work over for having the high risk impact.

people and psychosocial have their major impact over any disease. The elderly people can take
care for health issues while by having some of the nutrition foods and healthy diet at their home.
While through which they can easily have the better health and do not have some other
medicines which might be not necessary at their time. Through which they can easily come to
know about the any symptom they can directly make the contact with the services and take
precaution from which they can soon well. Hence, this might be also important for keeping the
social distancing in the present and make sure about the various kinds of rules which are must be
required for them. While this could be also important for them in taking care about those disease
