Abstract (EN): Objectives: Gerotranscendence has gained recognition as an important psychosocial theory, with leading studies promoting it through intervention programs. However, to date, few interventions have involved older adults living in Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities. This study aimed to explore the viability of implementing six-week program on gerotranscendence [GLOW] in an LTC facility. Methods: A feasibility study was conducted with a group of six residents. Screening, consent, retention, adherence, and social validity indicators were considered. A Non-Pharmacological Therapy Experience Scale (NPT-ES) was used to assess the participation and engagement of each participant throughout the sessions. A focus group was also conducted. Results: The consent, retention, and adherence rates for the program were satisfactory (100%), while the screening rate (22.22%) was lower due to the inclusion criteria. Participants agreed that the program was important and interesting. The scores of NPT-ES were high and increased over the course of the sessions. Conclusions: The GLOW program can be considered a feasible, acceptable, and valuable tool for promoting gerotranscendence in older adults living in an LTC.
