Abstract
This article aimed to study the stress of the Tai Lue ethnic group in Thailand by using research papers and government papers and presenting the situation of the elderly ethnic group with stress by analyzing the content. Tai Lue Elderly people are ethnic group living in North of Thailand and they are affected by global population structure change. This change has led to increase the aging population. Old age is the age of physical, mental and social change. Development of variety aspects has led to lack of handle of society changes among Tai Lue Elderly people. Also,those aging people have lacked of coping with aging society which has changed in their ethnic groups. These shortages can lead to stress. The societal changes which have happened rapidly may cause stress among those elderly people easily. Furthermore, such stress can impact onphysical and mental health. If stress management will not be handled or addressed, the stress will
threaten those elder people longtermly. In addition, it can cause chronic stress and mental illness in the long run.
Therefore, a method to solve those problems is to establish a model of coping with stress among the Tai Lue elderly people by applying stress management strategies. There are two strategies: 1) to face with stress by focusing on solving problems; and 2) to face with stress by focusing on adjusting mood. These strategies will enhance those Tai Lue elders’ skills in order to handle societal changes as well as aging society appropriately and to relate with their culture. The enhancement will impact on physical and mental well-being.
