Perceived stress, as an individual's cognitive assessment of life pressures and threats, is a key determinant of the psychological and physical health of the elderly. Given the increasing elderly population and the increase in stressors unique to this period, a comprehensive examination of this phenomenon is of great importance. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of neuroticism and self-esteem in predicting perceived stress in the elderly. The research design was descriptive, correlational. The statistical population included all elderly people in Tabriz in 1403, and the research sample was selected using convenience sampling method, with 214 people. The instruments used in this study included Cohen et al.'s Perceived Stress Questionnaire, Costa and McCrae's Neuroticism Questionnaire, and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis with SPSS software version 24. The findings showed that neuroticism and self-esteem have a significant relationship with perceived stress and can predict it (P<0.001). Also, self-esteem and neuroticism are the strongest predictors of perceived stress in the elderly, respectively (P<0.001). Findings emphasize the importance of paying attention to the dimensions of neuroticism and self-esteem in reducing perceived stress in the elderly. Therefore, these results can help to improve awareness of the elderly and pay attention to factors affecting their perceived stress.
