Our purpose in this pilot study is to test the validity of the concepts in the Evolutionary Empowerment-Strength model, which was developed through analysis of data from a previous study that observed how older women coped with a hip fracture. Thirteen minority women aged 63 to 88 years with chronic illness participated in this pilot study. Findings indicate four themes: (1) Positive Self-Talk, (2) Strong Spiritual Faith, (3) Refusal to Dwell on Deficits, and (4) Sense of Survival. Three of the five concepts in the Evolutionary Empowerment-Strength model were supported, which demonstrates initial usefulness of the model for varied populations
