Brief Summary:
Unwanted loneliness is the gap between the social relations a person has and those they want. The main objective of this research is to assess the impact of a multidimensional community-based intervention on the feeling of unwanted loneliness in the population over the age of 65 years old, who living alone, under social risk or socially isolated living in the La Palma island.
Detailed Description:
Loneliness is strongly associated with a significant impact on physical health, depression and may in fact be an independent risk factor for depression. Fur-thermore, it is negatively associated with healt problems, like higher blood pressure, poorer sleep, immune responses to stress, and poorer cognition over time in the elderly. The absence of personal connections is related to the adoption of worse life habits and to increased morbidity, with the consequent higher risk of suf-fering cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, mental health pathologies and risk of falls.
The secondary objectives proposed are as follows: Increasing the number of opportunities for social interaction during the intervention; Contributing tools to improve the participants' social skills in the intervention; Fostering self-care and healthy habits in the participants; Reducing maladaptive thoughts; Educating on sleep hygiene measures and non-pharmacological treatments.
The null hypothesis (H0) of this research is that in the population under study, the proposed multidimensional community intervention will not significantly impact the feeling of unwanted loneliness and the health management of these subjects.
