Abstract

Black older adults' (BOAs) experience of loneliness differs from other ethnic groups because of the disproportionate disadvantages faced across their life course. This scoping review aimed to describe the range of research on loneliness or subjective social isolation among BOAs, identifying the contributing factors to loneliness in this population, based on Weiss' Social provision Framework. Of the 15,345 initial retrieved citations from seven databases and corporate websites, we included 27 studies conducted in the USA, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Uganda. Studies reporting on BOAs' experience of loneliness focused on the influence of attachment, social integration, opportunity for nurturance, reassurance of worth, guidance, socio-economic factors, health-related factors and behaviors, and technology, media device possession and usage. There is a need for future studies to identify which social provisions (when targeted) could reduce loneliness, allowing clinicians to develop relevant interventions.

摘要

黑人老年人(BOAs)的孤独感体验与其他族裔不同,因为他们在整个生命历程中面临着不成比例的劣势。本范围综述旨在根据 Weiss 的社会供应框架,描述针对 BOAs 孤独感或主观社会孤立的研究范围,确定导致该人群孤独感的因素。从七个数据库和公司网站上检索到的 15345 个初始引用中,我们纳入了在美国、尼日利亚、南非、加纳、加拿大、英国和乌干达开展的 27 项研究。报告 BOAs 孤独感体验的研究侧重于依恋、社会融合、养育机会、价值保障、指导、社会经济因素、与健康相关的因素和行为以及技术、媒体设备拥有和使用的影响。未来的研究需要确定哪些社会供应(当以目标为导向时)可以减少孤独感,从而使临床医生能够制定相关干预措施。
