Digital interventions are considered as a potential solution to loneliness in older adults. However, this type of intervention has had limited acceptance among older adults (aged ≥60 years). To ensure the use of digital interventions in older adults, possible barriers and facilitating factors should be better understood from the user's perspective. We aim to systematically examine the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of digital interventions designed to reduce loneliness in older adults by identifying, evaluating and synthesising qualitative studies.
A comprehensive search of qualitative studies for barriers and facilitators for use of digital interventions will be conducted in the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Studies reported in English will be considered for this review. Grey literature will not be included. Two reviewers (HZ and XL) will independently screen the literatures, and any differences will be solved by turning to the third reviewer (JN). The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Qualitative Research Critical Appraisal Checklist will be used by two reviewers to independently assess the validity of the methods used. Relevant data about the populations, context, culture, geographical location, study methods and barriers and facilitators to the implementation of digital interventions will be extracted using the JBI standardised data extraction tool. JBI meta-aggregation methods will be implemented to synthesise the data, which will generate themes and categories based on the data. The final synthesis will establish confidence levels using the JBI ConQual approach.
The protocol does not require ethical approval. The data are based on published scientific databases. The results will be disseminated through journal articles and scientific conference presentations (if feasible).

数字干预被认为是解决老年人孤独问题的一种潜在方法。然而，这种干预方式在老年人（年龄≥60 岁）中的接受程度有限。为了确保数字干预在老年人中的使用，应从用户的角度更好地了解可能存在的障碍和促进因素。我们旨在通过识别、评估和综合定性研究，系统地检查旨在减少老年人孤独感的数字干预措施实施的障碍和促进因素。
将在以下数据库中全面搜索定性研究，以确定和评估使用数字干预措施的障碍和促进因素：PubMed、MEDLINE、CINAHL、Embase、Scopus、Cochrane 图书馆和 Web of Science。本综述将考虑用英语报告的研究。灰色文献将不包括在内。两位评审员（HZ 和 XL）将独立筛选文献，如果有分歧，将咨询第三位评审员（JN）。两位评审员将使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所（JBI）定性研究批判性评估清单独立评估所使用方法的有效性。将使用 JBI 标准化数据提取工具提取有关人口、背景、文化、地理位置、研究方法以及数字干预措施实施的障碍和促进因素的相关数据。JBI 元综合方法将用于综合数据，根据数据生成主题和类别。最终综合将使用 JBI ConQual 方法确定置信水平。
本方案不需要伦理批准。数据基于已发表的科学数据库。研究结果将通过期刊文章和科学会议报告（如果可行）传播。
