People with disabilities experience loneliness to a greater extent than people without disabilities. To better understand this problem, we have conducted a systematic review of studies that involved disability and loneliness. The aims are to research what loneliness is and to conceptualize and define it in the context of disability, and the intervention strategies that have been developed.
The research protocol is based on the PRISMA guidelines. Two hundred and eighty-one papers were screened and 75 reports were assessed for eligibility.
We have not found whether loneliness in disability is a single construct or a collection of various subtypes. We have found that there are protective factors against loneliness in disabled people, such as having a job or living in an environment without physical barriers.
In terms of the interventions for people with disabilities, the same strategies have been adopted as for the non-disabled: social skills training, enhanced social support, opportunities for interactions, and cognitive training.
残疾人比非残疾人更容易感到孤独。为了更好地理解这一问题，我们对涉及残疾与孤独的研究进行了系统综述。目的是研究孤独是什么，并在残疾背景下对其进行概念化和定义，以及已制定的干预策略。
研究方案基于PRISMA指南。筛选了281篇论文，评估了75份报告的 eligibility。
我们尚未发现残疾中的孤独是单一结构还是各种亚型的集合。我们发现，残疾人存在预防孤独的保护因素，例如有工作或生活在没有物理障碍的环境中。
在针对残疾人的干预措施方面，采用了与非残疾人相同的策略：社交技能培训、增强社会支持、互动机会和认知训练。
