OBJECTIVES
This study examined the cross-sectional and 2-year prospective associations between situational loneliness and health outcomes in older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS
Data were collected using an online survey that evaluated behaviors (e.g., socialization) and health outcomes at two points (May-June 2020 and October-November 2022) during the pandemic. Logistic regression was used to analyze the cross-sectional associations between situational loneliness and health outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep health) while linear regression was used to examine the prospective associations.
RESULTS
In a sample of 428 older adults (age 65 +), situational loneliness was associated with short-term, but not long-term, increases in depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and problems with sleep.
CONCLUSION
Findings suggest that the older adult population demonstrates resilience in the face of short-term increases in loneliness. Thus, promoting resilience may be a promising strategy for mitigating the negative consequences of situational loneliness.
目的
本研究考察了新冠疫情期间老年人情境性孤独与健康结果之间的横断面关联以及两年期前瞻性关联。
方法
通过在线调查收集数据，该调查评估了疫情期间两个时间点（2020年5月至6月和2022年10月至11月）的行为（如社交活动）和健康结果。采用逻辑回归分析情境性孤独与健康结果（即抑郁症状、焦虑症状和睡眠健康）之间的横断面关联，同时采用线性回归检验前瞻性关联。
结果
在428名65岁及以上老年人的样本中，情境性孤独与抑郁症状、焦虑症状和睡眠问题的短期增加有关，但与长期增加无关。
结论
研究结果表明，老年人群体在面对孤独感短期增加时表现出了恢复力。因此，增强恢复力可能是减轻情境性孤独负面影响的一个有前景的策略。
