Abstract

The author's concept of loneliness is described, especially as it concerns the elderly. An attempt is made to develop an understanding of the word, with its implications for guidance in the nursing profession. The nurse's defenses against her own feelings of loneliness and depression can inhibit therapeutic interactions with lonely or depressed patients. Appropriate nursing action depends upon the knowledge, correlation and use of many other concepts such as those related to dynamics of behavior, personality structure and development, or problem solving. Practical recommendations for nursing intervention are outlined. Emphasized is the necessity for the nurse to understand the concept of loneliness so that she may render effective service.
