Loneliness can lead to illness and death, and is such a painful experience that a resident may not verbalize it directly. Quality nursing care requires that problems of social isolation are identified and a plan developed for adequate intervention. Impaired residents will be more successful socially when they can access a variety of interesting activities in small groups where familiar staff take initiative and establish a rapport. Institutional nurses are in a unique position to request the structural and personnel changes necessary to bring creative activities to the nursing units of impaired elders.
孤独会导致疾病和死亡，而且这种经历非常痛苦，以至于居民可能不会直接表达出来。优质的护理需要识别出社会隔离问题，并制定适当干预计划。当残障居民能够在小群体中参与各种有趣的活动，且熟悉的工作人员积极主动并建立融洽关系时，他们在社交方面会更成功。机构护士处于独特的地位，可以要求进行必要的结构和人员调整，以便为残障老年人的护理单元带来创造性活动。
