Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Loneliness is strongly associated with a significant impact on physical health, depression and may in fact be an independent risk factor for depression. Fur-thermore, it is negatively associated with healt problems, like higher blood pressure, poorer sleep, immune responses to stress, and poorer cognition over time in the elderly. The absence of personal connections is related to the adoption of worse life habits and to increased morbidity, with the consequent higher risk of suf-fering cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, mental health pathologies and risk of falls.

The secondary objectives proposed are as follows: Increasing the number of opportunities for social interaction during the intervention; Contributing tools to improve the participants' social skills in the intervention; Fostering self-care and healthy habits in the participants; Reducing maladaptive thoughts; Educating on sleep hygiene measures and non-pharmacological treatments.

The null hypothesis (H0) of this research is that in the population under study, the proposed multidimensional community intervention will not significantly impact the feeling of unwanted loneliness and the health management of these subjects.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Compartiendo Salud

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention proposed (Compartiendo Salud) is a multicomponent intervention based on prevention and on promoting the health of older adults that live alone. The community-based intervention consists in five workshops that are carried out during a week (one day for each workshop). The sessions (which last 2.5 hours each) are designed in an expository and participatory way, using gaming dynamics that foster learning and social interaction. The content of the workshops is the same for all BHDs. Each workshop addresses risk factors that predispose the population to experiencing more unwanted loneliness and social isolation. The concepts corresponding to each of the five sessions that comprise the intervention are: Sleep hygiene, Healthy and sustainable eating habits, Physical activity and exercise, Memory and music therapy, Digital literacy
