Evaluating the sustainability and long-term outcomes of the Home Care Support Intervention Program (HoSIP) to reduce loneliness among community-dwelling older adults: A two-year follow-up study

This study explored how a community-based program helped reduce loneliness in older adults. The results highlight the importance of involving older adults in designing programs to improve their overall well-being. These findings can guide future interventions to enhance the quality of life for older adults, potentially lowering healthcare costs and benefiting both individuals and governments. This program provides a framework for the development and implementation of sustained, community-based interventions directed by older adults. Given the potential impacts of sociocultural factors on the efficacy and longevity of such programs, these elements warrant careful consideration during the design phase of the similar interventions.

Abstract

This study explored how a community-based program helped reduce loneliness in older adults. The results highlight the importance of involving older adults in designing programs to improve their overall well-being. These findings can guide future interventions to enhance the quality of life for older adults, potentially lowering healthcare costs and benefiting both individuals and governments. This program provides a framework for the development and implementation of sustained, community-based interventions directed by older adults. Given the potential impacts of sociocultural factors on the efficacy and longevity of such programs, these elements warrant careful consideration during the design phase of the similar interventions.
