Implementation of a Loneliness Screening and Referral Program in Primary Care: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study.
Purpose: Loneliness screening is recommended as best practice in primary care for older adults, yet it is not widely implemented. The purpose of the current study was to assess feasibility of a loneliness screening and referral program (SOCIAL Rx) in a primary care practice.
Method: Loneliness was assessed using the 3-item UCLA Loneliness Scale and curated referrals were provided for those who screened positive. Outcome measures were organized using the RE-AIM framework domains of reach, effectiveness, and adoption. Qualitative interviews were conducted to explore feasibility/acceptability and patient preferences regarding referrals.
Results: Eighty-one percent of patients were screened for loneliness; 33.3% were somewhat lonely and 17.7% were very lonely. Fifty-two percent of those who were lonely were provided a referral, and 40% of providers referred ≥50% of eligible patients.
Conclusion: Loneliness was prevalent in this population of older adults, highlighting the imperative for screening and intervention. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 18(2), 69-80.].
期刊介绍：
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
