Abstract

With the rising population of the ELDERLY worldwide, especially in developing countries, old age and its accompanied conditions make mental and physical healthcare provision a critical issue of the 21st century. This cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the epidemiological pattern of LONELINESS and its related factors in ELDERLY WOMEN (age ³ 60 years) who were covered by the health centers of Gonabad, Iran. After estimating the sample size, 500 eligible subjects were selected through proportional stratified sampling. Data were collected by a questionnaire containing demographic characteristics and the University of California, Los Angeles, LONELINESS Scale. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and chi-square tests in SPSS 20.0. The prevalence of moderate and intense LONELINESS was 50.4% and 39.4%, respectively. There were significant relationships between the levels of LONELINESS and marital status, education, and family status. The results of this study highlight the necessity of attending to the feeling of LONELINESS experienced by the ELDERLY people, identifying the situations and events that intensify this feeling, and establishing interventional programs to resolve the problem.
