本研究涉及的心理，社会学和主观健康方面的社会隔离和刺激不足的机构老年人。在一项为期6个月的对照研究中，与老年公寓楼的居民及其工作人员合作设计了一个方案。该方案的目的是增加社会活动，鼓励老年人加强对日常生活的控制。会议商定，所执行的方案不应涉及额外费用、加班或外部资源。大多数心理和社会学变量在6个月内保持稳定。但实验组的社会活动水平比对照组增加了3倍。E组也开始参加实际方案之外的活动，一般来说，他们在户外的时间更多。季节性变化被发现在抑郁的感觉，访问国家/避暑别墅，以及访问的儿童和邻居。心身或心理主诉指数无变化。然而，与C组相比，E组在6个月期间的不安感显著降低。在E组中，心悸的投诉随时间推移也无显著减少。
The present study deals with psychological, sociological and subjective health aspects of social isolation and understimulation in institutional elderly people. In a controlled study over a 6 month period, a programme was devised in collaboration with residents of a senior citizens apartment building and its staff. The aim of the programme was to increase social activation and to encourage among the elderly an enhanced control over their daily lives. It was agreed that the programme implemented should involve no extra costs, overtime work or external resources. Most psychological and sociological variables were stable over the 6 month period. However, social activity level increased 3-fold in the E xperimental group compared with the C ontrol group. The E-group also started to attend activities outside the actual programme, and in general spent more time out of doors. Seasonal variations were found in feelings of depression, visits to the country/summer houses, as well as visits by children and neighbours. There were no changes in psychosomatic or psychological complaints indices. However, feelings of restlessness decreased significantly in the E-group over the 6 month period compared with the C-group. There was also a non significant decrease over time in complaints of heart palpitations in the E-group.
