许多社会干预措施已经发展起来，希望减少和防止老年人的社会孤立（例如，娱乐，艺术为基础的方案和社会处方）。友好访问计划，也被称为交友计划，几十年来一直是这一领域的支柱，在很大程度上被认为是有效的重新连接老年人（≥ 60岁）经历孤立。然而，研究和评估尚未确定这些方案如何以及为什么最成功，以及在什么条件下最成功。本文提出了一个现实主义的综合，旨在确定的关键机制和上下文因素，导致成功的结果，友好访问计划的结果。七项研究被综合，以告知一个友好的访问计划理论占关键机制（例如，提供非正式支助）和基本背景（例如，培训志愿者），可用于为未来的方案提供信息。对今后的研究提出了建议。
Abstract Many social interventions have been developed with the hopes of reducing and preventing social isolation among older people (e.g., recreation, arts-based programs and social prescription). Friendly visiting programs, also known as befriending schemes, have been a mainstay in this area for decades and are largely thought to be effective at reconnecting older people (≥ 60 years of age) experiencing isolation. Research and evaluations have yet to determine, however, how and why these programs may be most successful, and under what conditions. This article presents the findings of a realist synthesis aimed at identifying the critical mechanisms and contextual factors that lead to successful outcomes in friendly visiting programs. Seven studies are synthesized to inform a friendly visiting program theory accounting for key mechanisms (e.g., provision of informal support) and underlying contexts (e.g., training of volunteers) that can be used to inform future programs. Recommendations for future research are also presented.
