志愿者组织为老年人提供电话外展服务，以减轻孤独感，促进情感健康，尽管这些社区干预措施的可行性，感知价值和参与者体验的特点尚未得到充分研究。我们研究了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间一个以大学为基础的代际电话计划的这些要素。居住在社区的老年人和大学生志愿者每周进行8次30分钟的脱稿电话交谈。可行性标准包括入学率、保留率和出勤率。一个快速的定性分析的程序评估的反应，用于提取相关的主题参与者的经验的干预。2021年2月至8月共招收10名老年人（平均年龄[范围] 74.53 [70-84]岁，88%为女性）和9名本科生，完成招生目标，录取率分别为76.9%和90%。在10个登记的二人组中，有7个在平均10.5周内完成了全部8次电话交谈和定性评估。大多数完成通话时间表的老年人将谈话视为社会联系的来源，注意到他们代际关系的相互性，尊重和拓宽的视角。本科生描述了给予他人和激发个人反思和亲密感的对话的价值。本科生经常形容他们的经验是新颖的，拓宽了他们的视野。虽然研究完成率和参与者的经验在不同的二人组，我们发现的感知价值，积极的关系建设和扩大的观点在许多老年人和大学生谁完成了代际电话计划的定性证据。
Volunteer organizations offer telephone outreach to older adults to relieve feelings of loneliness and to promote emotional well-being, though the feasibility, perceived value, and characteristics of the participant experience of these community interventions have not been well-studied. We examined these elements of an intergenerational college-based telephone call program during the Covid-19 pandemic. Community-dwelling older adults and undergraduate volunteers engaged in eight, weekly, 30-minute, unscripted telephone conversations. Feasibility criteria included enrollment, retention, and attendance rates. A rapid qualitative analysis of program evaluation responses was used to extract themes related to participants’ experiences of the intervention. Ten older adults (mean age [range] 74.53 [70–84] years, 88% women) and nine undergraduates were enrolled from February to August 2021, achieving recruitment targets and enrollment rates of 76.9% and 90%. Seven out of the 10 enrolled dyads completed the full series of eight telephone conversations and qualitative assessments over an average of 10.5 weeks. Most older adults who completed the call schedule valued the conversations as a source of social connection, noting the mutuality, respect, and broadened perspective that characterized their intergenerational relationships. Undergraduates described value in giving to others and in conversations that stimulated personal reflection and feelings of closeness. Undergraduates frequently described their experience as novel and broadening of their perspectives. Though study completion rate and participant experience varied across dyads, we found qualitative evidence of perceived value, active relationship-building and broadened perspectives among many older adults and undergraduates who completed an intergenerational telephone program.
