孤独是老年人的一个恶性问题，与身体衰退和与有价值的社会群体隔离有关。然而，衰老、身份认同和孤独感的长期演变经验尚未得到阐明。我们使用定性纵向研究访谈方法对9名脆弱的老年人（Agemean= 79.4岁）进行了访谈，其中5名参与者在2019年至2020年期间接受了两次访谈，4名参与者在2019年至2021年的三个时间点接受了访谈。这项研究旨在了解在冠状病毒大流行期间长时间的社会隔离期间，衰老，社会认同和孤独感的发展经历。一个理论指导的主题分析强调，参与者最初的经验“归类为脆弱和机构的损失”和“缩小社会世界”，导致“破坏互惠支持”和“持续孤独的恐惧”。研究结果表明，改善老年人孤独感的干预措施将受益于解决基于年龄的刻板印象，并强调老年人可以对其网络做出互惠贡献的价值，以及脚手架和增强与新群体的社会认同。请参阅补充材料部分，以找到本文的社区和社会影响声明。
Loneliness is a pernicious problem in older adulthood, associated with physical decline and isolation from valued social groups. However, the long‐term evolving experiences of ageing, identity and loneliness have yet to be elucidated. We use a Qualitative Longitudinal Research interview approach with nine vulnerable older adults (Agemean= 79.4 years), in which five participants were interviewed twice between 2019 and 2020, and four participants were interviewed at three‐time points from 2019 to 2021. This study aims to understand the unfolding experiences of ageing, social identity and loneliness during a prolonged period of social isolation during the Coronavirus pandemic. A theoretically guided thematic analysis highlights that participants initially experience ‘Categorisation as Vulnerable and Loss of Agency’ and ‘Shrinking Social Worlds’, leading to ‘Undermining of Reciprocal Support’ and ‘Fears of Persistent Loneliness’. Findings suggest that interventions to ameliorate loneliness among older adults would benefit from addressing age‐based stereotypes and emphasising the value of reciprocal contributions that older adults can make to their networks, as well as scaffolding and enhancing social identification with new groups.
