各种各样的人口发现自己遭受社会孤立或孤独。这两种情况都与各种负面结果有关，包括身体，心理和社会健康状况不佳。根据从美国西南部一个社区的420名样本中收集的数据，这项研究报告了与社会孤立和孤独有关的情况。回归分析结果显示，性别、压力、孤独感、社区健康和社会凝聚力与社会隔离有显著相关。独居、抑郁/焦虑、压力和社交孤立与孤独感有统计学显著相关。这些研究结果对社会工作实践和研究的影响进行了讨论。
Individuals across a wide variety of demographies find themselves suffering from social isolation or loneliness. Both of these conditions have been associated with a variety of negative outcomes including poor physical, mental and social health. Based on data collected from a sample of 420 individuals from a community in the South Western US, this research reports on conditions associated with social isolation and loneliness. Results of regression analysis indicate sex, stress, loneliness, community health and social cohesion were statistically significantly associated with social isolation. Living alone, depression/anxiety, stress and social isolation were statistically significantly associated with loneliness. The implications of these findings for social work practice and research is discussed.
