Abstract [en]

Background: Involuntary and existential loneliness is a widespread societal problem with serious impact on healthy aging and wellbeing. Over half of those older persons living in special housing express sense of loneliness. DigiSTRENGTH; Reflective STRENGTH-giving dialogues with the digital platform Digitala Samtal, address this problem and will be evaluated in this project. Aim: To describe how loneliness in older persons living in special housing is experienced and influenced by DigiSTRENGTH. Methods: A qualitative and quantitative design. Participants are care providers and residents in special housing. Results: Pre-analysis of interviews analyzed with a phenomenological approach shows that the participants find the dialogues to be of value for sense of health and wellbeing. The dialogues are conducted in a new way compared to ordinary conversations; have a direction, a goal and a meaning. Conclusions and Implications: The pre-analysis address the need of extended individual and holistic guidance and support to diminish involuntary and existential loneliness in older persons lives. Dissemination of innovative strategies in local health care, as DigiSTRENGTH, could contribute to advance quality of care and improve meaning in life for older persons in special housing.
