What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Loneliness is a global health issue, particularly affecting the physical and mental health of older adults residing in long term care. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated isolation in these settings, calling for an urgent attention for finding an effective intervention to alleviate loneliness among long term care residents. Mind-body interventions (MBIs) present as a potentially promising approach aimed at reducing loneliness and mental wellbeing. This study aims to examine the effect of a nurse-led MBI compared to a befriending intervention on loneliness, quality of life, depression and level of mindfulness among older adults in long term care. The primary outcome is loneliness while secondary outcome is quality of life, depression and level of mindfulness.
