AMONG OLDER PEOPLE

2019-1-PL01-KA202-

THE PROJECT

ALONE project addresses the substantial need for the development of high quality work-based vocational education and training in the healthcare sector that facilitate the approach of vulnerable groups, older people affected by existential loneliness, in an efficient and structured way.

ALONE project will also raise awareness and contribute to a social dialogue about discrimination and social exclusion for patients that belongs to vulnerable groups in the partner countries.

THE TARGET GROUP

The target group of ALONE project are: nurses and other professionals.

ALONE PROJECT HAS TWO MAIN OBJECTIVE

Educate nurses about the different dimensions of loneliness to be able to detect and recognize loneliness in all its forms among older people; Encourage nurses and strengthen their ability to encounter loneliness in general and existential loneliness in particular.

The aim of the project is to develop a best practice collection in coping with older persons loneliness and a training package for nurses and other health care professionals who currently have limited or no training in how to cope with older persons affected by existential loneliness provide qualified and integrative care to this vulnerable target group. The training material to be adopted across Europe, will be developed by using a transnational project approach, a collection of good practice and pedagogical guidelines that take into account the European social and cultural diversity in various healthcare facilities for older people.

By increasing knowledge and awareness about these aspects among partners and their networks, the project will also promote a broader health and social dialogue about the need to have adequate training on dealing with loneliness among older people in order to provide better patient care.

Loneliness in its

existential form runs much

deeper than social and

physical loneliness and is

described as an unavoidable

condition of humanity

Loneliness among older people is a growing issue globally, even if the numbers are difficult to estimate as loneliness most commonly is measured as social loneliness only. Social loneliness embraces social aspects needs for human relationships and is often measured in the form of the number of contacts someone has, how extensive the social network is, cohabitation or not, etc. Even if other people surround you, you can experience profound loneliness in its existential form. Existential loneliness is usually described in association with death, dying, and cancer when questions about the meaning of life come to the fore. Studies involving health care staff (physicians, registered nurses, assistant nurses, social workers, physio- and occupational therapists) shows that the staff’s encounter with older people’s existential loneliness was experienced as both meaningful and challenging.
