Description
Tina Kilaberia, Yuanyuan Hu, Edward Ratner, and Janice Bell study social isolation in older adults during COVID-19 in two thousand twenty-three. Older adults were hit hard by the virus and by rules that kept people apart. The team used written surveys plus phone and video interviews. They compared adults with health problems to those without them.
Half of those with health problems put off routine care. Many felt cut off when they could not go to church. Church was the biggest event in their week. Those with health problems also felt stress from both the virus rules and social unrest. The authors say faith support may guard against isolation in a crisis.
