Abstract in brief
- The study focused on exploring how structured social volunteering over 12 months can help reduce loneliness among lonely older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, using a carefully controlled trial in Hong Kong.
- Participants were older Chinese individuals (aged 50-70) who were lonely, low-income, living alone, digitally excluded, and willing to volunteer at least 2 hours weekly; they were randomly assigned to either a volunteering group or a control group receiving psychoeducation.
- Results were measured through loneliness scales at 6 and 12 months to assess whether volunteering activities effectively decreased loneliness compared to the control group, with evaluations conducted before and after the intervention period.
