Guided by the RE-AIM framework, the current study sought to examine the relationship between perceived needs of older adults living in publicly supported housing and loneliness. Participants were males and females aged 70 to 83 years who identified as White or Chinese. Using the Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule and UCLA Loneliness Scale, the relationship between residents' needs and loneliness was assessed to guide the development of interventions. Results revealed residents self-reported 54% of their needs were met and rated their loneliness at a score of 36.5 (moderate level). Furthermore, there was a medium positive correlation between unmet needs and loneliness whereby high unmet needs were associated with higher loneliness scores. Findings suggest that these older adults living in publicly supported housing are vulnerable to the negative consequences of loneliness. Implementing equitable and inclusive interventions to address the impact of loneliness in the context of social determinants of health is warranted.

生活在公共支持住房中的老年人的孤独感和未满足的需求。

在 RE-AIM 框架的指导下，本研究旨在探讨居住在公共住房中的老年人的感知需求与孤独感之间的关系。参与者是年龄在 70 至 83 岁之间的白人或华人男性和女性。使用坎伯韦尔需求短期评估表和加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表，评估居民的需求和孤独感之间的关系，以指导干预措施的制定。结果显示，居民自我报告 54% 的需求得到满足，孤独感评分为 36.5（中等水平）。此外，未满足的需求与孤独感之间存在中等正相关，即未满足的需求高与孤独感得分较高相关。研究结果表明，这些居住在公共住房中的老年人很容易受到孤独感的负面影响。有必要实施公平和包容性的干预措施，以解决健康问题社会决定因素背景下孤独感的影响。[老年护理研究，16(5), 217-223.]。
