Introduction[edit | edit source]
The BMC Geriatrics journal defines social connectedness as "a positive subjective evaluation of the extent to which one has meaningful, close, and constructive relationships with other individuals, groups, or society indicated by: (1) feelings of caring about others and feeling cared about by others, such as love, companionship or affection and (2) feeling of belonging to a group or community." The authors go on to say that a lack of social connections may lead to loneliness and "reduced health and well-being, including poor life satisfaction, depression, low self-esteem, reduced hope, negative affect, and impaired function in activities of daily living."[1]
Social Connectedness for Health and Disease Management[edit | edit source]
Social connectedness and social interactions may be effective for the following:
- Homebound older adults[2]
- Individuals with a personality dysfunction[3]
- Mental well-being[4]
- Low back pain[5][6]
- Pain[7]
- Protective for deficits in social functioning in youth with a brain tumor[8]
- Underserved older adults with depression[9]
Practical Application[edit | edit source]
An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates that social prescribing could help patients with medical conditions that are influenced by social circumstanes.[10]
The following are some suggested patient education strategies to improve social connectedness for a patient’s health and well-being:
- Attend local sports events, music performances, or art and museum exhibits
- Connect with family and friends locally or through Zoom
- Create or join a lunchtime walking or tai chi club at work
- Engage in conventional group exercises such as softball, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, or tennis
- Engage in mind body exercises such as yoga, tai chi, or Pilates
- Enroll in art-based community activities such pottery, music, art, poetry, writing, or drama classes
- Go to a farmer’s market for grocery shopping
- Join or create a community garden club
- Join a gym or fitness center
- Join self-help groups
- Join social media platforms such as Facebook or meetup.com
- Play with your pets
- Take classes, such as cooking, dancing, or creative writing, at a local college or community college
- Volunteer at a community center or hospital
- Volunteer to coach sports or mentor students
- Walk in a mall club
- Walk at a park or on a nature trail
