| Abstract |
Correlates reduced social networks, depression, physical disability, and functional dependence with loneliness in long-term care facilities in NZ. Uses a correlational research design and a convenience sample of 36 older peopl,e with a mean age of 81, from four long-term care facilities in a metropolitan city, to assess functional independence, perceived health and well-being, depression, and levels of loneliness. Suggests that nurses working in such settings should consider and assess loneliness in their care plans for older people. |

| Abstract |
Synthesises available evidence on loneliness among older adults in aged residential care settings and identifies interventions that ameliorate loneliness for residents.

Determines that interventions must foster reciprocal relationships and promote quality social engagement with others, while residents must receive personalised care to reduce loneliness. |
