Rather than helping alleviate isolation, virtual contact during the Covid-19 pandemic has been more likely to result in older people feeling lonely, according to a new study.
But rather than helping alleviate isolation, this virtual contact was more likely to result in older people feeling lonely, according to the results of a study published Monday.Researchers from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom and the University of British Columbia in Canada observed a"notable increase" in loneliness in the US and a decline in general mental well-being in the UK following the outbreak of Covid-19.
" "It's surprising that virtual contact is associated with greater loneliness and mental distress than no contact, but then again, not so surprisingly, a wide array of research did document the digital burden, stress, and reluctance experienced by some in the ageing population," Hu explained."This has to do with a complex set of factors, such as digital access, device affordance, tech know-how, and potential digital stress among the ageing population," he added.
