Understanding Loneliness Through Analysis of Twitter and Reddit Data: Comparative Study

Understanding Loneliness Through Analysis of Twitter and Reddit Data: Comparative Study

As opposed to social isolation, which is objective and points to a lack of any social connection, loneliness is hard to identify. Loneliness also follows a U-shaped curve demographically, that is, young and old people are the loneliest [4]. Because social media and technology are more frequently used by the younger generation, they are helpful for analyzing loneliness.

COVID-19–Related Social Isolation, Self-Control, and Internet Gaming Disorder Among Chinese University Students: Cross-Sectional Survey

Therefore, social isolation may be negatively correlated with self-control, and self-control may play a mediating role in the relationship between social isolation and IGD. Students who experienced severe social isolation had poor self-control and were consequently addicted to internet gaming.

Sleep During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal Observational Study Combining Multisensor Data With Questionnaires

Sleep During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal Observational Study Combining Multisensor Data With Questionnaires

Various factors have been identified as contributing to these disruptions in sleep routines, including decreased PA [23], social isolation [24], increased use of electronic devices [4], and the shift to working from home [13]. While previous studies have focused on the immediate consequences of lockdowns and restriction policies, less attention has been paid to the long-term effects, particularly during the late stages of the pandemic when restrictions began to relax.

The Impact of COVID-19 Health Measures on Adults With Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Cross-Sectional Study

Isolation was mandated, which resulted in the closing of daycares, schools, and nonessential businesses, as well as limiting travel between regions; in Québec, an early evening curfew was imposed. Family members spent an increased amount of time indoors, posing a risk of contracting COVID-19 from another family member, but also risking exposure to poor indoor air quality [35].

Improving Social Isolation and Loneliness Among Adolescents With Physical Disabilities Through Group-Based Virtual Reality Gaming: Feasibility Pre-Post Trial Study

Prior to COVID-19, adolescents with disabilities lagged in the development of adult life skills (eg, obtaining housing, seeking employment, developing intimate relationships, and participating in meaningful hobbies) [4] and experienced alarmingly higher rates of mental health disorders such as depression and isolation than peers without disabilities [5]. They were also far less likely to engage in social and health-enhancing physical activities [1,6-8].

The Indirect Impact of Educational Attainment as a Distal Resource for Older Adults on Loneliness, Social Isolation, Psychological Resilience, and Technology Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Quantitative Study

Limited exchanges with social network members may increase perceptions of stress, social isolation, and loneliness. Recent studies suggest that personal resources, such as technology use (TU) [18] and psychological resilience (PR) [19], may play a pivotal role in protecting older adults from isolation and loneliness.

Identifying Preferred Appearance and Functional Requirements of Aged Care Robots Among Older Chinese Immigrants: Cross-Sectional Study

Identifying Preferred Appearance and Functional Requirements of Aged Care Robots Among Older Chinese Immigrants: Cross-Sectional Study

Older Chinese immigrants are more prone to experiencing loneliness and social isolation than native older people due to language, transportation, and cultural barriers, which subsequently impact their physical and mental health [1]. In 2017, 11 million people emigrated from China to their destination countries [2]. New Zealand is one of the most popular host countries for Chinese immigrants, and as a result, it faces the growing needs of an increasingly diverse aging population.
