Department of Social Sciences and Policy Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong (VFYT, KLC), Taipo, Hong Kong, China.
Objective: In this three-armed RCT, we tested the effects of a telephone-delivered wisdom enhancement narrative therapy-based intervention (Tele-NT) and a telephone-delivered empathy-focused intervention (Tele-EP) in reducing loneliness against an active control group that received regular call (ACG) at the 4-week follow-up assessment.
Design, Setting, Intervention, And Participants: To evaluate the effects of the interventions on loneliness, we randomized 287 older adults based in Hong Kong, ages 65 to 90, into Tele-NT (N = 97), Tele-EP (N = 95), or ACG (N = 95).
Measurement: The primary outcome was loneliness, calculated using the De Jong Gierveld Scale and the UCLA Loneliness Scale.
