Integrated Social and Healthcare Project for Unwanted Loneliness among the Elderly in the Alt Pirineu-Aran Regions (AISSS)
(2024-2025)
The Integrated Social and Healthcare Project for Unwanted Loneliness among the Elderly in the Alt Pirineu-Aran regions (AISSS Alt Pirineu-Aran) aims to tackle the challenge of unwanted loneliness through research aimed at expanding and strengthening the Vincles Alt-Pirineu Aran project by incorporating and involving the healthcare system.
Thanks to the collaboration with HISS (Hub of Social and Healthcare Innovation of Catalonia), which has selected the AISSS project in its 1st Call against Unwanted Loneliness, this project explores how to incorporate various data from the healthcare system and the perspectives of healthcare teams into the detection and intervention processes of the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project, in order to enable a common and integrated social and healthcare approach.
Unwanted loneliness and health
While it is true that unwanted loneliness is a phenomenon rooted in the social and emotional sphere, an increasing number of studies demonstrate the significant impact that loneliness can have on individuals, ranging from mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and stress, to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attacks.
Unwanted loneliness is also associated with a more sedentary lifestyle, as there are often few incentives to lead an active life. This factor can have serious health consequences and contribute to cognitive decline. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate the expertise of the healthcare sector both in detecting situations of unwanted loneliness and in intervening when necessary.
Big data for detecting unwanted loneliness
Both the Vincles project and AISSS are based on the successful experience of the Basque program Auzosare, promoted by Agintzari and Gislan, which combines a data analysis tool with direct community intervention. In the Vincles project, a set of 58 indicators is taken into account to classify all individuals over 65 years old according to their risk of experiencing unwanted loneliness, allowing for more proactive and preventive care for the entire population at risk of loneliness.
The goal of the AISSS project is to identify data and indicators from the healthcare system that can improve the accuracy of the loneliness risk algorithms of the Vincles project, and at the same time, determine the best ways for healthcare system agents to participate in the social intervention and community activation processes of the project.
Objectives
- Validate and expand the conceptual framework for detecting and intervening in unwanted loneliness of the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project to include the healthcare dimension.
- Analyze the set of indicators from the healthcare system to assess its ability to provide sensitive and specific data on unwanted loneliness.
- Understand the perspective of healthcare professionals from the 6 involved regions (Cerdanya, Alt Urgell, Alta Ribagorça, Pallars Sobirà, Pallars Jussà, and the Aran territory) on the loneliness-health issue, their expectations, and their requirements regarding a community-based early detection and intervention system that incorporates the healthcare aspect.
- Incorporate healthcare professionals into the detection and social intervention program of the Vincles project: data collection and contribution processes, case detection, and intervention prescription.
Expected Impacts and Improvements
- Improvement of interdisciplinary collaboration and communication, fostering collaboration and coordination among social and healthcare service professionals, reducing duplication of work.
- Training and skills development, enhancing the skills of social and healthcare professionals in detecting unwanted loneliness and intervention methods.
- Reduce the workload and emotional burden of workers by more effectively distributing their tasks and allowing for earlier intervention.
