Moreover, the results show that their overall physical health and anxiety influence their well-being, self-efficacy and experienced loneliness. (Less)

Scale användes för att mäta emotionell och social ensamhet, och General SelfEfficacy Scale (GSE) användes för att mäta självförmåga. Resultaten visar att 70-pluspopulationens välmående i Sverigeunder denna period är starkt kopplad till deras
självförmåga och upplevda ensamhet. Resultaten visare vidare att deras allmänna
fysisk hälsa och upplevda oro påverkar deras välmående, självförmåga och upplevda
ensamhet. Däremot fanns inga skillnader mellan män och kvinnor utifrån dessa
aspekter. (Less)
