Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Ensamhet och social isolering är ett ökande folkhälsoproblem som många arbetsterapeuter möter i sin yrkesutövning. Det finns arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som stödjer social delaktighet för att motverka ensamhet och isolering bland äldre. En aktuell sammanställning av kunskapsläget som belyser vad den nyaste forskningen visar att arbetsterapeutiska interventioner kan bidra med för att öka social delaktighet för gruppen äldre utan inriktning mot specifika skador och sjukdomar saknas dock.
Syfte: Att sammanställa kunskapsläget om hur arbetsterapeutiska interventioner kan öka social delaktighet och minska ensamhet och social isolering hos äldre (60+).
Metod: Litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats. Databaserna CINAHL, PsycINFO... (More)

Syfte: Att sammanställa kunskapsläget om hur arbetsterapeutiska interventioner kan öka social delaktighet och minska ensamhet och social isolering hos äldre (60+).
Metod: Litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats. Databaserna CINAHL, PsycINFO samt PubMed användes vid datainsamling. Tolv artiklar inkluderades och innehållet analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys.
Resultat: Tio olika arbetsterapeutiska interventioner i olika former och på olika platser identifierades. Majoriteten inkluderade gruppträffar, men även en individuell intervention identifierades. Innehållsanalysen resulterade i tre huvudkategorier som sammanfattar hur de arbetsterapeutiska interventionerna ökade social delaktighet hos äldre genom ökad tillhörighet, meningsfulla aktiviteter och främjande miljö.
Slutsats: Resultatet visar att arbetsterapeutiska interventioner kan bidra till att öka social delaktighet hos äldre. Arbetsterapeuter skulle kunna adressera ohälsosam ensamhet och social isolering i större utsträckning än idag genom arbete på olika samhällsnivåer. (Less)
Abstract
Background: Loneliness and social isolation is an increasing public health problem that many occupational therapists meet within their clinical practice. There are occupational therapy interventions supporting social participation to counteract loneliness and isolation amongst older adults. However, an overview of the latest research findings of occupational therapy interventions’ contributions for an increased social participation in older adults without focusing on specific injuries or illnesses is lacking.
Aim: To make an overview of how occupational therapy interventions can increase social participation and decrease loneliness and social isolation in older adults (60+).

Aim: To make an overview of how occupational therapy interventions can increase social participation and decrease loneliness and social isolation in older adults (60+).
Method: A literature review with an inductive approach. The databases CINAHL, PsycINFO and PubMed were used for data collection. Twelve articles were included, and a manifest content analysis was used.
Results: Ten different occupational therapy interventions in different forms and in different places were identified. The majority included group meetings, but there was also an individual intervention. The content analysis resulted in three categories summarizing how the occupational therapy interventions increased social participation in older adults through increased belonging, meaningful occupations and promotive environment.
Conclusion: The results show that occupational therapy interventions can increase social participation in older adults. Occupational therapists could address the unhealthy loneliness and social isolation more than what is done today through work at different societal levels. (Less)
