Loneliness, Social Support and Depression as Interactive Variables with Cognitive Status: Testing Roy's Model

Maura C. Ryan, RN; PhD

Hunter College, New York, N

This study examined the relationships between and among the variables of loneliness, social support, depression, and cognitive functioning in adults over 60, living in senior housing in a metropolitan area. Other variables, namely, life-satisfaction and ability to perform activities of daily living, were also measured. Although the research hypotheses were not supported, relationships between subjects' health status, life satisfaction, and self-assessment of health were significant. Assessment of these variables by community and advanced practice nurses who work with community elderly, to effect positive client outcomes, is presented within the context of Roy's adaptation model

Key Words: Cognitive Status • Elderly • Loneliness • Roy's Adaptation Model
