Estrategias de enfermería para mejorar la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores que viven en soledad.

Loneliness among older adults is presented as a multidimensional public health challenge, whose etiology affects their physical, psychological, and social well-being in an integral manner. The purpose of this study is to describe nursing strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of older adults living in loneliness, based on the identification of associated physical, psychological, and social factors; the analysis of their effects at the individual family, and social levels; and the establishment of individual, group, and social-connection. Methodology: A documentary, qualitative, and descriptive study was conducted based on a review of publications from the period 2020–2025. Digital repositories and scientific databases such as Dialnet, Elsevier, and SciELO were used for evidence selection. Conclusions: Loneliness reduces quality of life, deteriorates mental health, and affects functional autonomy. The identified factors are physical, psychological, and social. It is proposed that multidimensional nursing strategies must go beyond the biomedical approach and provide comprehensive care. These strategies may include personalized care focused on risk prevention, adapted nutrition, tele-nursing, as well as group and social approaches supported by technology and support networks. All of these contribute to promoting active aging, restoring social roles, and maintaining the functional independence of older adults.
