“…Además, no se presentaron cambios en el grado del sentimiento de soledad entre los dos momentos, aunque, algunos autores relacionan la soledad y la depresión (29,30). Paúl (31), no obstante, afirma que, en general, los factores determinantes de la depresión no son los mismos que los del sentimiento de soledad, y según Theeke, el sentimiento de soledad es un constructo independiente de la depresión (23), lo que concuerda con los resultados de este trabajo.…”

“…For instance, living alone is commonly believed as an important predictor for loneliness in the U.S. population. [28] In our study, living arrangement was significantly associated with loneliness when filial expectation and socio-demographics were controlled. However, when perceived receipt of filial piety and socio-demographics were controlled, living arrangement was no longer significantly associated with loneliness.…”

“…The prevalence of loneliness among U.S. Chinese older adults is estimated to be 26%, [27] relatively high compared to 19.3% among U.S. older adults aged 65 and over based on U.S. Health and Retirement Study Data [28] and 25% among U.S. older adults aged 70 and over. [29] A qualitative study found that a majority of U.S. Chinese older adults attributed loneliness to the absence of satisfying intergeneralization relationships, [30] calling for more research attention to set up quantitative associations between filial piety and loneliness.…”

Background: Loneliness is an important health indicator for psychological well-being. This study aims to examine the association between filial piety and loneliness among Chinese older adults in the U.S. Methods: Data were drawn from the PINE study, a population-based study of 3,159 Chinese older adults aged 60 and above in the greater Chicago area. Severity of loneliness was the dependent variable. Independent variables were the expectation and perceived receipt of filial piety, examined in six domains. Negative Binomial Regression analyses were conducted. Results: Lower levels of perceived filial piety receipt were associated with greater severity of loneliness (Ratio of Expected Severity: 0.92, 0.91-0.94) after adjusting for socio-demographics and medical co-morbidities. Expectation of filial piety was not associated with severity of loneliness. Conclusion: Our findings indicate higher perceived receipt of filial piety may protect older adults from loneliness. Our study suggests that cultural sensitivity need to be considered in the detection and intervention of loneliness.

“…Além disso, estudos sobre a população norte-americana mostram que entre 15% e 30% das pessoas acima de 65 anos sentem-se cronicamente solitárias 4,5 . Esses são resultados preocupantes, pois a solidão tem sido associada com maior risco para o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais [6][7][8] , em especial a depressão 9 .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Este trabalho investigou as evidências de validade da Escala de Solidão UCLA para aplicação na população brasileira. Métodos Foram seguidas as fases: (1) autorização do autor e do Comitê de Ética; (2) tradução e retrotradução; (3) adaptação semântica; (4) validação. Utilizou-se para análise dos dados análise descritiva, fatorial exploratória, alpha de Cronbach, Kappa, teste de esfericidade de Barlett, teste Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin e correlação de Pearson. Para a adaptação, a escala foi submetida a especialistas e a um grupo focal com 8 participantes para adaptação semântica e a um estudo piloto com 126 participantes para adaptação transcultural. Da validação, participaram 818 pessoas, entre 20 e 87 anos, que responderam a duas versões da UCLA, ao Questionário de Saúde do Paciente, à Escala de Percepção de Suporte Social e a um questionário elaborado pelos autores. Resultados A escala mostrou dois fatores, que explicaram 56% da variância e alpha de 0,94. Conclusões A Escala de Solidão UCLA-BR indicou evidências de validade de construto e discriminante, além de boa fidedignidade, podendo ser utilizada para avaliação da solidão na população brasileira.
