“…This may also explain our observation that residents with better cognitive ability were less hesitant. To reduce loneliness, active recreation activities in RCHEs are effective means, e.g., [44,45], which could be improved by virtual reality technology [46], assistive pet robots [47], and telephone outreach [48].…”

Residents in residential care homes for the elderly (RCHEs) are at high risk of severe illnesses and mortality, while staff have high exposure to intimate care activities. Addressing vaccine hesitancy is crucial to safeguard vaccine uptake in this vulnerable setting, especially amid a pandemic. In response to this, we conducted a cross-sectional survey to measure the level of vaccine hesitancy and to examine its associated factors among residents and staff in RCHEs in Hong Kong. We recruited residents and staff from 31 RCHEs in July–November 2022. Of 204 residents, 9.8% had a higher level of vaccine hesitancy (scored ≥ 4 out of 7, mean = 2.44). Around 7% of the staff (n = 168) showed higher vaccine hesitancy (mean = 2.45). From multi-level regression analyses, higher social loneliness, higher anxiety, poorer cognitive ability, being vaccinated with fewer doses, and lower institutional vaccination rates predicted residents’ vaccine hesitancy. Similarly, higher emotional loneliness, higher anxiety, being vaccinated with fewer doses, and working in larger RCHEs predicted staff’s vaccine hesitancy. Although the reliance on self-report data and convenience sampling may hamper the generalizability of the results, this study highlighted the importance of addressing the loneliness of residents and staff in RCHEs to combat vaccine hesitancy. Innovative and technology-aided interventions are needed to build social support and ensure social interactions among the residents and staff, especially amid outbreaks.

“…When an individual www.nature.com/scientificreports/ mentions not having this type of leisure, the chances of a negative self-assessment of health can be close to three times higher. A possible explanation for this relationship is that a worse self-rated health status is associated with less social support 28 , and individuals in solitude have a negative association with leisure activities 29 . Haemodialysis requires a routine of long hours in health services and generates difficulties in maintaining leisure activities of the social type at the same frequency and intensity experienced before the beginning of treatment, which can generate unstable psychological conditions and a decrease in the quality of life 30 .…”

Self-assessment of health status is an important marker of social and health aspects. Haemodialysis is an option for renal replacement therapy that alters daily life and impacts social participation and the performance of tasks that give the subject a socially accepted role. In this scenario, leisure activities have the potential to generate well-being and are associated with several aspects of daily life, but few studies have analysed their relationship with the self-assessment of health status. This is a cross-sectional, census study with 1024 individuals from haemodialysis units of a Southeast Brazilian region, with the application of a questionnaire in 2019. We calculated the difference between the proportions of self-assessment of health status (positive and negative) and the two logistic regression models. The chances of individuals on haemodialysis negatively evaluating their health increase when they do not perform artistic leisure activities (OR 2.15; 95% CI 1.35–3.43), physical and sports activities (OR 3.20; 95% CI 1.86–5.52), intellectual (OR 2.21; 95% CI 1.44–3.41), manuals (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.22–2.72), social (OR 2.74; 95% CI 1.74–4.31), tourist (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.37–3.17) and idleness and contemplative (OR 1.92; 95% CI 1.29–2.85). Negative health self-assessment is associated with not practicing artistic, manual, physical and sporting, social, intellectual, tourist, and contemplative leisure activities, which have the function of providing social participation and giving meaning to life.

“…Contextos que promovam o lazer proporcionam aos residentes de ILPI vivências satisfatórias, melhoram as interações entre outros usuários, diminuem a solidão e níveis de estresse. 16 A faceta da Participação Social do WHOQOL-OLD evidencia a participação em atividades da comunidade, satisfação com o nível de atividade diária e a utilização do tempo. Nos resultados do presente estudo, observou-se que o escore foi regular e que deve ser melhorado, pois a ILPI não oferecem atividades de lazer diariamente para os idosos.…”

Metodologia - Trata-se de um estudo transversal-observacional descritivo, quantitativo. Um total de 44 idosos fizeram parte deste estudo, sendo 29 do Lar dos Idosos Henrique Estabile e 15 idosos do Solar Quatro Estações. A coleta de dados, ocrreu no período de 08 de dezembro de 2021 à 01 de junho de 2022. Os dados das entrevistas foram digitados em microcomputador e analisados em programa estatístico “Epiinfo 6”. Resultados - Foram entrevistados 26 idosos com diagnóstico para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT’s), residentes em ILPI. Ao avaliar o perfil socioeconômico de idosos com DCNT’s, constatou se que 65,3% do sexo masculino e 34,7% do sexo feminino. A idade predominante entre os idosos foi entre 70 a 80 anos e de 80 anos ou mais, ambas instituições. Com relação a hipertensão arterial sistêmica, a maior prevalência ocorreu em pacientes do sexo masculino, entre as faixas etárias 70-80 e acima de 80 anos, portadores de Diabetes Mellitus (50,0%). Conclusão - Conclui se que a qualidade de vida vai além da oferta da qualidade na assistência de saúde, sendo primordial a presença de uma equipe de enfermagem capacitada em sistematizar a assistência nas diversas perspetivas, com o enfoque na melhora e no acompanhamento da evolução clínica das doenças e na promoção de um envelhecimento.
