“…With an aging population and an increasingly economistic society, loneliness is becoming a concern due to its negative impact on social welfare. 25 In the present study, our aim was to involve not only institutionalized elderly persons, but also those who remained in their own homes while attending day/community centers. The choice of these two groups of elderly persons (institutionalized and those living at home and attending day/community centers) was not made in order to establish a comparison, but to obtain a wider spectrum of opinions, for as Neto 22 says, loneliness is a sentiment that can be expressed by a person in any situation.…”

Introduction: Loneliness is a painful and distressing feeling that leads to a malaise where a person feels alone, despite being surrounded by people, feeling that he or she lacks support, especially of an emotional nature. It is most common in adolescence, but is also prevalent in old age. Objective: To identify the opinion of elderly persons in relation to feelings of loneliness. Methodolog y: The respondents were 73 elderly men and women living at home but attending day care/social centers. A random convenience sample was used, consisting of elderly persons who were able and wished to respond to a short, duly tested questionnaire with mixed response questions. Confidentiality was respected throughout the study. Results: In 78.1% of respondents, a significant person was a family member who was not a spouse (especially daughters and granddaughters); 79.4% reported feeling sometimes or rarely/ never feeling lonely. Widowed or divorced elderly persons were those who most frequently referred to sometimes feeling lonely. To reduce loneliness, they suggested various forms of interaction and activities in which communication predominated. Intergenerational solidarity was also cited. Conclusions: Although loneliness is described as an increasing problem for the elderly, its frequency was not high among those interviewed, perhaps because the respondents engaged in social activities. A longitudinal study aimed at elderly persons who stayed at home, with a representative sample of the elderly population in a given region, who participated or did not participate in social activities, is recommended to provide a broader perspective of the views of the elderly about loneliness.

“…It is noteworthy to mention that Buddhism has a strong influence in Thai traditional medicine since the essence of the Buddha's teaching is to convey people to seek liberation from illness and fear of death (17). Thus, Thai Buddhism represented not only religious beliefs, but also a means of finding ways of relieving and curing some symptoms and diseases (18)(19).…”

Hasil analisis penelitian ditemukan lima tema yaitu: memberikan dukungan total, memenuhi kebutuhan dasar, penderitaan dan hikmah bagi caregiver, kurangnya keterampilan dalam merawat, dan keterbatasan caregiver. Caregiver menderita masalah fisik, psikologis, dan sosial. Pada umumnya, caregiver merasa terabaikan, mereka membutuhkan informasi terkait penyakit pasien, cara merawat pasien strok, dan sumber-sumber komunitas pelayanan kesehatan.

Data were collected through indepth interview. Participants in this study were 16 people who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed by using Colaizzi approach.
