The COVID-19 pandemic increased social isolation for many older adults, causing concern for their health and well-being. To enhance understanding of how community-dwelling older adults were impacted by prolonged social isolation during COVID-19, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted to: (1) explore the self-reported factors supporting their resilience during COVID-19 related social isolation, and (2) to help understand the intentional and unintentional outcomes of the government mandated health measures. A total of 19 community dwelling older adults were sampled. Factors that supported older adults' resilience during COVID-19 included maintaining positivity, drawing on historical experiences of resilience and finding opportunities to connect with their community. However, collective safety came with losses: such as time, freedom, opportunity, engagement, and initiative. The findings provide insight on contributing factors to resilience against social isolation in older adults and suggest the value of collective, community-based approaches to build resilience across variable contexts in this population.
新冠疫情增加了许多老年人的社会隔离，引起了人们对他们健康和幸福的关注。为了更好地了解社区居住的老年人在新冠疫情期间如何受到长期社会隔离的影响，进行了一项定性描述性研究，以：（1）探索在新冠疫情相关社会隔离期间支持他们韧性的自我报告因素，以及（2）帮助理解政府强制实施的卫生措施的有意和无意结果。总共抽取了 19 名社区居住的老年人作为样本。在新冠疫情期间支持老年人韧性的因素包括保持积极性、利用韧性的历史经验以及寻找与社区联系的机会。然而，集体安全也带来了损失：例如时间、自由、机会、参与和主动性。研究结果提供了关于老年人对抗社会隔离的韧性的促成因素的见解，并表明了集体、以社区为基础的方法在该人群中针对不同背景建立韧性的价值。
