First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether motivational interviewing—a supportive, client-centered conversation style—can reduce loneliness and improve daily living skills and quality of life in 60 older adults aged 65+ who live alone. Participants will receive the interview sessions, and researchers will measure changes using standard scales. The goal is to see if this simple approach can make a meaningful difference for seniors living solo.
