Unmasking Loneliness: Introducing the TIL Scale for the Czech Context
Original language description
The study delves into the multifaceted nature of loneliness in contemporary society, revealing the inadequacy of standardized measures to fully capture its essence, es¬pecially in discerning chronic from acute forms (Prohaska et al., 2020). The trajectory of loneliness is notably influenced by various life stages, with both young and older adults often experiencing heightened levels. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exac¬erbated this issue, especially among the elderly (Su et al., 2023). Globally, variations in the prevalence of loneliness are evident, suggesting sociocultural determinants. In the wake of the pandemic, social loneliness became more pronounced, but living with partners or possessing adequate social capital emerged as potential mitigating fac¬tors. The role of technology was underscored, emphasizing the need for older adults to be technologically adept in order to benefit from tech-assisted interventions. As loneliness and mental health are intertwined, targeted interventions, especially post-pandemic, are vital. Our research presents results of preliminary psychometric testing of the TIL scale. These results suggest that the TIL scale is a promising tool for assessing loneliness in the Czech context, paving the way for effective interventions.
