Situation analysis of the social well-being of elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the daily lives of human beings are incalculable. Business, economic, and social life are all disrupted in the field of health care, as are challenges in the diagnosis, isolation, and treatment of suspected cases. The medical system is also burdened, as are patients who are suffering from other diseases or health problems. One of the most important factors in mental health is one's sense of belonging to a community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the social well-being of the population is threatened in a variety of ways. Various issues confront the elderly, and they have lost all of the pleasures that they had enjoyed before the COVID-19 pandemic hit them. Because they were unable to see even their closest relatives during the pandemic, the COVID-19 caused them to live a completely lonely life as older adults. By examining factors of well-being such as interpersonal relationships, neighbourhood and neighbourhood cohesion, material deprivation, most important occupation, social isolation, societal institutions, and societal participation, the current study attempts to determine the social well-being of elderly people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
