Descripción de la cartera de servicios sociales ofertados en la población rural salmantina para el colectivo de personas mayores de 60 años y análisis de utilización

Abstract

[ES]Cualquier intervención en soledad además de abordar factores individuales y psicosociales, debe identificar los factores socioestructurales que en cada caso puedan estar condicionando la relación existente entre salud funcional, cognitiva y social, en términos de recursos, y los sentimientos de soledad (Burholt, Windle y Morgan, 2017). La Diputación de Salamanca a través de su red de servicios (programas y recursos) se fija como acción específica ofrecer a las personas que viven solas iniciativas para dotarlos de competencias para gestionar adecuadamente su vida diaria y apoyarles en el establecimiento de vínculos emocionales significativos.
