Growth and development processes occur that include biological and psychosoci al dimensions, making them vulnerable to situations that usually involve significant changes in their social environment, which makes them more prone to experience loneliness. Objective: To determine the effect of nursing intervention in relation to social loneliness in institutionalized older adults. Methodology: Quantitati v e approach, quasi-experimental design, longitudinal cut whose survey will be applied in two time lines pre and post, consists of 3 factors which measure the level of social loneliness, non-probabilistic purposive sampling. The research study was carried out with 10 older adults from the “Hogar Sagrado Corazón de Jesús” (Sacred Heart of Jesus Home). Results: The results obtained through the ESTE II Scale were analyzed. Initially, the first factor presented a mean score of 83%, which progressively improved until reaching low levels. As for the second factor, it maintained a high score without variations. Regarding subjective social participation, an improvement was observed, going from a high level (69%) to a low one, which shows the effectiveness of the intervention. Conclusions: Out of 65 older adults, 10 presented high social loneliness, mainly in women. Animal - assisted therapy improved the emotional well-being of older adults, improvements in physical activity, an increase in socialization, as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms were evidenced.

    This research was conducted at the Technical University of Ambato and its objective was to identify the relationship between obsessive-compulsive behavior and social loneliness in adults. The research was correlational and cross-sectional, with the participation of 312 students, both men and women, of the Clinical Psychology career belonging to the Faculty of Health Sciences. To determine the presence of obsessive- compulsive behavior in the aforementioned population, the Obsessive Compulsions Test - Revised (OCI - R) was used to identify the absence of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), OCD traits and the presence of OCD, and the Social Loneliness Scale (ESTE II) was used to identify the level of social loneliness present in the participants. The analysis of the data obtained was done using the SPSS statistical package, with which, through Spearman's correlation test, the existence of a relationship between Obsessive Compulsive Behavior and Social Loneliness in the participants was identified. Regarding the OCI - R Test, the results showed that 49.7% of the 100% of the participants presented obsessive compulsive behavior, while in relation to the ESTE II Scale, it was established that the predominant level of social loneliness was the low level with 52.9% of the total population. In addition, based on a comparison of the research variables with the sex of the participants, the Chi-square test was used to determine the absence of a relationship between the two.
