Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to psychosocial issues, one of the most common being loneliness. If left unaddressed, loneliness can lead to a reduced quality of life and an increased risk of mental health disorders, including depression and even suicidal behavior. One effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce loneliness is group activity therapy, such as free drawing. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of the elderly, assess the level of loneliness they experience, and analyze the effect of free drawing activity therapy on reducing loneliness among elderly residents in the Nursing Home.
