Severe loneliness ‘ubiquitous in Canada’ during pandemic lockdowns, study says. – via healthing_ca healthing healthnews mentalhealth covid19 pandemic
Isolation works in stopping the spread of COVID-19, but loneliness is really, really bad for our health.
To uncover population patterns of loneliness, the study took a machine-learning approach to data from the, which was collected during the second wave of COVID . After applying classification and regression tree modelling to the study’s 3,772 participants, the researcher found that migrants who experienced pandemic-related job insecurity were one of the groups most at risk of severe loneliness, as defined by the standardized UCLA 3-item loneliness scale.
“The COVID-19 pandemic amplified immigrants’ susceptibility to loneliness,” Lin said. “This may be due to the fact that many migrants to Canada are over-represented in low-paid, low-skilled, unstable jobs, such as retail positions, cleaners or cashiers, that require extensive interaction with the public, so they are at greater occupational risk of COVID-19 infection and consequential employment insecurity.
