Compartiendo Salud
The intervention proposed (Compartiendo Salud) is a multicomponent intervention based on prevention and on promoting the health of older adults that live alone. The community-based intervention consists in five workshops that are carried out during a week (one day for each workshop). The sessions (which last 2.5 hours each) are designed in an expository and participatory way, using gaming dynamics that foster learning and social interaction. The content of the workshops is the same for all BHDs. Each workshop addresses risk factors that predispose the population to experiencing more unwanted loneliness and social isolation. The concepts corresponding to each of the five sessions that comprise the intervention are: Sleep hygiene, Healthy and sustainable eating habits, Physical activity and exercise, Memory and music therapy, Digital literacy
