摘要

Abstract

China is gradually entering an aging society

and loneliness has become a common mental health issue among the older adults. Loneliness not only affects the mental health of the older adults

but also may lead to cognitive function decline and physical health problems. In recent years

metacognitive intervention techniques have been widely used as a psychological intervention for emotion regulation and cognitive improvement. This paper reviews the causes of loneliness in the older adults

the concept of metacognitive intervention techniques and the feasibility of its application in alleviating loneliness

providing new theoretical perspectives and practical directions for alleviating loneliness in the older adults.
