About this learning unit
What is this learning unit about?
This learning unit is about being able to recognise the often hidden and "silent" phenomenon of loneliness. You will learn about situations in which loneliness occurs more frequently, how you can recognise thoughts and behaviour in yourself or the person you are caring for that indicate loneliness and how time can be given to consciously become aware of it.
Learning objective of the unit
On the one hand, the need for care poses an increased risk of loneliness. On the other hand, close relationships of trust can develop in care situations in which loneliness can be recognised and overcome together. Recognising and acknowledging loneliness in the first place is the first step.
