雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学的一名学生正在为在冠状病毒大流行期间独自生活的老年人提供急需的支持和友谊。 来自巴克利的sarah obrien已经注册了age cymru的“有需要的朋友”电话交友服务，该服务面向70岁以上自我隔离或处于屏蔽群体的人。 当高级讲师helen coleman向这位（ba）hons教育与儿童保育专业的学生讲述了这个项目，以及全国有多少人是独自一人时，她受到了启发，参加了这个项目。 她说：“当我想到我们一天中检查手机的次数，以及我们从人们那里收到的信息时；这些老年人完全靠自己，没有任何人的消息——我真的很想这么做。 “交友者与一个人配对，并被要求每周聊天，以缓解孤独感。 他们通常每周在同一时间给同一个人打电话，倾听并监测总体健康状况。 莎拉与一位89岁的名叫米拉的女士配对，米拉喜欢谈论她最喜欢的电视节目，她写的美国悬疑剧《谋杀》。 她说：“当我拿到她的个人资料时，有一件事让我印象深刻，那就是上面写着‘近亲’，旁边写着‘没有人’。 “我想我突然想到，有人独自一人在家的现实。 她听起来很脆弱，身体也不太好。 莎拉希望说服朋友和家人报名参加这项服务。 她说：“我只希望每个人都这么做。”。 “这只是你一周中的十分钟，但对他们来说，有人倾诉是一件大事。 ”。a wrexham glyndwr university student is offering much-needed support and friendship to elderly people who are on their own during the coronavirus pandemic.sarah o’brien, from buckley, has signed up for age cymru’s friend in need telephone befriending service, which is aimed at over-70s who are self-isolating or who are in the shielded group.the (ba) hons education with childcare student was inspired to take part when senior lecturer helen coleman told her about the project, and how many people are alone across the country.she said: “when i thought about how many times we check our phones throughout the day, and how many messages we get from people; and these elderly people are completely on their own and don’t hear from anyone - i really wanted to do it.”befrienders are matched up with a person and asked to engage in a weekly chat to alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness.they usually call the same person each week at the same time, to provide a listening ear and monitor general well-being.sarah has been matched up with an 89 year-old lady named myra, who loves to chat about her favourite television show, american mystery drama series murder she wrote.she said: “one thing that stuck out to me when i got her profile was where it said ‘next of kin’ and next to it was ‘no-one’.“i think it just hit me, the reality of someone being home alone. she sounded so fragile and she wasn’t very well."sarah hopes to persuade friends and family to sign up for the service.“i just wish everyone would do it,” she said.“it’s just ten minutes out of your week but for them, it’s such a huge thing to have someone to talk to.” .本文来源： Glyndwr学生帮助解决老年人隔离问题的项目
