Abstract
ABSTRACT: The study is an integrative review of the literature, which aimed to evaluate the benefits of practices of integrative activities to combat loneliness in the elderly. The searches took place between January and February 2022, through Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE) databases. Thirteen articles were selected, all published in national and international journals, from 2018 to 2021. From the survey carried out, it was possible to identify that the practices of integrative activities with the advancement of science in recent years have become an indispensable tool in the healthy aging process. Such practices, such as music therapy, art therapy and aromatherapy, help to control anxiety and loneliness in the elderly, as they can be performed in a group, encouraging social interaction.
