  •   Objective  Given the prevalence of loneliness among Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, the objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a combination of online and offline peer education interventions based on the information motivation behavioral skills (IMB) model in improving loneliness among this population.  Methods  A total of 182 AD patients admitted to Shaoxing Seventh People's Hospital between February 2023 and June 2024 were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to either a control group (n=91) receiving standard care or an intervention group (n=91) receiving IMB-based hybrid peer education alongside routine care. The severity of loneliness was assessed prior to and following intervention using the University of California Los Angeles loneliness scale (ULS), the Alzheimer's disease knowledge scale (ADKS), and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scale, respectively. Disease-related knowledge and functional independence were also assessed.  Results  Following a six-month intervention period, the ULS score of the observation group patients was (8.18±2.71) points, which was lower than the control group's (12.85±3.68) points, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05); The ADKS score of the observation group was (18.54±3.14) points, which was higher than the control group's (15.72±3.02) points, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05);The score of the IADL for the observation group was (11.75±2.58) points, which was higher than that of the control group (9.83±2.46) points, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The IMB-model-guided hybrid peer education approach effectively mitigates feelings of loneliness, enhances disease understanding, and promotes functional autonomy in patients with AD.
