Nowadays, both loneliness and depression are two factors that in separate have a big negative and relevant impact on the health of older adults, and are strongly connected to each other. Together, they form a retroalimentation relationship, which ends up causing a progressive deterioration and that way we can alleviate it. From Primary Care, a detection and an early approach can be achieved through specific nursing interventions, with the purpose of improving the health and quality life in the elderly people. Main objective: To study the effectiveness of nursing interventions to prevent or mitigate loneliness and/or depression nolder adults in Sant Feliu de Guíxols Primary Care Center. Methodology: Quasi experimental study with a pre-post dessign, which lasts a term in Primary Care Center (CAP) Sant Feliu de Guíxols, located in Baix Empordà (Girona). The study population will be the people with an age equal or superior to 65 years old in this CAP, which are in risk of loneliness and/or depression, with a non-probabilistic and convenience sampling. Sociodemographic variables and related with the loneliness and mental health are going to be studied. Data will be collected using three questionnaires: the first one will be of demographic data ad hoc, another one to evaluate the risk factors of loneliness and lastly, to identify the depression risk factors. Afterwards, two validated scales will be used: the Loneliness Scale UCLA-3, to messure the degree of loneliness and the inventory of Depression of Beck (BI-II), to evaluate depression. In relation to ethical considerations, this project will be presented to Clinical Research Ethics Committe of Institut Universitari d’Investigació en Atenció Primària (IDIAP) Jordi Gol, in order to receive an approval. Then, it will be presented to the managment of the Primary Care Team of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, in order to receive their approval. Participation will be voluntary and anonymous and each participating will have to sign an informed consent. The anonymity and confientiality of their data will be guaranteed. The data will be studied and analyzed through the statistic program Statistical Package for the Social Science, 25.0 version (IBM)
