项目摘要

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a virtual medium for sustaining human relations, personal communication and social participation. Older adults are the emerging segment of ICT consumers. However, with reports indicating an ever-growing digital skill divide between them and younger ICT users, a vast population of older adults may not get to realize the multidimensional benefits of ICT. With these trends combined with a decline in health and functioning associated with aging, distinctive cohorts of older adults remain at-risk of losing social connections and access to community resources. Therefore, it is critical to explore whether investing in resources to improve access and use of ICT by high-risk older adults can augment their technology adoption, social connections, information and health resource access and independent community living. This project has two specific aims. The first aim is to gain an understanding of the characteristics and the needs of high-risk older adults in using and adopting ICT, specifically focusing on current usage, challenges, and barriers to learning, and identification of personal goals linked to ICT. Based on these findings, the second aim is to develop a novel ICT intervention specific to the needs of high- risk older adults and empirically test its effect on broad ranging psychosocial and health indicators. The second aim's activity [intervention] will target the identified high-risk cohorts of older adults living in small towns and rural communities in New Hampshire, because the scope of ICT may be more significant in terms of their health, subjective well-being, and community access. To address Aim I, we will conduct a needs assessment of older adults through: 1) a survey of 400 older adults; and 2) two focus groups comprised of older adults (n=12) and primary support family members and agency personnel (n=12). To address Aim II, we will conduct a two-year randomized study with 80 older adults with 40 enrolled in an individualized home-based ICT training program, and the other 40 assigned to a control group. The training will be regulated in a way to facilitate sustainable use of ICT by the end of the study. Data will be collected prior to the training and during six-month intervals through the two-year study and will include measures of social connectedness, technology adoption and self-efficacy, independence, subjective wellbeing and health. The findings are expected to generate evidence- based knowledge and inform health and service providers about practical strategies for incorporating ICT for meaningful aging-in-place. This study will be useful contribution to gerontology and ICT research, as it will yield data that has not previously been reported within the target population.
 描述(由应用程序提供):信息和通信技术(ICT)已成为维持人际关系,个人交流和社会参与的虚拟媒介。老年人是ICT消费者的新兴部分。但是,由于报告表明他们与年轻的ICT使用者之间不断增长的数字技能鸿沟,因此大量的老年人可能无法意识到ICT的多维收益。随着这些趋势与与衰老相关的健康和功能的下降,老年人的独特人群仍然处于失去社交联系和获得社区资源的危险中。因此,至关重要的是要探索投资于改善高风险老年人对ICT的资源的投资是否可以扩大其技术采用,社交联系,信息和健康资源访问以及独立的社区生活。该项目有两个具体的目标。第一个目的是了解特征和 高风险老年人在使用和采用ICT方面的需求,特别关注当前的使用,挑战和学习障碍以及确定与ICT相关的个人目标。基于这些发现,第二个目的是开发针对高风险老年人需求的新型ICT干预措施,并在经验上检验其对广泛的社会心理和健康指标的影响。第二个目标的活动[干预]将针对居住在新罕布什尔州的小镇和农村社区中的已确定的高风险人群,因为ICT的范围在其健康,主观的幸福感和社区访问方面可能更为重要。为了解决目标我,我们将通过以下方式对老年人进行需求评估:1)对400名老年人进行调查; 2)包括老年人(n = 12)和主要支持家庭成员和代理人员(n = 12)的两个焦点小组。地址AIM II,我们将对80名老年人进行了为期两年的随机研究,其中40名招募了一个个性化的家庭ICT培训计划,而其他40个则分配给对照组。该培训将以促进研究结束时促进可持续使用ICT的方式进行监管。数据将在培训之前和为期六个月的时间间隔内收集,并将包括社会联系,技术采用和自我效能,独立性,主观健康和健康的措施。这些发现有望产生基于证据的知识,并向健康和服务提供者提供有关将ICT纳入有意义的现场老化的实用策略的信息。这项研究将是对老年病和ICT研究的有用贡献,因为它将产生以前在目标人群中没有报道的数据。
