Abstract:
Demographic change in the developed world is leading to a higher proportion of older adults and longer life expectancy. Measures to control the coronavirus disease have affected older adults the most. Social isolation and access to remote health services has been a problem for many people. We have used the method of scientific literature review. The selection of articles was made in accordance with the following inclusion criteria: accessibility, scientificity, content relevance and topicality. After selection, the results were analysed by qualitative content analysis. With the content analysis of twenty scientific articles, we gained an insight into digital literacy of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three content categories were identified: (1) poor digital literacy of older adults, (2) inequality in ICT access, (3) use of ICT reduces the negative impact of social isolation. We note that there is a large digital divide in digital literacy and competences among older adults which expanded during the coronavirus disease pandemic. Several factors, including socio-economic status, internet access and the poor adaptation of ICT for older adults affect digital literacy. Rapid development of remote health and social care, poor digital literacy of older adults and the poor adaptation of ICT for older adults dictate that the problem must be tackled systemically.
摘要:
发达国家的人口变化导致老年人比例更高,预期寿命更长。控制冠状病毒疾病的措施对老年人的影响最大。社会隔离和获得远程医疗服务一直是许多人的问题。我们使用了科学文献综述的方法。根据以下纳入标准选择了文章:可访问性,科学性,内容相关性和话题性。选择后,对结果进行了定性内容分析。通过对20篇科学文章的内容分析,在COVID-19大流行期间,我们深入了解了老年人的数字素养。确定了三个内容类别:(1)老年人的数字素养差,(2)信通技术获取方面的不平等,(3)ICT的使用减少了社会隔离的负面影响。我们注意到,在冠状病毒大流行期间,老年人在数字素养和能力方面存在巨大的数字鸿沟。几个因素,包括社会经济地位,互联网接入和ICT对老年人的适应性差影响了数字素养。边远卫生和社会保健迅速发展,老年人的数字素养差和老年人对ICT的适应性差决定了必须系统地解决这一问题。
