Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Sociology of Technology

Background:

  • Most older adults prefer to age in place, aligning with policy goals.
  • Technology offers potential for older adults to remain independent, active, and healthy.
  • Existing technology acceptance models lack predictors specific to community-dwelling older adults, necessitating context-specific research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore factors influencing technology use levels in older adults aging in place.
  • To develop a comprehensive model of these influencing factors.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative explorative field study with 53 community-dwelling older adults (aged 68-95) in the Netherlands.
  • Home visits included data collection on health, living situation, and technology use, alongside semi-structured interviews.
  • Thematic analysis of interview transcripts to identify key themes.

Main Results:

  • Technology use is shaped by six themes: independent living challenges, behavioral options, personal views on technology, social network influence, organizational impact, and the physical environment.
  • These factors collectively influence the extent to which older adults engage with technology.

Conclusions:

  • Older adults' technology perceptions and usage are deeply integrated within their personal, social, and physical contexts.
  • Recognizing these psychological and contextual factors is crucial for leveraging technology to support aging in place.
  • A conceptual model illustrating these interconnected factors is presented.
