Health Literacy

4.0K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

94
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Aging01:26

Aging

49
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

105
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Digital Health
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Digital technology is a social determinant of health impacting older adults' independence and social connection.
  • Disparities in technology adoption are significant among older adults, particularly those with low incomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a digital literacy training program for low-income older adults.
  • To utilize a community-engaged learning (CEL) approach to train students about aging.

Main Methods:

  • An 8-week digital literacy training program paired 27 undergraduates with 18 low-income older adults.
  • Weekly training sessions were held at a senior center, supplemented by classroom learning for students on aging and design thinking.
  • Pre- and post-training surveys assessed digital literacy, confidence, loneliness, and attitudes toward aging.

Main Results:

  • Older adults showed significant improvements in digital literacy skills and confidence.
  • Attitudes toward aging improved, and participants expressed enthusiasm for the program; loneliness levels remained unchanged.
  • Student comfort in working with older adults increased, and positive trainee-trainer relationships were reported.

Conclusions:

  • A community-engaged learning (CEL) approach effectively connects students and low-income older adults, showing potential to reduce the digital divide.
  • Further research is needed to explore the program's efficacy, scalability, and broader benefits for both age groups.
