Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

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
Digital Literacy
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

The increasing digitalization of society necessitates understanding technology adoption among diverse age groups.
Limited research exists on the specific technology usage patterns and learning attitudes of the elderly population.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate technology usage patterns among elderly individuals.
To explore learning interests and self-directed learning attitudes in this demographic.
To identify the need for tailored digital literacy programs for seniors.

Main Methods:

A survey was administered to 61 elderly participants.
Data collected included frequency of technology use, interest in learning digital devices, and self-directed learning attitudes.
Responses were analyzed to identify key trends and correlations.

Main Results:

Elderly participants demonstrated high engagement with technology.
A strong inclination was observed towards learning new technological skills, particularly for healthcare applications.
Findings indicate a positive attitude towards integrating technology into daily life.

Conclusions:

The elderly demographic exhibits a significant readiness to adopt and learn new technologies.
Accessible and senior-friendly digital literacy programs are crucial to support this integration.
Future interventions should focus on leveraging technology for health and well-being in older adults.
