To explore the Chinese community-dwelling intention of older adults to adopt gerontechnology and its influencing factors. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design with an inductive approach was employed. In phase 1, a self-made questionnaire was administered from August 2018 to December 2019. Multifactor logistic regression was used to analyze the adoption intention and factors influencing the use of gerontechnology. In phase 2, participants completed a semistructured interview to explore the adoption intention of a specific form of gerontechnology, , from May to July 2020. Twelve communities in three districts of Chongqing, China. Community-dwelling older adults were included. A total of 1,180 older adults completed the quantitative study; two-thirds of them (68.7%) showed adoption intention toward gerontechnology. Nineteen participants (10 users and nine nonusers) completed the qualitative study and four themes were explored. Through a summarized understanding of the qualitative and quantitative data, a conceptual model of influencing factors, namely, predictive, enabling, and need factors, was constructed. This study reveals that most Chinese community-dwelling older adults welcome the emergence of new technologies. However, there was a significant difference in the adoption intention of gerontechnology in Chinese community-dwelling older adults based on their sociodemographic and psychographic characteristics. Our findings extend previous technology acceptance models and theories and contribute to the existing resource base.
目的:探索中国社区老年人采用老年技术的意愿及其影响因素。
方法:采用混合方法序贯解释设计和归纳法。在第 1 阶段,于 2018 年 8 月至 2019 年 12 月采用自拟问卷进行调查。多因素逻辑回归分析用于分析采用老年技术的意愿及其影响因素。在第 2 阶段,2020 年 5 月至 7 月,参与者完成了半结构化访谈,以探讨特定形式的老年技术(智能床垫)的采用意愿。
地点:中国重庆市三个区的 12 个社区。
对象:社区居住的老年人。
结果:共 1180 名老年人完成了定量研究,其中 2/3(68.7%)表示对老年技术有采用意愿。19 名参与者(10 名使用者和 9 名非使用者)完成了定性研究,共探讨了 4 个主题。通过对定性和定量数据的综合理解,构建了一个影响因素的概念模型,即预测因素、使能因素和需求因素。
结论:本研究表明,大多数中国社区居住的老年人欢迎新技术的出现。然而,中国社区居住的老年人在采用老年技术的意愿方面存在显著差异,这与他们的社会人口学和心理特征有关。本研究的结果扩展了以往的技术接受模型和理论,并为现有资源基础做出了贡献。
