BACKGROUND
Older adults are becoming more accepting and interested in using digital technologies, but difficulties and barriers remain for accessing reliable health-related information. The purpose of this focused pilot intervention study was to: (1) understand older adults' firsthand experiences and challenges while using smart tablets post-COVID-19 pandemic, and (2) gather suggestions for age-appropriate training materials, preference of training materials, and resources to access reliable online health information.
METHODS
A focused pilot intervention study that involved training older adults to use smart tablets followed by focus group of a convenience sample of 13 older adults (65-85 years old; 91.6% female) on their experiences of using smart tablets.
RESULTS
Thematic analysis revealed three themes: tablets are convenient to access online information and older adults reported technical, security concerns, emotional and cognitive challenges regarding use of smart tablets. Older adults also requested one-on-one support, assistance, and topic specific learning for future training sessions.
CONCLUSIONS
Future studies should focus on providing detailed, clear instructions at an acceptable pace for older adults.
背景
老年人对使用数字技术越来越接受并感兴趣，但获取可靠的健康相关信息仍存在困难和障碍。这项重点试点干预研究的目的是：（1）了解老年人在新冠疫情后使用智能平板电脑时的亲身经历和挑战，以及（2）收集关于适合老年人的培训材料、培训材料偏好和获取可靠在线健康信息资源的建议。
方法
一项重点试点干预研究，包括培训老年人使用智能平板电脑，随后对13名老年人（65 - 85岁；91.6%为女性）的便利样本进行焦点小组讨论，了解他们使用智能平板电脑的经历。
结果
主题分析揭示了三个主题：平板电脑便于获取在线信息，老年人报告了在使用智能平板电脑方面存在技术、安全担忧、情感和认知挑战。老年人还要求在未来的培训课程中提供一对一的支持、协助和特定主题学习。
结论
未来的研究应专注于以老年人可接受的速度提供详细、清晰的指导。
