Abstract

Despite mobile health services becoming a vital tool for improving accessibility and connectivity for older people, there is limited understanding of how they use mHealth services in China. This research hoped to determine the use of health services, health literacy, self-efficacy, and social adaptation among over 60-year-old people in China. Results showed that 48% of participants used mHealth services, and its use correlated with self-efficacy and social adaptation. Developing targeted interventions, including online health education programs, is crucial to address the digital divide and support ageing well.

摘要

尽管移动医疗服务已成为改善老年人可及性和连接性的重要工具，但对于它们在中国的使用情况，人们的了解有限。本研究旨在确定中国 60 岁以上人群对健康服务的使用、健康素养、自我效能感和社会适应性。结果显示，48%的参与者使用了移动医疗服务，其使用与自我效能感和社会适应性相关。制定有针对性的干预措施，包括在线健康教育计划，对于解决数字鸿沟和支持老年人健康至关重要。
