Title

Use of Information and Communication Technologies by Older People with Cognitive Impairments

Authors

Abstract

Driven by both classical theories on implementation of technology and erotological theories on social and emotional aging, and seek to better understand challenges and gains in the use of ICT among older people with cognitive impairing. It obtained a comprehensive picture of the role of ICTs in their everyday lives through qualitative interviews (N 35) within this community, as well as significant network members. First, finding was that older people with cognitive impairments perceive ICTs as useful when they contribute in terms of relationships, hobbies or daily activities to satisfying social and emotional needs. Secondly, ICT use among our group is determined jointly by perceived utility (PU) and perceived user-friendliness (PEU), with PU motivating individuals to increase PEU. Third, in encouraging and discouraging the use of ICT, the social network plays an important role: providing assistance, taking the first step, restricting access or indirect use. The latter refers to shared use, where other people operate the devices. Fourthly, we point out the importance of voluntary use of ICT: some participants have been so restricted in their use of ICT by others that this has reduced their perception of control.

Key Words

ICT adoption, Social and emotional ageing, Cognitive impairments, Informal care.
