Повний текст джерелаDet finns ett flertal uttryck som beskriver användandet av informations- och kommunikationsteknologiska hjälpmedel men det som genomgående använts i denna licentiatuppsats är ATS. Ett uttryck som vi anser väl beskriver olika teknologiska hjälpmedel. Därför kommer ATS även att användas i den svenska sammanfattningen. Värderingar inom god vård av äldre har förändrats och utvecklats under det senaste århundradet i takt med sociopolitiska förändringar. God vård handlar om värdig vård där grundläggande begrepp som värdighet utgör basen för hur vården skall utformas. Värdighet innebär att människan har en absolut värdighet och oberoende på vilket sätt eller var vården ges bör detta vara ett signum för vården. Vård av äldre på institution har alltmer ersatts av vård i hemmet. Detta underlättas till stor del av att ATS alltmer används för att stödja och underlätta boende i hemmet. Forskning som beskriver värderingar om god vård finns men eftersom värderingarna förändras över tid är det av stort värde att kontinuerligt kartlägga dessa värderingar. Det övergripande syftet med denna licentiatuppsats var att beskriva äldre personers föreställningar om god vård och användande av ATS i händelse av vård. Licentiatuppsatsen består av två delstudier, delstudie I vars syfte var att beskriva äldre personers förställning av god vård och delstudie II, vars syfte var att beskriva äldre personers föreställning om användande av ATS i vård. I studierna ingår tolv par. Kriterier för att kunna delta i studierna var att alla deltagarna var > 70 år, etablerad pensionär, sammanboende i minst 5 år och inte någon form av teknisk support som exempelvis alarm eller annat beviljat bistånd. Den yngsta var 70 år och den äldste deltagaren var 83 år. Kvalitativa individuella forskningsintervjuer har använts som datainsamlingsmetod. För att få fram deltagarnas föreställningar om god vård och användande av ATS användes en vinjett med olika scenarier som alltmer komplicerades. Frågorna ställdes utifrån två olika perspektiv, eget perspektiv och partnerns perspektiv. Deltagarna ombads reflektera över dessa scenarier och besvara de frågor som följde. Intervjuerna spelades in på band och skrevs därefter ut ordagrant. Utifrån syftet användes en kvalitativ tematisk innehållsanalys för att analysera intervjuerna. Resultatet visar att värderingarna förändras beroende vilken livssituation man befinner sig i. Så länge som informanterna själv kunde bestämma över sitt liv, hade kontroll över tillvaron beskrevs hemmet som en självklarhet att bo kvar i även om man var i behov av viss assistans för att klara den personliga hygienen. En mycket viktig förutsättning var också att det fanns en frisk partner i hemmet. Tillsammans med partner uttryckte informanterna att det fanns möjlighet att klara av oväntade, nya situationer. Tilliten till den långvariga relationen utgjorde den självklara bas där yttre omständigheter som sjukdomar och åldrande kunde hanteras och uthärdas. När deltagarna reflekterade över att vara totalt beroende av vård ändrades deras föreställning om att få vård i hemmet. Av hänsyn till partners hälsa och rätt till ett eget liv menade de allra flesta att det var fel att belasta partnern. Partnern skall inte vårda den som är sjuk, det poängterades att det var viktigt att bibehålla den äktenskapliga relationen. I dessa scenarier valde deltagarna att få vård på institution där det fanns välutbildad personal. Föreställningar om användande av ATS visade på stor variation beroende på egen förmåga och behovet av vård. Vid ett ringa behov av vård värderades användande av ATS som en tillgång. Samtliga deltagare beskrev många positiva effekter med den nya teknologin, exempelvis kunde det innebära att man kunde bo kvar hemma betydligt längre och även känna trygghet eftersom användande av ATS innebär att man kände sig trygg. Med ett alltmer ökat beroende av vård uttrycktes osäkerhet om vilka konsekvenser användande av ATS kunde medföra. Även här nämndes partners närvaro som en viktig förutsättning för att man skulle kunna båda lära sig men även kunna känna tillit till ATS. Totalt beroende av vård och ingen partner i hemmet uppfattades användande av ATS som ett hot. Att i en sådan situation använda ATS för vård i hemmet väckte både rädsla och förtvivlan. Det fanns en genomgående överensstämmelse om att användande av ATS aldrig kan ersätta det mänskliga mötet. Ensamhet, isolering and osäkerhet var uttryck som ofta återkom när föreställningarna om god vård och ATS diskuterades. Speciellt när behovet av vård var totalt och ingen partner längre fanns i hemmet. I de situationerna var deltagarnas behov av att bli sedd och berörd det som var det allra viktigaste. Att bli behandlad med värdighet poängterades ofta, en önskan om att vårdpersonalen förutom tekniskt kunnande även har kunskap som medkänsla och respekt.

Повний текст джерелаAssistive technology may delay cognitively impaired elders’ need for long-term institutionalization, and the promote independence. Its use is on the rise, yet the gap between the needs of the cognitive impaired elderly and what developers of the assistive technologies design, manufacture, and implement, remains to be filled. Using Inayatullah’s 6-pillar approach, as the guide to the future of assistive technology, the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how assistive technologies may fulfill the daily functional needs of the cognitively impaired elderly with Alzheimer’s or other dementia by 2037. Data were collected from a focus group of 10 seniors at a senior center in a large mid-Atlantic city, as well as survey data from with 5 family members of the cognitively impaired elderly and 16 technology developers from an engineering society. These data were coded according to the thematic content analysis and causal layered analysis. The future triangle analysis served as a second layer of analysis. Findings indicated that the most desirable outcome for 2037 is that of the “happy retiree,” characterized by flourishing cultural and financial opportunities, and the least desirable is that of the “struggling pensioner” characterized by monetary gains of the social elite at the expense of the poor and working class. The most expected outcome, though, is the “caring robot” that is characterized by the use of technology and artificial intelligence to promote equitable social and health care benefits to aging citizens. Positive social change may be achieved through recommendations to state, local, and national policy makers that support the improvement in the elders' well-being, the delay of hospitalization, and greater support for the duties of family members, and greater caretaker independence.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: The diagnosis dementia exists all over the world and the occurrence is expected to rise in the future, as the life span increases. Dementia is a diagnosis that includes different symptoms. Symptoms occurrences is associated with diseases or damages in different parts of the brain and the affected can experience difficulties with handling their existence. Some of the symptoms of dementia can be forgetfulness, difficulties with physics and motor skills, difficulties in finding their way, restlessness and irritability. Nurses shall be able to work alone or with others to assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate the nursing work. The development of technology in health care settings introduces nurses to new demands and tasks. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe nurses’ experiences with assistive technology when caring for people with dementia. Method: Descriptive literature study using qualitative articles. A total of 11 articles was included. The database MEDLINE through PubMed was used when searching for articles. Main results: Nurses experiences with assistive technology was both positive and negative. It was crucial that all the professions were working together with routines for the implementation and application of assistive technology. Knowledge of the technology and a person-centered approach was a key-point in the work with assistive technology. The nurses experiences showed that the ethics was an important subject to consider when talking about and using the technology. Conclusion: Routines, teamwork, knowledge and education is the foundation of quality assured care with assistive technology. The technical development is constantly moving forward and technology in health care is something every nurse is eventually going to face. That is why it is important to take care of the existing experiences so that the nursing profession and work can grow alongside the technology.

The change of social environment had great influence on both families and society. Due to the birth rate declination and the approach of aging society, it gave different generations more chances to know each other better. In reality, the aged rarely had chances to interact with other generations. First, this project concluded the demand of the aged from the existing theory and social phenomenon. Next, with U-E learning system, it also analyzed the market trend of related industries and the products we had seen or had used so far. Then it showed that the products could be better-developed after the analysis of comparing the market supply with the market demand. The interactive education assistive technology devices for the aged we had nowadays are skilled games which were also combined with adult rules. With different cases, it showed that the interaction between humans is one of the design elements. The features are as followings: 1. The bonus of the significance in human nature: Human cooperation leads to social communication, which enhances the group identity and interworks the sense of accomplishment and co-identity. Besides, instant face-to-face involvement is stronger and more various than other forms of interaction. 2. Freedom of creativity: To provide user create elements freely and the importance of rule making. 3. Rule- making: The interaction itself, in some degree, is based on rule making. Sometimes it conflicts with the creativity, and it must be handled with care. 4. Unpredictability: The influence on interest, if we extend this item, it relatively affects the playable degree. 5. Try and explore: Try and explore the regularity of the process to increase interaction and playable degree. After analyzed the existing design strategy, it found that the demand was rarely reflected on the design process and strategy. Therefore, we should put priority on these demands while designing the interactive education assistive technology devices. Furthermore, it also provided some suggestion about the design process to researchers who were going to design new devices for the aged in the future.

According to United Nations ' Declaration of disability affirmative action in 1993, which mentioned that “In technological service, making people to get the assistive technology devices they need is important. Including getting the information and service about assistive technology devices, relevant subsidies from government, repair problems, as well as aids to assess suitability. In this study, home care services started to investigate the case in the main home environment, the interaction between daily activities and assistive devices, coupled with the quality of service analysis, is intended to meet the service quality improvement, aids the development of more effective, higher utilization of aids effect. Most important concept in this study want to emphasize “What assistive device represent is not only products but one should be considered in service system. The studying process starts with using SERVQUAL to estimate the quality of home care service. After getting the Person-centred data as main sources of demand, analyzing with IPA method and HAAT model. Furthermore the information from literature, expert interview will be a derivation mechanism to analyze the needs of the future health of assistive technology products. SERVQUAL questionnaire designed using the original 22 questions, applying to home services, and via expert review and reliability analysis, the questions is cut it down to 19 items. Study subjects are choosing who accepting the home care service and have used assistive devices from the welfare institution engaged in home care service, called Taichung Q uan-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation, and finally collected 54 elder over 60 years old as sample. The results show that the propositions in this study is all correct. The relationship between home care service quality and assistive device needs is opposite. While the physiological deterioration conditions and home environment safe is subject to the premise and aids can be a positive relationship between the assistive devices demand.

With the rapid growth of the global population of aging population, Taiwan has officially entered an aging society. In addition, under the limited medical resources and the rise of the Chinese people's self-healthy health care culture, the Chinese people no longer rely on professional medical personnel for self-health management. With the civilization and progress of science and technology, wearable products have rapidly become the mainstream of self-medical care for middle-aged and older ethnic groups. In the aging society of advanced technology and civilization, it is necessary to understand the adaptation and acceptance of new technology products by middle-aged and older people. In view of this, this study is based on the UTAUT and incorporates the " Health Cognition " as an indepandant variable to construct an extended technology acceptance model and a questionnaire survey method was used to collect a total of 326 valid questionnaires for the domestic middle-aged and senior citizens over 45 years old, adopting a structural equation model (SEM) to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis;to explore the acceptance of wearable devices for the medical care of middle-aged and older ethnic groups. The results of the study show that " Health Cognition " has a positive effect on "Behavioral Intention"; "Behavioral Intention" has a positive effect on "Use Behavior"; "Social Influence" has a positive effect on "Behavioral Intention" and "Use Behavior" through mediating effects. In addition, the adjustment variable "experience" has a regulating effect on " facilitating conditions".

Повний текст джерелаBackground: With the expected increase in the numbers of persons with dementia, providing timely, adequate, and affordable care and support is challenging. Assistive and health technologies may be a valuable contribution in dementia care, but new challenges may emerge. Objective: The aim of our study was to review the state of the art of technologies for persons with dementia regarding issues on development, usability, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, deployment, and ethics in 3 fields of application of technologies: (1) support with managing everyday life, (2) support with participating in pleasurable and meaningful activities, and (3) support with dementia health and social care provision. The study also aimed to identify gaps in the evidence and challenges for future research. Methods: Reviews of literature and expert opinions were used in our study. Literature searches were conducted on usability, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, and ethics using PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases with no time limit. Selection criteria in our selected technology fields were reviews in English for community-dwelling persons with dementia. Regarding deployment issues, searches were done in Health Technology Assessment databases. Results: According to our results, persons with dementia want to be included in the development of technologies; there is little research on the usability of assistive technologies; various benefits are reported but are mainly based on low-quality studies; barriers to deployment of technologies in dementia care were identified, and ethical issues were raised by researchers but often not studied. Many challenges remain such as including the target group more often in development, performing more high-quality studies on usability and effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, creating and having access to high-quality datasets on existing technologies to enable adequate deployment of technologies in dementia care, and ensuring that ethical issues are considered an important topic for researchers to include in their evaluation of assistive technologies. Conclusions: Based on these findings, various actions are recommended for development, usability, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, deployment, and ethics of assistive and health technologies across Europe. These include avoiding replication of technology development that is unhelpful or ineffective and focusing on how technologies succeed in addressing individual needs of persons with dementia. Furthermore, it is suggested to include these recommendations in national and international calls for funding and assistive technology research programs. Finally, practitioners, policy makers, care insurers, and care providers should work together with technology enterprises and researchers to prepare strategies for the implementation of assistive technologies in different care settings. This may help future generations of persons with dementia to utilize available and affordable technologies and, ultimately, to benefit from them.

Background: Increasing literature indicated that the usage of information computer technology has positive results in decreasing older adults’ isolation and increasing the quality of life along with psychological well-being. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of ICT (Information and Computer Technology) for older adults living in long-term care facility. Objective: This study evaluated the extent to which quality of life, social support and psychological well-being changed for participants receiving ICT intervention. Methods: This study was conducted a quasi-experimental research design using ICT teaching intervention to 54 institutionalized residents 50 years and older, able to comply, clear consciousness and not agitated from three comparable long-term care facilities located in Southern Taiwan. This research assessment constituted randomizing three long-term care facilities into groups. Group 1 recruited 19 participants and received communication technology instructional training using the program Line, teaching them how to make video phone calls, send out text messages with attached emoticon stickers. Group 2 had 18 participants and received multi-media instructional training using the program YouTube, teaching how to search for their favorite karaoke song, news or television soap opera then how to view them. Group 3 consisted of 17 participants recruited as an observation group with usual care. Groups using Line and YouTube received intervention instructions once a week for 90 minutes each group, teaching and twice a week for 20-30 minutes/per person one on one tutorship for four weeks. Instructional sessions included visual demonstrations with hands on intervention where needed. The participants were evaluated on the measures of health-related factors such as, quality of life, well-being, social support, depression CES-D, cognitive functioning SPMSQ, physical functioning ADL and IADL at pre- and post-interventions along with post-test satisfaction survey and an open questionnaire. SPSS vision 23 was selected to conduct Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whiney test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks for descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Results: Enrolled were 57 participants, three participants dropped out (Completed rate 94.74%). The remaining 54 participants who completed the study had a mean age of 73 years (SD=11.4), 50% were male, 70.4% had below elementary school education, 53.7% were the average financial status, 87% never obtained any computer training, the average length of stay in a long term care facility was 36.2%, the average ADL Score was 40.2, IADL Score was 6.6, cognitive score was 9.6, the average chronic disease count was 2.3, diabetes had the highest incident rate of 44.4%, the second was hypertension 16.7% and 61% had an average self-rate health status. Comparing the Kruskal Wallis test of the three groups data, the YouTube group was rated as the most significant on the QOL SF12 in physical component summary (PCS, P=.002), mental component summary (MCS, P=.000), social support in health care worker related (P=.002), satisfaction in social support (P=.008), happiness (P=.033), along with depression CES-D (P=.000) were illustrated significant positive changes. Mann-Whiney test post hoc at pre- and post-test changes revealed positive increasing in YouTube 〉 Line 〉 Usual Care. Happiness and Quality of life along with psychological well-being were significant improving the Information Computer Technology usage among residents living in long-term care facilities. Especially searching a reminiscence song using YouTube as a karaoke sing along. Conclusion: The communication application Line was not as significant as the entertainment application YouTube among long-term care residents. However, Line is positively increasing in health related quality of life in mental component summary (MCS), social support in family/friend related and psychological well-being.
