Abstract

Aims and objectives: The study's aim was two-fold: (1) to explore the experiences and perceptions of industry, academic, and research professionals concerning technologies used within aged care; and (2) to identify needs-led priorities for the future development and application of technologies within aged care.

Background: Global population ageing requires a recalibration of aged care policies, systems, and services to promote and support healthy ageing. It is expected that technology will play an important role in this regard. This study qualitatively assessed the landscape of technology use in aged care from the perspective of industry, academic, and research professionals.

Design: A purposefully designed cross-sectional survey collecting experiences, perspectives, and barriers about technology through open responses.

Methods: Using convenience sampling, thirty-five participants completed an online survey between April and October 2020. A descriptive qualitative content analysis approach was used to analyse the written responses. Reporting of findings followed the EQUATOR's Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist.

Results: Four themes were identified that characterised the use of technologies within aged care: (1) User Perceptions and Attitudes: wariness and reluctance to technology; (2) Systemic Issues within Aged Care: Under-resourced with opportunities for innovation; (3) Technology-Related Barriers: Equity, costs, privacy, integration, and interoperability and (4) Research Priorities: Co-design and integration of technology.

Conclusions: The existing technology does not meet the needs of older people, aged care personnel and the system in general, which prevents its successful implementation and uptake.

老年护理中的技术:对学术、研究和技术行业专业人士的定性调查。
目的和目的:本研究的目的有两个:(1)探讨业界、学术界和研究专业人士对老年护理技术使用的经验和看法;(2)确定以需求为导向的未来老年护理技术发展和应用的优先事项。背景:全球人口老龄化需要重新调整老年护理政策、系统和服务,以促进和支持健康老龄化。预计技术将在这方面发挥重要作用。本研究从产业、学术及研究专业人员的角度,定性评估科技在老年照护中的应用前景。设计:一项有目的设计的横断面调查,通过公开回应收集有关技术的经验、观点和障碍。方法:采用方便抽样的方法,于2020年4月至10月对35名参与者进行在线调查。采用描述性定性内容分析方法分析书面答复。调查结果的报告遵循赤道的报告定性研究清单标准。结果:确定了四个主题,表征了老年护理中技术的使用:(1)用户感知和态度:对技术的谨慎和不情愿;(2)老年护理的系统性问题:资源不足与创新机遇并存;(3)技术相关障碍:公平、成本、隐私、集成和互操作性;(4)研究重点:技术协同设计和集成。结论:现有技术不能满足老年人、老年护理人员和整个系统的需求,阻碍了其成功实施和吸收。
