Abstract

Background

Digital health tools can significantly contribute to the continuum of care and support for persons with their self-management role. Despite the increasing adoption of digital health tools, little is known about the uptake and comfort of use among older persons.

Methods

A mixed methods design was used to assess the feasibility and utility of the check-up (CU), a self-administered digital health assessment for older persons. For the older person, qualitative interviews and de-identified CU assessment data were collected. A focus group was held to gain the health provider perspective.

Results

A total of 32 online CU assessments were completed, and 17 individuals participated in interviews. Three main themes were identified: digital literacy and accessibility, communication of risk and role within the circle of care.

Conclusion

Self-administered digital assessments are feasible for older adults. Strategies for adoption should focus on accessibility and collaboration with health professionals to maximise utility and understanding of assessment results.

老年人风险交流的数字自控体检评估和评价。

背景：数字健康工具可以极大地促进持续护理，并支持老年人发挥自我管理的作用。尽管数字健康工具的采用率越来越高，但人们对老年人的接受程度和使用舒适度却知之甚少：方法：采用混合方法设计，评估老年人自我管理数字健康评估工具 "体检"（CU）的可行性和实用性。针对老年人，收集了定性访谈和去标识化的 CU 评估数据。此外，还举行了一次焦点小组会议，以了解医疗服务提供者的观点：共完成了 32 项在线 CU 评估，17 人参加了访谈。确定了三大主题：数字扫盲和可及性、风险沟通和在护理圈中的角色：结论：自我管理的数字评估对老年人来说是可行的。采用策略应侧重于可访问性和与医疗专业人员的合作，以最大限度地提高实用性和对评估结果的理解。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Older People Nursing welcomes scholarly papers on all aspects of older people nursing including research, practice, education, management, and policy. We publish manuscripts that further scholarly inquiry and improve practice through innovation and creativity in all aspects of gerontological nursing. We encourage submission of integrative and systematic reviews; original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; secondary analyses of existing data; historical works; theoretical and conceptual analyses; evidence based practice projects and other practice improvement reports; and policy analyses. All submissions must reflect consideration of IJOPN''s international readership and include explicit perspective on gerontological nursing. We particularly welcome submissions from regions of the world underrepresented in the gerontological nursing literature and from settings and situations not typically addressed in that literature. Editorial perspectives are published in each issue. Editorial perspectives are submitted by invitation only.
