  • Virtual environment can ease the challenges of LGBTQ+ older adults [Elektronski vir] : literature review
    Nedeljko, Mihael
    LGBTQ+ older adults make up a unique and growing subgroup of the ageing population and are a very heterogeneous group with specific needs. The purpose of the literature review is to determine what ... needs and challenges LGBTQ+ older adults face and what their quality of life is. The integrative review method of scientific literature in English was used. The selection of articles was made according to the following inclusion criteria: accessibility, scientificity, content relevance and, topicality. After the selection, a qualitative content analysis was applied to the data, from which we gained an insight into the needs and challenges of LGBTQ+ older adults. Three content categories were identified: health status, discrimination and stigma towards LGBTQ+ older adults, and staff working with LGBTQ+ older adults. Research on LGBTQ+ older adults has been in the spotlight for the past few years, mostly in the United States of America. A dedicated virtual space and/or online community can overcome some of the barriers that LGBTQ+ older adults face, reducing social isolation and feelings of loneliness while providing a sense of community.
