Wellbeing, loneliness, health-related quality of life and perception of technology of older adults in Slovenian senior homes [Elektronski vir] : a cross-sectional studyLipovac, Dean ; Erce, MatejaBackground: Older adults can experience loneliness, low wellbeing, and poor health, while certain technologies could alleviate some of these issues. This paper presents findings from a study ... conducted in Slovenian senior homes, examining the wellbeing, loneliness, healthrelated quality of life, and perceptions of technology among older adults without significant cognitive issues. Methods: Older adults (n = 73) responded to questionnaires on wellbeing, loneliness, and health-related quality of life. They also provided their opinion on four different types of technology: a smartphone (SeniorsPhone) and television-based video calling system adapted to older adults (Daisy), a smartwatch (Fitbit), and an air quality sensor. Results: The results indicate that most examined older adults experience low or moderate levels of loneliness, and most are characterized by average or high levels of wellbeing. The participants also report no significant issues with self-care and accomplishing daily activities. However, more than half of the participants report experiencing some problems with pain/discomfort and mobility. Older adults generally trust evaluated technologies with their personal data, believe that the technologies provide reliable information, and perceive technologies as useful. Interestingly, older adults that reported higher levels of wellbeing and lower levels of loneliness tended to perceive the smartwatch as more usable. This suggests that at least for some technologies, the perception of usability depends on how people feel in general.Source: Open research Europe [Elektronski vir]. - ISSN 2732-5121 (Vol. 3, art. 195, 2023, str. 1-10)Type of material - e-article ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2023Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 176742659
