The objective of this study is to explore perspectives on AT use among home-dwelling older adults with or without cognitive impairment. This study combines findings from a cross-sectional study with a questionnaire package (n = 83) and from qualitative individual interviews (n = 7) and is part of a larger study, the Assisted Living Project. Combining methods promotes complementary inquiries into a phenomenon. The participants already use ATs: TVs, social alarms, mobile phones, stove timers, electronic medical dispensers, PCs and tablet computers. They were both optimistic and skeptical of AT, and expressed different perspectives and expressed different perspectives on ATs in relation to usability, privacy and fear of losing personal face-to-face care. This study reveals that older adults' perspectives on AT are multifaceted and complex, and can partly be explained by the interacting factors in the HAAT model: person, technology, environment, and context. Further exploration in relation to older adults with health challenges, as well as ethical perspectives on AT implementation, is required for this group. The Norwegian Research Council, Number 47996, funds the Assisted Living Project (ALP). The study was useful in order to inform the health care services about older adults "perspectives on assistive technology". This study reveals the complexity of understanding perspectives towards and the use of assistive technology among older adults with or without cognitive impairment. This study contributes to the understanding of the interactions between the four components: humans, activities, technology and the context. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
