Intergerenational tensions in ICT adoption for independent and healthy ageing : preliminary insights from a value-focused thinking study in Poland and Sweden
- 2023

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Current literature highlights the importance of understanding intergenerational tensions that arise in the context of implementation of ICT for independent and healthy ageing. The current study aims to explore tensions between value-based objectives emphasized by seniors and younger adults in the context of ICT for independent and healthy ageing in Poland and Sweden. Value-based objectives were identified by applying the value-focused thinking approach. By comparing the identified objectives between young adults and seniors, we found several significant tensions, both in Poland and Sweden. In particular, we found that young adults might perceive seniors as a fragile and passive group, which clashes with how seniors perceive themselves. The analysis also revealed several areas of agreement, e.g. with Polish young and senior respondents unanimously emphasizing improvement of seniors’ health condition and ICT usefulness for families, and Swedes agreeing upon the importance of seniors’ autonomy, social contact, and equal access to digital solutions.

Investigating the Role of Gender in Active and Healthy Ageing Supported by ICT : Preliminary Insights from Polish and Swedish Older Adults
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The current paper aims to investigate the role of gender in the adoption and use of ICT for an active and healthy ageing in the context of diverse socioeconomic considerations. The investigation has been conducted among seniors in Poland and Sweden, countries experiencing significant socioeconomic differences. The adopted research approach is based on Value-Focused Thinking (VFT). The preliminary findings suggest that the most significant gender-related differences in the perception of values refer to minimizing loneliness and maximizing ICT solution alignment with seniors’ needs. The proposed avenues for future research include an investigation into the role of technology ambassadors played by women.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to maximize sustainability of digital services for seniors, the opinions of the main stakeholders and the broader context of independent and healthy ageing should be taken into consideration. Therefore, we applied a Value-focused thinking (VFT) approach to understand values held by seniors in the context of implementation of ICT for independent and healthy ageing. To this end, we conducted interviews with seniors in Poland and Sweden, which are countries with very diverse approaches to digital care services (DCS). Based on the interviews with seniors, we discovered 7 common fundamental objectives and 11 means objectives supporting the fundamental goals with varying understanding depending on a country, which allowed us to discuss the drivers for acceptance and use of DCS for seniors.
