  2. Article ; Online: Subjektives Gefühl digitaler Ausgegrenztheit.

    Title translation Subjective feelings of digital exclusion.
    Abstract Background: Digital technologies play an important role in people's everyday lives. This applies not only to younger people but also increasingly more to older people. Nevertheless, older persons in particular use the latest technologies less frequently. For this reason, do older people feel particularly excluded compared to younger people? To answer this question, the perception of digital exclusion was measured based on a population survey of people aged 18 years and older.
    Material and methods: The data were collected with a survey (n = 1604) of Swiss individuals aged 18-98 years. The survey was conducted as a standardized online survey and was combined with an optional telephone survey.
    Results: According to the survey results, some people under and over 65 years of age currently feel socially excluded because they cannot always master current everyday technologies. Among the group aged 18-64 years old 3.6% feel a very strong sense of exclusion, and among the older group (65-98 years) 5.5%, which means that older persons tend to belong to the group of persons with very strong feelings of digital exclusion; however, the multivariate correlation analysis showed that the influence of age was levelled out by other variables (income and attitude toward technology).
    Conclusion: Although digital transformation is progressing there are still inequalities in technology use, which can manifest in feelings of exclusion. In addition to the question of which older individuals use or do not use technology, the issue of subjective feelings of exclusion should be given greater consideration in the future.

  3. Article: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Self-Perception of Aging Among Older Adults.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has created a pattern of physical distancing worldwide, particularly for adults aged 65+. Such distancing can evoke subjective feelings of negative self-perception of aging (SPA) among older adults, but how this pandemic has influenced such SPA is not yet known. This study, therefore, explored SPA at different time phases of the COVID-19 pandemic to explain the pandemic's impact on SPA among older adults. The analysis employed a sample of 1,990 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 to 95 (mean age = 72.74 years; 43% female) in Switzerland. Data collection from different older adults within one study occurred both before and after Switzerland's first confirmed COVID-19 case. The descriptive analysis revealed that negative SPA increased, and positive SPA decreased, after the Swiss government recommended physical distancing. After the Federal Council decided to ease these measures, negative SPA slightly decreased and positive SPA increased. According to the multivariate analysis, individuals interviewed after the lockdown were more likely to report greater levels of negative SPA and lower levels of positive SPA. Age, income, and living alone also correlated with SPA. The results suggest that the pandemic has affected older adults' subjective views of their own aging, and these findings help illustrate the pandemic's outcomes.

    Title translation Digital transformation in the households of older people.
    Abstract Background: Digital technologies play an important role in people's everyday lives and this applies not just to younger people but increasingly to older people. The study examined how the use of and attitudes towards such technology have changed over the last 10 years through a comparison of 3 cross-sectional population surveys.
    Material and methods: The data came from three Swiss surveys (2009: n = 1105; 2014: n = 1037; 2019: n = 1130) of people aged 65 years and over, each of which was conducted as a standardized telephone interview and combined with an optional written survey.
    Results: The use of both the internet and mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) increased from 2009 to 2019: in 2009, 37.8% of the respondents used the internet, rising to 74.2% in 2019; however, people over 80 years old used these technologies less frequently. Although more and different internet resources were being used in 2019 than in 2009, the reasons given for not using the internet were similar and included security concerns, claims that using the internet is too complicated and the belief that learning to use it is too difficult. There has also been little change in the attitudes toward technology and the factors explaining internet use.
    Conclusion: Even though the digital transformation is progressing, inequalities in the use of technology remain. Even when these are levelling out, new technologies will likely create new inequalities.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Empirical evidence suggests that the concept of "neighboring" (i.e., social contact and social support within a neighborhood) is related to between-person differences in well-being among older adults. However, little is known about the within-person differences in older adults' everyday lives, which limits the ecological validity of prior findings. This study examined within-person associations between neighboring and the existence of positive valence, loneliness, and attachment to one's neighborhood.
    Research design and methods: The sample consisted of 4,620 observations of 20 days, drawn from 77 adults aged between 61 and 90 years. A mobile application on a smartphone was used for data collection.
    Results: The results of the multilevel analysis suggest that daily contact with one's neighbors was not significantly associated with daily positive valence, but it was positively related to daily feelings of not being alone and daily attachment to one's neighborhood.
    Discussion and implications: The study makes noteworthy contributions to the field of gerontology by applying a micro-longitudinal research design to assess real-life within-person information.

    Abstract Introduction: This study examines the digital divide among older adults in Switzerland within the rapidly evolving digital environment. It investigates changes in internet usage among this population, focusing on the proportion of users, frequency, and the intensity of their internet usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: Drawing on Swiss data from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement (SHARE), conducted in 2021, the study analyzes a sample of 1,205 older adults.
    Results: The findings indicate a growing proportion of internet users over time. It also highlights that gender differences persist but are decreasing. Notably, around 9% of individuals in this study had never used the internet, while recent users exhibited high activity levels, spending an average of approximately two and a half hours online daily. The study identified age, education, employment, living arrangements, and attitudes toward technology as influential factors shaping internet usage among older adults. Importantly, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on internet adoption among this demographic.
    Discussion: These findings shed light on the complex dynamics that shape internet usage among older adults and underscore the need to promote digital inclusion and engagement within this population.

    Abstract Online health information seeking (OHIS) is understood by health care, health promotion, and disease prevention experts as a resource for healthy aging. It is particularly relevant for older adults since this population can benefit significantly from the accessibility and convenience of online health platforms and health information. Nevertheless, empirical findings regarding the acceptance, potentials, and barriers of OHIS among older adults are limited. This mini-review aims to explore the level of acceptance of OHIS, including passive reading of information and active interactions with peers, among the older population. Furthermore, it examines the potentials and barriers associated with such practices. The findings ultimately emphasize the evolving landscape of internet health information exploration among older adults and the potential advantages and challenges that may arise, especially in the context of active interactions with peers.
