Abstract

PurposeAmbient-assisted living (AAL) is one solution to the challenges of healthcare systems in an aging population. Using the “ecosystem adoption of practices over time” (EAPT) as a theoretical lens, this study explores and describes three elements of AAL adoption: (1) the AAL practices in which the technology is embedded (i.e. object of adoption), (2) the older adult's adoption ecosystem (i.e. subject of adoption) and (3) the change of adoption practices over time (i.e. temporality of adoption).Design/methodology/approachQualitative interviews with three actor groups in the ecosystem: clients, relatives and home nurses.FindingsThe study identifies six categories of AAL practices. Clients, relatives and nurses interact and integrate their resources in carrying out these practices. Some of the practices have developed, or are expected to develop, over time.Originality/valueThe study applies a novel theoretical perspective on how AAL technology is embedded in practices performed by different actors in the adoption ecosystem. This broadens the conceptualization of what is being adopted compared to traditional adoption research.
采用环境辅助生活:实践、生态系统和时间性的相关性
目的环境辅助生活(AAL)是解决人口老龄化医疗系统挑战的一种解决方案。本研究以“随时间推移的生态系统采用实践”(EAPT)为理论视角,探讨并描述了AAL采用的三个要素:(1)嵌入技术的AAL实践(即采用对象),(2)老年人的收养生态系统(即采用主体)和(3)收养实践随时间的变化(即采用的时间性)。设计/方法/方法对生态系统中的三个行动者群体进行定性访谈:客户、亲属和家庭护士。该研究确定了AAL实践的六类。客户、亲属和护士在实施这些做法时相互作用并整合他们的资源。随着时间的推移,一些实践已经发展起来,或者有望发展起来。原创性/价值本研究运用了一种新颖的理论视角来研究AAL技术如何嵌入到采用生态系统中不同参与者所执行的实践中。与传统的收养研究相比,这拓宽了被收养对象的概念。
