Abstract

Purpose: To explore the experiences of low-income community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in using multi-technology.

Method: We conducted individual interviews with 14 low-income community-dwelling older adults with MCI aged ≥60 years who participated in a technology-based fall risk assessment study. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Two researchers worked together using thematic analysis.

Results: Five themes were generated: Satisfaction With Technology, Benefits of Using Technology, Challenges of Using Technology, Facilitators of Using Technology, and Recommendations for Other Older Adults. All participants acknowledged obtaining information about fall risk, physical activities, and balance performance.

Conclusion: Older adults with MCI were able to follow instructions by completing fall risk assessments. They found technology enjoyable and beneficial considering the tracking capacity and feedback obtained from the technology used. These were vital objective data that encouraged fall prevention efforts. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

在低收入社区居住的轻度认知障碍老年人中使用多种技术进行跌倒风险评估的经验。

目的：探讨低收入社区轻度认知障碍（MCI）老年人使用多种技术的经验：我们对 14 名年龄≥ 60 岁、居住在社区的低收入轻度认知障碍（MCI）老年人进行了个人访谈，他们参与了一项基于技术的跌倒风险评估研究。我们对访谈进行了录音、转录和编码。两名研究人员共同使用主题分析法进行分析：结果：产生了五个主题：结果：产生了五个主题：对技术的满意度、使用技术的好处、使用技术的挑战、使用技术的促进因素以及对其他老年人的建议。所有参与者都承认获得了有关跌倒风险、体育活动和平衡表现的信息：结论：患有 MCI 的老年人能够按照指示完成跌倒风险评估。考虑到跟踪能力和从所使用的技术中获得的反馈，他们认为技术是令人愉快和有益的。这些都是重要的客观数据，有助于预防跌倒。[老年护理学杂志，xx（x），xx-xx]。
