摘要

COVID-19 大流行于 2020 年初爆发。瑞士联邦委员会于 2020 年 3 月实施了半封锁措施,要求人们,尤其是老年人,待在家里以限制疾病的传播,并使用数字工具来维持他们的社会关系和活动。本研究探究了面临不稳定状况的老年人是如何体验这些限制的,数字工具在这种情况下是如何发挥作用的,以及在后疫情时代可以吸取哪些经验教训。我们对居住在瑞士山区农村的 66 至 90 岁的老年人进行了半结构化电话访谈。我们随后对所获得的数据进行了专题分析。结果显示,受访者在半封闭期间经历了年龄歧视,并表示使用数字工具保持在线社交联系的机会有限或根本不存在。这种困境增加了他们的孤独感,并加剧了他们被外界排斥的感觉。这些观察结果表明,有必要加强对老年人(包括社会和物质资源有限的个人)的非老龄化社会支持。我们主张在后大流行病时代采取创新举措,更好地将岌岌可危的老年人纳入我们的地方和社区。

Ageism and the digital divide in Switzerland during COVID-19: Lessons for the post-pandemic world

The COVID-19 pandemic erupted in early 2020. The Swiss Federal Council implemented a semi-lockdown in March 2020, asking people, particularly older adults, to stay at home to limit the transmission of the disease and to use digital tools to maintain their social relations and activities. This study inquired how older adults confronting precarity experienced these restrictions, how digital tools functioned in this context, and what learning could therefore be imbibed for the post-pandemic era. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with adults aged between 66 and 90 years living in a rural and mountainous Swiss region. The obtained data were subsequently thematically analyzed. The results revealed that the respondents experienced ageism during the semi-lockdown and reported limited or non-existent opportunities to use digital tools to maintain online social contact. This predicament increased their sense of loneliness and amplified their feelings of rejection by the outside world. These observations elucidate the need for the enhancement of non-ageist social support for older people, including individuals with limited social and material resources. We advocate the adoption of innovative initiatives in the post-pandemic era to better include precarious older people in our localities and neighborhoods.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aging Studies features scholarly papers offering new interpretations that challenge existing theory and empirical work. Articles need not deal with the field of aging as a whole, but with any defensibly relevant topic pertinent to the aging experience and related to the broad concerns and subject matter of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. The journal emphasizes innovations and critique - new directions in general - regardless of theoretical or methodological orientation or academic discipline. Critical, empirical, or theoretical contributions are welcome.
