Self-reported sensory impairment and social participation among Korean older adults: mediating roles of cognitive function and digital technology use.
Objectives: This study investigates the correlation between self-reported sensory impairment, cognitive function, digital technology use, and social participation among older adults in South Korea.
Method: Data from the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans, comprising a nationally representative sample of 7849 individuals aged 65 years or older, were analyzed. A serial mediation analysis (Model = 6) was conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.
Results: Following adjustment for covariates, cognitive function and digital technology use serially mediated the relationship between self-reported sensory impairment and social participation among older adults (B = -0.0020, SE = 0.0005, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [-0.0030, -0.0010]). Specifically, self-reported sensory impairment exhibited a negative correlation with cognitive function (B = -0.3277, SE = 0.0753, p < .001), which was positively associated with digital technology use (B = 0.0763, SE = 0.0056, p < .001), subsequently linking to enhanced social participation (B = 0.0784, SE = 0.0037, p < .001).
Conclusion: Through cross-sectional analysis, this study confirms that self-reported sensory impairment in older adults may precede cognitive decline, hindering digital technology use and reducing social participation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing cognitive decline, while age-friendly digital devices may alleviate cognitive burden and promote social engagement.
期刊介绍:
Aging & Mental Health provides a leading international forum for the rapidly expanding field which investigates the relationship between the aging process and mental health. The journal addresses the mental changes associated with normal and abnormal or pathological aging, as well as the psychological and psychiatric problems of the aging population. The journal also has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary and innovative approaches that explore new topics and methods.
Aging & Mental Health covers the biological, psychological and social aspects of aging as they relate to mental health. In particular it encourages an integrated approach for examining various biopsychosocial processes and etiological factors associated with psychological changes in the elderly. It also emphasizes the various strategies, therapies and services which may be directed at improving the mental health of the elderly and their families. In this way the journal promotes a strong alliance among the theoretical, experimental and applied sciences across a range of issues affecting mental health and aging. The emphasis of the journal is on rigorous quantitative, and qualitative, research and, high quality innovative studies on emerging topics.
