20.500.12556/DKUM-49610 Impact of computer training courses on reduction of loneliness of older people in Finland and Slovenia Previous research has shown loneliness as a threat for the quality of life of older peopleč therefore the goal of the intervention in a quasi-experimental study was to evaluate and discuss the self-reported level of loneliness of older people in Finland and Slovenia before and after a computer intervention.Intervention in a quasi-experimental study was conducted among 58older participants at the baseline (M = 72.4 years) and 45 older participants at the follow-up research study (M = 72.9 years). Inferential statistics showed a significant difference in the reduction of loneliness between the countries, and a decreased level of loneliness of older people after completing the computer training course. Although older people experience many age-related problems which may reduce their interest in learning information and communication technology (ICT) skills, it is important that they are computer-proficient, because computer engagement can reduce the level of loneliness of older people and in this way has a positive effect on their quality of life. older people loneliness computer training course socialization health and well-being starejši ljudje osamljenost računalniško usposabljanje socializacija zdravje v starosti dobro počutje true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2015-07-10 12:23:02 2015-07-10 12:23:02 2022-05-27 03:10:13 2019-07-10 21:33:30 2012 0 0 str. 1202-1212 iss. 4 Vol. 28 2012 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 613.98 22998789 1784228 10.1016/j.chb.2012.02.004 1873-7692 URN:SI:UM:DK:PE8ZVB6N http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563212000350 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=74169 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede 0 0 0
