Gliederung

Text

Background and Purpose: Demographic change and constants shortages in the professional healthcare system result in increasing inappropriate healthcare services, especially for elderly people living in the countryside [1]. Therefore, new concepts for health nursing are necessary. In this context the Project “Dorfgemeinschaft 2.0” focusses on the human-technology-interaction and the sensitive technical approaches in order to design an individual (digital) education concept; “The Digital Nurse”. Because of their duties and responsibilities academic nurses provide and implement information and education programmes which are appropriate to age (>65) [2]. The aim is to design an education concept which positively load subjective expectations in technology related situations.

Methods: The Mixed-Method approach comprises 3 workshops conducted with citizens in order to identify the needs relating to health, technology and education. A broadly oriented expert group recommended the outcomes, which were also validated at a nursing science congress. Additional data will be collected from international systematic research literature about “Nursing Informatics” and “professional competences”. Furthermore, narratives interviews with elderly people about their “Tech-Stories”, to specify their experiences and their perceptions of technology will be conducted.

Results: The citizens have a pragmatic approach to technology, as they perceive technology as a support and want to use it on their own and adopted to their needs. On the contrary, they fear increasing anonymization due to technology. Furthermore, there seems to be a lack of information’s about the benefit and handling of technology.

Conclusions: It is valid to say, that elderly people needs sensitization and slow introduction to technology, therefore will be conditions for potential solutions and utilisation possibilities.
