Finanzielle Hilfen für Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen sind daher vor allem für finanziell schwächer aufgestellte Selbsthilfegruppen/ organisationen notwendig.…”

These differences in digitalization levels may be linked to the organizational characteristics described above, as well as additional factors such as the digital literacy of PO leadership and members and their demographic profile [14]. However, despite the significant role of POs as supporters and advocates, we found no comprehensive reviews synthesizing the existing research literature on their digitalization efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
