“…We also found that the reason for non-users of Facebook to reject all alternatives for accessing this SNS, are related with privacy issues and negative feelings about the way that people expose their lives. These findings support previous findings [9,15,24] regarding the use of Facebook by this population.…”

“…Research showed that the first approach excluded older adults' family and close friends which were the main reason for them to adopt SNS in the first place [15,16]. Therefore, recently several authors developed solutions based on existing SNSs which can be adapted to the older segment of the population: Tlatoque [9] was an aSNS (ambient SNS), that collected Facebook content and presented it to older adults. It gave support for interacting with SNS using different technologies: a digital frame and a multi-touch PC.…”

“…Examples are applications like PersonCard [21], Wayve [22] and Enmesh [29] or systems like Building Bridges [13]. Other example of the potential of Tablet devices for accessing features typically present in a SNS was Cornejo et al aSNS [9], which was built on top of Facebook and was also based on a multi-touch screen resembling a tablet. This last example, not only was an incentive for online social relationships but also led to an increase of in-person encounters.…”

“…However, a considerable number of older adults still do not adopt or make a limited use of this SNS. Main limitations are design complexity [9,15,20], privacy issues [9,15,16,24] and preconceptions about its use [9,15,20] and the inability to use and learn technology used for SNS access [23].…”

“…For instance, Cao et al [4] identified design implications for facilitating family communication when its members are located in different time zones. Baecker et al [2], Cornejo et al [7], Garattini et al [10], Judge et al [15], Lindley [18], Muñoz et al [20], and Rodríguez et al [25] have adopted a different approach to dial wit that challenge. They designed specific domestic media spaces where remote family members, particularly older adults, can connect with each other using video-mediated communication and others kinds of messaging mechanisms.…”

Abstract.Background: The rise of mobile Web-based technologies has diversified the mechanisms used by people to socialize, which results in issues in family communication. Among these concerns, the reluctance of older adults to use digital media may cause them social isolation, leading to negative effects in their physical and mental health. Objective: This paper aims to formalize a model to mediate asymmetries in crossgenerational communication and support the eInclusion of older adults. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews to the members of 20 crossgenerational families. Following the grounded theory approach, we identified emerging themes regarding asymmetries in family communication practices when older adults are involved. We then derived and formalized computer-based mediation strategies using a model-driven engineering approach. Results: We identified three main sources of asymmetries: (1) implicit family agreements in terms of social interaction, (2) capability and preferences for using particular media, and (3) unbalanced socio-affective coupling between the involved parties. The proposed model addresses these asymmetries and provides strategies to coordinate the communication effort of family members with their elders. Conclusions: By using the proposed model, designers of software that supports family communities can conceive effective mechanisms to coordinate and mediate social communication among cross-generational family members through digital means. This allows the elderly to show a better reaction to digital media, thus facilitating their acceptance and appropriation of information technologies.

How does chronic multimorbidity affect daily routines? An experience sampling study of community‐dwelling adults in Hong Kong

Limited by conventional data collection methods, it is unclear how community‐dwelling multimorbid people's daily routines are affected by their co‐occurring illnesses. This study investigated the differences in everyday life schedules between multimorbid and nonmultimorbid people. Three hundred community‐dwelling adults, representative of the Hong Kong Chinese population, provided real‐time self‐reports of daily routines over a 7‐day study period. Stratified by baseline multimorbidity status, we implemented generalized linear mixed models (binomial) for each of the four outcomes: meal, chores, conversation, and work/school, with time intervals as independent variable and potential confounders adjusted. The odds of engaging in these activities were compared between multimorbid and nonmultimorbid participants by time intervals. Significant differences were identified. Unlike nonmultimorbid participants, late evening (22:00–24:00) was estimated to be the most frequently observed meal time among multimorbid participants (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 8.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.59–26.01 vs. 14:00–16:00), who also did chores significantly earlier in the morning (AOR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.09–3.58 in 8:00–10:00 vs. 14:00–16:00). Conversations were significantly less likely among multimorbid participants throughout the day. Last, multimorbid participants seemed to have less typical working/schooling hours. Further studies are warranted to investigate how these disruptions may lead to lower levels of quality of life and poorer mental health.
