“…The reasons for this are found in the method of sampling, where the characteristics of the place of residence, the achieved level of mental and physical health and the level of education were considered differently. The results of this research also showed that more frequent use of the Internet is more common among older population with a higher level of education and their lower chronological and subjective age, as well as with better mental and physical health [12].…”

Information and communication technologies have become an integral factor in the daily lives of people over the last decade. Although their usage allows significant advantages, there are still a lot of people in the world who do not use such technologies. In industrialized countries, the reason for this is not in economic factors, but age seems to be a significant determinant of the digital divide. Recently, however, the number of older adults taking advantages of the Internet has been growing. Numerous authors state that a key aspect of successful aging is to remain actively involved in life in old age. In this regard, it is pointed out that online communication and new media present many new opportunities and challenges for the social inclusion of older people. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes and opinions of older people towards the use of the Internet and the reasons for its use. The research was conducted using the 2019 survey method on a sample of 240 people over the age of 65 residing in the Šibenik-Knin County in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the survey show that, although more than half of the respondents have an Internet connection, only a fifth own a computer or a laptop. One third of the respondents uses the Internet every day, and most of them did not attend a course to help them use it. They point out that they easily mastered the rules of the network, in which their family members gave them a support and help. Respondents most often search the Internet for the purpose of informing, especially about daily events, then for the entertainment, cultural education and communication with others. More than half of them have a profile on social networks, mostly on Facebook. Despite all this, they do not emphasize the great impact of the Internet on their lives, and believe that the Internet often takes up a lot of free time. Also, more than half of the surveyed population does not use the Internet because they are not interested in it, do not have the financial means to buy a computer. The reason is that they are suspicion of endangering their own security and privacy. However, those not using the Internet state that their accessing to information is not limited because of that. They also point out that the only motivation for starting using the Internet would be the necessity of communicating with their families.

There are numerous risk/protective factors for developing mental disorders in older people. This study examined the contribution of lifestyle (physical activity, sedentary behavior, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption) and psychosocial resources (optimism, resilience, social support, and frequency of social contacts) to older people’s mental health. We conducted the study on a community-dwelling sample of 780 persons (58% women) aged 65–98 from different geographical regions of the Republic of Croatia. We administered the questionnaires, including relevant instruments, individually. We found no differences in mental health regarding smoking habits. On the other hand, individuals who consumed alcohol had better mental health than those who did not drink alcohol, primarily because of gender differences in alcohol consumption and mental health. Physical activity was significantly positively associated with mental health. The regression analysis results showed that psychological resources (optimism and resilience) were significantly better predictors of mental health than lifestyle factors and social resources. The study’s results emphasize the importance of psychological resources as protective factors for older people’s mental health.

Uvod i cilj: Starenje je prirodan proces koji ovisi o mnogo faktora. Smatra se da osoba uspješno stari ako uz sveprisutnu razvijenost tjelesnih i mentalnih sposobnosti nema komorbiditeta. Cilj je rada istražiti percepciju starosti i značajke kvalitetnog starenja te načine ispunjavanja slobodnog vremena služenjem i primjenom e-tehnologije sudionika ovog istraživanja, a koji nisu smješteni u sustav institucijskog zbrinjavanja. Metode: U svrhu prikupljanja podataka korišten je anketni upitnik s 20 tvrdnji o uspješnom starenju preuzetih od autorice Elizabeth A. Phelan te dodatna pitanja izrađena za potrebe istraživanja. Anketa je provedena putem Google Docs obrasca tijekom lipnja i srpnja 2020. godine. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 109 sudionika, a pristigli podaci obrađeni su deskriptivnim i inferencijalnim stati- stičkim metodama. Rezultati: Provedeno istraživanje pokazalo je da je sudionicima najmanje važna duljina životnog vijeka. Kao prediktor uspješnog starenja ističe se zadovoljstvo vlastitim životom i samostalnost te cjeloživotno učenje. Starenjem se povećava negativna percepcija o uspješnom starenju. Isto tako, u istraživanju je identificirano da se odrasle osobe najviše koriste internetom kako bi komunicirale s bliskim ljudima te ga u pravilu koriste svakodnevno pomoću mobitela, tableta, laptopa ili stolnog računala. Ovim je istraživanjem dobiven uvid u način provedbe slobodnog vremena u odraslih osoba te osoba starije životne dobi, ali i u njihovu percepciju uspješnog starenja. Rasprava sa zaključkom: Razvoj svijesti o važnosti uspješnog starenja posta- je sve veća. Zdravstveni djelatnici, a posebice medicinske sestre, vlastitom percepcijom i edukacijom cjelokupne zajednice kvalitetu života i uspješno starenje svakog pojedinca mogu podići na višu razinu. S obzirom na neprestanu digitalizaciju i tehnološki razvoj, sve više odraslih osoba kao i osoba starije životne dobi češće će se koristiti internetom.
