“…This is evidenced by the fact that many older adults are indifferent to or dislike using new technologies (Kim, 2013), and might fail to specify unmet needs that could be satisfied through services made available by modern technology (Hornung et al, 2017). Additionally, older adults' sociocultural background could influence the psychological factors affecting their acceptance of ICT services (Niehaves & Plattfaut, 2014) Their experiences of life could also vary depending on gender, with men undergoing post-retirement physical deterioration and psychological atrophy (Hwang et al, 2018). Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors affecting the acceptance of ICT services as well as the service-related priorities and preferences in older adults aged 65 to 75 years living in South Korea.…”

Background: To encourage older adults with chronic disease to use information and communications technology (ICT) services effectively, it is necessary to identify users' needs and factors affecting acceptance. Objective: To identify the psychological factors affecting the acceptance of ICT services, and the service-related preferences/priorities in home-dwelling South Korean older adults. Method: We conducted focus group interviews with 2 groups of older adults (6 males and 6 females, age = 65-75 years) with chronic diseases in June 2019. To identify which services they prioritized, we made 20 service show cards, scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Additionally, we utilized a self-developed semi-structured interview guide based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 3 model (UTAUT3) to comprehensively identify how the factors affect older adults' acceptance. Results: Most participants prioritized their autonomy and worried about being dependent on ICT services. They were also reluctant to learn about and use new technology; feared the social stigma related to "being old"; and were anxious that the use of ICT services could result in deepened isolation. There was ambivalence regarding the impact of ICT services on connection with family/acquaintances. The prioritized services were emergency assistance (e.g., notifying family in case of emergencies), diet and exercise-related information, and medication reminders. Service needs and psychological factors affecting the acceptance differed by gender. Conclusion:The ICT services offered to the elderly should be developed in a way that guarantees autonomy and supports self-reliance. Services must also ensure the enhancement of social networks and maintenance of connectedness with family. Older people have a fear of learning new services; so, personal guidance and tailored education need to be offered. Further, service development must reflect the diverse needs of each user.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how ecological factors increase the risk of suicide ideation among the younger-old and the older-old. Methods: This study utilized the secondary data analysis study using 2016 Korea Health Panel Study data. A dataset of 3,346 people with 1,592 younger-old and 1,754 older-old was analyzed. To analyze the risk factors of suicide ideation among the old, x 2 tests and hierarchical logistic regression were used. Results: Depression, anxiety for the future, and experience taking psychiatric medication increased the risk of suicide ideation in the younger-old [9.32 OR (95% CI: 4.85~17.91); 4.08 OR (95% CI: 1.88~8.84); 2.67 OR (95% CI: 1.3~5.43)]. An oral health problem, subjective health status, depression, anxiety for the future and experience of taking psychiatric medication increased the risk of suicide ideation in the older-old [2.16 OR (95%
