“…If the resources expended in coping outstrip the resultant benefits, the outcome of coping is likely to be negative. Illustrating this point, studies have found that people who were placed in a position in which they were required to give support, at a time when they themselves needed support, experienced increased psy-chological distress (Hobfoll & London, 1986;Riley & Eckenrode, 1986).…”

“…This is consistent with the suggestion that personality resources will be more effective in acute situations that are of a suddent onset, because they are within the repertoire of the individual and thus readily accessible. On the other hand, it takes time to seek and receive support, and so social support cannot immediately moderate the effects of stress (Hobfall & London, 1986).…”

“…Yet recent research results show that although emotional support is usually positively associated with various outcome measures, emotional support either exacerbates (e.g., Hobfall & London, 1986;Kaufmann & Beehr, 1986;Kobasa & Puccetti, 1983;MacEwen & Barling, in press;Pratt & Barling, 1987a) or exerts no moderating effect (Ganster et al, 1986) on diverse measures of strain. Even though most studies have focused on emotional support-presumably because of the existence of ap-…”

We investigated personal and organizational functioning following an acute disaster in an explosives factory in which 14 people were killed and 14 others were injured. Multivariate analyses of covariance (controlling for age and organizational tenure) assessed whether there were any differences between the experimental group (40 individuals physically exposed to the explosion) and two control groups (one from the same site performing a different job, the second from a separate site performing the same job; n = 76 and n = 40, respectively). During the 2nd week following the blast and 2 months afterward, there were no between-group differences in terms of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, marital satisfaction, or psychological distress. Failure to find any differences was attributed to the acute (as opposed to chronic) nature of the disaster. At both time periods, family support was correlated with personal functioning, whereas supervisory support was associated with job satisfaction; this is discussed in terms of the source of the stressor being consistent with the source of the support and the nature of the outcome.

“…According to Hobfoll and London (1986), women have taken social support as a key resource because of their emotional cognition, and those women have been more willing to help others with communication skills that could enable their network. In the theoretical frameworks a significant shortcoming has been demonstrated in the theories in regard to the usage of ICT by elderly people, especially in regard to the loneliness and social isolation of older adults as social phenomena are rarely illustrated.…”

Ageing of the population is a worldwide phenomenon. Numerous ICT-based solutions have been developed for elderly care but mainly connected to the physiological and nursing aspects in services for the elderly. Social work is a profession that should pay attention to the comprehensive wellbeing and social needs of the elderly. Many people experience loneliness and depression in their old age, either as a result of living alone or due to a lack of close family ties and reduced connections with their culture of origin, which results in an inability to participate actively in community activities (Singh & Misra, 2009). Participation in society would enhance the quality of life. With the development of information technology, the use of technology in social work practice has risen dramatically. The aim of this literature review is to map out the state of the art of knowledge about the usage of ICT in elderly care and to figure out research-based knowledge about the usability of ICT for the prevention of loneliness and social isolation of elderly people. The data for the current research comes from the core collection of the Web of Science and the data searching was performed using Boolean? The searching resulted in 216 published English articles. After going through the topics and abstracts, 34 articles were selected for the data analysis that is based on a multi approach framework. The analysis of the research approach is categorized according to some aspects of using ICT by older adults from the adoption of ICT to the impact of usage, and the social services for them. This literature review focused on the function of communication by excluding the applications that mainly relate to physical nursing. The results show that the so-called 'digital divide' still exists, but the older adults have the willingness to learn and utilise ICT in daily life, especially for communication. The data shows that the usage of ICT can prevent the loneliness and social isolation of older adults, and they are eager for technical support in using ICT. The results of data analysis on theoretical frames and concepts show that this research field applies different theoretical frames from various scientific fields, while a social work approach is lacking. However, a synergic frame of applied theories will be suggested from the perspective of social work. Keywords: ICT, older adults, loneliness, social isolation. ResumenEl envejecimiento de la población es un fenómeno mundial. Se han desarrollado numerosas soluciones basadas en las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) para el cuidado de ancianos, pero concentradas principalmente en los servicios relacionados con aspectos fisiológicos y de enfermería. El Trabajo Social es una profesión que tiene que prestar atención al bienestar integral y a las necesidades sociales de las personas mayores. Muchas personas sufren soledad y depresión en la vejez, ya sea como resultado de vivir solas o debido a la falta de lazos familiares y a la reducción de las conexiones con su cultura...
