Abstract:
Objective To conduct a scoping review of studies on online health information-seeking behavior interventions for older adults to determine the specific content,outcome indicators and effects of online health information-seeking behavior interventions for older adults,and to provide references for future research and practice.Methods Computer search was conducted to retrieve studies related to health information-seeking behavior intervention for older adults based on digital technology from PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database.The search period was from the construction of the database to 18 January 2024.The included literature was screened and summarized by 2 researchers.Results 19 papers were included.Pre-intervention preparation for an online health information-seeking behavior intervention for older adults included participant recruitment,baseline surveys,and material preparation.Intervention content elements included training in basic computer and Internet knowledge and skills,knowledge and use of online health resources,evaluation of online health information quality,and application of online health information.The intervention sites were mainly places where older people live and work.Intervention time and frequency were 1-3 hours for one-time intervention training,1-2 times/week for 4-6 weeks for short-term intervention in ongoing intervention support,1-3 times/month for 3-4 months for long-term intervention.The outcome indicators are mainly related to computer knowledge and skills indicators,health attitudes indicators,online health information seeking behaviour indicators,and health behaviour indicators.Conclusion Online health information-seeking behaviour interventions for the elderly are feasible and effective,and high-quality empirical studies can be conducted in the future to improve online health information-seeking behaviour of the elderly and promote health management by improving intervention preparation,integrating technological innovations,and promoting the development of personalized intervention programs.
