Sočasno s staranjem prebivalstva narašča delež obolelih z eno ali več kroničnih bolezni. Pravočasno zaznavanje in nadzorovanje kroničnih bolezni s pomočjo tehnologije ima potencial zagotoviti uspešno staranje posameznikov in finančno ter kadrovsko stabilnost zdravstvenih in socialno-varstvenih institucij. Z navedenimi izzivi se v svojih poročilih in politikah soočajo tudi številne mednarodne in domače organizacije. Spremljanje vitalnih znakov, podprto s tehnološkimi rešitvami, je lahko odgovor na navedene izzive. Dejavnike sprejemanja tehnologije so poskušali pojasniti že številni uveljavljeni teoretski modeli. S pomočjo metode pregleda literature po Arksey in O'Malley sem pregledala bibliografske baze Scopus, ProQuest in ScienceDirect in vključila besedila, napisana v angleščini, med letoma 2005 in 2020. Izmed 1855 zajetih prispevkov sem (glede na kriterije) v končno analizo vključila 26 prispevkov, ki obravnavajo dejavnike sprejemanja oz. zavračanja sistemov za merjenje vitalnih znakov med starejšimi odraslimi. Na podlagi analize zajetih prispevkov sem ključne dejavnike sprejemanja oz. zavračanja razporedila v tri sklope dejavnikov: osebni, tehnološki in kontekstualni dejavniki. Pomen magistrskega dela je v pregledu obstoječih raziskav na temo sprejemanja sistemov za merjenje vitalnih znakov in prepoznavi kompleksnosti dejavnikov sprejemanja oz. zavračanja sistemov za merjenje vitalnih znakov med starejšimi odraslimi. Z magistrskim delom sem opozorila na manko tovrstne literature in potrebo po nadaljnjih raziskavah na tem področju.

• Title: Adoption of systems for vital signs measuring among older adults

Abstract

Simultaneously with the aging of the population, the proportion of patients with one or more chronic diseases is increasing. Early detection and monitoring of chronic diseases with the help of technology has the potential to ensure more successful aging of individuals and financial and organizational stability of health and care institutions. International and domestic organizations also documented these challenges in their reports and policies. Monitoring vital signs, supported by technological solutions could be the answer to these challenges. Numerous theoretical models have tried to explain the user-technology relationship and the factors influencing technology acceptance. Using the method of "scoping study", I have reviewed bibliographic databases Scopus, ProQuest in ScienceDirect and included texts written in English between 2005 and 2020. Of the 1855 papers covered, I included (according to the criteria) 26 papers in the final analysis, that address the facilitators and barriers for acceptance of systems for measuring vital signs among older adults. Based on the analysis of the included papers, I divided the key factors of acceptance or rejection into three sets of factors: personal, technological and contextual factors. The significance of this master's thesis is in the review of existing research on the topic of acceptance of systems for measuring vital signs among older adults and the identification of the complexity of acceptance factors of systems for measuring vital signs among older adults. With my master thesis, I pointed out the lack of such literature and the need for further research in this area.
