Implementing digital skills training in care homes: a literature review
Wild, Deidre; Kydd, Angela; Szczepura, Ala
Abstract
This article is the first of a two-part series that
together inform and describe digital skills training
using a dedicated console computer provided for
staff and residents in a care home setting. This was
part of a programme of culture change in a large
care home with nursing in Glasgow, Scotland.
The literature review shows that over the past
decade there has been a gradual increase in the
use of digital technology by staff and older people
in community settings including care homes. Policy
from the European Commission presents a persuasive
argument for the advancement of technology-enabled
care to counter the future impact of an increased
number of people of advanced age on finite health
and social care resources. The psychosocial and
environmental issues that inhibit or enhance the
acquisition of digital skills in care homes are
considered and include the identification of exemplar
schemes and the support involved
