Title
Examining Older Adults' Enhanced Use of eHealth.
Abstract
As seniors are at higher risk to suffer from chronic illnesses and other diseases, eHealth is ideally positioned to empower them becoming actively involved in their own healthcare and to support their well-being. Yet, eHealth is unlikely to have any impacts on seniors’ health behavior unless they actually make use of it. It is, thus, important to understand how older adults’ achieve enhanced use of eHealth. In this research, we examine how the interplay of seniors’ computer self-efficacy, usefulness perceptions, and active engagement in finding new purposes for IT lead to seniors’ enhanced eHealth use.
