Lee, Sunwoo
Educational Gerontology, v47 n5 p193-195 2021
Obtaining adequate information using digital technology or online communities has become more prevalent during the COIVD-19 pandemic. Therefore, understanding collected resources and information plays a significant role in the ability of older adults to cope with the adversities during the pandemic. On the one hand, older adults are exposed to massive information through the web and social media platforms. On the other hand, many older adults are less equipped and informed due to limited financial and material resources. This current paper urges the public health authorities and health education professionals to promote eHealth literacy of the older adults in preparation for the post-pandemic period or the onset of another pandemic.
