摘要

Introduction: People with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) need to cope with everyday activities at home and in the society despite declining ability to perform those activities. An increasing number of activities involve technology and the way these activities are performed therefore has changed. Decreased ability to manage technology may bring about a risk for exclusion from participation in everyday activities. Aim: To investigate how older adults with mild AD or MCI manage technology in everyday life activities in comparison to older adults without known cognitive impairment. Methods: Three groups of older adults; mild AD; n=38, MCI; n=33, and older adults without known cognitive impairment; n=45 were assessed when managing their own everyday technology (ET) at home. Data was collected with the recently developed Management of Everyday Technology Assessment (META). A Rasch measurement model was used to generate measures of person ability to manage ET. In order to compare the three groups, the group-wise person ability measures were analyzed with an analysis of covariance, ANCOVA. Results: Ability to manage ET is significantly more decreased in the groups with mild AD or MCI compared to the group of older adults without known cognitive impairment. Furthermore, the group with MCI demonstrated a significantly higher ability to manage ET than the group with mild AD. However, there are overlaps between the groups and difficulties to manage ET appeared in all three groups. Conclusion: Decreased ability to manage ET is associated with mild AD and MCI. Since this can have consequences in everyday life, it may be of importance to consider ability to manage ET when assessing ability to perform everyday activities. The detailed information from META about the ability to manage ET can be used to guide interventions and to support everyday activities where technology is required.
