AbstractThis study investigated the acceptance of tablets technology among cognitively impaired older adults from individual and contextual levels when used in cognitive training. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design, comprising a post-usage questionnaire survey and focus groups, was used for data collection. A number of 57 community-dwelling cognitively impaired older people in Hong Kong completed an eight-week, home-based cognitive training using tablets delivered by older volunteers. The acceptance of the tablet usage for cognitive training was evaluated using questionnaire survey. Focus groups were conducted with participants, volunteers, and social workers to explore their experiences of tablet usage for cognitive training. Results indicated that attitudes toward tablets and facilitating conditions were predictors of intention to use tablets at the individual level. Tablets were perceived as beneficial on cognition, enjoyment, learning, social relationships, and communication. Contextual level factors that can encourage tablets usage include capacity building, empowerment, supports from the organization, and trust.
