Full textDet övergripande syftet vara att undersöka hur äldre anhörigvårdare på landsbygden upplevde att få anhörigstöd via en e-hälsa-tjänst. Avhandlingen hade en mixed method design och bestod av fyra originalarbeten (I-IV). Deltagare i studien var 95 personer, boendes i gles- och landsbygdsområden, som i det egna hemmet vårdade en make eller maka med kronisk sjukdom. Deltagarna var fördelade på interventionsgrupp (n=63) och kontrollgrupp (n=32). Datainsamling skedde efter 1.5 års användning av e-anhhörigstödet, genom web-kamera intervjuer (I-III), telefonintervjuer (II,IV) och frågeformulär (II,IV). Kvantitativa data analyserades genom komparativ statistik, multipel linjär regression och logistisk regression. Kvalitativa data analyserades med innehållsanalys. Artikel I visade att anhörigvårdarna, även om de inte hade någon vana av datorer sedan tidigare, kunde lära sig och bli användare av den teknik och utrustning som ingick i e-anhörigstödet, när de fick hjälp och stöd av anhörigstödjare eller andra. Anhörigvårdarna upplevde att e-anhörigstödet hjälpte dem att återfå social delaktighet. Artikel II hade en komparativ design och jämförde e-anhörigstöd med traditionellt anhörigstöd. De som använde e-anhörigstödet var nöjda med stödet i högre utsträckning än de som fick traditionellt stöd. E-anhörigstödet upplevdes som tillgänglig, flexibelt samt bidrog till att de utvecklade sin kompetens i vårdandet. Kontrollgruppen var mindre nöjd med sitt stöd samt upplevde att de hade behov som inte tillgodoseddes av stödet. Artikel III visade att e-anhörigstöd kan minska anhörigvårdares upplevelse av isolering, dels genom att de upplevde en känsla av att vara på andra platser fast de rent fysiskt befann sig i hemmet, dels genom att de utvecklade sociala nätverk. Artikel IV visade att anhörigvårdarna ofta använde e-anhörigstödet och att de upplevde nytta av att använda det. De blev också mer självständiga vilket ledde till färre kontakter med anhörigstödspersonalen. Personalen kände viss besvikelse över att kontakterna iv med anhöriga minskade och uttryckte att den professionella omvårdnads-rollen behöver utvecklas när e-hälsa införs och tillämpas i vård- och omsorgsarbete. Slutsatser som drogs från fynden i avhandlingen var att anhörigvårdarna hade stor nytta av att använda e-anhörigstöd samt att det hjälpte dem att bli mer självständiga, vilket reducerade deras behov av kontakt med kommunernas anhörigstöd. Sveriges kommuner har en skyldighet enligt lag att tillhandahålla anhörigstöd, med stöd av fynden från den här studien kan man dra slutsatsen att e-anhörigstöd kan fungera lika bra som, ibland till och med effektivare än, traditionellt anhörigstöd.

Full textDifferent social classes of people in South Africa are divided, digitally. This phenomenon manifests as a disparity of information in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), which is a matter of concern, as the use of ICT is acknowledged to greatly influence the world today, more specifically so in rural areas. An investigation to determine which factors affect rural communities’ access to information, as well as progress levels that can be realised in the support means employed by people resident in rural areas, through introducing ICT’s in their day-to-day living, thus addresses the purported ‘digital divide’. The study’s population was drawn from the Dibate Village community, located in Mmabatho in Mafikeng, South Africa. Recommendations from the findings, point out how ICT facilities can be utilised in the development of rural communities, not just socially but also economically. As main objective, the study evaluates and examines the use of ICT facilities for commercial activities, in uplifting the rural community in the area of Dibate Village. This study is of value to governmental and non-governmental organisations where improving both socio-economic development and service delivery is concerned, in South Africa’s rural areas.
