“We have to talk, we have to meet!” : An interview study about elderly people’s participation in social digital meeting places during the covid-19 pandemic. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Under covid-19 pandemin tvingades fysiska mötesplatser för äldre personer att stänga. Som följd av detta startade digitala mötesplatser. Syfte: Genom intervju beskriva äldre personers uppfattning om vad som var betydelsefullt för deras upplevelse av delaktighet i sociala digitala mötesplatser, under covid-19 pandemin. Metod: Kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio äldre personer som deltagit i en digital mötesplats under covid-19 pandemin. Vid rekrytering av informanter tillämpades det typiska urvalet. Materialet analyserades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Informanternas uppfattning beskrevs i fyra kategorier: möjligheter och begränsningar i digitala mötesplatser, individens och gruppens engagemang i mötesplatsen, mötesplatsens innehåll samt mötesplatsens betydelse för informanter. De digitala mötesplatserna bidrog till sociala kontakter och meningsfullhet i vardagen. Slutsats: Detta examensarbete visade att digitala mötesplatser skulle kunna vara ett verktyg för att främja delaktighet bland äldre personer som är socialt distanserade eller isolerade.

Abstract [en]

During the covid-19 pandemic, physical meeting places for elderly people were forced to close. Due to this, digital meeting places started. Purpose: Through interview, describe elderly people’s comprehension of what is significant for their experience of participation in social digital meeting places during the covid-19 pandemic. Method: A qualitative design. Semi structured interviews were conducted with ten elderly people who participated in digital meeting places during the covid-19 pandemic. The typical case sample was applied to recruit informants. The material was analysed based on qualitative content analysis. Result: Informants’ perception was described in four categories: opportunities and limitations in digital meeting places, the individual’s and the group’s engagement in the meeting place, the content of the meeting place, and the meaning of the meeting place for informants. The digital meeting places contributed to social contacts and meaningfulness in everyday life. Conclusion: This student thesis showed that digital meeting places could be a tool to promote participation among elderly people who are social distanced or isolated.
