Brief summary
The Computer Proficiency Questionnaire (CPQ) assesses older individuals' computer and information technology skills. The questionnaire promotes digital inclusion by tailoring training packages to meet individual requirements. The CPQ serves as a continuous evaluation tool to track participants' progress in digital inclusion initiatives throughout time. The CPQ identifies unique problems that older persons have while utilizing digital technology, allowing for tailored solutions to overcome these barriers.
Detailed description
The adaptation of the elderly population to technology has increased rapidly with demographic changes and developments in the field of Gerontechnology, which supports successful aging by integrating technology into the daily lives of older individuals. Gerontechnology focuses on the development and application of communication and information technologies in order to increase the independence and social participation of older individuals. Digital competence requires cognitive and technical skills that include processes such as finding, understanding, evaluating, creating and communicating digital information; it is of fundamental importance for the digital society. The Computer Use Competence Survey stands out as an assessment tool that measures the competence of older individuals in using computers and information technologies. This survey supports digital inclusion by contributing to the development of training programs tailored to individual needs. In addition, the Computer Use Competence Survey can be used as a continuous assessment tool to measure the progress of individuals participating in digital inclusion programs over time. Another strength of the Computer Use Competence Survey is that it can identify specific barriers that older individuals encounter when using digital technology and allows for special measures to be taken to overcome these barriers. The aim of this study is to provide a reliable tool for assessing the digital competence of the elderly population in Turkey by performing the cross-cultural adaptation and content validation of the Computer Use Proficiency Questionnaire in Turkish.
