Abstract
This systematic review explored the effectiveness of technology-based
interventions in promoting the mental health and wellbeing of people aged
65 and over. Data were collected as part of a wider review commissioned by
the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in England on
the effectiveness of different actions to promote the mental wellbeing and
independence of older people. All studies identified through this review
were subject to a detailed critical appraisal of quality, looking at
internal and external validity. Twenty-one papers covering evaluations of
technological interventions were identified. They examined the psychosocial
effects of technologies for education, exposure to, and/or training to use,
computers and the internet, telephone/internet communication and computer
gaming. Few studies took the form of randomized controlled trials, with
little comparability in outcome measures, resulting in an inconsistent
evidence base with moderate strength and quality. However, three out of six
studies with high or moderate quality ratings (all focused on
computer/internet training) reported statistically significant positive
effects on psychosocial outcomes, including increased life satisfaction and
experienced social support, as well as reduced depression levels among
intervention recipients. The review results highlight the need for more
methodologically rigorous studies evaluating the effects of
technology-based interventions on mental wellbeing. Well-performed
technology-based interventions to promote various aspects of mental
wellbeing, as identified in this review, can serve as best practice
examples in this emerging field.
