GInKA - Gesundheitsbezogene Informationskompetenzen im Alter

Health-information literacy in old age. Improving adults' health information literacy as a contribution to healthy ageing The project aims at acquiring knowledge about health information literacy and health-related information behavior in middle-aged and older adults. Based on its findings, a training program fostering health information literacy will be developed. The project is based on the assumption that »healthy« ageing is influenced positively by adequate health behaviors, e.g., by a prevention-oriented lifestyle. However, in everyday life, there are many myths and misconceptions about »healthy ageing« which are for example spread by people, by traditional media or websites. In addition, knowledge from the domains of medicine, neurosciences and gerontology is constantly changing. Therefore, the ability to acquire information about »healthy« ageing, to evaluate and weigh this information, and to derive well-founded conclusions about individual health behaviors, may contribute to autonomy in old age as well as »healthy« ageing.

老年健康信息素养（Health-information Literacy）：提升成年人健康信息素养以助力健康老龄化（Healthy Ageing）。本项目旨在获取中老年群体的健康信息素养及健康相关信息行为相关知识。基于研究发现，本项目将开发一套旨在培育健康信息素养的培训方案。本项目基于以下假设：适度的健康行为（例如以预防为导向的生活方式）可对健康老龄化产生积极影响。然而，日常生活中存在诸多关于健康老龄化的误区与错误认知，这些内容常通过人际传播、传统媒体或各类网站扩散。此外，医学、神经科学（Neurosciences）及老年学（Gerontology）领域的知识始终处于动态更新之中。因此，能够获取健康老龄化相关信息、对信息进行评估与权衡，并据此针对个体健康行为得出合理有据的结论，有助于提升老年群体的自主能力，同时推动健康老龄化。ZPID 未知未知项
