Abstract

In this paper, we present our study regarding facilitating storytelling of older adults living in the nursing home with their children. The paper was driven by the following research questions: (1) What life stories would the older adults like to share? And (2) In which ways, could design enable the older adults to tell their stories? We designed a tangible device named Slots-Story, and conducted a preliminary evaluation to refine it. In the field study, eight pairs of participants (each pair consisted of an elderly adult and his/her child) were recruited to use the prototype for around ten days. Semi-structured interviews were conducted before and after the implementation. In total 344 stories were collected. Thematic, structural, and interaction analyses were conducted with the stories. In the discussion, we conclude the paper with design considerations for promoting older adults’ storytelling with their children.

摘要

在本文中，我们介绍了有关促进与孩子一起住在养老院的老年人讲故事的研究。该论文受到以下研究问题的驱动：（1）老年人希望分享哪些人生故事？（2）设计可以通过哪些方式使老年人讲述自己的故事？我们设计了一个名为Slots-Story的有形设备，并进行了初步评估以对其进行完善。在现场研究中，招募了八对参与者（每对参与者包括一个成年人和他/她的孩子）使用该原型约十天。在实施前后进行了半结构化访谈。总共收集了344个故事。故事进行了主题，结构和交互分析。在讨论中，
