Abstract

This study recruited 150 community dwelling Korean immigrant elders to understand the role of information and communication technology (ICT) use on social support and life satisfaction by utilizing purposive sampling methods. Hierarchical multiple regression results indicated that a high level of smartphone use was significantly related to a high level of social support from families. High levels of smartphone use and social media use were significantly related to a high level of social support from friends. In addition, a high level of social media use was significantly related to a high level of life satisfaction among Korean immigrant elders. The findings of this study may provide insights for social service practitioners working with Korean immigrant elders to develop culturally appropriate services by using ICTs for improving social support systems and quality of life among the population. Future research with a longitudinal and experimental design can be conducted to better understand the long-term patterns of findings and causal relationships.

摘要

本研究招募了 150 名居住在社区的韩国移民长者,以通过有目的的抽样方法了解信息和通信技术 (ICT) 的使用对社会支持和生活满意度的作用。分层多元回归结果表明,智能手机的高水平使用与家庭的高水平社会支持显着相关。高水平的智能手机和社交媒体使用与朋友的高水平社会支持显着相关。此外,高水平的社交媒体使用与韩国移民老年人的高水平生活满意度显着相关。本研究的结果可能为社会服务从业者提供见解,帮助与韩国移民老年人合作,通过使用 ICT 来改善社会支持系统和人口的生活质量来开发符合文化的服务。可以进行纵向和实验设计的未来研究,以更好地了解发现和因果关系的长期模式。
