The use of information and communication technologies by older people with cognitive impairments: from barriers to benefits
作者：
Highlights：
• Despite decline, most of our participants with cognitive impairments used ICTs.
• When this no longer worked, a close other sometimes used ICT for them (indirect use).
• Perceived usefulness was often a trigger to develop strategies to increase ease of use.
• Some participants used ICTs to maintain a feeling of control over their lives.
• Others used ICTs to compensate for their cognitive or physical decline.
