Аннотация

In the article, when considering the integration of older people into online health communities, we resort to considering the role of such communities in the lives of older people. This study contributes to the study of the possibilities and limitations of online communities for older people with chronic diseases living in rural areas. For older people with chronic diseases, such communities can serve as communities for communication, that is, those communities where communication is possible, which is often not enough for older people living in peripheral settlements. The importance of such communities is determined by the fact that it is often difficult for an older person in peripheral settlements due to remoteness to get the necessary advice or recommendation from a doctor, and communication in online health communities and medical forums contributes to obtaining such advice, which is important in the treatment of the disease. Based on the studied groups of older people, conclusions are drawn and various strategies for using online health communities are typified. In particular, three strategies are identified: the communication strategy, the user strategy and the monitoring strategy. For each of them, the features of the use of online health communities are outlined, as well as the role of such communities in everyday life. Thus, the use and monitoring strategy are characterized by the fact that users — older people — are integrated mainly into online health communities for communication and interaction, while for representatives of the communication strategy, the most significant is the use of online health communities as a communicative platform for discussing various problems existing within rural life and health, and also for therapeutic communication.
