Abstract

<div><p>Background</p><p>The worldwide population over 60 years of age is increasing. Thus, older adults should maintain interest and participate in social and family activities to help preserve their independence and promote their well-being. Well-being is a part of human health in its most general sense which manifests itself in all areas of human activity. Leisure activities such as listening to an audiobook may provide enjoyment and promote relaxation in older people and help improve the well-being of older adults.</p><p>Objective</p><p>This study aims to investigate the impact of an audiobook mobile application on the well-being perception of older adults and to evaluate the usability of a mobile application specifically designed for this population.</p><p>Methods</p><p>This protocol is a quasi-experimental study that will be conducted with 60 older adults who will use an audiobook mobile application for 4 weeks. Participants will be evaluated pre and post intervention through validated questionnaires on digital competences, usability, and perception of well-being.</p><p>Results</p><p>A positive impact on the perception of well-being is expected in older adults who listen to poems through an audiobook mobile application.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>This study will allow us to know the impact on the perception of the older adult’s well-being and stimulate other groups to do research on other populations and literary genres.</p><p>Trial registration</p><p>ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier—<a href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05891925" target="_blank">NCT05891925</a> (An Audiobook-based Intervention on Community-dwelling Older Adults in Concepción, Chile).</p><p>URL—<a href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05891925" target="_blank">https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05891925</a>.</p></div>
