Coping strategies against the infodemic used by adults and the elderly: a scoping review
Keywords:
infodemic, misinformation, disinformatio.Abstract
The objective of this study is to map the scientific production on the strategies proposed and/or used to face infodemics with a focus on preserving the health of adults and the elderly in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is a Scope review, developed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology, which included 27 articles. These articles were analyzed according to the type of study, coping strategies used, main results and limitations of the studies. The coping strategies found against the infodemic were divided into coping strategies used by adults and the elderly and authors' suggested strategy against the infodemic. Knowing these new coping tools used by adults and the elderly is essential for the development of new strategies and improvement of those that are already available, since few specific articles on the subject were found. Therefore, future studies are suggested with more robust articles that fill in the gaps found.References
