Establishment and Management of New Media in the Health System; Radio Salmandan (Radio for Elderly)

Abstract

COVID-19 was detected in Iran in February 2020, and until September 2020, all the provinces of the country were affected by this disease [1]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many older adults received a lot of stress and anxiety from the media and society, which caused them to become socially isolated and depressed. On the other hand, creating quarantine and social distancing as a policy adopted by countries caused fear and stress among people, especially older adults. This situation in countries where the dominant culture is meeting and interacting with older adults caused more damage to this group [2, 3].
