Description
Ling Xu and co-authors wrote a 2023 scoping review on digital storytelling built from reminiscence with older adults. Looking back over one's life can support mental health in later years. Turning those memories into a digital storybook may deepen the benefit. The review asked how such projects are run, whether generations mix in them, and what outcomes follow.
Starting from 702 articles, screening narrowed the field to 35 full texts and finally 10 studies squarely on reminiscence-based digital storytelling. Only one study deliberately built intergenerational engagement into its design. Reported effects for older adults included personal meaning and emotional release, plus social connection. Outcomes for younger co-creators and audiences were also tracked. The authors map a young field and its gaps.
