Abstract
[Resumen] Fundamentos: En una sociedad envejecida es necesario
establecer nuevas alternativas que de alguna manera traten
de satisfacer las necesidades de las personas mayores,
a la vez que incrementen su calidad de vida percibida.
En este sentido, las nuevas tecnologías, como la informática,
se han convertido en una herramienta básica de
nuestra sociedad, de la que los mayores, sin ninguna
duda, podrán beneficiarse.
El objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer la opinión de los
mayores acerca de temas relacionados con la informática e
Internet, así como su capacidad de acceso a las nuevas
tecnologías y los conocimientos con los que cuentan.
Métodos: Se realiza una entrevista estandarizada, de diseño
propio, a una muestra de 105 personas mayores
con una edad media de 73 años, residentes en la ciudad
de A Coruña.
Resultados: De los resultados obtenidos se constata que
aunque la mayoría de las personas mayores no cuenta
con ordenador personal ni ha trabajado con aplicaciones
informáticas, les gustaría aprender más sobre este
campo. Además, cuando se conectan a Internet lo hacen
desde centros sociales y/o educativos, no encontrando
excesivos problemas en su manejo y navegación.
Conclusiones: Es necesario fomentar el uso de la informática
por parte de los mayores, ya que en un futuro
puede constituir una herramienta imprescindible en la
intervención sobre problemas inherentes al envejecimiento
como son el aislamiento o la soledad entre otros.
[Abstract] new alternatives, that somehow try to satisfy the needs of elderly people and that at the same time increase their quality of life. On this sense, the new technologies, such as computer science, have become a basic tool of our society, and the elderly, without no doubt will be able to benefit from it. The objective of the present work is to know what the elderly think about themes related to computer science and internet, as well as their capacity of accessing to new technologies, and the knowledge that they have about them. Methods: A standarized interview has been made, it´s self designed, to a sample of 105 elderly people living in the city of A Coruña. Results: Although most elderly people don´t have a personal computer neither have worked with a computer application, would like to learn more about this field. When they are connected to internet they do it from social and/or educative centres, not having great problems neither in its handling or navigation. Conclusions: It´s necessary to promote the use of computer science on the elderly people, since in a future it can constitute an essential tool in the intervention on inherent problems to aging such as isolation or loneliness among others.
