Abstract(s)
A chamada Era Digital veio revolucionar a comunicação como a conhecíamos. O Mundo, as pessoas e a
informação tornaram-se mais próximos e mais acessíveis. As redes sociais, em particular, tornaram-se o
canal de eleição para a troca de contatos e a criação e o estabelecimento de relações sociais. Uma vez
que os mais velhos são um dos públicos que mais carece de atenção, os canais digitais apresentam-se
como uma ferramenta útil no combate à solidão e no aumento da qualidade de vida. Para além de ser
uma questão biológica, o envelhecimento é também uma questão psicológica e social e é necessário
encontrar soluções para que a fase última da vida seja passada da melhor forma possível. Esta
investigação teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre a utilização das redes sociais e a qualidade de
vida de 102 idosos através da análise e realização de um questionário online. Este trabalho concluiu que
séniores com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos utilizam ativamente as redes sociais, com mais ou menos
proficiência, que estas contribuem para o seu bem-estar e que desejariam adquirir mais conhecimentos,
nomeadamente, pela participação em formações e cursos.
The so-called Digital Era has revolutionised communication, as we know it. The world, people and information have become closer and more accessible. Social networks, in particular, have become the channel of choice for exchanging contacts and creating and establishing social relationships. Since the elderly are one of the publics that most need attention, digital channels present themselves as a useful tool to fight loneliness and increase the quality of life. Besides being a biological issue, ageing is also a psychological and social issue, which is why we need to find solutions to ensure that the last part of life is spent in the best possible way. This research aimed to discover the relationship between the use of social networks and the quality of life of 102 elderly people through the completion and analysis of an online questionnaire. This work concluded that seniors aged 65 and over use social networks actively with more or less proficiency, that these contribute to their well-being and that they would like to acquire further knowledge, namely by participating in training sessions and digital courses.
