Resumo: Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe and the World. Regarding infoexclusion, all national and international studies report that the elderly is the most infoexcluded social group. The pandemic that we are still experiencing has made confinement measures quite restrictive at the level of institutions for the elderly. Isolation worsened and socio-emotional disturbances worsened the quality of life of the elderly. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the existence of a digital plan that can reverse these constraints. The focus groups carried out in three institutions for the elderly in the district of Castelo Branco (Portugal) with directors, caregivers, psychologists, and physical activity therapists, showed a great lack of knowledge regarding the digital area for the elderly. The researchers presented some suggestions in the focus groups that were accepted: a robust Wi-Fi network for the entire institution; digital training for staff in apps related to cognitive training, motor training, and social networks; apps related to video calls; creation of a digital space in the institution so that all seniors can access and use digital resources for free.

Em relação à infoexclusão, todos os estudos nacionais e internacionais relatam que o grupo social mais infoexcluído é das pessoas idosas. A pandemia tornou as medidas de confinamento bastante restritivas ao nível das instituições para idosos. O isolamento piorou e os distúrbios socioemocionais pioraram a qualidade de vida dos idosos. Este estudo preliminar teve como objetivo investigar a existência de um plano digital que possa reverter esses constrangimentos. Os grupos focais realizados com diretores, cuidadores, psicólogos e fisioterapeutas de três instituições para idosos do distrito de Castelo Branco (Portugal) evidenciaram um grande desconhecimento da área digital para idosos. Os pesquisadores apresentaram algumas sugestões nos grupos focais que foram acatadas: uma rede Wi-Fi robusta para toda a instituição; treinamento digital para funcionários em aplicativos relacionados a treinamento cognitivo, treinamento motor e redes sociais; aplicativos relacionados a videochamadas; criação de um espaço digital na instituição para que todos os idosos possam acessar e utilizar os recursos digitais gratuitamente.Universidade de Passo Fundo - BrasilRepositório Científico do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo BrancoGil, HenriqueDiogo, Francisca2023-10-27T10:07:56Z20222022-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.11/8690engGil, H. & Diogo, F.
