Resumo: This study aimed to analyze the effects of computer use on the cognitive performance, emotional state, quality of life and motor skills of participants enrolled in computer classes. The sample consisted of 114 elderly people who were divided into two groups: one without computer skills (GSI) comprised of 58 people, and another with computer skills (CG), comprised of 56. For this study, we used Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), a quality of life assessment (WHOQOL-Bref), and measurements of handgrip strength (dynamometer Saehan Corporation®) and fine motor skill (manual skills panel). The results showed that computer use may contribute positively to the cognitive function of the elderly, improving their emotional state, quality of life and motor skills.

A amostra foi constituída por 114 idosos, divididos em grupo sem informática (GSI) com 58 idosos e grupo informática (GI) com 56 idosos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Exame Cognitivo de Addenbrooke Revisado (ACE-R), Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (GDS-15), Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI), qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-Bref), força de preensão manual (dinamômetro Saehan Corporation®) e motricidade fina (painel de habilidades manuais). Os resultados revelaram que o uso do computador contribuiu positivamente para a funcionalidade cognitiva do idoso, melhorando seu estado emocional, sua qualidade de vida e sua habilidade motora manual.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2019-02-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/2325510.1590/0102.3772e3522Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 35 (2019)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 35 (2019)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 35 (2019)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 35 (2019)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
