Item Uso de redes sociales tecnológicas y relaciones familiares en adultos mayores(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2023-03) Cunalata Altamirano, Dayana Monserrath; Chiliquinga Vejar, Lorena del CarmenSocial networks have contributed positively to affective and emotional ties in the majority of older adults, however, there is a small part of older adults who maintain an isolated experience because it is difficult for them to maintain social and family connectivity. Taking these factors into account, it is evident that older adults are integrating into these new technologies in order to maintain good family ties, to interact and maintain good communication with distant relatives. In this work we carry out several investigations to understand the acceptance of the use of social networks by the population of older adults and thus know what their motivations are, level of family relationships, fears and/or difficulties. The research is descriptive and correlational, with a sample of 183 older adults, its objective is to determine the influence of the use of technological social networks and family relationships in older adults of the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security of the Active Aging Program of the Ambato canton.

In which only the third and fourth sections were designed, which were validated by experts.
