Abstract

El envejecimiento es un proceso multidimensional. Según la OMS entre 2015 y 2050 el porcentaje de personas mayores casi se duplicará. Entre los objetivos más importantes de la salud pública está promover y sostener la salud y el bienestar de la población mayor, que resulta mejor cuando se produce lugar de residencia habitual. La aplicación de tecnologías permite a las personas mayores optimizar su calidad de vida.El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre las tecnologías utilizadas para personas mayores en el entorno rural publicados.Se identificaron los artículos publicados desde enero de 2014 hasta enero de 2020 en las bases de datos CINAHL, PSICODOC, PubMed, Scielo, OT Seeker, utilizando los descriptores Aging, technology y rural environment y sus correspondientes en español, envejecimiento, tecnología y entorno rural.Los resultados aportan que hay una variabilidad en cuanto al tipo de tecnologías investigadas. Sin embargo, en la aplicación en las áreas del desempeño ocupacional es limitada y la investigación en entornos rurales mínima

(Aging is a multidimensional process. According to the WHO, between 2015 and 2050 the percentage of older people will almost double. Among the most important public health goals is to promote and sustain the health and well-being of the older population, which is best served by a place of habitual residence. In Spain the aging index has increased by 10% in recent years with the community of Castilla y León leading the way and more rural population. The application of technologies allows older people to optimise their quality of life.

The aim of this work was to carry out a bibliographic review of the technologies used for independent living in rural areas published.

The articles published from January 2014 to January 2020 in the databases CINAHL, PSICODOC, PubMed, Scielo, OT Seeker were identified, using the descriptors Aging, technology and rural environment and their corresponding in Spanish, envejecimiento, tecnología y entorno rural.

The results show that there is a variability in the type of technologies researched. However, the application in the areas of occupational performance is limited and research in rural environments is minimal.)
