    (2013) Illmer, Doyna; Rosas, Ricardo; Veliz Cordova, Soledad Del Carmen; Ramírez, María Paz; Aparicio, Andrés; Benavente, Catalina; Thibaut, Carolina
    En Chile escasean los instrumentos de evaluación de aprendizajes para párvulos que cuenten con criterios de confiabilidad y validez y que evalúen aprendizajes esenciales definidos de ese modo por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. El objetivo de esta investigación es validar una prueba de evaluación de aprendizajes a través del juego llamada dip, sostenida en tablet. La prueba evalúa conceptos básicos relacionados con lenguaje verbal y razonamiento lógico-matemático en niños de entre tres y seis años. La prueba dip fue estandarizada con 360 niños entre tres y seis años de instituciones de diversa dependencia administrativa que ofrecen educación parvularia en la Región Metropolitana de Chile. La prueba conlleva evidencia de buena confiabilidad interna (0,7) y confiabilidad consistente por eje de aprendizajes evaluados. Asimismo, evidencia una alta correlación con una prueba de evaluación de competencias lectoras iniciales (0,7) y una correlación moderada con una prueba de aprendizajes en formato tradicional (0,5)

    The impact of technology use for care by informal female caregivers on their well-being: a scoping review
    (2025) Aparicio, Andrés; Inostroza Correa, Alejandra; Miranda Sánchez, Paula; Salinas, Carolina; Herskovic Maida, Valeria Paz; Chackiel Durán, Camila Valentina; Alarcón Barbe, Catalina Belén
    Introduction Informal caregiving roles are predominantly assumed by women, who often experience unique challenges related to physical, emotional, and social stress due to entrenched gender disparities. Within this context, the use of technologies to assist in caregiving tasks has become popular, and some evidence about their impact on caregiver well-being is available. However, significant research gaps persist. This scoping review was intended to assess the extent of literature examining the impact of technology use by informal female caregivers on their quality of life, to characterize existing research gaps, and to identify available evidence regarding gender-specific challenges. Methods We searched for studies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese published in peer-reviewed journals since 2018. We included studies exploring how informal female caregivers use technology and how such use impacts their well-being. The studies included in the review analyze the impact of technology use on the physical, emotional, or material well-being of informal female caregivers. Sources were screened in stages by two independent reviewers; data were extracted from selected full texts, and results were integrated into a narrative summary. Results A total of 14 studies were included in the review, highlighting a range of technologies such as health monitoring devices, communication platforms, and assistive aids. The review identified improvements in caregiver well-being related to reduced physical burden, enhanced emotional support, and increased social connectivity. However, significant research gaps were noted, particularly regarding the long-term effects of technology use, differences based on socio-economic contexts, and the limited inclusion of gender-specific analyses. Conclusions This review supports the notion that technology use can positively impact the well-being of informal female caregivers, especially in terms of emotional and social support. Nevertheless, the review also found that in certain situations, technology can fail to improve or even worsen the quality of life of caregivers. However, the limited availability of studies with standardized quantitative measures, gender-specific data, and comprehensive assessments of long-term effects highlights areas for future research. Further exploration into diverse sociocultural contexts and empirical model development will be essential to better understand the nuanced ways in which technology use influences caregiver quality of life. These findings underscore the potential for targeted technology solutions to support informal caregivers, with implications for healthcare professionals and policymakers designing caregiver support initiatives.
