    Esta investigación comprende cómo las personas mayores que experimentaron el incendio de 2017 en Santa Olga, Chile, han reconfigurado sus vínculos sociales, tanto informales –familia, amistades y vecinos– como formales –en el Club de Adulto Mayor y las iglesias– tras el proceso de reconstrucción. Se abordan brechas en la literatura de desastres, como la tendencia a homogeneizar la experiencia de las personas afectadas y la escasa consideración sobre cómo el desastre y la reconstrucción afectan los lazos sociales y el capital social. Desde un enfoque cualitativo utilizando entrevistas individuales, los hallazgos destacan que, aunque la reconstrucción física fue exitosa, la cotidianidad del envejecimiento en el lugar cambió debido a la reubicación de vecinos o familiares, la falta de reconstrucción de lugares clave como la plaza y sede del club, y los cambios materiales en las viviendas. Problemas de salud y movilidad propios de la vejez han limitado los esfuerzos para mantener vínculos sociales. Quienes permanecieron en Santa Olga reconfiguraron sus relaciones más fácilmente que las personas reubicadas en Renacer. A pesar de estos desafíos, han demostrado resiliencia, rearmando redes de apoyo, manteniendo vínculos importantes, adaptando espacios públicos y privados, y retomando su vida diaria tras el incendio y la pandemia. Este estudio contribuye a una comprensión amplia de la recuperación post-desastre, destacando la relevancia de elementos espaciales sobre los vínculos sociales y el buen envejecimiento. Se sugiere diseñar políticas públicas de reconstrucción que prioricen la reconstrucción de espacios clave para el desarrollo de los vínculos sociales de las personas mayores.

    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.

    The impact of technology use for care by informal female caregivers on their well-being: a scoping review protocol
    (2023) Inostroza Correa, María Alejandra; Aparicio Alonso, Andrés David; Miranda Herrera, Paula Andrea; Salinas Suárez, Carolina Inés; Herskovic Maida, Valeria Paz; Chackiel Durán, Camila Valentina
    Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to assess the extent of literature examining the impact of technology use by informal female caregivers in their quality of life to characterize existing research gaps and to identify what evidence is already available. Introduction: The well-being of caregivers has become a prominent topic in recent studies on caregiving, especially for informal caregivers, who are mostly female. Within this context, the use of technologies to assist in caregiving tasks has become increasingly popular and some evidence about their impact on caregiver well-being is available. However, significant research gaps persist.Inclusion criteria: We are interested in studies exploring how informal female caregivers use technology and how such use impacts their well-being.Methods: We will search Web of Science and Scopus for studies in English, Spanish and Portuguese published in peer-reviewed journals since from 2018. Sources will be screened in stages by two independent reviewers; data will be extracted from selected full texts and results will be integrated into a narrative summary supported by tables and diagrams following the research questions.
