Resumo: |
Due to the increase in the elderly population and life expectancy, new technologies have been used to help the aging process with quality of life. Within these new technologies is the teleassistance, which aims to accompany the elderly in their home, based on communication technologies. This individual, when necessary, can request health care through teleassistance, offering an option for the elderly to remain in their homes. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life and the expression of coercion of elderly people using assistive technology in the form of teleassistance in the city of Porto Alegre. Methodology: In the case of a cross-sectional study of the prevalent case study, all the clients were invited and 25 people accepted to participate. Inclusion criteria were used to be elderly, that is, people aged 60 or over, and to be using teleassistance technology.

Among the participants, the majority live alone (21%) and only 4 (16%) live with someone, who can be the husband or wife, children or grandchildren. The time of use of teleassistance ranged from two to 60 months, with a mean of 18.4 months. Confidence regarding the use of teleassistance averaged 81.6% and satisfaction with use averaged 85.6%.
