Abstract(s)
Neste artigo procuramos compreender o contributo das tecnologias digitais para o exercício da profissão dos cuidadores formais de pacientes com Doença de Alzheimer. Para concretizar este estudo, foi formulado um conjunto de proposições de investigação: (i) Os cuidadores formais utilizam as tecnologias digitais no desempenho das suas competências profissionais; (ii) As tecnologias digitais são um instrumento importante para a estimulação cognitiva de doentes com DA; (iii) Os cuidadores formais necessitam de formação para a utilização das tecnologias digitais na sua atividade. Para verificar estas proposições, adotou- se uma metodologia de investigação baseada nos paradigmas quantitativo e qualitativo. No quantitativo, utilizou-se um inquérito por questionário. Esperamos que os resultados contribuam para a implementação de políticas mais eficazes no apoio aos cuidadores formais e no tratamento de pacientes com DA, promovendo uma melhor qualidade de vida para todos os envolvidos.
The abstract should state clearly and concisely: the problem, the overall objective, the methodological approach, methods, main findings and the contribution of the article to the field. In this article we seek to understand the contribution of digital technologies to the exercise of the profession of formal caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease. In order to carry out this study, a set of research propositions was formulated: (i) Formal caregivers use digital technologies in the performance of their professional skills; (ii) Digital technologies are an important tool for the cognitive stimulation of patients with AD; (iii) Formal caregivers need training in the use of digital technologies in their activity. To verify these propositions, a research methodology based on quantitative and qualitative paradigms was adopted. The quantitative approach used a questionnaire survey. It is hoped that the results will contribute to the implementation of more effective policies to support formal caregivers and the treatment of patients with AD, promoting a better quality of life for all those involved.
