Abstract

Chile is facing an increasingly aging population and, with it, changes in its demographic, epidemiological, and healthcare structure. As a result, the sexual health of the elderly is an emerging area at the social level and in healthcare systems. This research aims to identify general aspects of sexuality in the elderly and learn about educational content delivered to this group using digital technologies. To do this, we proposed a review of scientific literature on the subject between January 1st, 2018, and December 31st, 2022, in the databases Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, Cochrane, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The articles found, and the emerging information was analyzed. A total of 1573 articles were found, of which 21 papers were finally included, 11 with qualitative methodology, six quantitative, and four mixed. In addition, nine addressed the area of sexuality, and 12 focused on technological innovations for the elderly. Sexuality is a growing topic worldwide, carrying with it sociocultural beliefs associated with dogmatic opinions and myths, with discrimination against this age group, especially if they belong to sexual minorities. This group also has better access to new digital technologies that facilitate access to training, social integration, and timely healthcare. Scientific evidence shows that the sexuality of the elderly is a topic of global interest, invisibilized, with low education and training of healthcare workers. The latter are neither informed nor able to solve the reasons for consultation in the traditional way or with new digital health technologies.
关于老年人性行为的文献综述:教什么,用什么技术。
智利正面临着人口日益老龄化的问题,人口结构、流行病学和医疗保健结构也随之发生变化。因此,在社会层面和医疗保健系统中,老年人的性健康是一个新兴领域。本研究旨在确定老年人性问题的一般方面,并了解利用数字技术向这一群体提供的教育内容。为此,我们建议在 Web of Science、MEDLINE/PubMed、LILACS、Cochrane、Scopus 和 Google Scholar 等数据库中对 2018 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 12 月 31 日期间有关该主题的科学文献进行综述。对找到的文章和新出现的信息进行了分析。共找到 1573 篇文章,其中 21 篇最终被收录,11 篇采用定性方法,6 篇采用定量方法,4 篇采用混合方法。此外,9 篇涉及性领域,12 篇关注老年人技术创新。性问题在全世界都是一个日益重要的话题,它所带来的社会文化信仰与教条主义观点和神话有关,并对这一年龄组的人造成歧视,特别是如果他们属于性少数群体的话。这一群体也更容易接触到新的数字技术,这些技术有助于获得培训、社会融合和及时的医疗保健。科学证据表明,老年人的性问题是一个全球关注的话题,但却被掩盖了,医护人员的教育和培训水平较低。医护人员既不了解情况,也无法通过传统方式或新的数字医疗技术解决咨询原因。

期刊介绍: Medwave is a peer-reviewed, biomedical and public health journal. Since its foundation in 2001 (Volume 1) it has always been an online only, open access publication that does not charge subscription or reader fees. Since January 2011 (Volume 11, Number 1), all articles are peer-reviewed. Without losing sight of the importance of evidence-based approach and methodological soundness, the journal accepts for publication articles that focus on providing updates for clinical practice, review and analysis articles on topics such as ethics, public health and health policy; clinical, social and economic health determinants; clinical and health research findings from all of the major disciplines of medicine, medical science and public health. The journal does not publish basic science manuscripts or experiments conducted on animals. Until March 2013, Medwave was publishing 11-12 numbers a year. Each issue would be posted on the homepage on day 1 of each month, except for Chile’s summer holiday when the issue would cover two months. Starting from April 2013, Medwave adopted the continuous mode of publication, which means that the copyedited accepted articles are posted on the journal’s homepage as they are ready. They are then collated in the respective issue and included in the Past Issues section.
