    Current evidence suggests that attitude towards older people may be associated with sociodemographic and educational variables; hence, a positive attitude towards older people is key when training new university professionals. However, there is little evidence of this association in Chilean university students. The objective was to analyze students from a Chilean university's attitudes towards older people, according to sociodemographic and educational variables. Analytical and cross-sectional study; 515 students from a Chilean university were consulted online about their attitude towards older people using Kogan's Attitudes towards Old People scale. Additionally, sociodemographic and educational variables were recorded. The average score for positive attitude was 70.8 (+/- 9.7), while the negative attitude score was 68.3 (+/- 11.6). The total score was 139.1 (+/- 16.6). Mostly, university students perceive themselves with a low-level positive attitude (61.2%). Additionally, older university students (26-42 years old); women; Chileans; students of law, speech therapy, and occupational therapy; students in their final years of the programs; and those who had training in older people outside the university have a more positive attitude towards older people. In Conclusion, a profile of sociodemographic and educational characteristics of students with a lower and higher attitude towards older age was investigated. These results are relevant since the way of seeing the aging process could regulate the training of future professionals and consequently generate changes in dealing with older people. Young people's perception of ageing would affect the treatment and incorporation of the older people in society and the adaptation of policies in this age group.

    RESUMEN Introducción: Actualmente el desarrollo, aplicación y uso de las nuevas tecnologías vinculadas a la salud es un campo emergente. En la actualidad no existe una revisión que sintetice la información sobre características y usabilidad de geolocalizadores en personas mayores. Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia existente sobre las características y usabilidad de dispositivos de geolocalización en personas mayores. Metodología: Se realizó la búsqueda de artículos científicos en las bases de datos: Medline vía PubMed, Lilacs y Google Scholar que cumplieran con los criterios de elegibilidad, entre el 1 de agosto de 2018 hasta el 30 de noviembre de 2020, y se seleccionó 11 documentos. Para la identificación de artículos se utilizó las palabras clave "Geolocalizador", "elderly", "aged" y "older adults". Resultados: La edad promedio de las personas participantes fue de 60,5, predominaron los estudios en género femenino, la población residía en su mayoría (63 %) en la comunidad y el 36,6 % padecía algún trastorno cognitivo. En cuanto a las características de los geolocalizadores, el 72 % de los dispositivos tiene un alcance de radio urbano y el 54 % tiene un costo bajo o gratuito en su implementación o ejecución. Conclusión: Esta revisión caracterizó los dispositivos de geolocalización y su uso en personas mayores en cuanto a su radio de alcance, costo, objetivos de intervención y población objetivo. Estos resultados podrían ser útiles para futuras investigaciones en el Ôrea de la gerontolocalización.

    Objective: To determine the effects of a telerehabilitation (TR) program on the level of functional independence and the number of falls in older people attending a day care center. Materials and method: 14 older people (xĢ„ = 74 years), submitted to a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy (PT) program through telerehabilitation for a period of 12 weeks. The control group received educational intervention through a physical activity booklet which they had to develop independently, with weekly telephone supervision, while the experimental group received 15 kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy sessions via video calls through WhatsAppTM application. Both groups were evaluated pre and post intervention with the Barthel index scale (BI) and the number of falls using the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Results: The experimental group increased the Barthel index scale score (↑3,6) while the control group decreased this score (↓6,9). Both groups decreased the number of falls, without differences between groups. When comparing both groups, the elderly who underwent a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy program through telerehabilitation showed significantly greater improvements in Barthel index scale than the control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Older people who participated in a kinesitherapy / physiotherapy / physical therapy program through telerehabilitation presented a higher level of functional independence compared to participants in the intervention with a phone call-guided physical activity booklet, which suggests a telerehabilitation programs as an alternative therapeutics to improve the level of independence in older people. Keywords: Elderly; Telerehabilitation; Independent Living; Accidental Falls; Clinical Trial
