Abstract

The Online Internet Survey in Mayores (INMA) is presented, designed to obtain information regarding the use and difficulties in accessing and managing the Internet in elderly people, as well as their relationship with different psychosocial variables. The survey consists of 14 scales through which it is intended to analyze the information that older adults have about the Internet; the use; the training received; the frequency and place of use; purpose with which they use the different internet tools; as well as the barriers of accessibility and usability found and the perceived benefits derived from the use of the internet. Along with this, five scales on self-efficacy in active aging are included; emotional intelligence; general motivation; general social dimension and coping, which will provide the necessary information to study the aforementioned relationships. The INMA survey has been designed to be completed by people over 55 years of age. The survey application will be carried out online. This survey can provide relevant information for the design of scientifically based aid programs and guidelines.
