Abstract
Despite the weight they’re getting in recent years, it should be said that Spain is still in the tail of many European countries concerning the frequency with which people over 65 are connected to the Internet regularly and the possibility of using everything that new technologies offer. Some patients understand aromatherapy as a complementary medicine according to their values, beliefs on the nature of life, and spirituality. An observational study with control a group had carried out. The total sample included 23 participants from senior recovery centres during the months of September to October in Extremadura. There is no meaningful evidence that the study population sees new technologies as a tool for staying at home. No meaningful data exist to establish a link between the use of technological devices and the quality of sleep. The sample was poor and comfortable.
