Resum

La universalització de les xarxes socials en línia ha provocat un debat sobre si el contacte amb familiars i amics en línia té un efecte positiu en el benestar psicològic, com ho ha fet en les relacions directes amb grups primaris. L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar l’ús que es fa de les xarxes socials en línia en una mostra de 164 persones que experimenten una situació de sense llar (PES), i establir la relació amb els seus nivells d’autoestima i satisfacció amb la vida, a partir d’un model de regressió lineal múltiple per a cada variable dependent. Els prin-cipals resultats mostren una alta prevalença d’ús de llocs d’Internet i xarxes socials entre PES, fins i tot lleugerament més alt que la població general. Les variables predictores d’un major grau de benestar estan relacionades amb l’ús de llocs de xarxes socials, especialment a l’estar en contacte amb amics. La cronicitat associada amb la permanèn-cia al carrer és també un factor clau. Hi ha un debat sobre els beneficis de les xarxes socials en línia sobre la salut i la importància que la formació pot tenir per millorar l’accés als serveis especialitzats
