Objective: To describe the effectiveness of using video technology as a social support for family caregivers of people with chronic illness in the city of Girardot. Methodology: The research design was evaluative. The sample group consisted of 50 family caregivers. Results: The main results show that most family caregivers are highly satisfied with the use of video. We enquired two additional open questions, whose answers confirm the data we found with the instrument. These answers also showed that there is a difference in the clearness and depth of the subjects taught with respect to the support usually received.
