Un adieu au macho espagnol ibérique? Une analyse de la masculinité en Espagne. Échanges avec des experts
2019
The traditional model of masculinity in Spain (the so-called Spanish Macho) is heir to a long tradition of understanding how masculinity is framed as an omnipotent model assuming that “a man has license to do whatever he wants”. This idealized behavioral pattern is slowly changing in Spain, as it accompanies the transformations in Spanish society. Certain public policies have provided momentum for a change in the way that the issue of gender in general and gender violence in particular are approached. A study carried out under the auspices of the University of Valencia between 2013 and 2015 interviewed experts and activists from an association of men seeking equality with women in an attemp…

Emotional intelligence, resilience and personality traits neuroticism and extraversion: predictive capacity in perceived academic efficacy.
2021
Abstract Background Recent studies have shown the importance of promoting emotional intelligence and resilience, as well as knowing the personality (extraversion versus emotional instability or neuroticism) in both nursing students and nursing professionals, for better academic adherence, due to stressful situations derived from high academic and attendance requirements for healthcare practices in clinical settings. However, there is little research that analyzes the importance of the perceived academic effectiveness of university students and its relationship with the psychological variables of resilience, emotional intelligence and personality. Objective To analyse the relationships betwe…
Le burn-out en réanimation : évaluation, prévention et dispositifs d’intervention
2020
Les professionnels de réanimation sont confrontés de façon répétitives et intenses à de nombreux facteurs de stress les rendant plus vulnérables au développement d’un burn-out. Le burn-out constitue le stade final d’une rupture d’adaptation suite à un déséquilibre entre les exigences professionnelles et les ressources de l’individu. Il affecte directement la santé mentale et physique des professionnels et est associé à une diminution de la qualité et de la sécurité des soins et à une augmentation des départs des professionnels les plus expérimentés pour d’autres services. En réanimation de nombreuses études ont été menées sur les professionnels et les organisations lancent des appels à l’ac…

Standardised functional assessment in long-term care for older people: perspective of Finnish care workers
2021
Objective measures and documentation are increasingly used in the care for older people to promote efficiency and productivity. A standardised assessment of functional capacity is one such measure. In this study, we examined the meanings given to standardised functional assessment by care workers who provide long-term care for older people. Gathered from eight Finnish long-term care facilities, the data consisted of one-on-one interviews with practical and registered nurses (n = 24). In the data analysis, we employed the discursive approach. We identified three discourses in the care workers’ talks that differed in the meaning given to standardised functional assessment in the process of ca…
Association Between Gait Speed With Mortality, Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
