Health-related messages about physical activity promotion: an analysis of photographs on social networking sites of universities
2016
ABSTRACTThe main aim of this study was to examine how different physical activity domains are represented on the official social media sites of Spanish universities, through a content analysis of the photographs. Our results show that the representation of different physical activity domains is not balanced. While the analysed images do promote a message of gender equality in sedentary and leisure time physical activity behaviour, pictures illustrating active commuting and disabled groups were under-represented. We conclude that Internet-based physical activity promotion in university settings must to be guided by the principles of ‘health-promoting universities’ in the sense of promoting a…
La représentation des causes de l'état de santé par les infirmiers et les points de vue envisagés des patients et des aidants naturels : une approche…
2008
This study examines the representation of the determining factors of patients' states of health in therapeutic care situations. We describe the average representation of experienced hospital nurses (n=44) and the differences which they consider to exist between their own and their patients' points of view. Taking as our starting point the purpose of the care provided and the asymmetry of the carer/patient relationship, we hypothesize, on the one hand, that nurses will have a representation of their patients' state of health which is based on the care to be provided, with the factors determining the state of health being necessarily perceived as having a general impact on patients' lives whi…
Spanish Validation of the Polymorphous Prejudice Scale in a Sample of University Students
2016
ABSTRACTThe shortened version of the Polymorphous Prejudice Scale (PPS) analyzes new manifestations of prejudice toward gay men and lesbian women. Specifically, this instrument consists of 16 items distributed in four subscales: values gay progress, positive beliefs about gay men, positive beliefs about lesbian women, and resistance to heteronormative expectations. The aim of the current study is to add new evidence about the reliability and validity of the scale. The scale is administrated to 348 heterosexual university students from Spain with a mean age of 22.62 years (SD = 7.63). Reliability and factorial validity estimates are presented. A four-factor structure is supported using confi…
La coopération transfrontalière en matière de santé comme réponse aux difficultés d’accès aux soins dans un territoire
2018
Introduction De nombreuses personnes rencontrent des difficultes pour acceder aux soins adequats, notamment du fait de leur eloignement geographique et par consequent temporel du lieu qui offre ces soins. Qu’il s’agisse de situations d’urgence ou de protocoles therapeutiques plus longs, l’interdependance entre le territoire et les enjeux d’accessibilite interroge sur la pertinence de la delimitation de cet espace : administrative, juridique, geographique, demographique, ou autre. En outre, s’y ajoute la question de la mobilite des patients, particulierement dans le contexte europeen. Les zones frontalieres concentrent les problematiques liees a l’acces aux soins : a seulement quelques kilom…
Questioning and advising in health counselling: results from a study of Finnish nurse counsellors
2000
The purpose of this study is to describe the main ways in which nurse coun sellors' questions and advice are initiated, received, accepted or refused during health counselling. Thirty-eight health counselling situations were videotaped in a Finnish hospital and the data were examined using adapted conversation analysis. We found two types of health counselling models, which fluctuated during the encounters. Empowerment, 'reciprocal' health counselling began with the nurse counsellors' reflective questioning which took the form of check up questions about the patient's condition, followed by questions about the patient's feelings. The patients' answers guided the conversation. 'Non-recipro c…

Design and setting Thirty-eight videotaped nurse-patient health- counselling sessions that were conducted in a hospital were transcribed verbatim. Method The analysis of the videotaped data was based on the adaptation of Conversation Analysis (CA) and was carried out on a turn-by-turn basis. Results The research material rev…
Infecciones de transmisión sexual en población joven ¿qué mantiene su exposición al riesgo?
2019
Las infecciones de transmisión sexual, suponen uno de los riesgos más prevalentes entre lapoblación joven. En España, su incidencia se ha incrementado en los últimos años, siendo uno los países más afectados de Europa. Si bien se han llevado a cabo distintos esfuerzos preventivos para revertir la situación, no han mostrado la eficacia esperada. Por eso, resulta necesario profundizar en el análisis de aquellos factores que podrían mantener las conductas de riesgo. Así pues, el objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar el papel de factores psicológicos en la prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual entre población joven. Para ello, 984 jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años (32,7% hombres y 67,3…
Photovoice—Towards Engaging and Empowering People with Intellectual Disabilities in Innovation
2020
E-health and welfare technology offer new ways to support health and social care delivery. While initiatives are made to engage disadvantaged user groups in innovation, people with intellectual disabilities tend to be excluded from design activities. This is a concern as this group can benefit from the use of assistive technology. However, it can be time-consuming and challenging to involve end-users in the design of technology. This calls for processes that are creative, empowering and that facilitate user involvement. In this study, we report and reflect on the process of using photovoice to understand user needs and to empower participants with intellectual disability in an innovation pr…
Actitudes de padres, profesionales y población general hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad física e intelectual
2017
Las actitudes negativas hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad siguen siendo motivo de análisis en tanto que constituyen uno de los principales impedimentos para su desarrollo psicosexual. El presente trabajo analiza las actitudes hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad física e intelectual que poseen sus familiares, los profesionales que trabajan con ellos y la población general. Para ello, se utiliza la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Sexualidad en Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (ASEXDI) y la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Sexualidad en Personas con Discapacidad Física (ASEXDF) en una muestra de 300 personas procedentes de tres grupos: 100 familiares, 100 prof…
Secure attachment and individual protective factors against internalized homophobia
2019
This article explores the relationship between internalized homophobia and three main variables: attachment to mother, father, and peers; ego resiliency; and self-esteem. We recruited 51 Italian gay men and 54 lesbian women aged between 18 and 30, and asked them to complete self-report measures. The results showed that internalized homophobia negatively correlated with the security of attachment to father and self-esteem. On the other hand, no significant association was found between ego resiliency and internalized homophobia. The implications of these findings are considered in the discussion, along with the potential role of preventive programs targeting attachment relationships and self…
