Ni herois ni víctimes. Representació social del càncer i dels malalts de càncer
2012
Les representacions socials del malalt oncològic proporcionen les nocions i les teories que fan estables i eficaces les relacions que estableix amb el seu entorn. Aquest procés té repercussions en l'estigmatització i la categorització dels malalts oncològics que sovint són vistos i es veuen a si mateixos com a víctimes o com a herois. Tanmateix, malgrat la rellevància del problema en la psicologia social, són pocs els estudis que s'han preocupat d'analitzar- lo. El present article té per objecte l'anàlisi de la representació social del càncer i del malalt oncològic en la població espanyola. Amb aquest fi utilitza associacions lliures i preguntes obertes realitzades a una mostra de dos-cents…

Quasi-markets Targets and the Evaluation of Nursing-home Funding in the Valencian Region
2016
EnglishSpanish long term care is in danger, therefore we propose a change in the nursing home funding system. We use as an example the extremely complex nursing home financing system of Valencian Region. In this region, there are many funding mechanisms: two types of public subsidies, two different accessibility plans, a voucher scheme and a cash benefit approach related to residential service. We evaluate these methods through the quasi-market theory. We find that these approaches have negative impact on equity, efficiency and freedom of choice and we propose a new, homogeneous financing method for all nursing homes through voucher. EnglishLong term care, nursing homes, quasi-markets, vouc…

Health professionals’ attitudes towards this type of psychotherapy are more negative than the attitudes of depressed patients themselves. The aim of this study is to describe the profile of d…
