COVID-19 disease was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The new coronavirus was recognized for its dangerousness, high level of contagion and spreading among the population. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (2020) declared the pandemic. The purpose was to document and analyze the life experiences of a group of researchers facing risk and disaster during the COVID-19 pandemic in a year of confinement. These life experiences were systematized through a critical interdisciplinary individual and collective process of learning and co-construction. A qualitative methodology was used from an interpretative perspective using the self-report survey and the focus group. The theoretical references to analyze the experiences were Benjamin (1933/1999), De Alba et al. (2016), Dewey (2002), Díaz (1997), Dubet (2011), Hochschild (1979), Larrosa (2006), and Llanos (2017) To review the data, discourse analysis was used and mental maps and narrative fragments of self-reports were used as instruments to represent said data. Life experiences refer to 292 descriptive words. Most frequently: disaster, government, death, pandemic, and risk. The researchers' experience during the pandemic had negative and positive consequences on a personal and family level. Psychological repercussions were manifested. The negative aspect of this experience was triggered by ignorance of the disease, danger, and loss of control over the situation. Changes and adjustments in family life, work, routines, relationships, loss of mobility, freedoms, and human contact, adapting and surviving, contradictions by authorities, institutional inability, and lack of knowledge to face the epidemic were highlighted. The significant and positive aspects were manifested at a personal and family level, in terms of the meaning of life, the value of social relationships and the relationship with nature, the skills and the learning identified. This work contributes to the understanding of risk and disaster from comprehensive perspectives and multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches that include the experiences of the subjects. Risk is an axis that articulates knowledge, experience and interdisciplinarity, which allows new ways of generating changes in behavior and more comprehensive visions to coexist with risk with better preparation and with less loss and damage. This work contributes to the understanding of risk and disaster from comprehensive perspectives and multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches that include the experiences of the subjects. This work contributes to the understanding of risk and disaster from comprehensive perspectives and multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches that include the subjects' experiences. Emotional experiences during the pandemic are highly evident. Recognizing the effect that these emotional experiences have on people's health, it is necessary to generate greater personal and social capacities and tools to manage them and to anticipate physical and mental illnesses and premature deaths. The experience of the pandemic accentuated the preponderance of human behavior during the disaster, its consequences, and its management. Preparedness and behavior change are required to support the resilience of individuals and communities in the face of disasters. Likewise, it is imperative to acknowledge the importance of human behavior to achieve a culture of life, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and community health, risk prevention and disaster preparedness. The lifestyles and human behaviors promoted in modern capitalist societies (individualism, consumerism, banality, a separation from nature, nihilism, among others), as this pandemic has confirmed, are unsustainable for maintaining health and achieving a social relationship of harmony and respect with nature, coexistence, cooperation, restoration and balance of processes and support to guarantee the various dimensions of health. Gaining experience means knowing and deciding what to stop doing in everyday life in order to avoid new disasters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Educational psychologists have studied different conceptions of school learning that have focused mainly on the acquisition of knowledge, emotional skills, cognitive skills and social skills, but have neglected person al reflective learning, which is necessary for children and adolescents to successfully manage their daily lives in their role as children, siblings or students, as well as assume those roles in a critical way with responsibility of their actions. To analyze this issue, a review of the literature is made, and based on it the author points out a new critical conception of learning, which allows them to guide children and adolescents as thoughtful and responsible people who can make the right decisions. at each stage of their development, and in the different roles they must assume in their daily lives.

Frente a la existencia de diferentes formas familiares y para comprender el significado que el ser humano desde su diversidad le da a la familia, se realizó un estudio narrativo con enfoque cualitativo, usando como técnica la entrevista semiestructurada. Participaron integrantes de tres formas familiares: homoparental, con hijos producto de inseminación y adoptiva. Emergieron cinco categorías: definición de familia, aceptación, crianza, actitudes del medio familiar y social. El análisis concluye que el ser humano, desde su diversidad, le da un significado a la familia a partir de sus vivencias, sin diferenciar género, roles o funciones; por tanto, exigen derechos igualitarios frente a la conformación y dinámica familiar de los diferentes modelos y formas familiares, evidenciado la necesidad de ampliar la mirada sobre los significados atribuidos a la familia.

El objetivo fue conocer el vínculo entre la vivienda, la salud y la calidad de vida en un contexto de regeneración de viviendas sociales, a partir de las experiencias y percepciones de sus habitantes, indagando en aquellos mecanismos que sostienen este vínculo antes de la regeneración, y en aquellos elementos derivados de la regeneración de la vivienda que se materializan en mejoras en la calidad de vida y potencialmente en la salud. Entre 1980 y los 2000, Chile enfrentó un masivo déficit cuantitativo de vivienda mediante una política que entregó más de 120.000 departamentos de vivienda social de bajo costo. Hoy en día, miles presentan severos problemas de habitabilidad, generando consecuencias negativas para sus habitantes, su salud y bienestar. Buscando dar solución al deterioro de la vivienda y el espacio público, el Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo desarrolló el Programa de Regeneración de Conjuntos Habitacionales. El proyecto RUCAS busca evaluar los efectos del programa en la salud y evidenciar el impacto de intervenciones como éstas en poblaciones vulnerables en Latinoamérica. Se presentan resultados de 8 entrevistas y 2 grupos focales realizados en un conjunto de vivienda social en proceso de intervención en Viña del Mar. Usando análisis de contenido discursivo, los resultados muestran que la mala calidad material de la vivienda se percibe como dañino para la salud. La vivienda regenerada en tanto, promueve la recuperación y re-apropiación de los espacios y sus usos, la sociabilidad, nuevas prácticas saludables, sentimientos positivos y bienestar psicológico, emergiendo el componente psicosocial de la relación de las personas con su vivienda. Se concluye que la regeneración de la vivienda tiene el potencial de beneficiar a la salud física y mental por mecanismos tanto directos, devenidos de la materialidad renovada, como indirectos relacionados con las prácticas y experiencias en el espacio habitado.

Resumen: La vejez de las mujeres mayores suele ser descrita como una etapa en la que se vivencian múltiples cambios y pérdidas, donde se acrecientan las discriminaciones de género. Sin embargo, poco se ha explorado la experiencia biográfica al envejecer. En este artículo, identificamos como construyen narrativamente trayectorias de acción política mujeres mayores activistas de la Agrupación Bordadoras por la Memoria de la ciudad de Valparaíso-Chile. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo con entrevistas biográficas siguiendo la propuesta de relatos de vida. Sus itinerarios biográficos dan cuenta de un continuum en su acción política y un cuestionamiento al sistema neoliberal. Por medio de sus bordados, contribuyen a la lucha por la memoria y la justicia social. Resignifican su activismo en la vejez, incluyendo nuevos repertorios de acción y proyectos, mediante prácticas de sororidad. Concluimos la importancia de disputar la vejez desde el ciclo vital convencional, dando cabida a trayectorias femeninas agencializadas.

La experiencia de hospitalización en personas con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia puede estar caracterizada por eventos negativos. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo basado en el análisis fenomenológico interpretativo (AFI) para comprender la experiencia de hospitalización en una clínica psiquiátrica. Los participantes fueron tres usuarios que respondieron a entrevistas semiestructuradas, analizadas a través de los lineamientos del AFI. Los resultados indicaron tres temas maestros: la persona en la esquizofrenia, las experiencias previas a la hospitalización, y la hospitalización como una experiencia compleja. El análisis permite considerar la importancia del ingreso voluntario o involuntario en la experiencia de admisión, la angustia e incertidumbre por falta de información, la escasa participación en el proceso de tratamiento, y la percepción de inseguridad dentro de las instituciones de internación. Por otra parte, se hizo mención al rechazo al uso de la contención o aislamiento, la falta de actividades, el énfasis en la medicación, el diagnóstico y los síntomas, así como la actitud deshumanizada de algunos profesionales de la salud mental. Se requiere más investigación respecto a la eficacia de la internación en unidades de salud mental y la superioridad frente a otras alternativas basadas en la comunidad.

Objetivou-se analisar as experiências de discriminação racial sofrida por negros. Estudo exploratório, descritivo e transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, recorte da pesquisa maior intitulada: Experiências de Discriminação Sofridas por Negros, realizada de setembro a novembro de 2021, com 205 participantes negros/negras de estados brasileiros. O instrumento utilizado foi a Escala de Experiências de Discriminação, além da coleta de dados sociodemográficos, ambos por meio de formulário on-line. Destacaram-se, como maioria, participantes do sexo feminino, 71,4% (n=145); com faixa etária entre 20 e 25 anos, 59,0% (n=118); residentes no estado do Ceará, 75,9% (n=98). Com relação ao tratamento injusto relacionado à discriminação racial, observou-se que os participantes tentam alguma coisa ao ser tratado injustamente. Voltando-se às experiências de discriminação, constatou-se que os negros costumam falar com outras pessoas ao sofrerem com alguma experiência de discriminação racial. Evidenciou-se que os participantes constantemente sofrem com experiências de discriminação racial em diversos espaços e as compartilham com outras pessoas. Os negros, também, se preocupam com o tratamento injusto que eles e outras pessoas sofrem em razão da cor e raça.

The hospitalization experience in people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be characterized by negative events. A qualitative study based on interpretive phenomenological analysis (AFI) was carried out to understand the experience of hospitalization in a psychiatric clinic. The participants were three users who responded to semi-structured interviews, analyzed through the AFI guidelines. The results indicated three master themes: the person in schizophrenia, experiences prior to hospitalization, and hospitalization as a complex experience. The analysis allows considering the importance of voluntary or involuntary admission in the admission experience, the anguish and uncertainty due to the lack of information and participation in the treatment process, the perception of insecurity within the institutionalization. On the other hand, the rejection of the use of restraint and isolation, the lack of activities, the emphasis on medication, diagnosis, and symptoms, as well as the dehumanized attitude of some mental health professionals. More research is required regarding the efficacy of placement in mental health units and its superiority over other community-based alternatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to understand young mothers' experience on the breastfeeding process. It is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach whose data were obtained from maternal narratives in educational workshops, from May to June 2017. The narratives were submitted to thematic content analysis techniques. The experiences about the breastfeeding process were summarized in the themes: breastfeeding: a challenging experience; breastfeeding: an experience supported by the family; and breastfeeding: a socially and culturally conditioned experience. It is suggested that new studies with young women, from different social, cultural and educational levels, using other research designs are carried out, outlining the profile of young nursing mothers and their needs in the breastfeeding process, so that there are subsidies to propose interventions in clinical nursing practice that will provide the necessary support to these women in the act of breastfeeding.

Infectious disease coronavirus 2019 (COVID19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a recent-onset coronavirus (2019 -nCoV) that was first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The genetic sequence of the virus suggests that it is a betacoronavirus, closely related to the SARS virus. The main objective of this study is to know the experiences of the nursing staff, in the Internal Medicine hospitalization units, in times of COVID-19, at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Tenerife in order to find out strategic intervention measures that help cope with these situations in the event of a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus outbreak. It is a qualitative research of a phenomenological type. It has been decided on this type of study due to the greater proximity to the reality experienced by the nursing staff as they are in the first line of care for patients infected by the virus. After the results obtained, the nursing staff agrees that when a situation of these characteristics, such as a pandemic, occurs to us at the beginning, there is confusion and disorder. The days go by and the protocols and circuits are established and the feeling of security during shifts is established. In conclusion, we consider it essential to maintain continuous training and psychological care for nursing personnel in pandemic situations; Since throughout this process, feelings and emotions intensify and many adverse circumstances occur that can make daily care practice difficult.

Objetivo: profundizar en el conocimiento sobre las vivencias y el soporte percibido en cuidadoras primarias que atendieron a pacientes dependientes en tratamiento con hemodiálisis durante el periodo de pandemia por COVID-19 en la ciudad de Madrid. Material y Método: estudio transversal efectuado con diez cuidadoras primarias de pacientes en tratamiento de hemodiálisis que habían proporcionado cuidados durante el periodo de marzo 2020 a junio 2021. La recolección de los datos se realizó mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a distancia hasta conseguir la saturación de las unidades de significado. Se realizó un análisis cualitativo fenomenológico mediante el método de siete pasos de Colaizzi. Resultados: del análisis de los discursos emergieron dimensiones asociadas a diferentes subcategorías: miedo inicial sobre la enfermedad, pérdida de libertad, riesgo percibido durante el transporte, soporte percibido por parte de los centros de diálisis, capacidad de resiliencia, miedo a la muerte e impacto de la vacunación. Conclusiones: en la etapa álgida del brote epidémico las vivencias de las cuidadoras estuvieron muy influidas por el desconocimiento de la enfermedad y el miedo al contagio. Adaptaron medidas de auto prevención para mantener a salvo a su familiar. Apreciaron la seguridad proporcionada por los profesionales de los centros. Les preocupaba los riesgos inherentes a los traslados y la falta de soporte de los servicios sociales. Son conscientes de su propia fragilidad y la de la persona cuidada y no perciben grandes cambios ni en su forma de vida ni en su esperanza de futuro, pese a la vacunación y otros adelantos científicos.

Introducción: El incremento del número de personas adultas, en situación de dependencia, discapacidad y con necesidades de cuidado, ha generado el surgimiento de los cuidadores familiares, quienes asumen esta responsabilidad, sin la formación o conocimientos previos, situación que puede comprometer el desempeño de este nuevo rol y sus resultados en el receptor de cuidado. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un Scoping Review con la metodología de Arksey y O’Malley, que incluyó la revisión de los estudios disponibles en bases de datos en línea, en idioma inglés y español, a partir de lo cual se extrajo información relacionada con la asunción del rol de cuidador familiar novel de adultos en situación de dependencia. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 42 artículos y surgieron cinco temas; que incluyen, las tendencias sociodemográficas, la trayectoria y dinámicas a lo largo del tiempo, las transiciones que implica el nuevo rol, la participación en la toma de decisiones y los dominios e impactos en quien ejerce el cuidado. Discusión: Se evidenció que ejercer el rol de cuidador familiar novel de personas en situación de dependencia, implica adquirir una serie de competencias, conocimientos, y habilidades, además; de requerir un adecuado soporte social, aspectos que deben ser explorados, reconocidos y abordados por Enfermería. Conclusiones: Este estudio proporciona información para comprender las experiencias e implicaciones que tiene convertirse en cuidador novel, de forma que los profesionales de la salud adapten las intervenciones destinadas a apoyar a los cuidadores y mejorar su bienestar.

Introduction: An increase in the number of adults with dependencies, disabilities or care needs has led to the emergence of family caregivers, who regularly assume this responsibility without any previous training or knowledge, which may result in compromising their performance in this new role and their outcomes in care recipients. Materials and Methods: A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's scoping framework, which included the review of studies in English and Spanish that are available in online databases to extract the information related to the adoption of the role of novice family caregiver of dependent adults. Results: A total of 42 articles was selected from which five major themes were identified, including sociodemographic trends, course and dynamics over time, transitions involved in this new role, participation in decision making, and domains and impacts on caregivers. Discussion: Performing the role of a novice family caregiver of dependent adults involves acquiring a series of competencies, knowledge and skills, as well as requiring adequate social support, all of which are aspects that should be explored, recognized and addresses by nursing professionals. Conclusions: This study provides information to understand the experiences and implications of becoming a novice caregiver, thus enabling healthcare professionals to adapt interventions aimed to support caregivers and improve their well-being.

Palabras clave: Bancos de leche, experiencias de vida, leche materna.

El texto es un avance del trabajo de investigación en la Maestría en Educación, titulado “RELACIONES INTERPERSONALES Y SU INCIDENCIA EN EL AULA”, cuyo interrogante es ¿De qué manera las experiencias de vida de los estudiantes influyen en las relaciones interpersonales dentro del aula?, el propósito es identificar las situaciones que afectan las relaciones interpersonales de los educandos en el salón de clase, así como promover la construcción de las experiencias de vida de los estudiantes del grado 7-04 del Silvino Rodríguez. El asidero metodológico se basa en la investigación cualitativa que utiliza diferentes métodos, uno de ellos es la investigación acción ya que implica necesariamente a los participantes en la autorreflexión sobre su situación a través de las experiencias de vida, buscando una sana convivencia donde los estudiantes cambien sus actitudes y aprendan a resolver conflictos de una forma pacífica. Uno de los resultados obtenidos a partir del cuestionario como técnica de recolección es que se evidencian situaciones como, ofensas verbales y físicas, falta de tolerancia, rechazo y descalificación de unos hacia otros, lo que ratifica que las relaciones interpersonales no son las mejores. Desde este escenario se plantean talleres reflexivos, que preparen a los estudiantes a relatar en el escrituario de manera personal y espontánea la experiencia individual de los acontecimientos más significativos de su vida, esto con el fin de evocar en ellos sus emociones para revisarlas, enriquecerlas y reflexionar acerca de su convivencia en aula.

Introducción: La Esclerosis Múltiple es la enfermedad neurológica más común entre la población de 20 a 30 años. Sin embargo, se cuenta con escasa evidencia científica cualitativa publicada, y la que se logra localizar, no aborda los tópicos desarrollados en esta investigación. Objetivo: Comprender las estrategias de afrontamiento mediante la experiencia de vida de las personas con Esclerosis Múltiple pertenecientes a la Corporación Pacientes Esclerosis Múltiple Talca, Chile. Metodología: Estudio fenomenológico descriptivo con abordaje cualitativo. Participaron siete personas mayores de 18 años diagnosticadas con Esclerosis Múltiple. Se realizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas en profundidad, seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia hasta la saturación de datos. Durante toda la investigación se respetaron los principios éticos de Ezequiel Emanuel. Resultados: las personas con Esclerosis Múltiple reportan desde su experiencia de vida estrategias de afrontamiento innatas, como Predisposición personal; Autoestima y Funcionalidad y adquiridas como Redes de apoyo (principalmente familiar y equipo de salud). Conclusiones: Las experiencias de vida de las personas con Esclerosis Múltiple son diversas y varían de persona a persona, dependiendo de innumerables factores biopsicosociales, sin embargo, dentro de estos factores destacan Estrategias de Afrontamiento, tanto innatas como adquiridas, sumado a otras características como sexo, edad, entre otras.

Objective: To determine the level of uncertainty regarding the disease and the importance of the factors that influence the experience of caregivers of children aged 0 to 14 years hospitalized in neonatal and pediatric ICU. Materials and methods: mixed research, with systematic integration of quantitative and qualitative methods, through the analytical triangulation of the results, the quantitative sample consisted of 285 caregivers of children admitted to the ICU and 10 key informants in the qualitative component. Results: The global uncertainty in the surveyed population was: regular, with 57%, high in 36%, only 7% presented low level; The qualitative categories were: difficult experience, unpredictability, paternal bond, support, quality of attention, spirituality, hope and unique experience. The analytical triangulation showed the applicability of the theoretical postulates in the context. Conclusion: Uncertainty is a unique experience, framed by feelings and emotions generate a new perspective, delineated by factors associated with the state of health, such as: ambiguity, lack of clarity and information about the facts experienced by children. Communication with health personnel is relevant, since it allows the caregiver to develop effective coping strategies, reduce negative feelings, promote links, support and capacity to accept events.

Suicidal behaviors occur mainly during adolescence and when people face highly demanding circumstances. The objective of this work was to characterize the prevalence of suicidal behavior in adolescents of the High Threat Zone of the Galeras Volcano -ZAVA-, and to establish its association with demographic and psychological variables. The sample consisted of 154 adolescents enrolled in educational institutions located in the ZAVA, in whom the presence of suicidal behavior, depression, despair, self-esteem, social support and vital events were evaluated. The prevalence for suicidal ideas in the course of life was 17.5%, for plans 6% and for attempts 8%. Suicidal behaviors were related to sex, depression, hopelessness and number of stressful life events. It is concluded that adolescents constitute a population with a risk of autolytic behaviors, demanding actions to face this situation, from a public view of mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To get an insight into the structure and dynamics of the original families of five teenage mothers through their life stories and their own experiences. Materials and methods: Qualitative study with a narrative approach based on the life stories of five teenage mothers delivered at Engativá Hospital. Semistructured interviews were used to gain insight into the organization and structure of their original families. Emerging categories were identified by means of text hermeneutics, and results were validated using triangulation across researchers. Results: The nuclear families of the pregnant women interviewed were characterized by the inability to deal with conflict appropriately, separations, structuring of new homes, confusion regarding roles, and matriarchal authority; reconstituted homes where the girls lived their own lives on the edge, where little value was attached to education, and where sexual and affective education were ambiguous and contradictory; families with expulsive dynamics where the teenage mother found herself having to survive on her own. Conclusions: Our pregnant adolescents live in the midst of families with unfavorable structure and dynamics that prevent the nuclear family from responding appropriately to teenage pregnancy. Consequently, pregnancy is an unplanned and rarely desired outcome, and a situation in which the family just normalizes the pregnancy when it occurs. In this context, pregnant adolescents are the result of a chain of inequities, where schooling is not valued and competencies for coping with life cannot growfully to become an input for development. The noticeable resilience of one of the participants points to the need to undertake new studies focusing on identifying those traits of the individual, the family and the couple that increase their ability to adapt to the new situation.

The experience of being hospitalized in an intensive care unit generates anxiety, distress, and stress in a person. Patients with coronary artery disease require special care in these units. Therefore, situations, perceptions, feelings and experiences of the patient during their stay in the unit constitute significant elements of their experience. Objective: This study aimed to know the meaning of those experiences in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit of a clinic in Barranquilla. Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive study, with a phenomenological approach, in which nine patients between 59 and 74 years who were hospitalized in a coronary intensive care unit with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction were interviewed. As a research strategy, Colaizzi method was used, following each of the suggested steps, and preserving the relevant ethical rigor. Results:Four categories which reveal thoroughly the studied phenomenon were identified: 1) The first contact with the unit; 2) The downside of being hospitalized in the unit; 3) Trust in God; and 4) Loss of time perception. Conclusions: The experiences expressed by participants corroborate what was found in similar studies, which converge in stating that admission to the intensive care unit generates a series of negative feelings in the person, which mark a significant life experience, but also influence positive aspects derived from humanized care nursing staff.

Life scripts are shared cultural expectations about a selected group of events that occur during the life of a common individual in a certain culture. Life scripts are, therefore, normative expectations within a given culture regarding individual life patterns. We conducted a thematic analysis on 2,688 life script events indicated by 384 adults, mostly from the south and southeast regions of Brazil (70.3 women %). Following previous studies, we identified 74 events, or groups of events, common to other cultures; 30 events not mentioned by our participants; and 40 events specifically yielded by our analysis. Results show that first-time events play a special role on life scripts of Brazilians, as well as contents such as attending political events and post-graduate education. Methodological considerations on the qualitative analyses required to identify life events are discussed. Future studies may investigate prevalence, importance, valence, and gender and age differences with Brazilian participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
