Full textLos sujetos de estudio han sido 240 cuidadores familiares de personas dependientes en el domicilio de la provincia de Barcelona
Las variables de estudio han sido: Características de la persona dependiente y del cuidador, cuidados que presta el cuidador para ayudar a la persona dependiente y repercusiones que ocasiona el cuidar en el cuidador familiar.
El instrumento de medición ha sido el cuestionario ICUB97©.
Para reducir el número de ítems del cuestionario original ICUB97©, se ha realizado un Análisis Factorial de Componentes Principales (ACP). Posteriormente se ha procedido a la validación de la versión reducida del cuestionario ICUB97© (validez de constructo, de contenido y de criterio). Finalmente se ha verificado la practicabilidad de la versión reducida, administrándolo a una muestra de cuidadores familiares de personas dependientes en el domicilio para evaluar el grado de comprensión del mismo y el tiempo requerido para su administración.
Los resultados hallados permiten presentar las siguientes conclusiones referentes a la calidad de vida de los cuidadores familiares:
- Los cuidadores familiares (esencialmente mujeres, de mediana edad) realizan cuidados instrumentales, cuidados personales relacionados con las actividades básicas de la vida diaria y cuidados de tipo psicosocial para aten-der a su familiar dependiente.
- Los cuidadores familiares manifiestan que cuidar les provoca problemas físicos, manifestaciones psicológicas, dificultades en la gestión de su tiempo, menos relaciones sociales, alteraciones familiares y han visto reducida su economía.
- Las mujeres cuidan más que los hombres y perciben peor calidad de vida que éstos. La magnitud de cuidados y la afectación en la calidad de vida de los cuidadores aumenta a medida que aumenta en nivel de dependencia de la persona cuidada y en aquellos casos en los que el cuidador presta cuidados a un familiar con una enfermedad neurodegenerativa. La percepción de una mala salud por parte del cuidador, la magnitud de cuidados y unas relaciones difíciles con el enfermo influyen en una peor calidad de vida del cuidador.
- Las variables más predictivas de sobrecarga en el cuidador son el nivel de dependencia para las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria de la persona cuidada, los cuidados que realiza el cuidador para ayudar en el descanso y en la comunicación del enfermo, la edad del cuidador y por último los cuidados que realiza el cuidador para ayudar al enfermo en el movimiento.
Las conclusiones referentes a la elaboración y validación de una versión reducida del cuestionario ICUB97© son:
- El análisis factorial realizado ha permitido la elaboración de la versión reducida del cuestionario ICUB97©. Se han obtenido tres factores referentes a los cuidados que presta el cuidador y tres factores referentes a las repercusiones en la calidad de vida del El cuestionario reducido se denomina ICUB97-R.
- El cuestionario ICUB97-R ha demostrado una validez de constructo al haberse contrastado un gran número de las hipótesis planteadas.
- El cuestionario ICUB97-R ha demostrado su validez de criterio, en tanto en cuanto se han obtenido unas correlaciones entre constructos semejante o incluso iguales entre la versión reducida y el cuestionario original.
- Tanto el cuestionario ICUB97© como el cuestionario ICUB97-R presentan una elevada consistencia interna.
- El cuestionario ICUB97-R ha demostrado ser preciso, y breve, ya que su cumplimentación requiere solamente entre 8 - 10 minutos.
PALABRAS CLAVE: Cuidadores familiares, cuidado informal, sobrecarga del cuidador, cuestionario ICUB97©, validación de cuestionarios.
General objectives of the study were familiy caregivers' quality of life assessment as well as the validation of a reduced version of the questionnaire ICUB97©.
Subjects of study were 240 family caregivers of dependent persons living in Barcelona area.
Variables studied were: dependent person identification data, familiy caregiver identification data, cares given by the caregiver to help the dependent person to fulfill its 14 fundamental needs acording to V. Henderson (1978) conceptual frame and caregiving consequences upon family cargivers.
ICUB97© questionnaire was the measuring instrument both for cares given as well as for caregiving consequences upon family caregivers.
In order to reduce the number of items in the original ICUB97© questionnaire, a Factorial Analysis of Main Components Principales was performed. Then an ICUB97© reduced version was validated.
The results found lead to the following conclusions about family caregivers quality of life:
- Family caregivers think that caregiving induces on them physical and psychological troubles, time managing difficulties and implies less social relations, family disturbances and economic problems.
- Women are more frequently caregivers than men and experience a worse quality of life than them. Care intensity and quality of life troubles increase with the dependency level of the cared person and when his/her health problem is a neurodegenerative one. The caregiver quality of life is perceived as worse when he or she feels that his health is bad, there is a lot of care to do and the relationship with the cared person is bad.
Conclusions about design and validation of a reduced version of the ICUB97© questionnaire are:
- The reduced version of the ICUB97© questionnaire was produced after the results of a factorial analysis. Three factors were found to be related to the cares given and also three were related to the effects of caregiving upon caregivers' health. The reduced questionnaire was named ICUB97-R.
- ICUB97-R questionnaire showed its validity as many of the hypothesis could be verified and because a high degree of correlation was found with the original questionnaire.
- Both ICUB97© and ICUB97-R showed a high internal consistency.
- ICUB97-R questionnaire has shown to be precise and short enough to be easy to administer.

Full textEsta tesis explora la acción de intercambios y relaciones recíprocas e informales — a veces llamadas soborno, o corrupción — al interior del sistema de salud en Cuba. La investigación fue desarrollada en La Havana durante el otoño de 2018 y fue financiada mediante una beca del programa de Breves Estudios de Campo de la Agencia Sueca de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (Asdi). El estudio hace uso del esquema teórico del institucionalismo para responder a la siguiente pregunta: ¿por qué razón los pacientes están dispuestos a pagar informalmente por servicios de salud supuestamente gratuitos? El estudio muestra, mediante el método de entrevistas, que la percepción del presente informal varía entre los entrevistados; algunos lo consideran una manera de mostrar gratitud, mientras que otros lo consideran una forma de corrupción. Sin embargo, existe consenso entre los entrevistados, y también de acuerdo a investigaciones anteriores, en que el acceso a relaciones personales dentro del sistema de salud puede influenciar la calidad del servicio, y asegurar mejor acceso a recursos médicos. El estudio concluye que los obsequios pueden funcionar como una manera de crear o fortalecer amistades — una función importante en la vida de los cubanos — lo que puede resultar en un mejor acceso al servicio de salud.

Full textThis thesis analyses the contribution of bioethics in respect to patient autonomy and patient rights to the health care information received. The influence of different ways of understanding autonomy and health care in the forms and contents of information and clinical relationship is discussed. With the objective of researching the experience of the patients, the thesis proposes three questions: what is the meaning and the usefulness of information given by health care professionals? what are the aids or benefits and the difficulties in obtaining and understand this information? what is the information received from patients associations?. 20 extensive interviews and 2 focus groups were performed in which participants were women with breast cancer and men with coronary disease. Both diseases carry bad news, the patients need a big amount of information, they bring up difficult decisions and they imply daily life changes. The results were classified in 3 groups, 9 categories and 27 sub categories. The participants pointed out the utility of the information to understand and give sense to their experience, and underlined its importance to face daily life and the possibility for them to be able to take safe decisions. The participants wanted to receive the information and they participated actively and refused to be replaced by family members. However in general, the information obtained was standardized, focused on the disease and on obtaining informed consent. As positive professional attitudes, patients pointed out aspects such as the availability of the professionals, being listened to, the friendliness and the demonstrated interest. As negative professional attitudes they pointed out manifestations of power, the use of technical language, the professionals not listening to the patient, and not giving information. The participants pointed out the influence of the management on the clinic relation, specifically in the short number of professionals and there mobility. The work raises 7 conclusions: 1. The need to advance in the understanding of relational autonomy. 2. The relevance of veracity as a rule in information. 3. The current low ethical validity of informed consent raises doubts about the obtaining and utility or such consent documents. 4. The need to better understands the role of the patient's family whit an accompaniment role, and not letting them take the decisions for the patient. 5. The importance of professional conduct that demonstrate ethical values and principles. 6. The ethic responsibility of the institutions combining the efficiency of the system with the need of people's help. 7. The reliability of information provided by associations and self-help groups.

Full textDet kritiska tillståndet för den kubanska internetanslutningen har inspirerat flertalet informella lokala innovationer. Ett exempel på en sådan innovation är El Paquete, vars lösning går ut på distribution av nedladdat innehåll som sprids veckovis genom ett informellt nätverk. Jag har undersökt hur detta nätverk fungerar i en resursfattig miljö genom att undersöka användarupplevelser ur ett postkolonialt perspektiv. I denna undersökning framförs en modell av El Paquete som inriktas på sociala interaktioner, vilket utgör systemets funktioner men som också formar El Paquete’s design och samhällsroll. Baserat på denna modell undersöks möjligheterna till att effektivisera El Paquete’s sammanställning, genom ett antal olika spekulativa designövningar som inkluderar konsumentpreferenser i designinriktning, eller som ett avbrottstolerant nätverk. Dessa designer belyser hur dagens tekniska möjligheter med El Paquete är till nytta för kubanska samhällen genom förkroppsligandet av deras verklighet och begränsningar. El Paquete’s förkroppsligande av informell innovation fungerar som en uppmaning till designers att kontinuerligt ompröva utvecklingen av designprocesser som fokuserar på samhällets kunskap och tekniska praxis.

Full textThe generic approach of this study starts from the restlessness and the reflection to know aspects related to the act of caring to the institutionalized elderly people. The research focuses on formal (nurses) and informal (family member) caregivers, with the intention of looking for aspects that may explain quality care conditions in the present moment and in future perspectives. The present study describes the main characteristics, experiences, assessments and quality of life related to the health status of the formal and informal caregivers who care for elderly people, in order to provide data that can contribute to improve care for the institutionalized person in a residence and their caregivers. The approach to this objective is made through a research, mainly, qualitative descriptive, with some quantitative contributions. The research method is based on phenomenology. The study is based on the knowledge derived from personal interviews with the formal and informal caregivers of dependent elderly persons institutionalized in geriatric residences attended by Residential Care Teams (E.A.R) in an area of Barcelona city. The instruments used were a questionnaire (EuroQol-5D), and a semi-structured interview. There are 26 individual interviews, 13 for formal caregivers and 13 for informal caregivers. The results show that formal caregivers, mostly women, are young, skilled and trained. Formal caregivers care for the elderly are gratifying, and experience satisfaction with life in general, work, and social relationships. As for informal caregivers, also mostly women, middle-aged and retired, married, with children. Everyone values positively the nurses who care for their family member, and attribute them professionalism, experience and caring knowledge. They want to be happy with the services provided by the residence, particularly for the good treatment of the professionals. In conclusion, formal caregivers emphasize the importance of creating a family environment; Informal caregivers value positively the care they offer and inform they learned humanistic values in their caregiver-patient relationship; the future is based on active aging and person-centered approaches, and training professionals and family members will be important.

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to propose a theoretical model for the subgenre of testimonials of social empowerment. With the concept of empowerment as groundwork, the model develops a textual approach framed in a psychosocial structure. I argue that testimonials may be described as examples of Jürgen Habermas’s communicative action. As speech acts aimed at reaching understanding, testimonials capitalize both on the binding and bonding aspects of illocutionary force in the hope to secure with their audience an ongoing dialogue over issues of social justice. The volumes, as unofficial public spheres, mobilize the normative and practical dynamics at work in social movements. These dynamics express as two narrative guiding threads: an aesthetic based on impact, and an ethics based on responsibility. The texts’ aesthetic develops a form of perlocutionary realism instantiating a sense of authenticity and sincerity embodied in the narrators’ voices. The resulting impact is coupled to moral concerns based on a polysemic understanding of social responsibility, on which narrators seek to build their narratives’ ethical potential. A series of case studies allowed to demonstrate that both narrative threads are realized as an appropriation of four paradigmatic forms of rhetorical ethos, each based on a specific realm of the social world: intimacy, justice, spirituality and activism.

Full textIntrodução: O respeito pela dignidade do Homem é, desde há vários séculos, uma preocupação de inúmeras sociedades. O objetivo derradeiro do inquérito empírico é melhorar os cuidados de saúde. Embora muitos princípios da bioética tenham sido derivados de inquérito e reflexão filosófica, a pesquisa empírica é necessária como um bem essencial para avançar de forma bem fundamentada e bem informada. Objetivos: construir e validar uma versão mais curta da escala de atitudes perante os direitos à informação e ao consentimento, elaborada por José Carlos Martins, uma escala tipo Likert com 31 itens e cinco possibilidades de resposta em cada item. Métodos: Análise dos principais componentes da escala de José Carlos Martins e respetiva explicação da variância. Análise dos itens correspondentes aos componentes identificados e seleção das 17 questões da escala original que explicam cerca de 75% da variância. Comparação do alfa de Cronbach das duas escalas e, sendo o mesmo consistente, permitiu a aplicação dos dois questionários. Resultados: Os questionários foram aplicados, em dois momentos distintos, a um grupo de 35 médicos, internos e especialistas, de Medicina Geral e Familiar do Núcleo de Formação da Bairrada. Apesar do coeficiente de correlação de Spearman mostrar uma forte associação entre as duas escalas, o alfa de Cronbach da versão curta da escala (17 itens) foi substancialmente inferior ao da escala original (31 itens). Discussão: Apesar da comparação do alpha de Cronbach efetuado aquando do estudo de construção da versão curta ser favorável à mesma, verifica-se que o alpha de Cronbach encontrado no presente estudo não permite validar essa versão mais curta (17 itens) perante a escala original (31 itens), de atitudes perante os direitos à informação e ao consentimento, apesar de uma correlação significativa entre as duas escalas.
Introduction: Respect for human dignity has, for several centuries, been a concern of countless societies. The ultimate goal of empirical survey is to improve health care. Although many principles of bioethics have been derived from inquiry and philosophical reflection, empirical research is needed as an essential tool for advancing in a structured and well-informed manner. Objectives: To construct and validate a shorter version of the attitudes scale regarding the rights to information and consent, elaborated by José Carlos Martins, a Likert type scale with 31 items and five answer possibilities in each item.Methods: Analysis of the main components from José Carlos Martins scale and its explanation of variance. Analysis of the items corresponding to the identified components and selection of 17 questions from the original scale that explain about 75% of the variance. Comparison of the Cronbach's alpha of the two scales who showed enough consistency to allow the application of both questionnaires. Results: The questionnaires were applied in two different moments, to a group of 35 physicians, ranging from interns to specialists, of General and Family Medicine in Bairrada’s training Center. Although Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a strong association between the two scales, Cronbach's alpha of the short version of the scale (17 items) was substantially lower than the original scale (31 items). Discussion: Despite the comparison of Cronbach's alpha being favorable to the short version of the scale rather than the long one during the study that lead to its construction, we verified that the Cronbach's alpha found in the present study does not allow its validation when compared to the original scale (31 items) of attitudes towards patients rights to information and consent, despite a significant correlation between the two.
