El propósito de este artículo es aportar conocimiento sobre la exclusión residencial de las mujeres sin hogar. La exclusión social se produce a partir de procesos o trayectorias de vida en las que las personas se van desvinculando progresivamente de las instituciones sociales que garantizan la integración en nuestra sociedad. En el caso de las mujeres, dichos procesos se vinculan a las desigualdades sociales de género y transcurren de forma invisible a lo largo de sus trayectorias vitales. Para comprenderlos se hace necesario identificar los factores desencadenantes y protectores que inciden en la exclusión residencial femenina y reflexionar sobre ellos en clave de género. El presente artículo aborda esta materia a partir de los resultados derivados de una investigación realizada en la Universidad de Barcelona (2016-2018). Los principales factores desencadenantes de la exclusión residencial femenina son una mayor vulnerabilidad a cambios estructurales en su entorno que limiten su independencia económica y la sucesión de diversas formas de violencia en sus trayectorias vitales. Destacan como factores protectores, las estrategias vinculadas a las redes de soporte social y al acompañamiento social realizado por los trabajadores sociales. Se concluye el artículo aportando algunas propuestas desde la perspectiva de género y bajo un prisma integral y comunitario que tenga como objetivo la consecución de una ciudadanía inclusiva.

Objective: To identify the relevant barriers and enablers perceived by primary care professionals in implementing the recommendations of clinical practice guidelines (CPG). Methods: Two focus groups were conducted with primary care physicians and nurses in Catalonia (Spain) between October and December 2012. Thirty-nine health professionals were selected based on their knowledge and daily use of CPG. Finally, eight general practitioners and eight nurses were included in the discussion groups. Participants were asked to share their views and beliefs on the accessibility of CPG, their knowledge and use of these documents, the content and format of CPG, dissemination strategy, training, professional-patient relationship, and the use of CPG by the management structure. We recorded and transcribed the content verbatim and analysed the data using qualitative analysis techniques. Results: Physicians believed that, overall, CPG were of little practical use and frequently referred to them as a largely bureaucratic management control instrument that threatened their professional autonomy. In contrast, nurses believed that CPG were rather helpful tools in their day-to-day practice, although they would like them to be more sensitive to the current role of nurses. Both groups believed that CPG did not provide a response to most of the decisions they faced in the primary care setting. Conclusions: Compliance with CPG recommendations would be improved if these documents were brief, non-compulsory, not cost-containment oriented, more based on nursing care models, sensitive to the specific needs of primary care patients, and integrated into the computer workstation.

The overall objective of this research was to determine – from the discourse of the former Ayudantes Técnicos Sanitarios (Technical Nursing Assistants) who are pioneers in teaching the subject of "Nursing Fundamentals" – what the characteristics of the nursing profession are in the current Spanish context. The design was qualitative and analytical induction was used as methodological strategy. The sampling was theoretical and in-depth interview was used as a technique for data collection. For data analysis, the very analytic strategy of the grounded theory was used. Specific strategies were established to ensure the criteria of rigor. The project was approved by a committee of health care ethics and informed consent was given by all the participants, thus establishing a security protocol to ensure data confidentiality...
