Over the last 20 years, ageing has been studied through the lens of an active ageing perspective, which considers older adults as responsible for their own conditions. However, the COVID-19 health emergency has highlighted its limits. Drawing on a sample of semi-structured interviews – collected before and during the pandemic – with people aged 65 years and above who are self-sufficient and live in Turin, Italy, this article explores the representations and perceptions of ageing, to highlight the possible effects of the COVID-19 emergency. The results show that representations of ageing revolve around two fundamental viewpoints: one considers older adults as a cost for the community because of their unproductiveness; the other overlaps the loss of self-sufficiency with a definition of 'real' old age. Furthermore, the interviews introduce a distinction between those who – considered productive despite their age – were called to provide a service to the community during the lockdown, and those who were judged vulnerable because of their age. Such ambiguous messages have raised new questions about an active and successful ageing imperative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Responsive caregiving is associated with secure attachment and positive child developmental outcomes. However, there is some debate on whether responsive caregiving is a universal construct. Few studies have researched responsive caregiving in diverse cultural settings, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. In this study, we explore if and how responsive caregiving is conceptualized among mothers of children under 3‐years‐old in rural, Sindh Pakistan. A phenomenological qualitative study was implemented in Naushahro Feroze through in‐depth interviews with twenty mothers. Mothers were asked about their aspirations for their children and how they would respond in a variety of different scenarios. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis with an inductive‐deductive coding scheme. There was substantial variation in mothers' described responsive behaviors and beliefs. Almost all mothers described using some form of responsive parenting. Responding to children's demands while the mother was preoccupied, using verbal responses to console children, and if mothers believed that children should be praised, lacked consensus. Most mothers described using breastfeeding for consolation and highlighted the importance of immediately consoling their crying child. The results suggest that there is a need for a more nuanced approach to understand caregiver behaviors across contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teacher identity has gained global attention as a construct of interest due to its potential to explain teacher attitudes and behaviors. Despite this growing interest, few studies have explored the implementation of qualitative methodologies in the empirical study of teacher identity. The objective of this study was to investigate how Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and Grounded Theory (GT) are utilized in empirical research on teacher identity. To achieve this, we followed the PRISMA model guidelines for systematic reviews, establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria for the bibliographic search, such as publication date and the nature of the research. The final analysis included 31 research articles. The results identify patterns in the objectives, data collection techniques, and analysis methods used in both approaches within the context of empirical studies on teacher identity.

This study explores journalism students' responses to hazards and hostility in the profession within a Safety of Journalists course. The research uses focus group interviews, field notes, study diaries, written tasks, and Teams' chat logs of 11 students. Students' reactions to the hazards highlight the importance of awareness for finding solutions and developing resilience. Proposed solutions include fostering self-assurance, enhancing interpersonal communication, setting boundaries to prevent burnout, and recognizing the significance of workers' rights. However, finding some solutions was hindered by students' experiences of media organizations neglecting worker well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines how solutions journalism education translates to professional practice, through in-depth interviews with current media professionals who encountered solutions journalism when they were in college. Findings suggest that solutions journalism education resonates powerfully with students, and incorporating the practice in J-school curriculum may have the potential to reengage disenchanted students. Whereas there remain significant barriers to practicing the approach in the workplace, participants revealed that their encounters at university with solutions journalism positively affected their reporting style, interview skills, and perspective of journalism's role in society.

Introducción. Las masculinidades representan roles sociales diversos y un estereotipo masculino que limita el desarrollo de tareas domésticas, entre otras, el estar a cargo de la alimentación familiar. Objetivo. Interpretar los relatos de personas mayores sobre el rol de las masculinidades en la transmisión alimentaria familiar. Materiales y Métodos. Estudio exploratorio con enfoque cualitativo utilizando la metodología de la Teoría Fundamentada de Strauss y Corbin. Participaron personas mayores de género masculino, a los que se les aplicó entrevista semiestructurada. Los datos fueron analizados a través de codificación abierta, axial y selectiva, lo que permitió identificar las categorías centrales que fueron la base del levantamiento de teoría que responde al objeto de estudio. La investigación fue avalada por comité de ética científica. Resultados. Se reconoce una cesión social de hábitos, patrones y costumbres alimentarias familiares en este grupo de personas, en especial, en etapas nóveles de su trayectoria vital. Como personas mayores, las masculinidades se adaptan a los cuidados y necesidades de sus respectivos hogares, ayudando en las compras de alimentos, elaborando preparaciones culinarias o reconociendo miembros masculinos de sus familias en el traspaso intergeneracional de saberes alimentarios. Conclusión. Desde los relatos de personas mayores participantes, las masculinidades presentan una dinámica familiar que comienza a desmitificar el rol de género femenino en el traspaso cultural de la alimentación.

Qualitative research is, par excellence, the scientific inquiry in education; educational theory stands as the sole tool constructed to aid teachers in the full comprehension and assessment of the significant actions of learners and the entire teaching process. Educational research necessitates the development of theories that enrich educational action entirely; this allows the teacher to engage in the formulation of such theory, not merely attempting to understand and adapt it. From this premise, we share the notion that the teacher's engagement in educational research should align with their role and function as educators, rather than as professional researchers, which could distance them from their essential practice of teaching. By turning their professional activity into a reflection and systematization of experiences, it contributes to what is recognized as educational action research, guiding them towards a better understanding of their own domain and a professional code of ethics to enhance the quality of action within it. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explain how the level of development of pedagogical competencies is acquired through an educational intervention that raises awareness among students and encourages constructive participation. The research-action method was employed, with an educational intervention consisting of diagnosing and characterizing the subjects – students; data collection involved the intervention plan of didactic strategies and actions to be carried out by the students, in addition to a post-diagnosis. Data processing was carried out using Dyane version 4.0 software; the results emerged from an integrative approach in empirical, theoretical, and interpretative triangulation. It is concluded that the objective was achieved, and the level of development of pedagogical competencies was recognized through the educational intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reports a study documenting managerial leadership within the schoolwork in tele-secondary institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The approach was qualitative with case study support. An exploratory stage was carried out, with the participation of management and teaching staff from the State of Veracruz, Mexico, and another in-depth stage, which resulted in the selection of two cases. The analysis presented focuses on a school principal and the center where he works; with the support of Atlas.ti, three categories were defined: teacher well-being, closeness to the students and professional learning community. The results show that what prevailed was the physical, labor and emotional well-being of teachers; the search for permanence and learning of the students, as well as the constitution of a professional learning community. We recognized that the possibility of innovation in education emerged, even amidst the health crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the community in La Virgen de Sarapiquí, community outreach projects have been carried out from 2018 to 2024. The projects had the purpose of providing the participants with professional skills for the potential tourist visitation in the area due to the opening of El Ceibo of the Braulio Carrillo National Park. In the last three years, English courses have been taught in the community with the aim of promoting linguistic competences in their tourism ventures. This qualitative research evidences the lived experiences and perceptions of two participants in the process of learning and Practicing English in socio-productive activities, developed under this community outreach framework. For this descriptive case study, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, collages, and reflective narratives. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and using NVivo as software for data coding. The results obtained include the context of the participants before taking the English courses, the perceptions of these people about the English courses, the experiences lived in the implementation of the language and job projections in relation to English. It was concluded that the learning of English was effective and its use in the socio-productive activities of the participants. Also, extension projects are key in the development of rural communities along with the implementation of project management principles such as quality, complexity, adaptability, and resilience; In addition, rigorous qualitative research allows a systematization with perspectives from the experiences and perceptions of the participants.

One of the demands of the academic community for the selection and accreditation processes of their members is to lead competitive research projects. Many young researchers face the challenge of being a “Principal Investigator” for the first time without prior experience or support. To this end, we believe that it is necessary to share experiences of presenting subsidized projects (also failures) among the academic community. The objective of this article is twofold: on the one hand, to consider the difficulty of structuring research projects to receive grants from the institutions and, on the other, to share and discuss strategies and complexities of the qualitative approach based on the project proposal made by the author. The referred project was presented in the 2021 call for "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento " of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain. The proposal is based on the fact that the transition from modernity to post-modernity materialises in different dimensions and processes that are relevant to their study from the social sciences perspective. One of them is the management of imaginaries associated to motherhood as a representative institution of a particular geographical and historical context. Understanding the associated processes, representations and narratives on motherhood is one of the challenges concerning today's society as a whole, not just women and mothers. The general objective of this project is to delve into the narratives of women and mothers who break (or wish to break) with the practices and meanings associated with "traditional motherhood". Thus, we aim to explore the processes of change, continuity, and subversion in the motherhood management within the framework of advanced modern or post-modern societies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text contains an analysis and reflection exercise around some components of the epistemic model that delimits the 2022 Curriculum of the Degree in Special Education seen in the light of the complexity paradigm, as well as the relationship it has with the activities of teaching that some teachers still replicate in classrooms at the higher level; The recovery of some professional biographical components allows us to take advantage of this qualitative research tool to recover worrying information about what the teacher thinks and decides regarding his didactic work and the possible contradictions that may arise between the epistemic approach that supports the teacher training and what happens on a daily basis in the classroom; The constant reflection of doing and the presentation of some changes in teaching activities are also presented in this writing.

Introduction: The approval by the Portuguese Parliament, in December 2021, of the law applicable to Surrogate Pregnancy, raises reflection on the practical aspects in which the scheme will be implemented and the necessary guidelines for health professionals involved. For this reason, the following objectives were defined: to analyze a set of recommendations for clinical practice in surrogacy in countries with experience in the procedure and to promote a discussion with experts in Medically Assisted Reproduction. Material and Methods: A documental analysis of publications and official documents on the theme was conducted. This served as a basis for the qualitative design study based on focus groups with different professionals --physicians, and psychologists-- with experience in Medically Assisted Reproduction. The discussion was realized through sessions via Zoom®, held separately with the two focus groups. Results: In the debate, the experts made their appreciation and proposals for improvement concerning the initial version of the document resulting from the document analysis. Conclusion: A consolidated version of the set of guidelines for health professionals was obtained with the dimensions to evaluate and follow up with the surrogate and beneficiaries in Surrogacy.

Objetivo : comprender los procesos críticos (PC) de determinación social de la obesidad, la diabetes y la hipertensión (ODH) en una comunidad nahua de México. Metodología : estudio cualitativo de registros de un taller de fotovoz, donde las participantes fotografiaron su entorno y analizaron las causas y posibles soluciones a la ODH. Para analizar los PC de la ODH utilizamos como método la investigación narrativa y, como referente teórico, la epidemiología crítica. Resultados : la ODH se reproduce social e históricamente a través de PC destructivos vinculados con las relaciones de producción global y de género. Estas determinan modos de vida deteriorantes que limitan la atención a la salud, comprometen la salud mental, producen contaminación y diferenciación de uso de espacios, y reducen oportunidades para alimentarse nutritivamente y realizar actividad física. Todo ello se expresa como ODH y problemas de salud mental. Los PC protectores ante estas expresiones incluyen la atención estatal, las oportunidades de trabajo, y la promoción de dispositivos culturales y comunitarios. Conclusiones : nuestros resultados aportan a la discusión global sobre cómo las condiciones históricas de vida son parte de la determinación social de la ODH. Comprender los PC y sus expresiones locales puede orientarnos hacia la descolonización de la forma de pensar y hacer promoción de la salud. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo aborda la pregunta de investigación: ¿cómo percibe la juventud madrileña la arquitectura hostil y los efectos que esta provoca? Se centra en el impacto de la arquitectura hostil en Madrid, destacando su influencia en los jóvenes. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, utilizando la técnica de Photovoice, el cual reveló que esta práctica arquitectónica genera malestar, desidentificación con el entorno y discriminación entre adolescentes. La limitación del ocio saludable y la promoción de un estilo de vida individualista son consecuencias adicionales. Mediante este estudio exploratorio se recogieron testimonios de ocho jóvenes, se destaca la necesidad de considerar sus experiencias para mejorar el entorno urbano. La arquitectura hostil no solo afecta a grupos vulnerables, como personas sin hogar, sino que también mina el Derecho a la Ciudad de toda la población. Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de escuchar a los jóvenes para revitalizar el espacio público, promover la inclusividad y crear una ciudad más igualitaria y solidaria.

Resumen El objetivo del estudio es analizar las características de las claves didácticas y organizativas de las prácticas innovadoras desarrolladas en las escuelas. Siguiendo los principios de la metodología cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas a 21 docentes responsables de prácticas innovadoras de centros de la provincia de Huelva (España). Para el análisis de los datos, se identificaron 2 categorías emergentes, 11 dimensiones, 90 códigos y 448 citas. Entre los resultados destaca el diseño de propuestas que incorporan cambios metodológicos orientados a la significatividad en los aprendizajes, la apertura a la comunidad y la flexibilidad de los agrupamientos del alumnado. Las conclusiones ilustran que las prácticas impulsan cambios en los niveles didácticos y organizativos de los centros, a fin de fomentar el aprendizaje significativo y competencial del alumnado.

La investigación cualitativa es, por excelencia la indagación científica en educación, la teoría educativa es la única herramienta construida para ayudar al profesor en la plena comprensión y valoración de las acciones significativas de los aprendices y todo el proceso de la enseñanza. La investigación educativa requiere de elaboración de teorías que enriquezcan en toda la acción educativa, esto permite que el docente pueda participar en la elaboración de esa teoría, y no solo intente comprenderla y adaptarla. Desde esta premisa, compartimos la idea del ejercicio de la investigación educativa por el profesor, debe corresponderse con su labor y función como educador, y no como investigador profesional, que lo podría alejar de su práctica esencial de educar. Al hacer de su actividad profesional una reflexión y sistematización de experiencias, contribuye a lo que se reconoce como investigación-acción educativa, que lo orienta hacia un mejor conocimiento del propio ámbito, hacia un código profesional de ética para mejorar la calidad de la acción dentro de ella. El objetivo se enfoca en cómo mejorar las competencias pedagógicas en el estudiante centrado en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje a través de la intervención educativa. Se utilizó el método de la investigación-acción, con una intervención educativa que consistió en diagnosticar y caracterizar a los sujetos –alumnos-; para recolectar los datos fue el plan de intervención de estrategias didácticas y las acciones a realizar por parte de los alumnos, además de un post-diagnóstico. El procesamiento de datos se llevó a cabo mediante un software Dyane versión 4.0; los resultados fueron desde un enfoque integrador en una triangulación empírica, teórica e interpretativa. Se concluye, en que el objetivo se cumplió y se logró reconocer el nivel de desarrollo de las competencias pedagógicas a través de la intervención educativa.

La colaboración docente permite al colectivo profesional culminar los procesos de generación de conocimiento educativo a partir de la práctica. La visión del profesorado supone una dimensión de comprensión fundamental sobre el fenómeno. Esta investigación explora las percepciones del profesorado sobre el conocimiento educativo durante el desarrollo de un programa formativo basado en dinámicas colaborativas de interdependencia: discusión sistemática, observación entre iguales, sistematización y transferencia (INTRODUCCIÓN). Se siguió una metodología cualitativa que incluyó la realización de entrevistas antes y después de la formación a 13 docentes participantes y 2 grupos de discusión con 12 docentes no participantes. Se analizó si estas percepciones dependen y varían en función de la participación en dinámicas colaborativas. El análisis se hizo a través de dos vías: inter-participantes y por temáticas, desde un enfoque deductivo que sigue el Modelo Sistémico de Conocimiento Educativo Docente (Verástegui y Úbeda, 2022) e inductivo, obteniendo información sobre la coherencia y las contradicciones de las respuestas (MÉTODO). Los principales hallazgos indican que las definiciones son consistentes y que su percepción no varía significativamente, aunque han aparecido ambivalencias que reflejan algunos problemas estructurales que pueden estar dificultando la integración de dinámicas colaborativas en la cultura profesional. De hecho, aunque esta investigación confirma la importancia de la colaboración para la construcción de conocimiento educativo, hemos reafirmado que sigue siendo una experiencia escasa y residual en los centros (RESULTADOS). Por último, la investigación amplía los estudios orientados a recoger la percepción del profesorado en pro de favorecer políticas bottom-up e institucionalizar un desarrollo profesional colaborativo dirigido a la construcción de conocimiento educativo (DISCUSIÓN Y PROSPECTIVA).

La identidad docente ha emergido alrededor del mundo como un constructo de interés, debido a su potencial explicativo al respecto de las actitudes y comportamientos docentes. Pese al gran interés existente, hay pocos estudios que exploren la forma en la cual se implementan las metodologías cualitativas en el estudio empírico de la identidad docente. El objetivo del estudio fue explorar la forma en la cual la teoría de la actividad histórico-cultural (TAHC) y la teoría fundamentada (TF) son empleadas en investigaciones empíricas de identidad docente. Para ello, seguimos lineamientos del modelo PRISMA para revisiones sistemáticas, por lo que determinamos criterios de inclusión y exclusión para una búsqueda bibliográfica, tales como fecha de publicación y naturaleza de la investigación. El análisis final fue realizado con 31 artículos de investigación. Entre los resultados, se identifican patrones respecto de los objetivos, técnicas de recogida de datos y técnicas de análisis para ambas propuestas en el contexto de investigaciones empíricas de la identidad docente.

El artículo discute los modos de aplicar criterios de rigor y calidad en la investigación cualitativa. La precisión metodológica de los estudios cualitativos es un tema de importancia, aunque no suele plantearse como parte de las condiciones necesarias para llevarlos a cabo. En la investigación cuantitativa se emplean los criterios de validez y confiabilidad entendiendo que el primero significa la adecuación semántica entre un concepto (abstracción) y un indicador (referente empírico). Mientras que la confiabilidad o fiabilidad es la consistencia de los resultados obtenidos ante sucesivas mediciones. Para debatir esta cuestión se toma como ejemplo una investigación doctoral sobre la migración de las travestis/trans sudamericanas que residen en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Se indica de qué manera los diferentes criterios de rigor y calidad fueron aplicados teniendo en cuenta lo alcances y limitaciones del estudio en función de estos criterios.

Bondades ecosistémicas en demasía, oportunidades recreativas e incluso experiencias culturales - espirituales se fusionan al concebir el término manglar. Para los guayaquileños crecer en medio de esta biodiversidad representa gran parte de su identidad, la nostalgia de la ciudad antigua cuya expansión urbanística no contempló al elemento primordial que ha habitado desde su fundación entre el río Guayas y del Estero. Guayaquil tiene una vida asociada al manglar. A pesar de su riqueza, los manglares no forman parte de declaratoria alguna como patrimonio de la humanidad; no obstante, constan como áreas protegidas del país; y, las actividades humanas asociadas se consideran como patrimonio inmaterial. Es por eso que se propone esta temática como motor de investigación con el objetivo de promover la reivindicación histórica, social y científica al conocer todo lo referente a este ecosistema. La metodología de entrevistas a profundidad de este proyecto fue el insumo para un trabajo investigativo y minucioso que reivindica la participación de la academia como gestora cultural, profundizando en la transmisión de valores y considerando que la cultura es parte de la interacción humana; por tanto, abarca formas, expresiones sociales, costumbres, rituales, vestimenta y normas de comportamiento que son parte del término.

Introducción: El consumo de alcohol es considerado uno de los transcendentales factores de riesgo de discapacidad y muerte prematura. Develar el sentido de la experiencia de la persona consumidora de alcohol en cuanto a las necesidades de cuidado en el contexto hospitalario e incentiva que enfermería brinde un cuidado humano. Objetivo: Comprender las necesidades de cuidado de una persona consumidora de alcohol durante la estancia hospitalaria. Método: Investigación cualitativa fenomenológica. Muestreo por conveniencia, participaron 07 hombres y 02 mujeres que consumen alcohol e ingresaron al hospital. Para recolectar los datos se utilizó una entrevista fenomenológica, previo consentimiento informado. El análisis se realizó mediante el círculo hermenéutico de Martin Heidegger. Resultados: Fueron develadas cinco categorías: 1) Necesidades físicas ante deterioro corporal, 2) Necesidades emocionales y de apoyo con traspaso de energía para vivir, 3) Necesidades de confort humano dentro de la hospitalización, 4) Agradecimiento verbalizado y escrito ante acompañamiento y preocupación, 5) Anhelos de ser cuidado como persona. Conclusiones: Enfermería se encuentra con un ser vulnerable que muestra necesidades físicas debilitadas, necesidades emocionales que requieren apoyo y confort humano, un ser que anhela y agradece al ser enfermera.

Introducción: Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles van en aumento, ocasionando discapacidad y dependencia en quien la padece, así como la necesidad de un cuidador. La cronicidad es un concepto que se ha analizado desde la mirada de la persona que la padece, dejando un vacío en la comprensión del significado para el cuidador. Objetivo: Comprender el significado de la cronicidad para las personas con Enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles y sus cuidadores informales. Materiales y métodos: Investigación cualitativa fenomenológica-hermenéutica según la propuesta de Van Manen, muestreo casual orientado por criterio, participaron 10 personas enfermas y 9 cuidadores. Los criterios de rigor de credibilidad y confirmabilidad, confiabilidad y la transferibilidad, garantizaron la calidad del estudio. Resultados: emergieron los siguientes temas: brindar y recibir cuidado como un acto de amor; unión de la familia; enfrentarse a la dureza; recibir, brindar y buscar apoyo; estar pendiente; cambio de vida; proceso de aprendizaje; una compañía para toda la vida; imponer restricciones, limitaciones y pérdidas. Conclusiones: el significado de la cronicidad para los cuidadores y las personas enfermas es complejo, dinámico y multidimensional; por lo tanto, es necesario realizar intervenciones que ayuden a mitigar el impacto que esta produce en la vida de este binomio.

This article is divided into three parts. First of all, as a first provocation, I have indicated three paragraphs, to generally indicate to the reader what they can possibly find within the content of this text. Secondly, I will specifically present some conceptual and methodological aspects of the autoethnographic approach, understanding that this is not a deepening of the topic, but simply a second provocation, for the reader-evaluator to consider (which, for me, would be the same) taking a stance on what you are reading, and third, I will show an autoethnographic fragment of my own, to point out the writing in autoethnography initiated from an epiphany. This narrative exercise arises from two specific but intertwined moments: being a nurse and being the father of a son with Down Syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The cultural practices that mothers have to treat respiratory infections in their children can have positive or negative effects on their recovery. Objective: To describe the home care of the hospitalized child with acute respiratory infections from a cultural approach. Method: Descriptive qualitative study. The sample was represented by 12 mothers of children under five years of age with hospitalized acute respiratory infections. The data was collected through the semi-structured interview and was processed through content analysis. Results: Three categories are established: a) Use of traditional medicine as an ancestral practice to treat acute respiratory infections, b) Eating habits during acute respiratory infections, c) Clothing and hygiene customs against acute respiratory infections. Conclusions: The mothers treat respiratory infections with medicinal plants that are native to their community. There are positive aspects that must be preserved, such as providing breastfeeding during illness, but daily bathing must be negotiated, and oversleeping the child must be restructured. Likewise, the nursing staff must have knowledge about traditional medicine and its effects, in order to provide intercultural health education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social organization mainly designates women as the informal caregivers, and there is an invisibilization of how this milestone is constructed in everyday life, which makes them the predominant caregiving social subject. Within this framework, the article aims to understand the narratives linked to the decision to initiate informal caregiving among women who care for dependent persons. A research was conducted from an interpretative epistemological perspective, descriptive, qualitative and narrative approach, defining as participants 13 informal caregivers who were interviewed individually. The results show narratives that respond to prescribed, canonical and relational ways of describing the milestone of the beginning of caregiving. It is concluded that the decision to care would be framed in a kind of designation generated by (self-)ascribed mandate, presenting three remarkable profiles: the decision without autonomy, the decision in conditions of ambivalence/contradiction and the decision influenced by the family, community and health system.
