However, several cities in Latin America have seen a decrease in their UGS use rates during the health emergency, particularly among vulnerable groups such as women. Using Mexico City as a case study, this research examines the main barriers affecting women’s access to UGS during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America. We applied a sequential mixed-methods approach in which the results of a survey distributed via social media in June 2020 to women aged 18 and older were used to develop semi-structured interviews with 12 women during October 2020. One year later, in November 2021, the continuity of the themes was evaluated through focus groups with the same group of women who participated in the interviews. Our results suggest that (1) prohibiting access to some UGS during the first months of the pandemic negatively imp...

Por ello, se introduce al lector en un contexto jurídico que parte del derecho a la información, transita al derecho a la comunicación en su forma jurídica denominada “libertad de expresión”, finalizando con el derecho de réplica y de manifestación. Se estudia el caso socialmente conocido como Ley Telecom para analizar cómo éste permitió transitar de un estado de gobernabilidad a un estado de gobermedia, ampliando el concepto de “ciudadano mexicano” al de “ciudadano del mundo”.

One such inequality is the distribution of urban green spaces (UGS), which are essential to pandemic recovery. Cities that aim to be inclusive and resilient should assess whether access to their UGS is equitably distributed among the population and identify the areas where these spaces are most needed. This study therefore examines the equity of access to UGS in Mexico City at the neighborhood level using network analysis. First, access to UGS was identified at a threshold of 300m, regardless of UGS size. Second, access was differentiated by the functional level of the UGS, which primarily depends on their size, with larger UGS having more extensive catchment areas. The results of this study suggest a deficit of access to small green spaces in most of the neighborhoods of Mexico City, with the neighborhoods with higher rates of poverty showing an even lower average of UGS access. The results further highlight which neighborhoods in Mexico City should receive priority attention and funding for UGS to mitigate the disproportionate effects of public health crises. This is critical for future city planning and may be used as a roadmap for identifying priority neighborhoods in other cities with similar segregation patterns.

The aims of this study were to explore the lived experiences of nurse practitioner students in caring for Mexican immigrant patients and to capture their meaning of cultural influences deemed essential to the delivery of culturally congruent care. An exploratory descriptive design was employed. Purposive sampling was used to select 17 nurse practitioner students who volunteered to complete a semistructured face-to-face audio-taped interview and follow-up focus group discussion. Constant comparison was utilized to analyze data. From this process, four distinct themes emerged: Culturally congruent care extends beyond race and ethnicity, understands the importance of therapeutic communication, accepts complementary and alternative medical modalities, and recognizes the importance of eating patterns, food choices, and perceptions of ideal weight and health. These findi...

Se realiza ademas un ejercicio con la conceptualizacion del termino Calidad De Vida, en un primer momento con los aportes de diversos autores, y posterior a esto se analiza desde las particularidades de una poblacion especifica: las familias con un miembro con una enfermedad degenerativa y discapacitante. De este modo se reconocen posibilidades de definicion a traves de las relaciones que la conceptualizacion supone. Se observa la importancia de considerar aspectos subjetivos para el estudio de la calidad de vida, pero tambien de problemas intersubjetivos que ocurren en la interaccion: la condicion sociocultural, el estrato socioeconomico y las politicas publicas son algunos de estos aspectos. La recursividad se descubre como una valiosa herramienta para la comprension de los fenomenos en vista de su complejidad.

We conducted an online survey (N = 1954) regarding individuals' perceptions and use of UGS and their SWB, evaluated through the short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh mental well-being scale. Multilevel mixed-effects regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between the frequency of UGS use and SWB, including individual and municipal level characteristics as covariates. Our results suggest that respondents who used UGS once or more per week during the pandemic reported higher SWB scores (8.7%) than those with zero visits. These findings have public policy implications that could enhance the role of UGS in urban environments during times of crisis.

Además se estudiaron otras variables como: antecedentes de familiar con cáncer, hábito de fumar y consumo de alcohol como factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de cáncer testicular. El estudio consistió en genotipificar GST-Tl en 100 pacientes con cáncer testicular con una edad promedio de 34,7 +/- 8,7 años, del Hospital San Juan de Dios, usando como control a 262 pacientes con Hiperplasia prostática con una edad promedio de 65,9 +/- 8,0 años. Todos los pacientes con cáncer testicular fueron genotipificados por medio de la técnica de biología molecular PCR convencional. La frecuencia del polimorfismo GST-Tl(-) en pacientes y controles fue de 0,11 y 0,16 respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos del estudio sugieren que la variante genética nula GSTT 1 (-) no estaría asociado a un aumento de riesgo de cáncer testicular ( OR = 1,5 8) Otras variables estudiadas tales como: hábito de fumar (OR 3,40 P=0,000), consumo de alcohol (OR 4,92 P=0,000) y antecedentes de familiar con cáncer (OR 7,12 P=0,000) si están asociadas a un aumento de riesgo de desarrollar el cáncer testicular

La percepción, evaluación y aspiraciones que utilizan para valorar su vida están vinculadas a las creencias, algunas de ellas religiosas, ya que son las que suelen ofrecer respuestas al tránsito por el padecimiento o la muerte. El presente artículo recoge los principales hallazgos de un estudio cuyo objetivo fue conocer el papel que desempeñan las creencias religiosas en la construcción de la calidad de vida de familias con hijos con parálisis cerebral, desde el enfoque constructivista social y la metodología cualitativa. Se entrevistaron 53 familias, de las cuales 18 hablaron espontáneamente de sus creencias religiosas, sobre las cuales se centran la discusión y el análisis. Se observó que las creencias se convierten en la trama que conduce a estas familias a la abnegación por su adaptación a los valores culturales; al afrontamiento del problema o al cuestionamiento...

Two goals of the program were to alleviate the nursing shortage and to increase diversity of the workforce. During this 7-year program (i.e., seven funding cycles), 130 schools of nursing in 41 states and the District of Columbia were selected as grantees, and they awarded 3,517 scholarships to second-degree accelerated nursing students who were members of groups underrepresented in nursing or who were economically disadvantaged. This article describes the demographic characteristics of the NCIN students, degree of satisfaction with their learning environment, perceptions of their mentoring experiences, and self-identified facilitators and barriers to program completion. Data sources for this article resulted from three surveys completed by scholars during their academic programs: the beginning, the midpoint, and within 6 months postgraduate. Results of analysis indicated that NCIN scholars are significantly more diverse compared with the national nurse population, and they reported high levels of satisfaction with their learning environments. Student relationships with peers and faculty improved during the period of program enrollment. Faculty support was the greatest facilitator for program completion, and competing priorities of finances and family responsibilities were the greatest challenges.

This survey was developed as the first step of a Web-based, online mentoring platform for nurses who are considering a doctoral degree program. By identifying and anticipating the predictors and barriers of success in doctoral nursing education, including practical (finances, time, geographical restriction) and personal factors (motivation, attitudes, perceived ability to navigate the application process), students are guided through a self-reflective process to determine readiness. Factor analysis revealed that interest, readiness, and support represent 3 distinct factors that may be used for additional analysis to predict future enrollment in doctoral nursing degree programs. The internal reliability analysis revealed that removing 3 items from the 15-item scale increased Cronbach's alpha from 0.75 to 0.80, and these factors explained 51.25% of variance. The self-assessment results can inform faculty's work as they mentor and guide students through the application, admission, and financial support processes for doctoral study.

In this advance, where we apply the research-action design, evaluated the results of the first "Sexuality workshop" application with patients of the Centro de Rehabilitación Infantil Teletón Aguascalientes. The sample was of 6 young patients with cerebral palsy, between 16 and 18 years old. The evaluation was done through surveys, review of documents, diaries, and active observation. The results were: give information, promotes responsible sexuality, prevention of abuse and more open communication about sexuality. We also note as an important achievement in the participants a comprehensive and healthy self-perception about their disability, increase in social and autoprotection skills. After this first experience, we will review the contents to upgrade this workshop.
