Tanto la satisfacción marital como la propia calidad de la relación son percepciones importantes cuando se estudia a las relaciones románticas ya que refleja la opinión general del individuo acerca de su relación romántica. Por lo tanto, múltiples construcciones se pueden definir como la representación de la calidad de las relaciones de pareja, como lo son el amor, la intimidad, la comunicación, el compromiso y el sexo que se encuentran siempre caracterizando lo que se da en las relaciones románticas. Basado en lo anterior, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue Validar en México la Escala Brasileña sobre Calidad en las relaciones románticas Acuarela-R de De Andrade y García (2012). para cumplirlo se trabajó con muestras equivalentes del Distrito Federal, Hidalgo y Durango, es decir, con un total de 878 voluntarios que mantenían una relación; realizando así la validación mediante el procedimiento propuesto por Reyes Lagunes y García y Barragán (2008). Los resultados mostraron la existencia una escala válida y confiable con coeficientes de confiabilidad robustos que permitirán su uso de ella para medir las percepciones de calidad en la relación amorosa y así contribuir a la investigación en psicología para llegar a la comprensión de la naturaleza de la duración, mantenimiento, reparación, e incluso de la ruptura de éstas.

Method: This is a qualitative, descriptive study, with 11 people with colorectal cancer. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, subjecting them to the technique of content analysis. The theoretical-methodological framework of Sanicola's social network was used. Results: it is observed that the primary social network was composed mainly of children, siblings, spouses and friends, who offered emotional support, material and care. The secondary social network, made up of professionals from outpatient clinics and hospitals, provided reception, guidance and material support. It reveals the fragility of primary health care units to meet the demands of care. Conclusion: it was demonstrated that the social network exerts a strong influence on the care of the person with ostomy and the importance of the support of the professionals of all levels of attention to health in the promotion of integral assistance, resolutive and aiming at self-care supported.

Objective: to understanding the perception of ostomized patients affected by colorectal neoplasms regarding their quality of life. Methods: qualitative research, with 15 patients in outpatient treatment. Data collected through semi-structured interviews. To organize and present data, the content analysis technique was used. Data were interpreted according to the social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. Results: three thematic categories emerged: Quality of life: social, psychic, and spiritual influences; Personal and environmental adaptations considering the new reality; and Complications of living with an ostomy. Conclusion: patients with ostomies resulting from colorectal cancer, in general, have variations in the way they perceive their quality of life. In the physical domain, they consider the device to be vital in the treatment, but it generated, a priori, social isolation, due to embarrassment, requiring them to adapt to the new reality as to diminish its emotional impact, which frequently presents in the form of sadness and non-acceptance.

Key Questions

This article challenges Devine's assumptions that clandestine whisky-making developed into a legitimate industry. The article argues that the 1820s distilling laws marked a key transition in the whisky industry. The illicit manufacture and trade of whisky in Highland Scotland was deliberately sundered to be supplanted by entrepreneurs and landowners, many of whom had supported or shaped the legislative developments, to legitimise their endeavour. In so doing, the direction of the whisky industry was changed with uneven social and economic consequences across the region, including consequential and coercive Highland depopulation, but which undoubtedly prompted a significant step forward in the quality, scale and reach of Scotch whisky. The article poses a series of key questions: was there continuity between smugglers and legal distilleries? How were legal distilleries founded and developed as businesses following 1823? What were the social and economic impacts of the 1822–3 legislation and the subsequent distilling industry on the Highland communities which distilled prior to 1822?

Although intimacy is an area characterized by great variety and complexity, both popular and academic discourses have traditionally revolved around a restricted number of associations, of which the family, the romantic couple and friendship bonds have resided at the very centre. In this article the author argues that an analytical shift that addresses intimacy in terms of a relational quality – a specific mode of interaction and a particular experience of closeness – instead of a set of relationships, may assist in exploring a wider range of phenomena. This approach is used to study Argentine tango dancing. Ethnographic fieldwork locates the search to the dim-lit dancehalls of Buenos Aires, San Francisco and Stockholm, and accounts for experiences of transitory semi-anonymous attachments. The study concludes tango to be a multifold intimate arena that unveils how complex webs of feelings are entangled with the social organization of attachments.

Abstract Background. Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality are increasing in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), possibly due to a combination of changing lifestyles and improved healthcare infrastructure to facilitate diagnosis. Unfortunately, a large proportion of CRC cases in these countries remain undiagnosed or are diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor outcomes. Decreasing mortality trends in HICs are likely due to evidence-based screening and treatment approaches that are not widely available in LMICs. Formative research to identify emerging opportunities to implement appropriate screening and treatment programs in LMICs is, therefore, of growing importance. We sought to identify potential barriers and facilitators for future implementation of fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-based CRC screening in a public healthcare system in a middle-income country with increasing CRC incidence and mortality. Methods. We performed a qualitative study with semi-structured individual and focus group interviews with different CRC screening stakeholders, including: 30 lay people at average risk for CRC; 13 health care personnel from a local public clinic; and 7 endoscopy personnel from a cancer referral hospital. All interviews were transcribed verbatim for analysis. Data were analyzed using the constant comparison method, under the theoretical perspectives of the Social Ecological Model (SEM), the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model, and the Health Belief Model. Results. We identified barriers and facilitators for implementation of a FIT-based CRC screening program at several levels of the SEM. The main barriers in each of the SEM levels, were: 1) at the social context level: poverty, health literacy and lay beliefs related to gender, cancer, allopathic medicine, and religion; 2) at the health services organization level: a lack of CRC knowledge among health care personnel and the community perception of poor quality of health care; 3) at the individual level: a lack of CRC awareness and therefore lack of risk perception, together with fear of participating in screening activities and finding out about a serious disease. The main facilitators perceived by the participants were CRC screening information and the free provision of screening tests.Conclusions. This study’s findings suggest that multi-level CRC screening programs in middle income countries such as Mexico should incorporate complementary strategies to address barriers and facilitators, such as: 1) provision of free screening tests, 2) education of primary healthcare personnel, and 3) promotion of non fear-based CRC screening messages to the target population, tailored to address common lay beliefs.
