The research is based on a community intervention project—Living More With Knowledge: Health Literacy—with a qualitative and quantitative approach, with ethnographic aspects through participant observation by one of the researchers. At the end of the first year of the project, a qualitative study was carried out, with the application of a questionnaire survey to a sample of 143 participants from different groups aged between 50 and 90 years old. The questionnaire survey aimed to assess the participants perception of the activities developed. To the questions regarding the usefulness of the topics addressed for daily life, the acquisition of new knowledge, the way the topics are addressed, the relationship and interaction of health professionals with the participants (cognitive and emotional), 99% of the respondents considered it very good and good. All respondents expressed interest in continuing to participate in the activities. The number of participants doubled, as well as the request of institutions to collaborate in the project.

Health influences general well-being, and well-being affects future health. Oral health professionals report a decreased well-being and a higher burnout. This chapter measures and evaluates the perception of the health professional and the patient about factors of stress and well-being. It evaluates the strategies used to overcome the anxiety and stress that involve the meeting. Two surveys applied by questionnaire, with face-to-face and online dissemination, the first to patients and second to dentists, were done. Of the 245 patients, 46% consider themselves to be anxious. The instruments used in a clinical environment cause discomfort, and their noise is the predominant cause for this fear. Of the 306 dentists, 80% show the ability to face difficult situations. Finally, 90% have an awareness that contributes to the well-being of others. Oral health professionals should prepare themselves with techniques to develop a therapeutic relationship that is more positive, calm, and less stressful.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of adults living with cystic fibrosis. Method: A qualitative study based on the social phenomenology by Alfred Schütz, carried out with 12 adults interviewed in 2016. The statements were analyzed and organized into concrete categories. Results: The following categories were evidenced: “The biopsychosocial impact of the disease on daily life”, “Social prejudice as a generator of embarrassment”, “Coping strategies” and “Fear, uncertainties and the desire to carry out life projects”. Final considerations: The understanding of the experience lived by adults with cystic fibrosis allowed unveiling intersubjective aspects experienced by this public that should be considered by health professionals in the care of this group. It is up to the professionals involved in assisting these people to develop care strategies aimed at completeness, respect for the world of meanings of each individual, their life history, and intersubjectivity that is specially built in the relationship between professionals and people with cystic fibrosis.

Abstract Health professionals face specific challenges providing care for migrants and refugees, including communication barriers, misunderstanding due to cultural differences, patient’s low health literacy. Rather than relying exclusively on a preconceived knowledge about migrant cultures, health professionals should invest more in the relationship with the patient listening and giving prominence to the patient’s story. This part of the WS will explore the soft-skills needed to establish a trustful and effective care relation with migrant and refugee patients. (20’)

Study habits are methods and strategies used by student to assimilate and acquire new knowledge and improve their academic performance. The habit requires three important elements knowledge, skills and the desire to improve, without forgetting that they require effort, dedication, discipline and motivation. The objective of the study was to know the relationship between study habits and academic performance in two first year university groups in a Food Microbiology competition. A questionnaire was used to evaluate study habits according to techniques, organization, time, distractor and efficiency in academic performance. The results showed that there is a relationship between study habits and poor academic performance. This information helps to take actions to improve learning techniques and environments that help correct and resolve the deficiencies that arise in the daily work of the teacher.

Abstract Background The children’s agency and that exercised by parents and health professionals in palliative care, along with structural limitations imposed by the conditions of inequality, will provide a new perspective from medical anthropology and biomedicine to improve pediatric palliative care in complex therapeutic scenarios. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the ways in which pediatric patients have agency in relation to their parents and palliative care (PC) professionals within the hospital setting, as well as the structural circumstances that constrain said agency. Method A hospital ethnography (by means of non-participant observation and interviews) of the palliative care (PC) unit in a children’s hospital was conducted over the course of six months. A thematic analysis was performed using the ATLAS.ti software . Results Thirteen cases were reconstructed of underage patients of both sexes patients together with their families; five health professionals were interviewed. The analysis identified the following 6 thematic axes, around which this article is organized: 1. The relationship between the exercise of proxy agency and the medical decisions concerning underage patients. 2. Negotiating agency and support in decision-making. 3. Child autonomy. 4. The experiences of health professionals. 5. Limitations of palliative care. 6. Bureaucratization of palliative care. Conclusions In pediatric palliative care, agency is a process whereby different agencies intertwine: lack of pediatric patients ‘agency, the parents’ agency, the parents’ agency as representatives of their children (proxy agency), and the agency of health professionals. The concept of relational agency is proposed, defined as a set of group actions and decision-making centered around the pediatric patients’s agency and the proxy agency.

The relationship between journalism and education remains in a yet weakly explored camp, although journalism can embody a pedagogical tool, oriented to the practice of journalistic concepts and techniques. In this article, we explore a case-study of an online radio developed with youth communities, using participant observation, interviews and focus groups conducted in the scope of the project RadioActive Europe (2013-14). We argue that these young participants take similar roles in daily life and particularly in school to those used in contexts of radio participation. Learning through action, however, implies long lasting intervention processes so that the transposal of roles taken up in the project may be more perennial, dynamic and fluid in the personal life processes.

The strain of caregiving associated with the care of demented persons living at home often continues after relocation, and group-living-care units (GL), designed for a small number of subjects, have been developed. The aim was to prospectively describe caregiver burden in relationship to symptoms of patients with dementia after relocation to GL. Sixty-four caregivers and 64 demented patients were assessed before, 6 months after, and 12 months after relocation. Thirty-six caregivers were children, 7 were spouses, and 21 were others. Validated scales were used for caregiver burden and dementia symptoms. Total burden of caregivers decreased after 12 months, but the degree of isolation was unchanged and feeling of disappointment increased significantly. The burden was not related to changes of activities of daily life or disorientation. Patients' lack of vitality at relocation independently predicted caregiver's burden 1 year later. Hallucinations and changes of symptoms during the first year were associated with less caregiver burden, probably due to greater detachment of the relationship. The caregiver burden remains 1 year after relocation and any support to the caregiver should consider patients' symptoms, especially lack of vitality.

Students Satisfaction

The aim of the research was to identify the relationship of students’ satisfaction with the study of the discipline and interaction with the university teacher, including the features of mutual perception. The following objectives were formulated: to conduct a questionnaire survey of students identifying their satisfaction with interaction with the teacher in the framework of the academic discipline, the level of knowledge on the subject before studying the discipline, the growth of knowledge after studying the discipline, and the correspondence of the mark obtained in the exam to the subjective level of students’ knowledge; to conduct a questionnaire survey of university teachers identifying their satisfaction with the interaction with student groups in which they conduct classes; to compare the results of mutual evaluations of students and teachers. The following research hypotheses were proposed: (1) there is a positive relationship between mutual evaluations of students and teachers; (2) lack of knowledge growth in the discipline is interconnected with a low evaluation of students’ satisfaction with interaction with the teacher; (3) presence of a problem in the relationship between the teacher and the student group can be identified based on the analysis of the evaluation spread. Students and teachers were offered questionnaires with numerical values assigned to answers. Questions in both questionnaires were comparable and allowed studying the same aspects of mutual perception of students and teachers and its impact on satisfaction with education. The respondents were 643 first-year students (representatives of 76 study groups divided into 131 subgroups) and 20 teachers who conducted the same general professional discipline in the previous semester for these students. The following methods of statistical data processing were used: analysis of primary statistics, Spearman’s rank-order correlation, the Mann–Whitney U test, and the Kruskal–Wallis H test. Data processing was done using Statistica software. The following conclusions can be made from the empirical study. In general, students and teachers are satisfied with the interaction with each other in the educational process, and their mutual evaluations are interconnected. The low teachers’ evaluation of the student group is interconnected with the unsatisfactory students’ evaluation of the relationship with the teacher. The trend will be stronger if the teacher does not adjust the methods of presenting educational material taking into account students’ abilities. The lack of knowledge growth in the discipline leads to a low evaluation of students’ satisfaction with interaction with the teacher. Summarizing the above, it is important for university teachers to have a flexible approach to the presentation of educational material depending on the initial abilities of students while forming their self-reliance, interest in the subject, and training in general, which ultimately helps students to develop as specialists.

The Relationship

Humans are social animals; consequently, a lack of social ties affects individuals’ health negatively. However, the desire to belong differs between individuals, raising the question of whether individual differences in the need to belong moderate the impact of perceived social isolation on health. In the present study, 77 first-year university students rated their loneliness and health every 6 weeks for 18 weeks. Individual differences in the need to belong were found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and current health state. Specifically, lonely students with a high need to belong reported more days of illness than those with a low need to belong. In contrast, the strength of the need to belong had no effect on students who did not feel lonely. Thus, people who have a strong need to belong appear to suffer from loneliness and become ill more often, whereas people with a weak need to belong appear to stand loneliness better and are comparatively healthy. The study implies that social isolation does not impact all individuals identically; instead, the fit between the social situation and an individual’s need appears to be crucial for an individual’s functioning.
