Permanent URI for this collection
El GESEC té com a objecte primordial proposar i realitzar investigacions i estudis socioculturals, bàsicament sobre aspectes d'educació, de salut i qualitat de vida, dels processos de socialització, identitat, gènere i de la construcció de la interculturalitat. Això implica necessàriament un enfocament interdisciplinari que permeti abordar aquest treball tan heterogeni i complex des del conjunt de les ciències socials: la sociologia, l'economia, l'antropologia social, la salut (infermeria), la psicologia i l'educació són les àrees centrals d'aquesta interdisciplinarietat.

- ItemOpen AccessPhysiotherapists' experiences on assisting physiotherapy users during the COVID-19 pandemic with lockdown measures in Spain.(Wiley, 2023-05-19) Fernández-Lago, Helena; Climent Sanz, Carolina; Bravo Navarro, Cristina; Bosch Barceló, Pere; Masbernat Almenara, Maria; Sanjuan Sánchez, Daniel; Briones Vozmediano, Erica TulaBackground Physiotherapists had faced a new healthcare scenario characterised by the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose To explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physiotherapy profession from the perspective of physiotherapists working in the public and private sectors. Methods Qualitative study based on semi-structured personal interviews with 16 physiotherapists working in public, private, or public-private partnership sectors in Spain. The data were collected between March and June 2020. Inductive qualitative content analysis was performed. Results The participants (13 women, 3 men; aged 24–44 years) had professional experience in diverse healthcare settings (primary, hospital, home, consultations, insurance companies, associations). Five categories were identified: (1) the impact of lockdown on the health of physiotherapy users; (2) managing the demand for physiotherapy services during lockdown; (3) introducing protocols and protective measures in physiotherapy consultations; (4) changes in therapeutic approaches; and (5) future expectations in the physiotherapy care model. Physiotherapists perceived that lockdown caused a decline in the functionality of people with chronic conditions, together with a reduction in the physiotherapy services. Difficulties in prioritising users considered urgent became evident, and the inclusion of prophylactic measures affected treatment duration differently depending on the care setting and the pandemic prompted the use of telerehabilitation. Discussion The pandemic affected the functional status of chronic physiotherapy users and made treatment time, quality of care and triage protocols visible. In physiotherapy, technological barriers need to be solved, such as digital literacy, families without resources, situations of dependency and cultural barriers.
- ItemOpen AccessEffectiveness of workplace exercise interventions in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in office workers: a systematic review(BMJ, 2022-12-31) Tersa Miralles, Carlos; Bravo Navarro, Cristina; Bellon, Filip; Pastells Peiró, Roland; Rubinat, Esther; Rubí Carnacea, FrancescObjective To determine the effectiveness of workplace exercise interventions in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Design Systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Data sources The bibliographical databases PubMed, CINAHL Plus, Cochrane, Scopus, ISI WoS and PeDRO were searched, with studies from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020 eligible for inclusion. Eligibility criteria We included RCTs, reported in English or Spanish, with at least an intervention group performing workplace exercises among office workers with musculoskeletal disorders. Data extraction and synthesis Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. A narrative synthesis was carried out with a tabular method specifying the study characteristics following the SWiM (Synthesis Without Meta-Analysis) guideline for synthesis without meta-analysis. The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB-2) tool was used to analyse the risk of bias of the included studies. Results Seven studies with a total of 967 participants met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Due to heterogeneity in different workplace exercise interventions, outcome measures and statistical analyses, it was not possible to conduct a meta-analysis and a narrative synthesis was performed. The interventions were classified into three categories: multiple body regions, neck and shoulder, and lower back. The seven studies concluded that workplace exercise interventions were effective in reducing musculoskeletal disorders and pain compared with other types of interventions or with control groups with no interventions. The RoB-2 tool found a high risk of bias in six of the seven studies. Conclusions The findings of the RCTs on workplace exercise interventions suggest that interventions were effective in treating musculoskeletal disorders among office workers. However, due to the high risk of bias of the included studies, no firm conclusions could be drawn and more high-quality studies are needed.
- ItemOpen AccessUpper crossed syndrome in secondary school students: A mixed-method study(Elsevier, 2023-01-24) Iglesia, Llanos de la; Bravo Navarro, Cristina; Rubí Carnacea, FrancescObjective: The study objectives were to identify the prevalence of upper crossed syndrome (UCS) and its associated factors in a population of Spanish adolescents, and to explore these associations through focus groups. Methods: The study used a sequential explanatory mixed method design. The quantitative phase consisted of a cross-sectional study in which 45 students underwent photogrammetry measurements and evaluations with the Kiddo-KINDL and VISA-TEEN questionnaires. Subsequently, several focus groups were conducted to discuss the quantitative results. Results: The results indicated a 37.8% prevalence of UCS, a 48.9% prevalence of forward head posture (FHP) and an 80% prevalence of forward shoulder posture (FSP). A positive FSP was indicated by an angle represented by the intersection of the line between the midpoint of the humerus and the spinous process of C7 of <52°. FSP was significantly higher in boys (mean [M] = 43.59, standard deviation [SD] = 6.9) than in girls (M = 47.98, SD = 6.33; p < 0.05). Boys showed significant moderate associations of FSP with body mass index (BMI) (r = −0.48, p < 0.05) and hygiene habits (r = −0.46, p < 0.05), and of FHP with worse use of technology (r = 0.53, p < 0.05). Those with UCS showed significant differences in school performance (M = 47.22, SD = 8.33, p < 0.05). Analysis of the qualitative results led to the identification of 33 codes and five categories. Conclusions: UCS was associated with factors such as BMI, school performance, use of technology and physical activity. Correcting posture in adolescence was generally believed to be necessary. Physical exercise and postural health were considered highly important among adolescents.
- ItemOpen AccessPolítica migratoria colombiana 2010-2020: barreras emergentes y retos en educación(Pontificia Universidad Javeriana - Bogotá D.C. - Colombia, 2022) Tovar Flórez, Miguel Ángel; Vanegas Niño, Luz Karime; Sanvicén, PaquitaEste artículo presenta una revisión documental de investigaciones sobre la política migratoria de Colombia y su impacto en la educación, en el periodo 2010-2020. El análisis de contenido identifica tres categorías clave: política migratoria y educación obligatoria; barreras emergentes en educación obligatoria y retos en política migratoria y educación obligatoria. Esto demuestra el interés creciente por analizar el impacto de la migración desde Venezuela hacia Colombia en la educación primaria y secundaria. Cuantitativamente, las aportaciones científicas aumentan a partir de 2015, debido al incremento de flujos migratorios venezolanos, tratando problemáticas y retos políticos y educativos.
- ItemOpen AccessEducación en / con el espacio virtual. Reflexiones a pié de aula, de calle i de pantalla(2021) Sanvicén, PaquitaEste artículo tiene como base la conferencia Educación en/con el espacio virtual. Oportunidades, barreras y retos avisan en tiempos de pandemia impartida online en mayo de 2021 en el VII Seminário Nacional y II Internacional de Formação, Mediação e Supervisão. Revisada, añadiendo reflexiones a partir de informes y aportaciones que han vertido conocimiento, análisis y propuestas para el enfoque y desarrollo de la educación en la llamada nueva normalidad post-covid. Por el poder evidente que tiene el espacio virtual en los distintos planos y dimensiones de la educación en todos los ámbitos, incido en las aportaciones, distorsiones, impactos que cabe tener en cuenta para que sea un buen aliado para la educación. Por ello, incorporo expresamente opiniones de jóvenes universitarias y universitarios que han reflexionado sobre cómo están construyendo sus vidas con/en Internet. A partir de la argumentación, datos y experiencias, se concluye que, más que nunca en la sociedad digital, la educación es una corresponsabilidad social, la base de la construcción del ser humano y la sociedad; que la tecnología es un medio no un fin; que en los planes y acciones que se desarrollen para conseguir la competencia digital debemos focalizar y profundizar en la Educación Digital para el desarrollo social, profesional y humano de la sociedad. Identificación, análisis, sensibilización, concienciación, corresponsabilidad son dimensiones clave en la educación en/para la prevención de los impactos negativos del mal uso de las tecnologías digitales para la construcción y desarrollo de las vidas de las personas de todas las edades.
