Summary: The need to assess attitudes toward disability is one of their main bases in the importance for persons with disabilities attitudes that people close to these people, professionals and, in general, the whole population (mostly non-disabled ) expressed toward them. There is in our country a lot of research in this area, but none focused on college students. In this sense, the investigation have revealed a number of key objectives: the first being, which gives its name to work, pretending to know what are the attitudes toward people with disabilities among students at the University of Extremadura, one of the goals to determine the extent to which socio-demographic variables raised relate to attitudes towards persons with disabilities, and the third of the main goals is to identify what factors are crucial at the time to express such attitudes. The scenarios raised try to find out whether there were significant differences partners: A - The sex of the subjects, who are studying for certification, the area of origin, the level of studies in which they are, occupation, having contact with people with Disabilities, have some kind of disability. The sample used is composed of 1001 university students, whose election was so stratified random and adapted to the number of students per school and titling, corresponding to 31 degrees. It was created ad hoc a questionnaire based on various scales attitudes towards people with disabilities, comprising 44 items according to a scale type Licket. The process of valuation was carried out considering it had degrees from all scientific fields, which had degrees even contrasted with social relevance, which had degrees with a particular link with the disability field and qualifications without regard to that area. The results highlight the importance in the expression of attitudes towards persons with disabilities gender of the subjects under investigation, expressing more positive attitudes among women than among men; also extended certification is denoted as a key distinguishing elements, being students of Social Education, Humanities, Science, Sports Psychopedagogy or those who express more positive attitudes, as opposed to medical students, Agricultural Engineering, Law, Biology and Social Work, and also having contact persons with disabilities represents a decisive player d at the time of the expression of attitudes, in this way, those who claim not to have any contact score significantly higher than those listed have frequent contact, or permanent normal. The results provide us with, in general lines, a positive vision of university students extremeños in terms of their attitudes towards persons with disabilities, but with obvious needs for improvement, at least in terms of the factors I mentioned earlier. And in this regard should be aimed the future lines of investigation that may arise from our t 8 rabajo d 256 and Thesis, to better understand the attitudes and change those that harm the full integration of persons with disabilities in all our society and the University in particular.

Summary: In the present work, described what are the factors that hinder the development of palliative care in a variety of hospital services. It is the first study of its kind conducted in our country. It proposes an integrated model of pediatric care, which starts at the time of diagnosis of a serious condition, and spoke with the administration of healing treatments and / or prolonging life. The thesis is divided into two parts: first, a theoretical review, and secondly, the realization of a dual pilot study, qualitative and quantitative, aimed at identifying obstacles to the management of pediatric palliative care. The literature review examines various issues. First, contrasted the concept and philosophy of palliative care for children with the end-of-life care in adults. Secondly, it describes the potential beneficiaries of this type of care. Finally, studying various recommendations and indicators of quality in palliative care for children. The review covers theoretical, in the category of "palliative citizens" to different populations medical traditionally not considered in this section, such as infants or children admitted to intensive care units. In that sense, poses a paradigm shift on how to be an integral attention to the serious illness. Traditionally, palliative care is recognized as a synonym for care at the end of gracious living. This is not the case with medical child population. The empirical part of the thesis is to the assessment of health personnel who attends daily to pediatric patients with serious conditions. To this end, it examines the needs, perceptions and organizational resources related to the provision of palliative care for children. A first qualitative study reflects the views of seven professional Hospital Donostia. A second pilot quantitative study, carried out with 116 health professionals, identifies perceived barriers to the provision of palliative care for children through a scale developed by the researcher. It is preliminary to determine its validity and reliability with a purposive sample and heterogeneous. The sample size seems appropriate to the needs of a pilot study. The survey results point to the perceived need on the part of health personnel to provide palliative care for children. However, it points to the existence of obstacles to the provision of this comprehensive care. The absence of guidelines and protocols for intervention programs and training of qualified personnel for the treatment of psychological aspects are the most important. The study concludes by emphasizing the need to further develop pediatric palliative care programs. It is proposed that in their planning, and the design of protocols for intervention, taking into account not only the os affected, but also their families and the specific areas where they are developed.

In the area of obstetrics distinguished nine general topics and thirty two categories that address the three core dimensions of the study: the emotional, behavior and thinking of professionals regard to the actors and the context of the loss. In neonatology were five main themes that were pooled. The fourteen central themes were reduced to four sections: Models of income and social isolation; Illness, actors and context of the loss; Support, good intentions and standards, and Death in a neonatal unit. First item .- Models income and stay in the antepartum loss: impact on the quality of care. It describes what is the journey that follows a woman who has lost a fetus regardless of the time of pregnancy after admission to hospital discharge. Of the two models emerge care data base, one that treats women as any other pregnant woman and follows the same path that this medical model, and one finds that the loss prints a difference with normal pregnancy or childbirth - model social-.Segundo issue .- The isolation of women in the fetal death as a therapeutic.

He describes the emotional dimension and the professional staff attends to a woman who has suffered a loss. The analysis reveals two categories central and seven subcategories that explain the observed variability in the affections of professionals.

The Doctoral thesis on the one hand, assessed in a sample of adolescents Asturian use of the various electronic media, as well as the characteristics of the selected content more. On the other hand, we know the frequency of antisocial behavior engaged, establishing a catalagoción the same, and in assessing the extent possible the severity of the behaviors they present. Thus, we conducted an analysis of the utilizacicón of differential media acueredo with clusters of behavioral and consistency of antisocial behavior made. Finally, we propose a model that seeks to reveal the influence that the consumption of different media have on the development of antisocial behavior, in response to the different variables used, the use of the media themselves, as adolescents. The results show that the use of the media, along with varialbes affecting teenagers explain very little antisocial behavior, and there are other factors not considered in this study to explain the acquisition of maladjusted behavior, which leaves open a new route research.
