Historias de mujeres, historias nuestras, historias de todos. Construir resiliencia a través de la narrativa

Este trabajo surge de la intención de contar relatos de adversidad y cómo escuchar y dar voz construye resiliencia en las personas. Se establecieron dos objetivos. El primero, realizar entrevistas a mujeres con adversidad y darles voz para fortalecerlas desde la resiliencia. El segundo, amplificar estos relatos compartiendolos con más personas, observando cómo les afecta escuchar estas narrativas. Se utilizó un cuestionario anterior, posterior y una entrevista semiestructurada para analizar las historias de 7 mujeres con adversidad. Para el segundo objetivo se realizó un encuentro con 31 personas, se les relató las historias y se recogió información a través de dos indicadores “qué me llevo y qué dejo”. Para los resultados de la entrevista y de la información recabada del segundo objetivo utilizamos un análisis de categorías inductiva y deductiva. En los resultados, observamos que las mujeres habían aumentado ligeramente su resiliencia al ser escuchadas, y habían utilizado numerosos factores protectores en sus vidas. En cuanto a qué se llevaron las personas que escucharon los relatos, constatamos que los prejuicios y un concepto vacío de lo que creían que era resiliencia es lo que dejan, y se llevan una forma diferente de entender y afrontar las adversidades de la vida.This work arises from the intention of telling stories of adversity and how listening and giving voice builds resilience in people. Two goals were set. The first, conducting interviews with women with adversity and giving them a voice to strengthen them through resilience. The second is to amplify these stories by sharing them with more people, observing how listening to these narratives affects them. An anterior and posterior questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used to analyze the stories of 7 women with adversity. For the second objective, a meeting was held with 31 people, the stories were told and information was collected through two indicators "what I take and what I leave behind. For the results of the interview and the information collected from the second objective, we used an analysis of inductive and deductive categories. In terms of results, we observed that the women had slightly increased their resilience when being listened to, and had used numerous protective factors in their lives. As for what the people who heard the stories took away, we found that prejudices and an empty concept of what they believed to be resilience is what they leave behind, and they lead a different way of understanding and facing the adversities of life

Incidence, Clinical Characteristics and Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Spain : Large-Scale Epidemiological Study

(1) Aims: To assess the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Spain, to describe the main epidemiological and clinical characteristics at diagnosis and the evolution of the disease, and to explore the use of drug treatments. (2) Methods: Prospective, population-based nationwide registry. Adult patients diagnosed with IBD-Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) or IBD unclassified (IBD-U)-during 2017 in Spain were included and were followed-up for 1 year. (3) Results: We identified 3611 incident cases of IBD diagnosed during 2017 in 108 hospitals covering over 22 million inhabitants. The overall incidence (cases/100,000 person-years) was 16 for IBD, 7.5 for CD, 8 for UC, and 0.5 for IBD-U; 53% of patients were male and median age was 43 years (interquartile range = 31-56 years). During a median 12-month follow-up, 34% of patients were treated with systemic steroids, 25% with immunomodulators, 15% with biologics and 5.6% underwent surgery. The percentage of patients under these treatments was significantly higher in CD than UC and IBD-U. Use of systemic steroids and biologics was significantly higher in hospitals with high resources. In total, 28% of patients were hospitalized (35% CD and 22% UC patients, p < 0.01). (4) Conclusion: The incidence of IBD in Spain is rather high and similar to that reported in Northern Europe. IBD patients require substantial therapeutic resources, which are greater in CD and in hospitals with high resources, and much higher than previously reported. One third of patients are hospitalized in the first year after diagnosis and a relevant proportion undergo surgery
