A muchos no les quedó otro remedio que recurrir a maniobras de resistencia, entre las que estuvieron un buen número de prácticas ilícitas como el contrabando. Hemos encarado aquí este fenómeno para el poco estudiado contexto...

La experiencia de los «años del hambre» en España ha sido un asunto apenas abordado. La memoria colectiva se ha empeñado durante décadas, también, en olvidar aquellos tiempos de escasez y fracaso. Negar el hambre por el temor a la vergüenza, al espanto. Este libro pretende contribuir al redescubrimiento del que ha sido uno de los acontecimientos má...
The progressive aging of Western societies and the challenges this poses for health and care systems has encouraged different types of technology to emerge as realistic solutions for the care of the elderly. Among these, robotic technologies, especially anthropomorphic ones, are becoming increasingly relevant in the care of the elderly. Regarding t...
The process of technologization of self-care, which has become widespread in recent years, has also reached the elderly.

La soledad se ha convertido en un espacio crucial en la agenda del debate en las tensiones consumistas del capitalismo. La mirada de las ciencias sociales sobre este fenómeno ha estado dominada por las perspectivas psicologistas, que han conseguido ocupar en el último medio siglo la hegemonía interpretativa sobre la soledad y el aislamiento social....
El impacto de la pandemia de Covid-19 se ha narrado a partir de las cifras de morbimortalidad en muertes, días de enfermedad o discapacidad. Pero los censos de morbimortalidad no alcanzan a describir la totalidad del impacto de la enfermedad en la vida de pacientes, familiares y profesionales de la salud. Este trabajo, de naturaleza cualitativa, pe...
Despite the advice given in evidence-based policy guidelines, intervention programmes incorporating effectiveness assessments are still rare in the Spanish context.

Desde hace décadas, en Guatemala se ha desplegado un amplio abanico de intervenciones de desarrollo que han tenido como objeto fortalecer la seguridad alimentaria y mejorar el bienestar nutricional de la población guatemalteca, pero, la prevalencia del hambre y la desnutrición, especialmente la infantil, sigue siendo un problema no resuelto para in...
Historically, there has be a close relationship between the nursing services and spiritual care provision to patients, arising due to the evolvement of many hospitals and nursing programmes from faith-based institutions and religious order nursing. With increasing secularism, these relationships are less entwined. Nonetheless, as nurses typically e...
Background: Urbanisation and rural migration in some areas of Spain and Portugal have given rise to rural contexts largely defined by ageing and depopulation. Rural populations have suffered from increasing social isolation, with older people living alone in villages with very few inhabitants and limited access to services. The aim of this study is...
The fast evolution in the implementation of new technologies in the healthcare environment has created a wide range of new tools for applying patient care and their pathologies’ control. In the hospital background, this implementation has been continuous and adapted to each category, easing the learning and acceptance. It has not happened likewise...

Las Hurdes ha sido el símbolo en España durante mucho tiempo del hambre más atroz y la pobreza más extrema. Diferentes estudios han evidenciado cómo aquella dramática existencia sigue condicionando algunos hábitos hoy en día. A partir de un estudio cualitativo de naturaleza etnográfica, nos hemos aproximado a la manera en que ese pasado sigue influ...
Es una obviedad afirmar hoy en día que la gastronomía está de moda. Parece existir una cierta burbuja gastronómica internacional que pasa por un momento álgido. Un boom con el que los medios de comunicación están también, además, estrechamente relacionados.
Sin embargo, no puede negarse que, crecientemente, amplias capas de la población están cada...
Population aging is a great challenge for modern societies at the future and is a central issue in the development of public policies. In Spain, in rural regions, the demographic problem of aging must be added to the problem of migration. In this context, a direct consequence of the union of aging and depopulation appears: loneliness of the elderly...

The aging population means that health systems rely on informal carers to meet the physical, psychological, and emotional needs of older people. In this context, it is particularly important to know the perceived quality of life of informal carers. Health studies highlight the close relationship between care work and the carer's objective health. T...

One of the problems associated with ageing that most concerns health professionals is low therapeutic adherence. In recent years, technological developments have appeared that can increase therapeutic adherence. To do so, it is necessary to know their usability and the possibility of use that they may have. In the framework of the project “Internat...
Ageing in Western societies results in various related problems. One of the most important is loneliness of the elderly. The research that has addressed loneliness has mostly been carried out from biomedical approaches, which have given priority to quantitative methodologies. We propose the research protocol for a study of ethnographic nature that...
Food choices are a complex subject of study. This study reviews existing literature on the topic, while also offering new perspectives. It introduces empirical materials that suggest the existence of continuities between childhood memories of food insecurity and current nutritional choices and practices among older adults. This is a qualitative stu...
This qualitative study explores the difficulties in experiencing eating-derived pleasure within a group of functionally diverse people, based on personal interviews and Grounded Theory. Understanding the feelings and subjective experiences of functionally diverse people can help develop new approaches to address their loss of pleasure and motivatio...
The increasingly common scenario of an ageing population is related to a rise in the prevalence of problems associated with chronic conditions and comorbidities. Polypharmacy is frequent among this population, and it is a situation that can create medication management and adherence issues. This article introduces the features and functionalities o...
Loneliness among the elderly has become a pressing issue in Western societies. In the Spanish context, the problem of the so-called “empty” Spain disproportionately affects this population group—elderly individuals living in rural areas with low population density, and therefore at higher risk of social exclusion and isolation. We introduce here a...
Demographic evolution is resulting on an aged population increment in Spain. This growth has been more relevant in rural areas, where the population has traditionally lived under hard socio-economic conditions and leveraging the natural resources such as food from family orchards to survive. Studies that have investigated the possibilities and uses...
