ABSTRACT.Elderly people with cerebral palsy (CP) demand space and social voice to exercise their rights of citizenship and participation. In this study the current situation of elderly individuals with PC is analyzed in the social and health field and provides future course of action that can be used as measures in response to the opportunities and challenges that these people have offered, in order to ensure a society for all ages and abilities.We analyze the perceived needs of 260 old people with PC through a semistructured interview. The results establish the following needs identified: lack of recreational and leisure and home help in terms of social services and the quality of health care and physical therapy as major concerns about health resources. Courses of action are proposed for each area which can respond to these needs. Because of the close relationship between the two systems that require elderly people with PC, it is proposed by the coordination and integration of services present agreed care goals to achieve continuity of care and support, increasing the effectiveness of both actions and favoring who require both services. So it gets to shift toward the inclusion of people with cerebral palsy in society to succeed.KEYWORDS: Social Services, Health Services, Participation, Social Inclusion, Accessibility, RESUMENLas personas con parálisis cerebral (PC) mayores demandan espacio y voz social para ejercer sus derechos de ciudadanía y de participación.

Background: The passage through university is a complex experience that can heighten personal susceptibility to eating disorders. The objective of this research is to determine how gender, age, course, educational faculty, and body mass index (BMI) can influence the risk of eating disorders among university students. Method: A transversal and descriptive study is conducted with a sample of 516 Spanish students (57.2% female, 42.8% male; Mage = 21.7, SDage = 4.1) following 26 university degrees. The Inventory Eating Disorder-Reference criterion (EDI-3-RF) was administered to the students. Contingency tables were used between categorical variables with the chi-squared statistic, at a significance level of p < 0.05. The Student t-test was used for two independent samples and a one-way ANOVA test with the post hoc Bonferroni test for more than two groups. Pearson’s correlation and a simple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the variables in its quantitative version. Results: It was found that the female students enrolled in the second year presented a greater obsession with thinness and body dissatisfaction (p = 0.029; d = 0.338); the male students practiced more physical exercise to control their weight (p = 0.003); and that students under the age of twenty (p < 0.010; d = 0.584) and students from both the Health (p = 0.0.13) and Law (p = 0.021) educational faculties showed greater bulimic behavior (d = 0.070). More females are underweight (z = 2.8), and more men are overweight (z = 2.4). Normal-weight students scored significantly higher in thinness obsession (p = 0.033). Overweight students scored significantly higher on thinness obsession (p < 0.001) and body dissatisfaction (p < 0.001). Obese students scored significantly higher on body dissatisfaction (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The data obtained in this study, reinforce the hypothesis that the female gender, at an age within the limits of early adolescence, in the first year of the degree courses, with specific university qualifications, and a high BMI constituted factors that could provoke an eating disorder. Consequently, it is necessary to implement preventive measures adapted to the circumstances of each university student.

La tutoría es la acción de orientación presencial o virtual que el docente lleva a cabo sobre el alumnado y que consiste en una ayuda particular entendida como algo intrínseco al proceso educativo del estudiante que suscita su interés, estimula su comportamiento y propone metas significativas en su progreso académico. Así definida, la tutoría interesa como factor de calidad en las metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En este trabajo, desde un prisma cuantitativo, se analiza la eficacia de la acción tutorial vista desde el alumnado con el fin de contribuir a incrementar el aprovechamiento y mejora del trabajo docente. Para ello, la muestra correlaciona las siguientes variables: tres universidades (UBU, UCM y UNIR); dos presenciales y una on-line; dos públicas y una privada; tres titulaciones; dos áreas de conocimiento; dos casos donde prevalecen las tutorías face-to-face y un caso, con contacto digital no directo con el estudiante. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que, aunque las tutorías face-to-face son más valoradas todavía, la modalidad online es cada vez más valorada y útil.
