Although pediatric cancer treatment has been reviewed by several authors, the lived experiences of children undergoing this process have seldom been discussed in the literature. The data for this article were obtained from a larger qualitative study that provided a collective view of the pediatric cancer experience at San Jorge Children's Hospital in Puerto Rico. In this article, findings that are directly related to the hospitalization process of these young patients are described, including the hospital as a safe haven, dealing with pain, taking control, and thriving in adversity. These findings provide a rationale for the development of a biopsychosocial model of health that emphasizes reciprocal interactions among the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions that influence health.
El propósito de esta investigación fue documentar el desarrollo histórico los orígenes y fundamentos de las tres escuelas ocupacionales agrícolas de Puerto Rico, describir los trabajos que estas escuelas realizan, conocer sus fortalezas, su composición estructural e identificar sus áreas de oportunidad. Las escuelas objeto de estudio fueron: la Escuela Vocacional Agrícola José B. Barceló Oliver (Adjuntas), la Escuela Vocacional Agrícola Bucarabones (Toa Alta) y la Escuela Vocacional Agrícola Soller/Agron. Héctor M. Cordero Rivera (Camuy). Esta investigación se ancló en el paradigma cualitativo y utilizó el diseño de investigación histórica, tomando en consideración las cartas constitutivas de las escuelas ocupacionales agrícolas, los documentos normativos del Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico, las medidas legislativas, las auditorías de gobierno, las investigaciones recientes, los artículos de prensa y los censos de agricultura. Los resultados de esta investigación reafirman la importancia de visibilizar las escuelas ocupacionales agrícolas por el rol socioeducativo que ejercen en la sociedad puertorriqueña.
