Background Safeguarding the right to die according to the principles of autonomy and freedom of each person has become more important in the last decade, therefore increasing regulation of Euthanasia and Medically Assisted Suicide (MAS). Aims To learn the opinions that the nurses of the autonomous region of Madrid have regarding Euthanasia and Medically Assisted Suicide. Research design Cross-sectional descriptive study. Participants and research context All registered nurses in Madrid. The study was done by means of a self-completed anonymous questionnaire. The variables studied were social-demographic, giving opinions about Euthanasia and MAS. Ethical considerations Each participant was assured maximum confidentiality and anonymity, ensuring the ethical principles set out in the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as in the Organic Law 3/2018, on Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights. Findings A total of 489 nurses answered the questionnaire. In total, 75.7% of the nurses confirmed that Euthanasia should be regulated in Spain. 66.3% indicated that information on Euthanasia should be provided jointly by doctors and nurses, and 42.3% considered that it could be applied by both medical and nursing professionals. A total of 87.2% advocated the participation of nurses in health policy, influencing the drafting of the law. In the face of possible regulation, 35% would request Conscientious Objection, being closely related to their religious beliefs. Discussion Different authors point out that nurses’ perceptions and attitudes towards Euthanasia are conditioned by different factors, such as religion, gender, poor palliative care, legality and the patient's right to die. Conclusion Nurses are positioned in favour of the regulation and practice of Euthanasia and MAS, depending on their age, years of experience, training, model of care and especially religious beliefs.
Los sistemas de educación superior en América Latina experimentaron un crecimiento notable desde mediados del siglo pasado. En los años 90 en consonancia con las reformas neoliberales, la presión por el acceso a este nivel educativo fue respondida mediante políticas de desregulación de la educación promoviendo la expansión del sector privado. El Perú no constituye una excepción a este proceso. A pesar de este crecimiento experimentado el promedio regional de la tasa de matrícula de educación superior es baja con grandes diferencias entre los países de la región. Este panorama de inequidad dio lugar, desde fines de los años 90 en diferentes países de la región, a políticas compensatorias como becas y préstamos educativos orientados a jóvenes de grupos sociales pobres y/o marginados por su origen social o étnico. En este artículo se aborda el sistema de subsidios a través del PRONABEC que se implementa recientemente en el Perú.
En mayo, la pequeña ciudad de Luricocha enclavada en la región andina centro sur del Perú, atrae a cantidad de visitantes motivados por la Fiesta de las Cruces. Ella moviliza a decenas de comunidades que llegan de diferentes barrios y pagos del distrito portando sus cruces adornadas con flores y tejidos coloridos para ser saludadas por la feligresía y turistas. Las cruces son acompañadas por los Chunchos, agrupaciones músico coreográficas que tocan un instrumento aerófono ancestral: la antara. Lo que aparece ante los ojos del visitante como un ritual ligado al pasado, está íntimamente imbricado con el presente y sus símbolos de modernidad: las tecnologías de la comunicación y la información. Las tecnologías son utilizadas para activar los lazos de identidad y pertenencia de la comunidad y su diáspora esparcida como consecuencia de la guerra interna en los años 80.
