INARO es una Investigación Acción Participativa en una comunidad rural en Puerto Rico. En el 2017 experimentaron uno de los huracanes más devastadores de los últimos 100 años. Desde la Psicología Social Comunitaria (PSC) y el refortalecimiento el objetivo de este artículo es analizar las características comunitarias que inhiben la participación luego de un desastre socio-natural. Se presentarán los resultados de siete (7) grupos focales llevados a cabo con la comunidad. Entre las barreras identificadas se pueden mencionar: el miedo, las diferencias de personalidad, carencia de diálogo intergeneracional, resistencia a nuevas relaciones, vergüenza, entre otras. Participación es una noción más compleja en la práctica de lo que anticipamos, por lo que comprender sus barreras es fundamental. Palabras clave: desastres socio-naturales, participación, Psicología Social Comunitaria, refortalecimiento, comunidad, barreras.
Il presente lavoro ha l’obiettivo di esporre una riflessione, da un punto di vista psicosociale, sul ruolo della formazione al giorno d’oggi all’impegno socio-politico. Il classico modello formativo risulta essere troppo "top-down" per poter produrre competenze adeguate rispetto a un oggetto intrinsecamente pratico come la politica, che non si può imparare a fare soltanto ascoltando delle lezioni. L’evaporazione dei partiti politici e il diluvio di odio sui social hanno riproposto il tema di come si possa sostenere lo spirito civico utilizzando la formazione. Essendo tuttavia un processo riflessivo sul fare, la formazione può produrre pensieri in grado di ricalibrare gli obiettivi.
In a political arena that is increasingly active on social issues, associations now more than ever need people who are committed to social change. Participatory methodologies are there-fore increasingly important to actively engage people and promote dialogue and collaboration between academia and local communities. In the present research, concept mapping methodology was applied with the aim of identifying the motivations underlying the commitment of a group of Italian activists to collective action. Findings suggest that sense of community and civic responsibility, typically "community" dimensions, are central in motivating the commit-ment of Italian activists.
La presente ricerca ha l’obiettivo di offrire una fotografia del volontariato lombardo pre-sente e futuro, confrontando volontari attivi e volontari che intraprenderanno attività di volontariato nei prossimi 12 mesi su dimensioni come il livello di impegno attuale e desiderato, leve e barriere all’impegno volontario attuale e previsto e motivazioni al volontariato. Attraverso uno studio a metodi misti, sono analizzate e descritte le differenze tra i due campioni. I risultati forniscono chiavi di lettura e suggerimenti per quelle organizzazioni strutturate del terzo settore che stanno affrontando sfide cruciali rispetto al saper intercettare e consolidare le nuove forme e modalità attraverso le quali l’azione sociale si fa volontariato.
In this short introduction we address four major issues for community psychologists to consider when addressing social change: a) Collective action is about social categories; b) Online technology gives to and takes away from collective action; c) Actions change the world but actions are themselves subject to change; and d) Beliefs, emotion and identity are both in-puts to and outputs of action.
The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the existence of a hospital bed shortage in Italy, as a result of a longstanding trend. The article analyses this process by an international comparison with other Western European countries, highlighting the intensity of hospital bed reduction in Italy, as a fundamental component of NHS rationalisation. Although it was based on solid grounds, international data suggest that hospital bed reduction was probably excessive, depriving the NHS of organisational slack. Moreover, de-hospitalisation would have been matched with a stronger development of primary and community care. The relative shortage of these services, along with the lack of integrated networks between hospital and non-hospital care, explains many difficulties experienced by hospitals in tackling Covid patients. Beyond investments in health care, these elements call to re-think the organisation of health care provision at local level, questioning the purchaser-provider split.
The main results in terms of inter-regional and intra-regional variations of the application of the concept of "health macro-region" are presented in the first part of the article in order to show how the European health care systems have differently coped with the COVID-19 outbreak. Given the high levels of intra-regional variation found, it seemed appropriate to also add an analysis by country in order to identify those "sentinel cases", given their alert value, which recorded the worst ratio between the infection rates (cases/population) and the lethality rates (deaths/cases). In order to explore the possible reasons behind the problematic coping with the pandemic of these "sentinel cases", a conceptual framework for the analysis of vulnerability, resilience and their governance in terms of sustainability of health care systems is developed in the second part, hoping its application could represent a useful contribution for best-practice solutions that could guide the management of future pandemics.
The present paper critically investigates the rise of e-prescribing socio-tech-med micronetworks of health care in Northern Italy and the role of innovative caregivers. Based on semi-structured one-to-one discursive interviews, this study’s results show that e-prescribing innovative practices modify four domains: 1) introduce techno-care fluctuating dynamics, 2) modify spaces and time barriers to care, c) build socio-tech-med micro-networked connections, and d) create innovative "technological" carers. The interdigital carer may support distinctive forms of techno-based senior care in Italy, diffuse e-prescribing culture, and transmediate health objects and services. Careful planning and human-tailored decisionmaking are necessary to normalize e-prescribing socio-tech-med practices and avoid digital health inequalities in pandemic and post-pandemic scenarios.
