La dominación masculina

Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of medicine-related problems, understood as negative clinical outcomes, that result in hospital emergency department (ED) visits and to establish relationships among risk factors and the appearance of pharmacotherapy negative outcomes. Methods A stratified two-stage probabilistic sampling approach was used which consisted of stratified random sampling of patients visiting the ED followed up by interviews. A systematic appraisal tool was used to identify pharmacotherapy negative outcomes within the framework of the information gathered. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out. Cost per process was estimated. The prevalence of pharmacotherapy negative outcomes producing ED visits was 33.17% (95%CI: 31.09–35.25). These negative outcomes could be divided into three categories: ineffectiveness (19.76%; 95%CI: 17.92–21.60), necessity/use (10.52%; 95%CI: 9.48–11.56), and lack of safety (2.89%). About 73% (95%IC: 70.03–76.23) of the negative outcomes were considered to be preventable. Average cost per negative outcome was 329.5 euros (95%CI: 185.4–473.5). Factors associated with the appearance of negative outcomes were age, number of medicines taken, and the combined effect of both of these factors. Compared with those participants younger than 18 years, patients between 45 and 64 years of age presented an odds ratio (OR) of 2.52 (95%CI: 1.1–5.78), while those older than 65 years had an OR of 3.63 (95%CI: 1.27–10.35). Compared with people not using medicine(s), patients using one to two different medicines presented with an OR = 19.91 (95%CI: 8.28–47.87), and those using more than three medicines had an OR = 22.71 (95%CI: 3.05–69.26). Finally, compared with patients younger than 18 years and not using medicines, patients aged 45–64 years taking three or more different medicines presented with an OR = 64.07, while those older than 65 years taking three or more medicines presented with an OR = 31.50. The prevalence of negative clinical outcomes was 33%, of which more than 73% of these were preventable. Factors associated with their appearance were age, number of medicines, and their combined effect.

Medicine-related problems resulting in emergency department visits.

Against a background of significant social change experienced by Spanish women from the 1960s onwards, new gender identities and conflicts have emerged. These factors have barely been taken into account in the research work done in Spain. This article looks into the conversations of young people concerning their relationship with risky sexual behaviour, recreational drug use and sexual identity. Drawing from a qualitative study of discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with young recreational drug users, the article suggests that there are at least two models of femininity among the recreational drug consumers that have taken part in this study. First there is a traditional romantic model whereby young women associated risky sexual behaviour with being in love or trusting in the partner. Here the young woman does not link her sexual behaviour to the effects of using recreational drugs but, rather, to the characteristics of her emotional relationship.

Girl Power: Risky Sexual Behaviour and Gender Identity amongst Young Spanish Recreational Drug Users

Against a background of significant social change experienced by Spanish women from the 1960s onwards, new gender identities and conflicts have emerged. These factors have barely been taken into account in the research work done in Spain. This article looks into the conversations of young people concerning their relationship with risky sexual behaviour, recreational drug use and sexual identity. Drawing from a qualitative study of discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with young recreational drug users, the article suggests that there are at least two models of femininity among the recreational drug consumers that have taken part in this study. First there is a traditional romantic model whereby young women associated risky sexual behaviour with being in love or trusting in the partner. Here the young woman does not link her sexual behaviour to the effects of using recreational drugs but, rather, to the characteristics of her emotional relationship. Second, there is a model of new values and gender roles that are closer to those traditionally associated to males, where the young women use recreational drugs as a form of empowerment to take on new situations concerning their sexuality. The article analyses the perceptions of risk among the different identity groups, along with the negotiations to begin sexual relations and the use of the condom in these groups of recreational drug users. Issues for policy and practice are also briefly considered.
