Recreation, Free Time and Well-Being According to Children and Adolescents in Chile: Mediator Meanings of Satisfaction

This chapter contributes to the field of subjective well-being in childhood and adolescence, analyzing the meanings of recreation and use of free time and its relationship with life satisfaction from the perspective of Chilean children and adolescents aged between 10 and 18 years.Subjective Well-being is understood as a contingent, culturally anchored social construction that is dynamically produced and transformed in the socio-cultural context. In this report, we integrate analyzes of information produced in two studies, in which a descriptive design was followed and purposive sampling was used. We present the results raised from the participation of a total of 106 Chilean children and adolescents, of both sexes and different social contexts, through semi-structured interviews and focus groups. For the purpose of analysis, one of the two studies used the technique of content analysis, while in the other the analysis was performed following the open coding orientations of the Grounded Theory. The results show that well-being, in relation to free time, is mediated by the possibility of feeling free, in contrast to day-to-day duties, in which satisfaction and dissatisfaction is related to the possibility of having personal time, as well as meeting with loved ones, such as family and friends. In addition, the power of seeing new places, having contact with nature and having out-of-the-ordinary experiences are valued.

Inicialmente, senalan no ahorrar, pero emergen en sus discursos estrategias de ahorro e identifican facilitadores y obstaculizadores, produciendose ademas un efecto de aprendizaje al compartir sus experiencias. Se concluye que si es posible ahorrar y se reflexiona sobre la importancia de incluirlo en intervenciones sociales publicas y privadas que apuesten por la educacion financiera como herramienta para la superacion de la pobreza.

Cambios y trayectorias de participación desde la experiencia de usuarios y usuarias de programas sociales de transferencias monetarias con un fuerte componente psicosocial

This paper presents the results of a qualitative study whose objective was to describe and make a relational analysis the changes experimented by participants of two emblematic chilean social programs: Programa Puente and Programa Calle, both belonging to the Social Protection System. Twelve in-deep interviews were made, which were analyzed following the procedures of Grounded Theory. Changes on a personal level (physical well-being, personal value, vital showdown), economic (greater economic capacity, better money management, purchase goods) and relational (improving family and social relations) were identified. These changes interacted with each other and varied according to the level of vulnerability of people, defining different program participation paths.a b s t r a c t This paper presents the results of a qualitative study whose objective was to describe and make a relational analysis the changes experimented by participants of two emblematic Chilean social programs: Programa Puente and Programa Calle, both belonging to the Social Protection System.

Intentos de suicidio y heridas auto-inferidas: 12 meses de seguimiento de conductas de riesgo de consumidores de cocaína no consultantes de servicios de rehabilitación

BACKGROUND Cocaine users tend to have a higher frequency of risk behaviors. AIM To compare risk behaviors of out -of -treatment Cocaine Base Paste (CBP) and Cocaine Hydrochloride (CH) users, by means of Privileged Access Interviewing in a one- year prospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty -eight interviewers were trained to recruit and administer a questionnaire on substance use patterns and related risk behaviors. Intentioned sampling was carried out in four municipalities of Santiago, Chile. Subjects who used CBP (group 1) or CH (group 2) at least once in the last month, with primary current use of CBP (group 1) or CH (group 2), and without treatment for substance abuse in the last six months were interviewed. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) were employed to compare risk behaviors during follow -up. RESULTS Four hundred and two of 467 subjects (86.1%) were followed up for one year. CBP users (n = 204) reported greater frequency of self -inflicted injuries (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.97 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.07-3.66]) and suicide attempts (OR: 2.68 [95% CI: 1.19-6.01]) than CH users. CONCLUSIONS CBP users had a greater frequency of self -inflicted injuries and suicide attempts, both life threatening risk behaviors, than CH users. This profile shows the high vulnerability of CBP users and should encourage further research and design of outreach interventions, particularly focused on this group.Background: Cocaine users tend to have a higher frequency of risk behaviors.
