Intergenerational Grandparent/Grandchild Relations: The Socioeducational Role of Grandparents

Intergenerational relationships established between grandparents and grandchildren have aroused great scientific interest in recent years. It is true that, nowadays, different studies have been conducted in which the typology of these relationships has been researched. Studies have used variables such as intra- and interindividual styles in the grand-parenting role, relationships after divorce, grandparents having to act as parents, or the type and quality of the established relationship when a grandparent becomes affected by a degenerative process. However, few studies provide evidence on the type of relationship and the roles that are established between the grandparents and their favorite grandchild. In this article, we aim to provide an overview of the studies that have been conducted on this subject. Subsequently, we present the main results of a study in which we analyzed the identification of the favorite grandchild and the relationships that were established. Our study took into account the presence of certain psychosocioeducational variables to enable us to improve our understanding of intergenerational relationships.

SISTEMA PARA LA DETECCION DE PATOLOGIAS PSICOLOGICAS: STRESSTIC

ABSTRACT Stress is increasingly common in today’s society, being associated in many cases with numerous somatic, psychological and behavioral pathologies, some of which increase low productivity in the workplace. This article presents a tutorial to develop a system for measuring both the conductivity and the temperature in a subject’s skin. This application has been developed by the Technological Institute of Castilla and Leon (ITCL) and consists of both software and hardware of our own design. The software will analyze and discriminate between different stressful situations and will be able to easure the level of acute stress on the subject. The experiment was conducted in a context of real analysis on a sample of students from the University of Burgos (UBU), under different stress conditions.

A guide to indicators for the evaluation of specialist autism centres, based on the quality-of-life model

Objective: The evaluation of individual and organizational quality of life through the Guide to Quality-of-Life Indicators and its promotion in English-speaking areas. This guide was initially designed for people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder in specialist autism centers in Spanish and Italian-speaking areas where its effectiveness has been validated. Method: The Delphi technique is applied to the design of a qualitative investigation, with expert validation for the adaptation to English-speaking areas. Results: The results have facilitated the adaptation and validation of the tool, which has 68 indicators grouped into six areas, for its application in both the planning and the evaluation processes of organizations and support services in English-speaking areas. Conclusion: The adaptation of the questionnaire on QoL indicators for people with ASD is a reliable service-provision tool intended to assess integrated programs and to improve them throughout their life-cycles; this aim is approached from the objective perspective and through a subjective evaluation. The Guide will require further updating and review procedures as new needs and contexts emerge.
