These practices have various forms of presentation that must be identified to incorporate a rights-based approach into care processes. The aim was to describe and analyze the reasons perceived by physicians who employed coercive practices and by the individuals on whom these practices were employed, following a suicide attempt in Caldas, Colombia, in 2023 and 2024. A qualitative, transversal, and descriptive research design was used. Data collection was conducted in two phases: in-depth interviews with individuals who had attempted suicide were carried out between January and December 2024, and interviews with healthcare professionals were conducted between November 2024 and January 2025. A total of 30 participants were included, all of whom had attempted suicide and for whom coercive measures had been taken at a clinical level. In addition, 22 medical professionals who treated one of the 30 participants during their suicide attempt were included. Through content analysis, the interviews were divided into two themes. The first, based on interviews with individuals who had attempted suicide, was titled Reasons perceived by people using health services after a suicide attempt and comprised three categories: Lack of knowledge, Lack of willingness to help, and Obligation. The second theme, Reasons perceived by medical professionals, comprised categories such as Coercion as a primary resource, Coercion in medical training, and Coercion as medical protocol. Coercive measures, even though they are protocolled by health professionals, cause great suffering and hinder the recovery of people who have experienced coercive practices in mental health. 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11136 Bystander behaviour online and anti-cyberbullying self-efficacy among a post primary school aged sample In Ireland Sanmartín Feijóo, Sandra; Laffan, Derek A.; Sargioti, Aikaterini; Sciacca, Beatrice; McGarrigle, Jane; Heaney, Darran; Norman, James O'Higgins Emerging research suggests that the dynamics of bystander behaviour online is complex and nuanced. Some of this research has identified differences between online bystanders and non bystanders in intervening in online bullying when it is witnessed online. However, little research has investigated the extent to which self-efficacy beliefs could predict whether or not online bystanders are more likely to carry out cyberdefending or cyberpassive behaviours. 225 post primary students in Ireland completed an online survey during the Safer Internet Day (SID) campaign which included questions about their use of Internet devices, behaviour when witnessing cyberbullying incidences, and anti-cyberbullying self-efficacy beliefs. The study considered 45.3% of the sample to be online bystanders who reported to have witnessed cyberbullying at least once over the last number of months. Online bystanders reported to use Internet devices significantly more often than non bystanders and also present as a bully-victim cyberbullying involvement role. Compared to non bystanders, online bystanders were found to be less confident when noticing, interpreting, and knowing what actions to take when cyberbullying happens to them. For online bystanders, prior victimisation was found to be a common predictor of both cyberdefending and cyberpassive bystander behaviour. However, having higher self-rated confidence to intervene in a direct cyberbullying incident was a significant predictor of cyberdefending bystander behaviour only. Implications of the study results are discussed in the context of interventions and research that addresses young people’s social norms online that can be considerably detrimental for effective intervention. 2025-12-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11133 Revictimization, hidden scars, and building resilience in migrant women seeking international protection in Spain Merino Orozco, Abel; Sáez Velasco, Sara; Di Giusto Valle, Cristina; Calvo Ruiz, Miriam; Medina Gómez, Mª Begoña; Pérez de Albéniz Garrote, Gloria; Gutiérrez García, Aida While Spanish legislation recognizes the right to protection for migrant women, this often does not translate into adequate care for their circumstances, perpetuating their revictimization, limiting their personal development in an unequal social context, and stereotyping their professional opportunities into precarious and uncertain environments. This study delves into the voices of 10 migrant women who have sought international protection in Spain and 11 socio-educational operators who support them professionally to understand the personal experiences they share, which highlight their revictimization. The analysis of the emerging categories in the results encompasses three main areas: (1) institutional revictimization, addressing systemic obstacles, professional challenges, and doubts about the credibility of migrant women; (2) social stigmatization, including their sexualization, which impacts their personal development; and (3) processes of resilience and support, emphasizing emotional suspension and the need for personal reconstruction. The discussion explores the systemic, emotional, social, professional, and health dimensions of revictimization, which goes beyond merely recounting a traumatic experience. Women face systemic barriers, stigmatization, and gender-based violence, all of which affect their emotional and psychological well-being. However, personalized socio-educational support fosters their empowerment and resilience, allowing for personal reconstruction towards well-being. The conclusion underscores the importance of operators who provide empathetic support that counters revictimization. 2025-07-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11132 Accompaniment in the Gender and Social Discrimination of Migrant Women Victims of Gender-Based Violence: From Bibliography to Situated Key in Burgos, Spain Merino Orozco, Abel; Calvo Ruiz, Miriam; Di Giusto Valle, Cristina; Pérez de Albéniz Garrote, Gloria; Medina Gómez, Mª Begoña; Gutiérrez García, Aida; Sáez Velasco, Sara; Guijo Blanco, Valeriana Migrant women who experience gender-based violence face a framework of social vulnerability that is compounded by their status as both women and migrants, requiring specific attention in social support. The aim of this study is to understand the situation of women in the social and health access realm, drawing from scientific literature as well as the voices of migrant women and professionals who support them, in order to establish priority guidelines for social support. The study begins with a bibliographic analysis of scientific literature on migrant women who have experienced gender-based violence, which informs six interviews with migrant women and five professionals, delving into their social needs and support requirements. The most prominent results point to the need for sustained and interdisciplinary support throughout the process of accessing healthcare and legal services. In addition, there is a call for social awareness in understanding the specific and personal needs of migrant women. Finally, educational support is required to dismantle patriarchal beliefs that legitimize gender discrimination and violence, avoiding re-victimization and acknowledging the multi-dimensional nature of women’s experiences. 2023-05-01T00:00:00Z
