Menstrual health and health-related quality of life in Spain
INTRODUCTION: Menstrual health plays a crucial role in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there is a gap addressing HRQoL in relation to broader aspects of menstrual health definition. This study aims to analyse the relationship between menstrual health and self-reported health-related quality of life in women and people who menstruate (PWM) ≥ 18 years in five regions of Spain (Andalusia, Basque Country, Canary Islands, Catalonia, a…

Perceptions of government guidance and citizen responses during the Covid-19 pandemic
The public perception of government approaches to pandemic management has played an important role in citizen responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the state and associated health institutions should feasibly be sources of epistemic authority, the pandemic has undermined their legitimacy as anti-science rhetoric proliferated and ‘fake news’ spread rapidly. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of interviews with citizens across …
Doing isolation – Caring Citizens. A cross-country comparative analysis of patient experiences with isolation practices during the early phase of the Covid-19 pandemic
The aim of this article is to investigate isolation experiences of individuals affected by Covid-19 and explore how care practices were enacted or upheld under the particular policies of the pandemic. Conceptually we draw upon Foucault's notion of biopolitics and scholarship on ‘care practices’ and ‘carescapes’. We are interested in how theoretical ideas such as ‘containing the virus’ or ‘flattening the curve,’ as part of policies of ‘pandemic ma…
Sharing uncertainty
The early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic generated profound global uncertainty that disrupted health systems. This paper examines uncertainty about Covid-19 from the perspective of patients who sought clinical help in Spain, the UK, the USA, Brazil and Germany in 2020. We conduct a narrative analysis to explore how patients sought to involve health care teams in addressing the ontological and epistemological uncertainties of Covid illness. Patie…
Co-Creation of Massive Open Online Courses to Improve Digital Health Literacy in Pregnant and Lactating Women
The preliminary results of the quantitative assessment showed a higher self-perceived DHL after the IC-Health MOOCs. These results suggest that IC-Health MOOCs and the co-creation methodology appear to be a viable process to carry out an intervention aimed to improve DHL levels in European PLW

Knowledge, Attitudes and Expectations of Physicians with Respect to Palliative Care in Ecuador
Background: The worldwide need for palliative care is high, especially in mid- income countries like Ecuador, where the percentage of patients receiving such care is very small due to the scarcity of infrastructure and specialized personnel and to the unequal distribution in the country. The objective of this study is to explore the knowledge, attitudes and expectations related to palliative care of the physicians in Ecuador. Methods: A qualitati…
