    Accesibilidad de la información e información sobre accesibilidad: Percepciones de las personas con discapacidad sobre los servicios turísticos
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Calero Valverde, Ángela; Vicente Rabanaque, Teresa; Rabanaque, Vicente
    El artículo presenta un estudio, de tipo cualitativo y basado en grupos focales, cuyo objetivo principal es analizar las percepciones que distintos colectivos de personas con disca-pacidad tienen con respecto a los productos y servicios ofertados por las empresas del sector turístico. Se pone el acento en las imágenes que proyectan, en la información en materia de accesibilidad que transmiten y en la comunicación y prestación de los servicios una vez que la persona se encuentra en el destino. Los resultados apuntan hacia la necesidad de un cam-bio sistémico, integral y estructural en el sector que tenga en cuenta la diversidad intrínseca de la ciudadanía.

    Aims and objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of parents of children with physical disabilities concerning the quality of their interaction with health professionals in early intervention programs. Background: Despite the consensus on the need for Patient and Family-Centered Care, there are still difficulties when executing such care. The quality of interaction among patients, families, and professionals is essential to facilitate the implementation of the programs. Design: A qualitative descriptive study with thematic analysis using a Modified Grounded Theory approach. Methods: Data were collected through seven focus groups with 28 parents of children with physical disabilities who were undergoing early intervention programs in three centres. The study followed the COREQ guidelines and checklist. Results: Two themes emerged from the experiences: 'exchange of information and education', which included all the activities, procedures, exercises and skills taught by the professionals to help parents care for their child; and 'interpersonal skills', which focused on the way the professional relates with the child and the parents. Several subthemes emerged within each theme. Conclusions: This study identified which elements of the professional-parent interaction are considered by parents when evaluating the quality of their interaction with the health care provider of their children. Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this study bring to light certain behaviours and interactions that health professionals should consider in order to improve the perceptions of parents of children with disabilities regarding the quality of interaction in the context of early childhood intervention. Patient or public contribution: Parents contributed to the data collected. Early intervention professionals were involved in participant checking to ensure the rigour of the study.
