    This study examined the background before admission to a nursing home and the conditions for the continuity of care, of the relatives of older adults of Colombia and Spain. The study sample comprised 546 participants: 278 and 268 from Colombia and Spain, respectively. Structured interviews were conducted with the older adults’ relatives. Sociodemographic similarities predominated, although in the Colombian sample there were significantly more unrelated people. Similarities in previous and current care conditions also predominated too. Cluster 1 included all the cases of Colombian low-resource nursing homes, and Cluster 2 included all the relatives of Colombian highresource nursing homes and all the Spanish centers. The type of nursing home was the variable more important to identify the abovementioned clusters. Conclusions: Family members from Colombia and Spain continue to care for the elderly admitted to geriatric homes. The type of geriatric center is what establishes the differences in the users.

    (Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2012) Blanca Gutiérrez, J.J.; Linares Abad, M.; Grande Gascón, ML.; Aranda Marín, D.J.
    Objetivo: El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar y teorizar sobre las relaciones personales que se establecen en el seno de los hogares para ancianos. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo de tipo interpretativo construido a partir del desarrollo de teoría fundamentada. El lugar de realización han sido los 6 hogares para ancianos de la comarca de la campiña sur de Córdoba, en el sur de España. Los participantes han sido 16 residentes y 4 profesionales de estos centros. La recogida de información se ha realizado a través de entrevistas en profundidad. Resultados: En el contexto de las residencias de personas mayores hay principalmente tres grupos humanos que interaccionan con el mayor: los compañeros residentes, el compañero o compañeros de cuarto (si comparten dormitorio) y las personas que lo cuidan. Se han construido una serie de roles en cada una de estos grupos de convivientes, para la cual nos vamos a basar en la dimensionalización de algunas características de estas personas. La situación en uno u otro de estos roles no es estática ni permanente, las personas pueden ir cambiando de unos a otros en función de las diversas circunstancias.

    Sociosanitary legal and economic aspects in nursing homes for the elderly in Spain
    (MDPI, 2023-03-10) Vilaplana Prieto, Cristina; Gómez Martínez, Carmelo S.; Echevarría Pérez, Paloma; Legaz Pérez, Isabel; Ciencias Sociosanitarias
    Aim: The study aimed to identify and compare aspects of the different Spanish regulations on the minimum conditions that nursing homes must meet and to compare whether these requirements significantly affect the price of a nursing home place in each region. Methods: We analyzed and compared the 17 regional regulations that must be met by nursing homes in terms of equipment and social and healthcare staff and combined this information with regional information concerning the price and coverage of public and subsidized places in nursing homes. Results: The study revealed significant regional inequality in physical facilities and human resources. However, the number of regulatory measures referring to the mandatory availability of physical space or specific material resources was not positively correlated with an increase in the price of a place in a public or subsidized nursing home. Conclusions: No unified regulations throughout Spain regulate the aspects that residential centers must comply with. There is a need to move towards a person-centered approach, providing an environment as close to home as possible. The regulation of minimum standards to be met by all nursing homes at the national level should not significantly impact prices.
