Item Children's views on evacuation drills and school preparedness: Mapping experiences and unfolding perspectives(2018) Vásquez, Andrea; Marinkovic, Katitza; Bernales, Margarita; León, Jorge; González, Juan; Castro, SebastiánIntroduction and purpose of this study: Colegio Ingles is the largest and oldest school in the city of Iquique, the capital of Chile's northern Tarapaca Region. In accordance with the School Evacuation Plan, a drill was held in 2013 with the entire student body (n = 1600). The majority of the students had experienced the 2014 Pisagua earthquake. Considering the school's exposure to natural disasters and the experience of its students, we studied the perspectives of k-12 students relative to their school's evacuation plan for a major disaster, such as an earthquake and a tsunami. Materials and methods: The study applied a qualitative methodology for in-depth exploration and insight into the students’ perceptions of the school evacuation plan. The methods applied were: (i) focus groups and (ii) individual mapping exercises. The participants recruited (n = 31), included children between the ages of 11 and 18 years old. The collected information was analyzed through a thematic analysis using NVivo 11 software. Results: The results flagged significant issues that had not been considered during the development of the school evacuation plan, such as the family dimension, which in some cases is contradictory with the school evacuation plan, as well as the need of redefining the safe zones from a multidimensional perspective. Conclusions: More participation from children in the local planning of the school evacuation plan was seen as necessary in order to strengthen their preparedness in case of disaster, integrating their school evacuation plan and their family ones.Item Colección de 8 reportes sobre vida y salud de migrantes internacionales(Universidad del Desarrollo, 2017) Cabieses, Báltica; Bernales, Margarita; Obach, Alexandra; Mc Intyre, Ana María; Chepo, Macarena; Ajraz, Nassim; Gálvez, Piedad; Vicuña, José Tomás; Morales, Moises; Flaño, Javiera; Vásquez, Andrea; Bersano, Paz; Equipo Programa de Estudios Sociales en Salud; Cabieses, Báltica; Bernales, Margarita; Obach, Alexandra; Mc Intyre, Ana María; Chepo, Macarena; Ajraz, Nassim; Gálvez, Piedad; Vicuña, José Tomás; Morales, Moises; Flaño, Javiera; Vásquez, Andrea; Bersano, Paz; Equipo Programa de Estudios Sociales en SaludEsta colección nos entrega un análisis que aborda diferentes aspectos del vínculo que existe entre la migración y la salud, presentado a través de la mirada de los actores más relevantes: el gobierno central y local, la academia, la sociedad civil y las entidades prestadores de los servicios de salud.
