Introduction: Society associates palliative care with "death" or "end of life", which cause them fear and anxiety. In Spain, the media worsens the misunderstanding by depicting a wrong picture of palliative care. Educational innovation for university students may serve as an alternative communication strategy. Care and Society is a university course designed by and for students from non-health degrees to help disseminate the palliative care message. The first year of the Teach-Inn Pal project aims to evaluate the effects of the course and to identify areas of improvement.
Objective: To present an evaluation to determine if the course can work as a campaign to refocus the public opinion on palliative care and share the preliminary results of the pilot study.
Methodology: A prospective Participatory Action Research study. University students enrolled in the course (n = 29) are invited to test and redesign the palliative care message. Knowledge and empathy will be measured throughout the learning process. Afterwards, qualitative, thematic, inductive analysis of the course material will be carried out. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry under the name "Can a university course help communicate palliative care?" (Registration number: ISRCTN10236642).
Discussion: This study is part of a doctoral thesis. Education is used as a creative outlet, allowing rapid testing of multiple tools to create ambassadors of palliative care that may reframe the public opinion.
Conclusion: The understanding of students about palliative care changed, the overall impression of the experience was positive, and students were also able to explain palliative care to people with little or no experience in the topic. However, to determine if they became ambassadors the results of the mid-term assessment are required.

This article compares the Netflix miniseries Unbelievable (2019) with the journalistic works on which it is based in order to decide how fiction based on real events contributes to the journalistic narrative of sexual abuse. To that end, we accomplish a comparative and interpretative analysis that shows how the invented sequences and scenes contribute to show: the trauma and secondary victimization suffered by the victim; how an investigation should be carried out in order to minimize such suffering and dispel rape myths; and the different ways a woman may be the victim of abuse. This is achieved as the fiction allows us to focus on the perspective of the protagonists by showing their characters, feelings, motivation and the consequences for their private lives of both the trauma and the commitment to the victims. Thus, this analysis shows how fiction based on real events can make a story that has been covered by journalism more believable.

IntroductionThe message of palliative care can be promoted using creative thinking and gamification. It can be an innovative strategy to promote changes in behaviour, promote thinking, and work on skills such as empathy.AimDesign, test and evaluate a gamified social intervention to enhance palliative care awareness among young university students from non-health background.MethodsParticipatory action research study with mixed methods, Design Thinking and using the Public Engagement strategy. Forty-three undergraduate students participated in a Palliative Care Stay Room and completed the Test of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (TECA) before and after the game. At the end of the game, a ten-minute debriefing was held with the participants, which was concluded with an open conversation. The content analysis was done independently and the sum of the scores of each dimension was compared before and after the activity.FindingsThe Stay Room improved the participants' knowledge and new perspectives about palliative care. Before the game, their views focused on the end of life and after the game on their values, highlighting the dedication of the healthcare professionals who do not treat death but the life until death. After de game, participants (N = 43: female = 23; male = 20; x 19.6 years old) presented higher values in perspective adoption (intellectual ability to put oneself in the other's place) p = 0.046 and in emotional understanding (ability to recognize emotional states) p = 0.018, and had high scores on empathic joy (p = 0.08).ConclusionGamification can be used in teaching and transmitting positive attitudes. Palliative Care and can help young university students to think positively about care issues.

Society's understanding of palliative care has room for improvement. Although the World Health Organisation highlighted palliative care as a human right, many people still lack access to this crucial form of treatment. The paucity of understanding and social discussion surrounding palliative care has, moreover, negatively impacted its development and implementation. This study therefore aims to construct a strategy that will empower a specific community to solve their own palliative care-related misunderstandings. Using Participatory Action Research and Design Thinking methodologies and adopting the strategy of Public Engagement in Responsible Research and Innovation, a design group worked for three months through five virtual focus groups. Moving through the phases of empathizing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and testing, the design group generated 33 ideas to address palliative care-related problems. Ideas related to self-learning, the use of technology, and the exchange of personal experiences are highlighted as innovative ways to promote palliative care. The design group adopted a variety of strategies, used disruptive tools, and created and tested rapid prototypes to discover novel solutions. This method of working, centred on interdisciplinarity and creativity, presents an efficient way to involve the members of a community in solving their own problems.

Este artículo compara la miniserie de NBC The Thing About Pam (2022) con el pódcast periodístico en el que se basa, con el objetivo de determinar si la ficción corre el riesgo de desinformar a través de la caracterización de personajes inspirados en personas reales. La serie es un ejemplo paradigmático de una tendencia muy reciente, la de producir ficciones basadas en trabajos periodísticos donde se narra un delito reciente cometido por una mujer. Después de un estudio comparativo e interpretativo de la caracterización de la protagonista, se concluye que la serie, aunque mantiene los rasgos explicitados por el pódcast, ofrece una justificación al comportamiento del personaje que nada tiene que ver con lo averiguado por el periodismo. Esto, unido al hecho de que ambos trabajos comparten narrador, puede conducir a la desinformación de la audiencia sobre una historia real de un delito cuyo juicio todavía no se ha celebrado.

Background University students are the future professionals who will influence society. It is thus essential to improve students' understanding of palliative care (PC), especially those in the non-health field, to generate and encourage propitious opinions about PC. This study describes the perceptions of PC among university students from different disciplines. Method Qualitative exploratory study using virtual focus groups (FGs) and design thinking (DT) approach. An intentional sample of students from various disciplines, universities and cities from Spain were selected. Numerous researchers from different fields were involved in the discussion of the final thematic analysis. Results Four themes and seven subthemes were found: i) Students have an ambiguous understanding about PC; ii) PC is not a common issue for non-health students; ii) Students see PC as an important and necessary field; iii) Students build counter-narratives against PC myths, demonstrating PC brings key benefits into people's lives; iv) PC is a synonym of death. Conclusion Despite the fact that students do not know much about PC, the topic easily arouses reflection and positive discussion. Through the conversations they find positive values and arguments against misunderstand- ing. Students from different disciplines could be the target of innovative educational initia- tives and the social debate on PC.

Background Lack of social awareness is a major barrier to the development of palliative care. Mass media influences public opinion, and frequently deal with palliative care contributing to its image and public understanding. Aim To analyse how palliative care is portrayed in Spanish newspapers, as well as the contribution made by the press to its social representation. Design Based on criteria of scope and editorial plurality, four print newspapers were selected. Using the newspaper archive MyNews (www.mynews.es), articles published between 2009 and 2014 containing the words "palliative care" or "palliative medicine" were identified. Sociological discourse analysis was performed on the identified texts on two levels: a) contextual analysis, focusing on the message as a statement; b) interpretative analysis, considering the discourse as a social product. Results We examined 262 articles. Politician and healthcare professionals were the main representatives transmitting messages on palliative care. The discourses identified were characterised by: strong ideological and moral content focusing on social debate, strong ties linking palliative care and death and, to a lesser degree, as a healthcare service. The messages transmitted by representatives with direct experience in palliative care (professionals, patients and families) contributed the most to building a positive image of this healthcare practice. Overall, media reflect different interests in framing public understanding about palliative care. Conclusion The knowledge generated about how palliative care is reflected in the printed media may help to understand better one of the main barriers to its development not only in Spain, but also in other contexts.

Audio-visual materials play a fundamental role in the context of education, care and clinical treatment, as they seem to have a high impact on public awareness. This study aims to describe what messages are perceived by the society at an International Festival of Short Films and Art on Diseases that may help to understand difficult topics, such as illness, dying and suffering. Through an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, using full participant observation and an open, self-administered questionnaire, 32 short films were analysed during a healthcare art festival. Categories were developed using inductive content analysis. The message perceived by the participants, after the viewing of the shorts and reflection of the debates among the attendees, were considered in four categories: i) creative and positive education is possible; ii) awareness of preconception and practical duties; iii) meaning of life changes the experience of illness; iv) family and caregivers also experienced suffering. The short films are considered as an excellent tool to generate social dialogue and debate. Public events can be understood as an opportunity to acquire, in an emotional and critical manner, other competencies for public awareness. Together, they are capable of communicating difficult messages through a fast, positive, and creative way.

La biografía se introdujo en el periodismo de manera natural a través de los géneros retratísticos. En el siglo XIX, lo biográfico era un contenido sobre todo didáctico que se importaba de la historia o la literatura sin apenas modificaciones. Ya en el siglo XX, fue adaptándose poco a poco a las necesidades y peculiaridades de los incipientes y siempre cambiantes géneros periodísticos, buscando la actualidad de sus protagonistas o introduciendo progresivamente la vida privada y el carácter como contenido biográfico. Este artículo estudia la presencia, forma y contenido de los géneros retratísticos en unas publicaciones y una época claves en esta transformación de lo didáctico a lo periodístico: las revistas gráficas Estampa y Crónica, desde el inicio de la II República española y hasta el comienzo del Guerra Civil.

Introduction The goal of palliative care (PC) is to improve the quality of life of terminal stage patients and their families. The subject frequently appears in the mass-media and this helps create a socially accepted identity. The aim of this study is to describe and analyse PC related news items appeared in the Spanish written media. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed. Considering diffusion, scope and the range in editorial policy criteria, four printed newspapers (PN) were selected, together with four exclusively digital media sources (DM). Through Mynews, a newspaper content depository, and the search tool for each DM website, articles published between 2009 and 2014 which included the terms "palliative care" and "palliative medicine" were sought. A questionnaire was created to characterise each article identified and a descriptive analysis was undertaken. Results A total of 627 articles were identified, of which 359 (57%) were published in PN (42% in the printed editions -PE- 16% in their online editions -OE-) and 268 (43%) in DM. In general, they appeared mainly in sections concerning Health (23%), Culture and Society (18%) and General/Home News (15%). In PE, just 2% were found in the Health section and nearly 70% in Culture and Society and General/Home News. Most of the articles were informative in nature and contained socio-political messages (90%). Statements by PC professionals were found in 35% of the articles and by politicians in 32%. The most frequent content was related to facing end of life (74%) and patient quality of life (70%). Conclusions The Spanish written media reflects the socio-political interest aroused by PC. Nevertheless, messages circulating about PC do not describe professional practice, or the contribution of the same for patients. Content more in line with the clinical practice might help contribute to the development of this new area of medicine.

The aim of this article is to offer a theoretical framework in order to provide a better understanding of the main features of the first biographies published in the Spanish 19th century press. Building such a framework has only been possible through the study of the literary preceptives of that time where, as a matter of fact, biographies are hardly explained but are often classified as a historical or literary genre. An explanation of what it was meant by History, Literature and Biography at those times and which of those features could have contributed to the evolution of biographies in the press remain essential for an in-depth study of such a genre.

La necesidad de ser los más rápidos en dar las noticias y el uso inadecuado de Internet como fuente de documentación han derivado en los últimos años en un gran número de errores en los medios de comunicación, no sólo en España, sino también en el resto del mundo. Sucumbir a la velocidad deriva en no cotejar las fuentes, ambas cosas están siendo explotadas por el sector publicitario. El marketing viral se aprovecha de la red al lanzar un ¿engaño¿ a los espectadores, oyentes o lectores bajo la apariencia de noticias que dan el salto de forma automática a los medios de comunicación y que, finalmente, terminan revelándose como propuestas publicitarias, cuya función principal es vender un producto o propagar la adhesión a una determinada marca. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre cómo la velocidad interviene decididamente en la conformación de un universo de informaciones, desinformaciones y nuevas propuestas persuasivas, ejemplificando esas ¿historias de velocidad en los medios¿ a través del análisis de algunos casos ocurridos en España en los últimos años

La biografía como género histórico-literario se introduce en la prensa española de forma habitual en las revistas ilustradas del siglo XIX. En ellas comienza su transformación en género periodístico al empezar a responder a una finalidad informativa y a retratar personajes de actualidad. La revista más significativa en este cambio fue La Ilustración. Periódico Universal (1849-1857), ya que fue la pionera en publicar de modo habitual biografías según parámetros informativos y no sólo didácticos. Por medio del análisis y clasificación de sus textos biográficos, este artículo pretende contribuir al estudio de los orígenes de uno de los géneros del periodismo literario con más permanencia en la prensa, pero menos investigado.

La biografía, como género histórico-literario, se introduce en la prensa española
de forma habitual en las revistas ilustradas del siglo XIX. Una de las primeras fue El
Artista (1835-1836), donde lo biográfico adquiere un gran peso al ser el modo de dar
a conocer y defender a los artistas nacionales. El estudio y clasificación de estos
textos permite observar cómo la biografía empieza a amoldarse a las finalidades de
la prensa pero manteniendo aún su naturaleza eminentemente literaria. Este estudio
de los orígenes de uno de los géneros del periodismo literario con más permanencia
en la prensa permitirá ir comprendiendo mejor sus características y peculiaridades
en la actualidad.
