ABSTRACT
The website Sexe Joves is a website on sexuality of the Department of Health of the Government of Catalonia (Spain). This study aims to understand the experiences and opinions of people aged 14 to 25 regarding this website, taking into account sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and location within Catalonia (urban, semiurban and rural areas). With the objective of improving the website and adpating the resources allocated to it, this study evaluates whether this population is familiar with it and uses it, as well as the website's usability and accessibility (digital equity), usefulness and the relevance of its content. A parallel convergent triangulation design is used: a qualitative study using a social constructivist perspective, and an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional quantitative study. We conduct a discourse analysis of participants and use an "ad hoc" questionnaire to collect quantitative data. A descriptive analysis of all variables is carried out. Affective-sexual education aimed at young people must stem from their participation and the whole range of sexual and gender diversity in order to reach the entire population equally. This analysis will contribute to the design of new strategies for the wesbite Sexe Joves, a public health resource, in order to improve affective-sexual education for young people.

OBJETIVO: Evaluar la efectividad de la administración de procaína subdérmica en bajas dosis en la cicatriz del parto vaginal o por cesárea para el alivio del dolor persistente posparto. Pacientes, material y métodos: Estudio observacional y prospectivo de abril de 2014 a marzo de 2016, en mujeres con dolor persistente después de 10 días posparto. Se valoraron: variables demográficas, variables clínicas y obstétricas, motivo de consulta, grado del dolor según la escala visual analógica (EVA), y número de dosis de tratamiento recibidas y coste por dosis. El tratamiento utilizado fue la inyección subdérmica con procaína (1 mg/kg) en sesiones quincenales, hasta conseguir un dolor ≤1 según la EVA. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 168 mujeres. La media de dolor antes del tratamiento fue de 5,52 en la escala EVA y de 0,17 al final, con una p <0,001. La edad mostró diferencias significativas interpacientes con una p <0,001, donde las pacientes mayores de 40 años tuvieron una valoración inicial del dolor más alta y por tanto necesitaron más sesiones, aunque también consiguieron un grado de dolor ≤1. El 80,9% de las pacientes terminaron el tratamiento a los 30 días con la tercera sesión. CONCLUSIÓN: La aplicación de procaína subdérmica está asociada a la disminución del dolor persistente posparto
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effectiveness of low doses of subdermal procaine administered into vaginal labor and C-section scars to alleviate persistent postpartum pain. Subjects, materials and methodology: Observational and prospective study carried out from April 2014 to March 2016 in I 71 women suffering from persistent pain after 10 days of postpartum. Variables taken into account: demographics, clinical and obstetric differences, pain level according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), amount of doses of treatment, and cost per dose. The treatment used was one subdermal injection of procaine ( I mg/kg) every two weeks until achieving a pain level of s I according to the VAS. RESULTS: 168 women were studied. The average pain level before treatment was 5.52 according to the VAS, and 0.17 after treatment (p < 0.00 I ). Age was one of the most significant differences among patients with a p < 0.001. Patients over 40 assessed their initial pain at a higher level and therefore needed more doses. However, they also achieved a pain level of ≤ 1.80.9% of patients finished their treatment after 30 days with their third dose. CONCLUSION: Applying subdermal procaine has shown to be effective in treating persistent postpartum pain
