Summary
Gender violence is a serious problem that affects women around the world, including in universities. Gender violence, recognized as a form of discrimination that prevents the full exercise of women's rights, includes physical, sexual, psychological and economic harm. In universities, international studies show high rates of violence in relationships, with many victims knowing their attackers and facing barriers to reporting due to lack of institutional support. The general objectives of this study are to analyze gender violence among students at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and to explore in depth their experiences and perceptions of this phenomenon. The hypotheses raised are that current policies and resources at USC are perceived as insufficient, that students have limited knowledge about available resources, and that gender violence negatively impacts the psychological well-being and academic performance of students. The methodology is based on a mixed approach that combines quantitative and qualitative techniques. This combination of approaches allows a deep understanding of the phenomenon and provides valuable information for the prevention and intervention in gender violence in the university environment.

Summary
Juvenile delinquency is a problem of great concern due to its individual and social consequences. Criminal behavior in minors not only affects victims and communities, but also shapes the future of young offenders. This literature review focuses on the impact of the family network on the criminal behavior of minors, key in the formation of values and behaviors based on theories such as Bowlby's attachment theory and Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory. These theories explain how dysfunctional family environments can predispose to juvenile delinquency. Factors such as poor parental supervision, intra-family conflicts and adverse socioeconomic conditions have shown significant correlation with criminal behavior. The quality of the relationship between parents and children emerges as crucial, since the lack of affection and consistent discipline can lead young people to seek recognition in problematic environments. This work seeks to understand how family dynamics influence juvenile delinquency, which is essential to improve prevention and treatment strategies through a narrative bibliographic review.

Summary
This Final Degree Project is a narrative literature review, in which the influence of attachment in people with problematic substance use or substance use disorders is analized. Regarding search strategy, five databases were consulted, selecting only free access journal articles that used Bowlby’s Attachment Theory, published in the last 30 years and written in spanish, english or translated into the former. For its realization, 30 articles were chosen, of which 13 of them were finally utilized. It was found that more than the half of the papers confirmed the existence of a correlation between insecure attachment style and substance use disorders. As to the results obtained from the analyzed articles, they turned out to be significant for the discipline of Social Work, since by understanding the way people interact it is possible to create a more solid therapeutic alliance and also be aware of what a person can expect from others, as well as knowing what their limitations and capacities are, adapting to the needs of each case to guarantee quality assistance this way.

Summary
This Final Degree Project consists of a theoretical narrative literature review on dual pathology and its intervention. A total of 25 documents were selected on the basis of previously determined selection criteria: language, year of publication and those corresponding to the topic selected for the review. The search was carried out in Dialnet, Scielo and Google Academy, free databases. The main objective of the work is to study the conceptualisation of dual pathology. According to the documents consulted and reviewed, it is concluded that dual pathology is an issue that should be given more visibility as it is of great relevance and it is necessary to treat it as an individualised pathology, so that its rehabilitation would be more effective for the users. As specific objectives, we investigate the models of intervention, the challenges for the future and the importance of social intervention. As well as the importance of continuous research for the improvement of the quality of life of the people who suffer from it.

Summary
The medical advance in the 20th and early 21st century has increased life expectancy, but death is part of the life process of the human being. Bioethics arises to address ethical conflicts in medical care, promoting a more participatory relationship and a less paternalistic and more communicative care model. In Spain, Advance Wills or Prior Instructions arrive to lead us to an approach more focused on effective communication and shared decision-making. Shared Care Planning (PCA) arises as an evolution of previous concepts, focusing on developing a care plan focused on the person and oriented on communication between the doctor, the patient and the patient's family. This project focuses on investigating the role of Health Social Work in the Shared Planning of Care through interviews with the seven heads of service of the Social Work Unit of each health area of Galicia.

Summary
This Final Degree Project is a mixed research project whose main objective is to analyze the discrimination suffered by bisexual people in Galicia and to investigate whether this affects their vital development. The people under study are bisexual adult people who reside in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. This project seeks to understand the reality of bisexual people, how biphobia influences their lives and what the main consequences are. Bisexuality suffers from a major problem not only of invisibility but also of lack of categorization as its own identity. This has important repercussions for bisexual people, among whom we find higher rates of mental health problems, low percentages of coming out and high probabilities of suffering gender and sexual violence, in the case of women. This project arises from the need to make visible a reality that continues to be very unknown, for the general population but also for social science professionals. Therefore, it is considered vitally important to address this issue from the field of Social Work. To carry out this analysis, the semi-structured interview and the survey are used as data collection tools, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Summary
Housing First is an intervention methodology that addresses chronic homelessness by providing stable housing for people in a state of homelessness with high support needs without requiring sobriety or abstinence. This approach contrasts with traditional ladder systems of care that seek to enable clients to live independently in a home of their own. This state-of-the-art narrative literature review aims to review the scientific literature on the results of the Housing First model in Europe. Following the methodological strategy designed, eleven searches were carried out in three databases: Dialnet, Scopus and Web of Science, from which 580 results were obtained. After applying filters and exclusion and inclusion criteria, 16 articles were selected to analyse them based on their bibliometric and thematic variables. These articles present research carried out in thirteen different countries, mainly Spain and France, and are published between 2017 and 2024 in eleven journals on different topics. The results of the Housing First programme that are most addressed in the articles are: experiences, perspectives and user-professional relationship, housing retention and use of social and health services. The analysis and contrasting studies show that the Housing First model has positive effects mainly in terms of housing stability. However, due to the lack of research evaluating long-term outcomes, the results pertaining to other areas are inconclusive.

Summary
In Uganda, women living with HIV face a complex set of challenges ranging from limited access to health care and treatment to social stigma and discrimination embedded in the culture. Despite improvements in HIV prevention and treatment in the country, women continue to face significant barriers to using appropriate health services due to socio- cultural factors. Stigma and discrimination towards women with HIV persist in many Ugandan communities, making it difficult for these women to seek resources and social support. This qualitative research project aims to analyse the experiences of women medically diagnosed with HIV from Uganda. In terms of methodology, the socio-critical paradigm and the biographical narrative method will be used. On the other hand, the type of sampling used will be firstly the snowball or chain sampling strategy, and secondly, convenience sampling will be used. The technique to be employed in this research project will be life histories, and the instruments used will include narrative interviews, the biogram and the life line, both for women with HIV and their family members. Finally, data analysis will be carried out using Nvivo software version 14.3.4. And the duration of the qualitative research project will be from February 2024 until de year 2025.

Summary
Ageism is a type of invisible discrimination that is present in the reality of older people. With the passage of time, the population is undergoing a gradual aging, which is reflected in an increase in older people in our society, so ageism is becoming more important. Despite this, media such as cinema act as promoters of ageism, promoting stereotypes and prejudices about the elderly, affecting their mental and physical health. This happens in both conventional cinema and animated films, which becomes more important because minors, the target audience of animated films, are more susceptible to influence and form their attitudes and beliefs based on the image that films represent of older people. Therefore, the main objective of this qualitative research project is to analyze the perception of 8 and 9-year-old children in Ferrol about the image that is projected of older people in animated films and to explore the idea they have about older people, evaluating the possible existence of ageism in animated films. All this through two focus groups and based on an interpretativist paradigm. This project is approached from a Social Work perspective, providing strategies to achieve the eradication of ageism and functions of the discipline to contribute to its elimination.

Summary
This work is aimed at knowing the causes and consequences that lead people over 65 years of age who live alone to experience the feeling of unwanted loneliness. The population analyzed is specifically indicated, which is the town hall of A Estrada, which belongs to the province of Pontevedra. Where first the meaning of loneliness itself and the factors that lead people to find themselves in this situation are explored through different existing research on the subject, and then a mixed methodology is used, where through two approaches (quantitative and qualitative) will be explored using two research techniques, which are the questionnaire and the interview, with this specific population to understand and analyze the reality, more closely, of these people. Finally, the schedule is also detailed, which indicates the times in which this research will be carried out and its dissemination plan.

Summary
This document presents a research project on access to health services for LGTBI people in rural Galicia. This project focuses on three areas in which a social work professional can act and which can be determining factors for a person to be at risk or in a situation of exclusion: health, sexual diversity and the rural environment. The two main objectives of this research are to analyse which specific health resources for LGTBI people reach the Galician countryside and to investigate the perception that health and social work professionals have of the accessibility and effectiveness of these services. The main hypothesis is that LGTBI people in rural areas are in a situation of greater exclusion due to the area in which they live. It is considered that there are social determinants that can negatively affect the social inclusion of people who live in rural areas and not those who live in urban centres or more populated cities where access to resources is easier. On the other hand, in order to facilitate the understanding of the subject under study, a theoretical framework is included in the work, made up of sections that may be useful, such as a conceptual delimitation, a review of previous studies and their conclusions, the functions of Social Work in this field, current legislation, etc. Finally, it is important to highlight that the methodology used for the implementation of this project corresponds to a mixed methodology, the data will be obtained through self-administered questionnaires to health personnel and in-depth interviews with social workers in the health sector, all in Galician municipalities of less than 2,500 inhabitants.

Summary
Trafficking in children for the purpose of sexual exploitation is a hidden and invisible phenomenon in the eyes of society. This phenomenon is a serious violation of human rights, with children being a particularly vulnerable group. Trafficking is a multi-causal problem, affected by various risk factors such as gender, origin, economic and social situa-tion. The consequences are devastating at the physical, psychological and social levels. In order for victims to be able to leave and achieve full integration into society, it is essential to intervene and work from Social Work. This Final Degree Project aims to address and explore the phenomenon of traffi-cking and to find out the degree of awareness of third year students at the Santiago de Compostela University School of Social Work in this regard. For this purpose, a qualitative research project will be carried out, whose main ob-jective is to determine the perception of third-year students of the EUTS about the pheno-menon of trafficking in minors for the purpose of sexual exploitation. In order to achieve this aim, a structured interview will be conducted with those students who voluntarily agree to participate in the project. The interview consists of 8 open-ended questions, de-signed to obtain a greater amount of information in the answers. All interviews will be anonymous, ensuring confidentiality and data protection.

Summary
The design that is made is a qualitative research project. It develops within the framework of the A Coruña University Hospital Complex (CHUAC), specifically in the palliative care unit of the Oza hospital. Its general objective is to analyze the occurrence of familial claudication in patients receiving palliative care, understanding why it occurs and how it is often a decision that they have to make against themselves due to the disability that they have. It means taking charge of their care and not because they really deny the patients. The population under study are the Grade I relatives of the patients who are in the palliative care unit of the Oza Hospital in A Coruña. Finally, the data collection procedure in this qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews where the opinion of said relatives is analyzed, who will previously give their consent to participate in the project.

Summary
The feminization of poverty has currently become a social problem worldwide due to its prevalence and impact on the different spheres of women's lives. This problem has its origin in the different gender inequalities that have occurred throughout history and that, today, are maintained through different mechanisms and aspects of social reality. This, along with other exclusion factors, significantly interferes with women's well-being. Starting from this basis, a mixed research project is proposed on the perception of this phenomenon in the Galician population. The quantitative part will be carried out through a voluntary online questionnaire to the Galician population and, the qualitative part, through semi-structured interviews with social workers who work with the group of women in situations of poverty and/or social exclusion. Both would be focused on knowing the current social perception of the topic. Based on this, the main objectives of the research are determined to analyze the perception of the Galician population regarding the feminization of poverty and to investigate the opinion and knowledge of social work professionals about current strategies and measures and those that must be implemented to solve this problem. Finally, the main hypothesis of the research is determined that the Galician population does not consider sex to be a decisive variable in a person's level of poverty.

Summary
In Spain, there has been a growing interest in research on loneliness, with an increase in the use of the term unwanted loneliness which is defined as the discrepancy between the social relationships desired by a person and those actually experienced. The main aim of this literature review is to examine the scientific production on unwanted loneliness in older people. The methodology employed involves a theoretical narrative literature review carried out in the Dialnet, Pubmed and Scielo databases. After applying the relevant selection criteria, 30 articles were identified. In addition, a series of bibliometric and thematic variables were established in order to carry out a more detailed analysis of the selected documents. According to the results collected, the most common risk factors are differentiated into biological (age, gender, degenerative diseases) and socio-demographic (marital status, educational level, income level, way of life) among which the following predominate: loss of loved ones, social isolation, health and mobility problems, life changes (retirement, moving house), being a woman, being single or widowed, having low educational levels, low income and living alone. On the other hand, loneliness in older people can have a number of negative impacts on their physical and mental well-being. Some of these common impacts include mental health problems, cognitive decline, physical problems, increased mortality, reduced quality of life, social isolation and impact on immune function. Currently, social work interventions not only seek to mitigate loneliness, but also to improve the quality of life and promote the active participation of older people, adapting interventions to individual needs and unique circumstances.

Summary
People´s life expectancy is increasing, resulting in a very aged population; given this phenomenon, dependency situations are constantly increasing, so effective responses must be provided through resources available to citizens, such as day centers, with the aim of offering comprehensive care for those people who need it. Starting from this idea, the following research design emerges, whose main objective is to study the perception of older people who attend a day center regarding the improvement in their quality of life. Finally, mention that the methodology that will be used in this study is qualitative, through an interpretive paradigm and using an intentional sample. Thus, the aim is to collect information through an individual and open interview with the selected people in order to collect their opinions and experiences in relation to day centers.

Summary
Social Work in Funeral Homes is presented as a new and unknown field of work for most of the population, but at the same time as a relief for the profession in relation to other areas. For this reason, the aim of this research is to analyse the degree of knowledge and the perception that social workers have of the new field of work in funeral homes. The methodology used in this research is qualitative through the constructivist paradigm with a type of key informant sampling. Focus groups are used in the data collection procedure.

Social Work in Funeral Homes is presented as a new and unknown field of work for most of the population, but at the same time as a relief for the profession in relation to other areas. For this reason, the aim of this research is to analyse the degree of knowledge and the perception that social workers have of the new field of work in funeral homes. The methodology used in this research is qualitative through the constructivist paradigm with a type of key informant sampling. Focus groups are used in the data collection procedure. These will be created from the contacts provided by the key informants, who will provide 36 people from the different Official Associations of Social Work in Spain, who will be divided into 4 focus groups of 9 people each. The data obtained will allow us to generate knowledge and give visibility, which is the aim of this research.

This Final Degree Project corresponds to a direct social intervention project of a group nature, which aims to increase social care in a comprehensive manner to those families whose coexistence unit is made up of people in oncological situation and who, in turn, has charge to a minor person, belong to the Área Sanitaria de Santiago de Compostela y Barbanza. This intervention project will be carried out through a series of talks and workshops of various kinds, with the aim of improving and strengthening positive family dynamics, which will contribute to the prevention of possible family breakdown. Thus, the appearance and presence of the disease indirectly causes a heterogeneity of changes in multiple areas that affect both the maintenance and progress of the family units of coexistence, as well as that of its components, so it is essential to preserve their social health and thus cover, to the extent possible, the social needs derived from said situation. This social intervention project adapts to the proposal presented by García Herrero and Ramírez Navarro in the manual Diseño y evaluación de proyectos sociales (1996) and in the Manual práctico para evaluar proyectos sociales (2006), created by these same authors. In this way, from this approach, the tactical reference to which this project aims to contribute comes from the program titled Todos Contra el Cáncer (Everyone Against Cancer), created by the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (2022) and proclaimed iniciative Acontecimiento de Excepcional Interés Público by the Gobierno de España.

Summary
This qualitative research Project addresses the contextualization of social factors in high- level athletes residing in A Coruña who members of the Galician Sports Federation are, aged between 18 and 25, and diagnosed with Eating Disorders. The topic of elite athletes diagnosed with Eating Disorders is crucial for Social Work, as it allows addressing the intersection between mental health and sports performance. Identifying and treating these disorders helps improve the quality of life and performance of athletes, promoting comprehensive care that considers both emotional and physical well-being. Additionally, it raises awareness about the importance of creating healthy and supportive sports environments. The general objective is to identify the social factors linked to eating disorders in elite athletes, as this allows for the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies. Understanding these factors enables Social Work professionals to design programs and policies that address the social pressures faced by athletes. Regarding methodology, we use the paradigm of critical theory and the participatory action research method, which is based on people through social action. The type of sampling employed is theoretical intentional sampling, characterized by the selection of participants according to the judgment or criteria of the researcher. We use data triangulation by informants, where the first vertex consists of young people aged 18 to 25 who practice high-performance sports, the second vertex consists of their families, and the third vertex refers to their coaches. Regarding the data collection and processing procedure, we will use the metaplan technique, which promotes equitable participation without individual influences, with a moderator facilitating understanding. The software program Atlas.Ti 22.2 is selected as the main tool to carry out this content analysis. It is a widely recognized software program in the field of qualitative research that facilitates the analysis of textual and multimedia data through various techniques, such as content analysis, thematic analysis, and semantic network analysis. The research will last from February 2024, when the document review begins, until February 2025, when the final report will be issued.

Summary
The use of psychoactive substances is one of the biggest and most serious health problems in the world. This problem has existed for a long time and has evolved over the years. The existence of these substances has led to their prohibition or legalisation. The following project will try to contextualise the world of psychoactive substances by focusing on cannabis, as well as on the possible regulation and/or legalisation of cannabis. In addition to contextualising psychoactive substances and cannabis itself, this project focuses on showing the legal side of the substance, i.e. the main laws surrounding cannabis and some parliamentary proposals that have emerged in recent years. It will also analyse the role of social workers in this field and the intervention process they carry out. This is a qualitative research project in which the general objective is to analyse the perspective that 4th year Social Work students have about the legalisation of cannabis in Spain. In terms of methodology, this project takes into account the interpretative paradigm. The participants in this project are the 4th year students of Social Work at the University School of Santiago de Compostela and the type of sample used is non-probabilistic. This project will be carried out through a structured interview with the participants, who will be selected on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria chosen.

Summary
Throughout this document, a qualitative research project is presented, with the general objective of analyzing the possible relationship between racism and mental health in African American individuals. The aim is to conduct research within a community in Galicia of African American people to draw pertinent conclusions about their mental health in relation to the discrimination they have suffered. The methodology details that the paradigm to be used is critical theory, as it aims to understand and question power structures and social differences. Based on this, the ethnographic method is employed, which allows a view of racism from the cultural perspective of the people. The participants are young people between 18 and 29 years old of African American population and residents in the autonomous community of Galicia. For this, homogeneous sampling is applied since the selected units share the same characteristics, highlighting the process of racism in this population. A gatekeeper is used for field entry to facilitate it and the selection of participants to conduct interviews, discussion groups and participant observation as data collection techniques. Content analysis is the type of analysis employed, and the software used will be Atlas.ti version 23. Abductive reasoning is used to establish a relationship between theories and data. The research begins in the month of November and continues through December.

Advances in medical care have significantly increased life expectancy, resulting in an aging population that needs specific assistance and care. In this context, informal caregivers, generally unskilled and unpaid family members, play a crucial role in the support and care of these senior people. However, this role entails a considerable physical and psychological burden, affecting the quality of life of both the caregivers and the people receiving care, thus generating the situation known as informal caregiver overload. To address this problem, an intervention project is presented following the model of Ander Egg (2005) and that of Gustavo A. García Herrero and José Manuel Ramírez Navarro (2003) for the sections of scheduling, budget and evaluation indicators. The objective is to reduce overload by developing a set of physical, psychological and social support activities to improve the well-being and quality of life of the caregivers of the Fisterra City Council, and in this way also improve the care they offer to people dependent elderly.

Summary
The armed conflicts constitute a social issue that triggers a series of consequences, both for civilian population and military personnel, including a negative impact on the mental health of military individuals and their surroundings. The general objective of this review is to analyze the scientific literature regarding the mental health issues of military personnel after armed conflicts from the perspective of Social Work. The methodological strategy employed in this narrative literature review of the state of the art regarding mental health issues in military personnel after military conflicts begins with a search in databases: Scopus, Dialnet, Eric, PsycInfo, WoS, and Pubmed, using, in the latter two, DeCS and MeSH to find scientific literature on this subject, with a limitation from 2009 to 2024, in English and Spanish. Out of the 2640 articles retrieved, after selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, application of filters, and selection based on title, abstract, and finally the body of the article, the final result was 15 articles. The main findings indicate that wars cause numerous psychological pathologies, as well as a loss of trust and security, and a total disintegration of society, with the most common diagnoses being Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression. It is concluded that the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the most addressed topic, followed by strong stigma and self-stigma, resulting in military personnel not seeking appropriate attention, and the need for military personnel to reintegrate optimally into the community. Therefore, a direct intervention from social work, both individually and familially from a social perspective, is necessary to enable proper reintegration of veterans into society.

Summary
The social exclusion of ex-prisoners is situated within a highly complex social context, where their reintegration into society following their time in the penitentiary system presents a significant challenge. Currently, this group suffers from stigmas and obstacles in accessing basic services or resources, which can lead to exclusionary situations, negatively affecting various aspects of their lives and their chances of reintegration into society. This topic will be addressed through a research project with a qualitative methodology, aiming to analyze the experiences of ex-prisoners in relation to social exclusion. The paradigm of this qualitative research project is Critical Theory, which will allow the identification of the difficulties this group faces in achieving reintegration, and will also employ the narrative-biographical method. A triangulation of informants will be used, including the individuals in this situation and their families, in order to gain a holistic and in-depth understanding of this issue. The data collection instrument will be semi-structured interviews, analyzed using a narrative analysis supported by MAXQDA software. The research will run from February 2024 to July 2025.

Summary
The consumption of psychoactive substances is something that is increasingly present and known in society, but at the same time it shows the unknowns that still exist in this regard, especially related to relapses in the consumption of psychoactive substances. Society is aware of its most psychological and biological aspects, but what about its social aspects? What changes in the person's environment can lead them to use psychoactive substances again? This qualitative methodology research project aims to expand the understanding of how social factors can have a great impact on the way people consume substances, focusing in this case on the population of the health area of Santiago de Compostela. Data collection will be carried out through an interview, to know in an individualized and specialized way the experiences, thoughts and opinions of this population. Making the situation of people with this type of addictions visible is essential for the creation and updating of resources and treatments that help people live as healthy a life as possible.

Summary
Lewy body dementia is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia in people over 75 years old. It is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of proteins in the brain, leading to cognitive problems, movement disorders, and changes in autonomic function. Common non-motor symptoms include sleep disorders, visual hallucinations, and depression. While depression is significant in the diagnostic criteria, it is not essential for diagnosing Lewy body dementia. Lewy body dementia presents significant challenges to the mental health and social well-being of individuals, especially concerning depression. However, the understanding of how this interaction affects individuals is still limited. Therefore, the objective of this research is to explore the construct of social well-being in people with depression who have a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia. This research project employs an exploratory qualitative methodology from a sociocritical paradigm, promoting the direct participation of affected individuals in identifying solutions and implementing concrete actions. The phenomenological method will be used to explore this experience from a holistic perspective, uncovering underlying meanings and perceptions. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups will be conducted with participants selected through purposeful sampling via the FEAFES Federation in Santiago de Compostela. The collected data will be analyzed thematically using the software Atlas.ti to identify key patterns, themes, and narratives until theoretical saturation is reached. Data interpretation will be performed through abductive reasoning, generating hypotheses based on the study's observations. This research will be carried out throughout the year, beginning with a literature review in February and producing the final report in December for data dissemination in 2025.

Summary
Migration is a process that has been present over the years in Spain. The circumstances by which people decide to migrate to another country are diverse, but always with the aim of improving the quality of life. When people migrate, they see themselves in the need to accept various jobs that the Spanish population does not exercise. In the case of women, job offers are mostly dedicated to the child care, cleaning, care for the elderly and in and attention to the elderly and the hospitality sector. These jobs are generally given in irregular situations, with very low salaries, with poor working conditions and with an hourly overload. The general objective of this qualitative research project is to analyze the experience, perception and opinion of immigrant women about the work activity they carry out in Vilagarcía de Arousa. The methodology that is used has a qualitative approach based on the interpretive paradigm, whose method is phenomenology. The data collection process will be done through individual and group interviews, using a series of inclusion and exclusion criteria for immigrant women of working age who reside in the municipality of Vilagarcía de Arousa. In the interviews, the necessary data will be collected for subsequent analysis and treatment through a specific program and always respecting the ethical and legal aspects corresponding to the interview and the investigation.

Summary
This paper is a systematic review of the scientific literature on the social barriers faced by MENAs. Once we have collected and analysed the articles of interest, we have compared and highlighted the evidence and conclusions drawn from the literature. In this sense, most authors highlight the need for improvement in the legal regulation that minors have to face. There is also considerable agreement on the victimisation suffered by this group, and how this makes them even more vulnerable. Precisely for this reason, a large part of the studies found underline the importance of socio-educational intervention and the need for professionals working with minors to be aware of their migration experiences in order to design effective integration and support programmes.

Summary
One in four people will suffer from a mental disorder in their lifetime, mental health disorders constitute a problem that, if prolonged over time, can become chronic and transform into a Serious Mental Disorder. The mental condition of people suffering from a Severe Mental Disorder can lead to a lack of impulse control or a lack of awareness of social responsibility, as well as a greater degree of vulnerability when facing a judicial process, which can lead them to commit criminal acts and end up with a prison sentence. This literature review aims to analyse the literature on the treatment of people with severe mental disorders in penitentiary institutions, specifically in general regime prisons, focusing on the work carried out in the field of social work in this institution and especially on the rehabilitation process of people suffering from this type of disorder.

Summary
The evolution of the population pyramid in Spain, as in Galicia, has been experiencing an increase in the aging population in recent years; The population is increasingly older and, with this, the situations of dependency and need for care and attention for this population group also increase. With this, and due to the ethics of care that shapes, among others, current social values, non-professional care has been and continues to be commonly exercised in situations of dependency on older people. Therefore, this research project will aim to analyze the attention and care provided by non-professional caregivers in the family environment of dependent elderly people. To do this, the methodology used will be qualitative, which will be based on the bases of the interpretive paradigm. In addition, the information collected for said qualitative research will be obtained through open, semi-structured interviews individually with each participating person. Finally, the results of the research will be analyzed and subsequently disseminated, taking into account the appropriate ethical and legal aspects that may influence it.

Summary
This research arises from the need to make visible the people in a situation of homelessness, who despite their constant presence in our society, have always been a marginalized and stigmatized group with little recorded information. The aim is to analyze the access of these people to social benefits, focusing on the Minimum Living Income. To this end, we will analyze the number of applicants and beneficiaries of this benefit in Santiago de Compostela during the year 2023, observing their sociodemographic profile, the impediments to accessing this aid, and alternatives to it. Considering that the Minimum Living Income is a recently implemented benefit, we observe that 31.5% of homeless people have received these incomes, with an average wait of 8 months from application to grant, and that 28% of the applications made have been denied.

Summary
Gender violence and addictions are two problems in society that are connected to each other and affect anyone. Gender violence can be physical, sexual or psychological and has consequences on the lives of the victims. Women who suffer gender violence may turn to addictions as a form of escape or to cope with existing emotional trauma, but it is also true that addictions can increase a person's vulnerability to being a victim of gender violence, as it can reduce their ability to make decisions and protect themselves or their children. Therefore, addictions can be both a cause and a consequence of gender violence. The prevention and treatment of these two problems requires a multidisciplinary approach and only through a joint and coordinated effort can women live free of gender violence and addictions. In this work, we propose to carry out qualitative research to understand in depth the relationship that exists between addictions and gender violence, in addition to the current resources that they can resort to. To carry out this research, a semi-structured interview and an observation of different documents will be carried out.

Summary
The situation of dependency is increasingly present in our daily lives, the existing resources are scarce and do not reach all people, which is why more and more people are cared for by family members, without training in care and without experience. Caring for people in a situation of dependency is increasingly present in the reality of many non-professional caregivers due to various factors such as the aging that exists in Galicia and the characteristics and needs of the Galician population. The general objective of this research project is to analyze the routine of non-professional caregivers of people in a situation of dependency. It is worth mentioning that the methodology of this project is based on qualitative research from a socio-critical paradigm, which allows us to know in detail the group selected to carry out the study because it focuses on the dialogue that the people themselves verbalize through of their stories. The method to select the participating population is convenience sampling and the life story technique will be used. The participants will be non-professional caregivers of Curtis age who care for someone with a recognized degree of dependency at home. The research is expected to last 18 months without counting the time that will be used to disseminate the results.

Summary
This qualitative research project focuses on family claudications, a phenomenon that affects many families today, including patients cared for at the Meixoeiro Hospital in Vigo. In the context of a health care system facing increasing demands for care, it is crucial to understand how these caregivers are affected in their daily lives. The overall aim is to explore the changes that caregivers experience after caring for a family member. To do so, a qualitative methodology will be used, selecting a purposive sample of caregivers aged 45-55 years. Through semi-structured interviews, an in-depth understanding of their experiences, coping strategies and the impact on their quality of life will be sought. This approach will capture the multiple dimensions of their reality, providing a detailed insight into the challenges and adaptations they face. The research will address emotional, physical and social aspects, offering a holistic perspective on family care in the current context.

To do so, a qualitative methodology will be used, selecting a purposive sample of caregivers aged 45-55 years. Through semi-structured interviews, an in-depth understanding of their experiences, coping strategies and the impact on their quality of life will be sought. This approach will capture the multiple dimensions of their reality, providing a detailed insight into the challenges and adaptations they face. The research will address emotional, physical and social aspects, offering a holistic perspective on family care in the current context.

The present Final Degree Project corresponds to a mixed research project that aims to find out the relationship between the fact of being a victim of bullying and the probability of suffering mental health disorders in adolescence, more specifically: depression. The research questions to be answered are: does being a victim of bullying increase the risk of mental health disorders? How do administrations deal with cases of bullying? In order to answer these questions, the general objective is to increase knowledge about the relationship between being a victim of bullying and the possibility of developing a depressive disorder in adolescents. Likewise, a broad theoretical framework is elaborated, providing information about the topics of interest related to the selected theme: mental health, depression, bullying, relevant legislation, national programmes of action and prevention... all this in order to relate it to the discipline of Social Work and its role in the promotion of health. The methodology of this research is intended to be carried out in the educational environment, selecting an adolescent population between 12 and 17 years of age from 4 secondary schools in the area of Santiago de Compostela, obtaining an approximation of the researched reality. The data collection techniques will be both quantitative and qualitative, carrying out an interview and a survey. As far as the chronology is concerned, it is expected that the time of the research will not exceed 11 months (from september to july), which corresponds more or less to the academic year.

Summary
This Final Degree Project focuses on the figure of social work in the field of gender violence, proposing a research at the Centre for Integral Recovery for Women Victims of Gender Violence (CRI) in Santiago de Compostela. The purpose of the project is to provide a detailed overview of the consequences that emerge during women's recovery processes. Violence often persists, causing ongoing and increasing harm to women. In some cases, sons and daughters are used to engage in what is known as vicarious violence. The general objective of the study is to analyze the main problems encountered by women victims of gender-based violence after being treated at the CRI. To achieve this objective, a mixed methodology is used that combines the use of interviews and questionnaires, allowing a detailed understanding of the experiences of the women served. This study aims to establish the sociodemographic profile of these women, identify the coping strategies used to deal with violence, and determine their needs and demands. In addition, their support network and their employment, economic, educational and housing situation are examined, as well as the effectiveness of resources aimed at combating gender- based violence. The research also seeks to obtain the perspective of CRI professionals on their experience in intervening with women victims of gender-based violence. Finally, it is considered necessary to investigate the perception of the participants about the functions of social workers in these contexts, in order to provide a holistic view of social intervention in situations of gender based violence.

Summary
The Final Degree Project consisted of a narrative bibliographic review in order to analyze Social Work in older adults in rural areas, remembering that Social Work applied to older people includes activities such as detection and prevention of social problems, promotion of participation active, evaluation of care, design of care programs, registration of population information, among others. This is affected by the limitations of rural areas such as isolation, low population, reduced economic and infrastructure resources, failures in transport and communication, among others, evidently not all rural areas present the same failures. The general objective was to analyze the scientific literature on the experience of older people in rural areas from the perspective of Social Work. For which a theoretical narrative bibliographic review is implemented as a methodological strategy, which was carried out under the following scheme: delimitation of the problem, search for information (databases used Dialnet, ÍnDICEs-CSIC, PubMed), determination of selection criteries, data selection, information organization and information analysis. The result was the selection of 17 articles, three of them, were carried out in Spain and China, and the rest, in other countries; most of the articles date from the year 2023. It is concluded that among the key elements for the vulnerability of older adults in rural areas are quality of life, level of health, economic resources, support system, autonomy, among others. While the social needs detected in rural areas were failures in access to socio-health care services, poor transportation, isolation, increased migration of the young population, a higher rate of informal caregivers than trained personnel.

In this Final Degree Project, a narrative bibliographic review of a theoretical nature was carried out on the role of the social worker in family mediation. For this review, a total of 22 documents were selected, following selection criteria based on the year of publication, the language and the area of knowledge of the articles. The search was carried out in three databases with free access. We underline the importance of family mediation in the field of Social Work, as it is applicable to all the contexts and groups served. With this work, we want to emphasize the value of mediation, particularly family mediation, in our professional field. Social workers can bring different perspectives and experiences that enrich the process, differentiating themselves from other professionals. Family mediation is an alternative to resolve family conflicts, where the main objective is that the people involved in the conflict, with the help and guidance of the mediator, develop and apply the necessary techniques and methods to reach an agreement that benefits both parties.

Summary
This Final Degree Project (TFG) is a narrative literature review report whose main objective is to affirm the importance of the ethical and deontological dimension in the social work profession, to analyze current dilemmas that affect it and to present possible solutions or help for them. Ethics may be considered by most professionals as something too theoretical and separated from reality. They may even consider it useless for all this. On the other hand, morality constitutes a fundamental axis for a profession such as social work, which has at its core the intervention with people in vulnerable situations. This special condition requires greater protection and maturity when working, skills such as empathy, prudence, justice... are necessary for a quality intervention. The advance of new technologies and the development of the bureaucratic system feed the generation of new ethical conflicts that require new responses. Faced with this new reality in continuous change, it is essential not only to establish protocols for action, but also to examine in depth the basic ethical foundations that allow adequate and quality responses to be given. For this purpose, the ethical theory of Emmanuel Lévinas is presented as a proposal for the recognition of human life above all else and the defense of its dignity in any of the procedures, actions and social policies. Born from the encounter between the user and the social worker, it results in the respect for autonomy and the desire for care that produce a quality social intervention.
