RESUMEN
Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o conteúdo midiático produzido acerca da vacinação contra a covid-19 direcionada à pessoa idosa no Brasil. Método Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental a partir da análise de 19 matérias veiculadas pelos jornais Estadão, Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo e GAÚCHAZH, publicadas entre dezembro de 2020 e setembro de 2021. Os dados foram submetidos ao Resultados O corpus originou cinco classes temáticas. Nestas, verifica-se a difusão das informações sobre a vacinação contra a covid-19 para idosos como uma medida necessária à saúde dessa população, o que justifica a intensa veiculação de notícias acerca da campanha vacinal. As matérias evidenciaram a organização das políticas de imunização, bem como os benefícios da mesma para o referido público, sobretudo àqueles que se encontravam institucionalizados. Além disso, a vacina emergiu como protagonista na luta para conter a disseminação do coronavírus, aumentando a proteção dos residentes das instituições de longa permanência para idosos e, inegavelmente, diminuindo a mortalidade dos mais velhos. Conclusão Os achados salientam a indispensabilidade de fomentar políticas para promoção da saúde pelos meios de comunicação mais diversos, permitindo o acesso a informações em saúde por todos os públicos e reforçando a urgência de práticas coletivas de cuidado ofertadas às pessoas idosas, incluindo àquelas residentes em instituições.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the media content produced about vaccination against covid-19 aimed at the older population in Brazil. Method A desk research study based on the analysis of 19 articles published by the newspapers Estadão, Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo and GAÚCHAZH between December 2020 and September 2021. The data were processed by the Iramuteq software, analyzed using Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and interpreted by Content Analysis. Results The corpus yielded five thematic classes. These classes revealed the dissemination of information about vaccination against covid-19 for older people as a necessary measure for the health of this population, justifying the intense reporting of news on the vaccination campaign. The articles highlighted the organization of immunization policies, as well as their benefits for the older population, especially institutionalized individuals. In addition, the vaccine emerged as a key element in the fight to contain the spread of the coronavirus, increasing the protection of older residents of long-term care facilities and, undeniably, reducing the mortality of this population. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of disseminating health promotion policies across a wide variety of communication channels, allowing access to health information by all audiences and reinforcing the urgency of collective care practices offered to older people, including those residing in institutions.
RESUMEN
The data presented in this article provide the opportunity to comparatively analyse anti-immigrant and anti-refugee attitudes, news and social media consumption, and political attitudes (e.g., social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism) of the adult population in seven European countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden), the United States, and Colombia in 2021 (N = 13,645). These countries were selected for their variety in national characteristics: coastal and non-coastal border countries, large and small economies, countries with major and minor political influence, and countries with varying degrees of popularity as asylum-seeker destinations. We conducted an online survey which - amongst others - included questions on socio-demographic characteristics, attitudinal indicators, and information on news and social media consumption. These data can be of interest for migration researchers and/or media scholars who want to explore (comparative) dynamics of outgroup attitudes, threat perceptions, and/or news and social media consumption, and for policy makers who seek to influence public attitudes towards immigration and migrants.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN Los primeros estudios que indagaron sobre el uso de internet dieron cuenta de la existencia de una brecha digital entre quienes tenían y quienes no tenían acceso físico a internet, con la idea de que la mera accesibilidad aseguraba la inclusión. El interés viró, entonces, a cómo las personas utilizan internet después de obtener acceso. Se realizó un estudio empírico a fin de analizar el uso de internet en Argentina y las diferencias según el género y la edad como variables asociadas a la brecha digital. El estudio es descriptivo-correlacional, transversal, sobre una muestra representativa de adultos (n = 1145). Los resultados muestran la masividad de conexión a internet y las diferencias de uso entre hombres y mujeres, y entre generaciones. Se ratifica la hipótesis de la brecha digital acerca de la mayor conexión y uso entre los más jóvenes.
ABSTRACT The first studies that investigated the use of the Internet revealed the existence of a digital divide between those who had and those who did not have physical access to the Internet. It was held the assumption that mere accessibility ensured inclusion. The interest then turned to how people use the Internet after gaining access. An empirical study was carried on to analyze the use of the Internet in Argentina and the differences in terms of sex and age as variables associated with the digital divide. The study is descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional, based on a representative sample of adults (n = 1145). The results show the mass internet connection and the differences in use between men and women, and generations. It ratifies the hypothesis of the digital divide showing a greater connection and use among the younger.
