Objectives:
to characterize the homeless families who use a Public Shower Room; identify significant life events/phenomena for the family’s transition to homelessness; understand the relationship between significant life events; identify future expectations of respondents.
Methods:
an exploratory, descriptive study using the interview and thematic content analysis. Sample consisted of public shower room users.
Results:
mental illness, social, personal and family factors justify the transition of subjects to homelessness. The total absence of hopelessness alternates with expectations for the future based on resilience and hope.
Final Considerations:
we highlight in the study the self-determination expressed in small expressions of the narrative, on the one hand, as well as aspects related to the evolution of family relationships, on the other.

Objective:
to explore the deaf people’s perceptions about their well-being, published on a weblog.
Method:
A free access spanish blog that’s been created and used by deaf people is selected. Under qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, through the non-participating and asynchronous observation, sign language speeches are analyzed in 44 video messages uploaded by deaf bloggers.
Results:
in the speeches analyzed, inclusion’s areas cited the most are self-determination, social inclusion and emotional well-being, these latter two in a negative way: social exclusion and emotional distress.
Final considerations:
The study participants state that the arrangements adopted for their inclusion are not enough, with feelings of discomfort prevailing in all areas and life stages. Solidarity initiatives, elimination of communication barriers and true transforming agents of our society are needed.
