Do adults listen? A qualitative analysis of the narratives of LGBTQI adolescents in Madrid
(Elsevier, 2024-06) Blanco-Fuente, Irene; Ancín, Ruth A.; Albertín-Carbó, Pilar; Pastor, Yolanda
This article explores the experiences of LGBTQI adolescents related to the listening they receive, based on a qualitative focus group study conducted between 2022 and 2023 in Madrid, Spain. After the transcription of the conversations, a thematic analysis was carried out following the systematic procedure designed by Nowell et al. (2017), in order to extract the meanings that the adolescents gave to their experiences. The main thematic axes around which the group discussions revolved were the existence of homophobic ideologies and adultists societies, the experience of not feeling listened to, the safe spaces in which they do feel listened to, the reaffirmation of their identity and satisfaction with their own bodies. Attention was also paid to the processes of subjectivation and agency in relation to listening. The conclusions highlight the importance of role models, the requirement that listening be supported by an intention to learn and recognize others, as well as the urgent need to create safe listening spaces for LGBTQI adolescents
“Nursing (Her) Storytelling” An Ethnographic Fiction Proposal for Exploring Feminist Health Activism in Spain
(2023) Alameda-Cuesta, Almudena; Blanco-Fuente, Irene; Bonilla-Campos, Amparo; Casado-Aparicio, Elena; Domínguez-Castillo, M. Pilar; García-Dauder, Dau; Lara-Rodríguez, Ángel Luis; López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel; Velázquez-Berrio, Nerea; Romero-Bachiller, Carmen
The aim of this article is to share theoretical and methodological reflections on a project on feminist epistemologies and health activism. Based on the analysis of twelve life stories and one group interview, an approach based on ethnographic fiction is proposed through the creation of a serial story in podcast format. This approach helps in generating emotions to facilitate understanding and awareness of the issues raised and in showing everyday practices as ways of constructing knowledge. It also avoids turning life stories into academic artefacts with little transformational capacity.

(Wiley, 2024-10-30) Platero, Lucas; Gallardo-Nieto, Elena; Blanco-Fuente, Irene; López-Sáez, Miguel Ángel
This qualitative study explores the experiences of LGBTI+ youth in Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on family, social, educational and healthcare support mechanisms. The findings, based on five focus groups, highlight the pivotal role of family support during the pandemic, increased isolation and a reliance on online connections, the challenge of transitioning to online school platforms and insufficient understanding amongst healthcare professionals. The study examines adult and institutional support structures in relation to the complexities of LGBTI+ youth experiences beyond heteronormative and cisgender paradigms. It advocates applying a child-centric approach to policies and services tailored to LGBTI+ youth needs
