    A crisis of authenticity: Becoming entrepreneurial and the quest for "cultural appropriateness" among the Mapuche
    (2024) Galvez, Marcelo Gonzalez; Gallegos, Fernanda; Turen, Valentina; Quezada, Constanza
    Based on multisite ethnographic work between 2018 and 2020, this article examines entrepreneurship promotion policies developed by the Chilean state directed at Mapuche people. We direct attention to how the notion of authenticity works as a hinge between Mapuche people, historical heritage, nongovernmental organizations, and public policymakers in their promotion of microentrepreneurship as a form of overcoming poverty and achieving full inclusion of Indigenous people in Chilean society. The negotiation processes concerning authenticity bring together people's aspiration to become entrepreneurs as authentic Mapuche and those seeking to initiate a "proper Mapuche business." Authenticity, its recognition and contestation, appears as a central tenet in the formation of a particular entrepreneurial self that combines entrepreneurs' aspirations for a better life with a simultaneous seeking of an appropriate sense of being Mapuche, with acknowledgment from others. In the process, the meaning of authenticity goes beyond a primordialist understanding of the term, acquiring polysemy and affecting the arena of Indigenous entrepreneurship, as other aspects of contemporary Mapuche lives.

    Children’s right to play in Chilean hospitals: A forgotten right?—A qualitative study protocol
    (2025) Glos Aleksandra, Malgorzata; Santana López, Alejandra; Vargas Celis, Ivonne; Sanhueza Díaz, Lilian; Quezada, Constanza
    Background Despite being a recognised human right (art. 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child), children’s right to play is still insufficiently researched, understood and, above all, implemented. In Chile, the National Child Health Programme recognises the importance of this right for the hospitalised children but makes its provision dependent on the hospital’s capacity. We therefore hypothesise that the provision of children’s right to play in Chilean hospital settings will be irregular, varying from institution to institution, possibly reflecting the existing socio-economic inequalities in the country, thereby leaving much room for improvement. Aims This study aims to collect qualitative data on the institutional arrangements and opportunities for children’s play in public hospitals in Chile. Specifically, our goal is to (a) interpret the conditions and opportunities for play that Chilean public hospitals provide to children and adolescents; (b) interpret institutional arrangements and professional experiences of children’s play in those institutions; (c) identify factors that favour and/or limit opportunities for children’s play in the Chilean hospital setting. Methods This is exploratory qualitative research, combining multiple and instrumental case study with ethnographic research. Its data collection techniques are semi-structured interviews with professionals in hospital settings (supported by a self-assessment questionnaire), and non-participant observations of hospital playrooms (and/or other play spaces). Conclusion This will be the first study to investigate children’s right to play in Chilean hospitals, with a particular focus on the extent of its implementation, its understanding among health professionals, as well as existing limitations and opportunities for its development.

    Factors influencing the implementation of shared decision-making in breast cancer care: protocol for a mixed-methods study
    (2023) Bravo Valenzuela, Paulina Fabiola; Dois C., Angelina M.; Villarroel Del Pino, Luis Antonio; González Aguero, Marcela Margot; Fernandez González, Loreto; Sánchez Rojel, César Giovanni; Martínez, Alejandra; Turen Croquevielle, Valentina; Quezada, Constanza; Guasalaga María, Elisabeth; Härter, Martin
    Chile is committed to actively involving patients in their healthcare. However, little is known about how this is translated into clinical encounters. Breast cancer (BC) is the first cause of cancer-related death in Chilean women. National policy guarantees standard care, and treatment decisions should be made along this process that can have long-term consequences for women. So, BC is a particularly well-suited case study to understand the complexity of patient participation in decision-making.
