Objectives: Assess the efficacy of a guided intervention based on stress reduction and compassion, related to resilience and compassion fatigue of healthcare professionals. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with a control and intervention groups, combining a multimodal intervention delivered in 3 sessions. Control group (n = 23), experimental group (n = 23). Data collection: 4 observations were made using the Brief Resilience Scale, Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, Compassion Fatigue Inventory and data on the professional profile and personal life. In order to analyze the relationship between variables, a general linear model, the chi-square or Fisher test, and regression analysis were used. Results: No significant effect of the evaluated intervention was found on the score obtained in mindfulness, resilience or empathy. The control group obtained a higher score in mindfulness when related to the non-covid work unit and the absence of personal stressors F(1.21)=16.081 p=<0.01, ŋ2=0.434. The normal empathic profile without risk was significantly higher in non-covid units compared to covid units in the first evaluation (70% vs 30%, p=0.002). The profile of low resilience in auxiliary nurses was higher during the last evaluation (72.2% vs 27.8%, p=0.003), a moment in which a greater number of patients were hospitalized with covid. Conclusions: A higher influences on professionals psychological wellbeing was present with personal and job related factors (professional category, work place and healthcare pressure) than the intervention carried out.

Objective: to describe the relationship between negative psycho-emotional aspects in the development and control of arterial hypertension and the contributions of physical exercise to both variables. Method: integrative literature review study intended to answer the question: "What is the relationship between negative psycho-emotional factors in the development and progression of arterial hypertension and the contributions of physical exercise to both?". The survey was carried out through MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus databases, and the PubMed portal, which sought to identify studies published in the years from 2016 to 2022. Results: 509 titles were identified, of which ten were selected to compose the sample. Factors such as depression, psychological stress, anxiety, sadness, anger, tension, and excessive worries showed a positive correlation with an increased risk of developing uncontrolled hypertension. The regular practice of physical exercise continues to be an essential ally in the prevention and reduction of negative psycho-emotional symptoms, such as in the treatment of hypertension. Conclusion: there was a positive relationship between negative psychoemotional aspects and an increase in the risk of developing hypertension and compromising disease control, with physical exercise being a beneficial factor for both variables.

Objective: To evaluate the association between the use of psychotropic drugs and socioeconomic and health variables among Nursing professionals in an emergency department. Method: a cross-sectional study with Nursing professionals from an emergency room, carried out from January to February 2021, using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, a List of Signs and Symptoms of Stress, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results: of the 34 participants, 61.8% were under 40, 70.6% practiced physical activity at least twice a week, 70.6% had sleep disorders and 29.4% had high to very high stress. The use of psychotropic drugs was reported by 38.2% of them, mainly antidepressants and anxiolytics, associated with stress and income. Conclusion: Socioeconomic and psychological problems can favor the use of psychotropic drugs by nurses. Better working conditions and pay are necessary for health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: headache and stress can become quite common in the university students' life. Therefore, it is necessary to study in depth the causes and consequences of this problem. Objective: to characterize the headache in Cuban medical students in relation to factors associated with academic stress. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 205 Cuban medical students during April and May 2022. The variables age, sex, academic year, presence of associated disease, frequency per week, average hours of sleep per day, frequency variation (during oral exams, written exams, medical shifts, high extracurricular demands, days off), average pain intensity, most frequent onset time, duration, most commonly used drugs, and use of pain-relieving drugs were studied. Results: the headache incidence was 91.2%, predominantly in the female sex (95.6%). Students reported a higher frequency (61%) in evening hours, as well as in situations of written exams (64.4%). On days off, the frequency decreased (67.3%). The academic year did not show a significant influence on the headache duration or intensity. The use of drugs was not always considered effective in treating pain. Dipyrone was referred to as the most used drug (47.8%). Conclusions: the factors associated with academic stress were related to the presence of headaches in Cuban medical students, and are the possible cause of its high incidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To design and build-up an instrument to measure work stress based on the Karasek's job-demand-control- support (JDCS) as well as to estimate its psychometric properties. Methods: several steps were implemented; a) systematic review of the literature, b) to determine the factorial structure of the scale, c) to apply natural semantic networks to identify the psychological meaning of factors in the scale, d) contrast the literature results with the semantic networks, e) to elaborate a reagent bank, f) to validate the scale with 60 expert judges, g) integration of the scale, h) application of the scale to 619 workers. Results: the scale had adequate validity construct and reliability values (Alpha-Cronbach of 0.711 and 0.890, respectively). Work stress positively correlated with job demand and negatively with job control. A higher work stress index was found among workers who presented psychosomatic disorders. Conclusions: the scale is valid and reliable to evaluate work stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Social distancing and lockdown imposed by the world governments as a result of the coronavirus pandemic declaration has resulted in a perfect scenario to the appearance of mental disorders. Objective: To identify the levels of anxiety, depression and stress (emotional affective state) that people assigned to a primary health care clinic present during the lockdown. Material and methods: The DASS-21 questionnaire was administered to 150 pacients at the principal entry door of a family medicine unit of the Mexican Institute for Social Security, located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, between April and May 2020. In addition, the internal validity test of the questionnaire was estimated using Cronbach's alpha, and also an association analysis was estimated using Pearson's chi squared test. Results: The internal validity analysis indicated that the questionnaire is acceptable in its general version: Cronbach's alpha = 0.907. However, at the subscales level it is barely acceptable. The results indicated that 42% of the sample present some type of mental disorder, with anxiety being the most persistent. In addition, the estimated levels vary according to sex, educational level and nutritional status. Conclusions: During periods of lockdown, mental problems tend to arise and get worse, which is why it is necessary to implement emotional support programs, especially for working women with obesity weight problems, because they are the most vulnerable group in the face of this situation.

Introduction: The assessment of pleasure and suffering indicators in primary healthcare workers gains relevance due to the complexity of multi-professional working and the close link between community and team. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the pleasure and suffering indicators in primary healthcare workers from a municipality in Southern Brazil. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 218 workers in 34 primary healthcare units. Data was collected from March to August 2015 using the Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale (PSIWS) and analyzed through descriptive statistics and association tests. Results: The factors indicating suffering, professional burnout and lack of recognition were evaluated as critical, unlike those of pleasure, where only professional fulfillment was classified as critical and freedom of expression as satisfactory. Among these indicating factors, the following showed better averages: pride in what I do, cooperation with colleagues, stress and indignation at work. Discussion: Workers are satisfied and proud of the work they do and feel free to share their thoughts and ideas with the team, although exhausted and little recognized for their actions. Conclusions: It can be concluded that professional burnout, stress, indignation and lack of recognition are indicators of suffering at work while freedom of expression, pride in what you do and cooperation with colleagues are sources of pleasure.

Introduction: Introduction: there is growing evidence linking food consumption with psychological health of adult people. This association has not been well explored among university students. Objectives: the aims of this study were to analyze the diet quality in a university population, and to assess its association with prevalence of anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia. Methods: cross-sectional study of a sample of 1055 university students. Three validated questionnaires were used: the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 21), and the Insomnia Severity Index. Results: The average HEI score was 68,57±12,17. Prevalence of unhealthy eating was 82,3%, higher in women (84,8% vs. 76,4%). Unhealthy eating was significantly associated with prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress. Excessive intake of sweets and low of dairy products were associated with higher prevalence of psychological and sleep disturbances. Conclusions: unhealthy eating patterns are common in university population and are related to anxiety, stress, and depression. Educational interventions to reduce unhealthy food consumption in university students can also result in psychological health improvements and/or vice versa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to evaluate the perceived stress of relatives of patients in the waiting room of a Surgical Center and to relate it to sociodemographic variables. Methodology: a cross-sectional study with 104 relatives of patients submitted to surgery who were in the waiting room of a Surgical Center. The Sociodemographic Characterization Form and Perceived Stress Scale were used. Results: The highest averages of the Perceived Stress Scale belong to women over 40 years of age, without partners, with children, who receive less than three minimum wages and who attended high school, with a statistically significant difference observed for sex exclusively. In general, the family members were in a low level of stress. Conclusion: The waiting room in Surgical Center can contribute with the emergence of feelings like anxiety, nervousness and consequently stress. It is important to include the family member in nursing care, which includes providing information, dialogue and respect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The daily life of bus drivers is dynamic and influenced by many variables: their driving skills, their ability to overcome their fears, and their ability to follow an established itinerary. Bus drivers experience limitations and challenges that can trigger a process of psychological distress. Objective: To describe the perceptions of bus drivers about their experience in traffic and the possible effects of daily urban mobility on these drivers. Methodology: Descriptive, phenomenological study based on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It was conducted at a bus station between July and December 2017. Twenty-four bus drivers were interviewed using open-ended questions. Results: Two categories emerged: Traffic is a box full of surprises and Psychological balance is necessary. Conclusion: Giving a voice to these professionals, bringing to light what causes their suffering, and recognizing their needs will contribute to the prevention of physical and psychological disorders, as well as traffic accidents. Bus drivers need better conditions to set the city in motion on a daily basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the effect of educational strategies on sleep quality and its relation to diabetes-related distress and glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Materials and methods: Randomized clinical trial involving two groups. Group 1 (G1, n = 45) received verbal guidance and leaflets on sleep hygiene strategies and group 2 (G2, n = 46) received usual health care guidelines on self-care with the feet. Sleep was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory and diabetes-related distress by the Diabetes Distress Scale. Linear mixed-effects models and linear regression model were used for the statistical analysis. Results: At the end of the follow-up, sleep quality improvement (p = 0.02) was verified in G1. Low diabetes-related distress score (p = 0.03), being male (p = 0.02), belonging to G1 (p = 0.002), and age (p = 0.04) contributed to better sleep quality. Conclusion: Educational guidelines on sleep hygiene in patients with DM2 were effective in improving sleep quality, measured by the PSQI instrument and emotional stress related to diabetes as assessed by the Diabetes Distress Scale.

Objective: Traumatic experiences during childhood are considered a risk factor for mental disorders in adulthood. There are difficulties to reliably and validly measure these experiences in the adult population. The purpose of this study was to develop the Colombian version of the Early Trauma Inventory Self-Report (ETI-SRCol) and to examine its psychometric properties. Methodology: 452 people (53.8% women) between 18 and 60 years of age from different social strata participated. The internal consistency of the instrument was analyzed, and the construct validity was estimated through factorial methods. Results: the final version of the Colombian adaptation of the ETI-SRCol is an 81-item, self-applied instrument, which measures the frequency, age of onset, emotional impact, and the severity of childhood traumatic events in five factors: sociopolitical violence, sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, general traumatic events, and poverty. This version showed an adequate internal consistency (α = 0.795) as well as the severity index of the trauma (α = 0.832). Conclusions: The ETI-SRCol is reliable to measure traumatic experiences in childhood, and may be applied at both the clinical and investigative level within the Colombian population.
