Aims Longitudinal data on the mental health impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic in healthcare workers is limited. We estimated prevalence, incidence and persistence of probable mental disorders in a cohort of Spanish healthcare workers (Covid-19 waves 1 and 2) -and identified associated risk factors. Methods 8996 healthcare workers evaluated on 5 May–7 September 2020 (baseline) were invited to a second web-based survey (October–December 2020). Major depressive disorder (PHQ-8 ≥ 10), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD-7 ≥ 10), panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PCL-5 ≥ 7), and alcohol use disorder (CAGE-AID ≥ 2) were assessed. Distal (pre-pandemic) and proximal (pandemic) risk factors were included. We estimated the incidence of probable mental disorders (among those without disorders at baseline) and persistence (among those with disorders at baseline). Logistic regression of individual-level [odds ratios (OR)] and population-level (population attributable risk proportions) associations were estimated, adjusting by all distal risk factors, health care centre and time of baseline interview. Results 4809 healthcare workers participated at four months follow-up (cooperation rate = 65.7%; mean = 120 days s.d. = 22 days from baseline assessment). Follow-up prevalence of any disorder was 41.5%, (v. 45.4% at baseline, p < 0.001); incidence, 19.7% (s.e. = 1.6) and persistence, 67.7% (s.e. = 2.3). Proximal factors showing significant bivariate-adjusted associations with incidence included: work-related factors [prioritising Covid-19 patients (OR = 1.62)], stress factors [personal health-related stress (OR = 1.61)], interpersonal stress (OR = 1.53) and financial factors [significant income loss (OR = 1.37)]. Risk factors associated with persistence were largely similar. Conclusions Our study indicates that the prevalence of probable mental disorders among Spanish healthcare workers during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic was similarly high to that after the first wave. This was in good part due to the persistence of mental disorders detected at the baseline, but with a relevant incidence of about 1 in 5 of HCWs without mental disorders during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Health-related factors, work-related factors and interpersonal stress are important risks of persistence of mental disorders and of incidence of mental disorders. Adequately addressing these factors might have prevented a considerable amount of mental health impact of the pandemic among this vulnerable population. Addressing health-related stress, work-related factors and interpersonal stress might reduce the prevalence of these disorders substantially. Study registration number: NCT04556565

Up to 22 June 2022, 508 confirmed cases of monkeypox (MPX) have been reported in the Madrid region of Spain, 99% are men (n = 503) with a median age of 35 years (range: 18–67). In this ongoing outbreak, 427 cases (84.1%) reported condomless sex or sex with multiple partners within the 21 days before onset of symptoms, who were predominantly men who have sex with men (MSM) (n = 397; 93%). Both the location of the rash, mainly in the anogenital and perineal area, as well as the presence of inguinal lymphadenopathy suggest that close physical contact during sexual activity played a key role in transmission. Several cases reported being at a sauna in the city of Madrid (n = 34) or a mass event held on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria (n = 27), activities which may represent a conducive environment for MPX virus spread, with many private parties also playing an important role. Because of the rapid implementation of MPX surveillance in Madrid, one of the largest outbreaks reported outside Africa was identified. To minimise transmission, we continue to actively work with LGBTIQ+ groups and associations, with the aim of raising awareness among people at risk and encouraging them to adopt preventive measures.

Healthcare workers (HCW) are at high risk for suicide, yet little is known about the onset of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) in this important segment of the population in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study of Spanish HCW active during the COVID-9 pandemic. A total of n = 4809 HCW participated at baseline (May-September 2020; i.e., just after the first wave of the pandemic) and at a four-month follow-up assessment (October-December 2020) using web-based surveys. Logistic regression assessed the individual- and population-level associations of separate proximal (pandemic) risk factors with four-month STB incidence (i.e., 30-day STB among HCW negative for 30-day STB at baseline), each time adjusting for distal (pre-pandemic) factors. STB incidence was estimated at 4.2% (SE = 0.5; n = 1 suicide attempt). Adjusted for distal factors, proximal risk factors most strongly associated with STB incidence were various sources of interpersonal stress (scaled 0-4; odds ratio [OR] range = 1.23-1.57) followed by personal health-related stress and stress related to the health of loved ones (scaled 0-4; OR range 1.30-1.32), and the perceived lack of healthcare center preparedness (scaled 0-4; OR = 1.34). Population-attributable risk proportions for these proximal risk factors were in the range 45.3-57.6%. Other significant risk factors were financial stressors (OR range 1.26-1.81), isolation/quarantine due to COVID-19 (OR = 1.53) and having changed to a specific COVID-19 related work location (OR = 1.72). Among other interventions, our findings call for healthcare systems to implement adequate conflict communication and resolution strategies and to improve family-work balance embedded in organizational justice strategies.

Background: Healthcare workers are a key occupational group at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB). We investigated the prevalence and correlates of STB among hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak (March-July 2020). Methods: Data come from the baseline assessment of a cohort of Spanish hospital workers (n = 5450), recruited from 10 hospitals just after the height of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak (May 5-July 23, 2020). Web-based self-report surveys assessed 30-day STB, individual characteristics, and potentially modifiable contextual factors related to hospital workers' work and financial situation. Results: Thirty-day STB prevalence was estimated at 8.4% (4.9% passive ideation only, 3.5% active ideation with or without a plan or attempt). A total of n = 6 professionals attempted suicide in the past 30 days. In adjusted models, 30-day STB remained significantly associated with pre-pandemic lifetime mood (odds ratio [OR] = 2.92) and anxiety disorder (OR = 1.90). Significant modifiable factors included a perceived lack of coordination, communication, personnel, or supervision at work (population-attributable risk proportion [PARP] = 50.5%), and financial stress (PARP = 44.1%). Conclusions and Relevance: Thirty-day STB among hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak was high. Hospital preparedness for virus outbreaks should be increased, and strong governmental policy response is needed to increase financial security among hospital workers.

IntroductionHealthcare workers are vulnerable to adverse mental health impacts of COVID-19. We assessed prevalence of mental disorders and associated factors during the first wave of the pandemic among healthcare professionals in Spain.MethodsAll workers in 18 healthcare institutions (6 AACC) in Spain were invited to a series of online surveys assessing a wide range of individual characteristics, COVID-19 infection status and exposure, and mental health status. Here we report: current mental disorders (Major Depressive Disorder-MDD- [PHQ-8≥10], Generalized Anxiety Disorder-GAD- [GAD-7≥10], Panic attacks, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder –PTSD- [PCL-5≥7]; and Substance Use Disorder –SUD-[CAGE-AID≥2]. Severe disability assessed by the Sheehan Disability Scale was used to identify “disabling” current mental disorders.Results9,138 healthcare workers participated. Prevalence of screen-positive disorder: 28.1% MDD; 22.5% GAD, 24.0% Panic; 22.2% PTSD; and 6.2% SUD. Overall 45.7% presented any current and 14.5% any disabling current mental disorder. Healthcare workers with prior lifetime mental disorders had almost twice the prevalence of current disorders than those without. Adjusting for all other variables, odds of any disabling mental disorder were: prior lifetime disorders (TUS: OR=5.74; 95%CI 2.53-13.03; Mood: OR=3.23; 95%CI:2.27-4.60; Anxiety: OR=3.03; 95%CI:2.53-3.62); age category 18-29 years (OR=1.36; 95%CI:1.02-1.82), caring “all of the time” for COVID-19 patients (OR=5.19; 95%CI: 3.61-7.46), female gender (OR=1.58; 95%CI: 1.27-1.96) and having being in quarantine or isolated (OR= 1.60; 95CI:1.31-1.95).ConclusionsCurrent mental disorders were very frequent among Spanish healthcare workers during the first wave of COVID-19. As the pandemic enters its second wave, careful monitoring and support is needed for healthcare workers, especially those with previous mental disorders and those caring COVID-19 very often.

Tuberculosis is a major public health problem and most cases are concentrated in vulnerable populations. The objective was to describe the incidence rates trend in native and foreign population (2009-2018) in Madrid Region.Retrospective analysis of cases from the Tuberculosis Regional Registry of cases of Madrid Region 2009-2018. Annual incidence rates were calculated by country of birth (Spain, other), sex and age group (15, 15-34, 35-44, 45-64,64), using the annual January 1st continuous register population. The infection rate trend and the annual percentage change (APC) were calculated, along with the best jointpoint adjustment using Jointpoint regression.7,696 cases were analyzed, 48.2% were foreign-born individuals. Average age in native population was 50 years old (SD: 23.96) and 35 (DS: 36.64) in foreign-born individuals (p0.001). The overall incidence rate decreased from 17.30 in 2009 to 9.00 per 100,000 in 2018 and was higher in men. Pulmonary tuberculosis reduced from 11.90 to 6.55. Among native population, the incidence of TB fell from 10.29 to 5.24 with an APC of -7.3% (95%IC: -8.9; -5.7) (p0.05), no jointpoint was identified. Among foreign-born individuals the incidence of tuberculosis declined from 46.54 to 25.49, a joint point was identified in 2013, observing an incidence decrease for the period 2009-2013 and APC of -13.8% (IC95%: -17.5; -10.0).The global incidence rate in this period has decreased by approximately 7% per year. However, this reduction occurred mainly in native population. In foreign-born individuals the incidence decreased by approximately 14% during the 2009-2013 period, after this period there have been no significant incidence changes.La tuberculosis (TB) continúa siendo un problema importante de salud pública, debido a que la mayoría de los casos se concentran en población vulnerable. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la tendencia de las tasas de incidencia en población autóctona y extranjera (2009-2018) en la Comunidad de Madrid (CM).Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de casos del Registro Regional de casos de Tuberculosis de la CM en el período 2009-2018. Se calcularon tasas de incidencia anual por cada 100.000 habitantes, por país de nacimiento (España, fuera de España), sexo y grupo de edad (15, 15-34, 35-44, 45-64,64), utilizando las poblaciones de padrón continuo a 1 de enero de cada año. Se calculó la tendencia de las tasas de incidencia y el porcentaje anual de cambio (APC), así como el mejor ajuste del punto de inflexión utilizando la regresión de Jointpoint.Se analizaron 7.696 casos, siendo el 48,2% en personas nacidas fuera de España. La edad media en población autóctona fue de 50 años (DS: 23,96) y 35 (DS: 36,64) en inmigrante (p0,001). La tasa de incidencia global pasó de 17,30 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2009 a 9 en 2018, siendo superior en hombres. La incidencia de tuberculosis pulmonar pasó de 11,90 a 6,55. En población autóctona, la incidencia de TB pasó de 10,29 a 5,24, con un APC de -7,3% (IC95%: -8,9; -5,7; p0,05), y no se identificó ningún punto de inflexión. En población extranjera la incidencia de tuberculosis pasó de 46,54 a 25,49, identificándose un punto de inflexión en 2013, con una disminución más acusada de la incidencia para el periodo 2009-2013 debido a un APC de -13,8% (IC95%: -17,5; -10,0).La tasa de incidencia global en este periodo disminuye cerca de un 7% anual; sin embargo, esta disminución de la incidencia se produce fundamentalmente en población autóctona. En población extranjera la incidencia desciende cerca de un 14% durante el periodo 2009-2013. Tras este periodo no hay cambios significativos en la incidencia.

Fundamentos: La pandemia de gripe A (H1N1) supuso la puesta en marcha en la Comunidad de Madrid (CM) de nuevas estrategias de vigilancia epidemiologica que diesen respuesta a las necesidades de inmediatez y exhaustividad. Los objetivos de este estudio son describir las caracteristicas de los casos recogidos por este sistema asi como mostrar las posibilidades de desagregacion geografica de estos datos. Metodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal entre el 1 de mayo de 2009 y el 22 de mayo de 2010. Se recabaron diariamente todos los episodios registrados y declarados como gripe en las historias clinicas electronicas de Atencion Primaria del Sistema Sanitario Publico de la CM. Se analizaron los datos por fecha, edad, sexo y zonificacion sanitaria, desagregando hasta profesional sanitario. Resultados: Se registraron 165.492 episodios de gripe (53,8% en mujeres). El mayor numero de casos fue en el grupo de 25 a 49 anos (70.691) y el grupo de 5 a 14 anos alcanzo la mayor tasa de incidencia semanal (1.618,65 por 100.000 en la semana 43). La tasa total semanal maxima fue 458,47 por 100.000 (semana 44). Los pediatras tuvieron el maximo de casos atendidos y de tasas acumuladas (12 de ellos atendieron a mas del 20% de su cupo). Conclusiones: La vigilancia de la gripe pandemica (H1N1) 2009 mediante la captura automatica diaria de datos de las historias clinicas electronicas de Atencion Primaria fue una fuente de informacion de especial utilidad en el seguimiento de la evolucion de la pandemia y la toma de decisiones estrategicas.

ObjetivoConocer las representaciones sociales que sobre la oficina de farmacia tiene la población más frecuentadora.DiseñoEstudio cualitativo. Análisis del discurso producido por 2 grupos de discusión.ParticipantesMujeres de 30-60 años, residentes urbanas de la Comunidad de Madrid.Mediciones y resultados principalesLas oficinas de farmacia son identificadas por el usuario como un recurso de atención primaria accesible –tanto por su cercanía como por sus horarios– y de confianza. En ellas se realiza una actividad asistencial de apoyo para el tratamiento de dolencias menores («automedicación asistida»), y por otro lado se aconseja sobre tecnicismos médicos y sobre el uso de la medicación. Desde la farmacia se deriva al médico a los usuarios con cuadros potencialmente graves. Las imágenes asociadas a «ir al médico» carecen de la cercanía y familiaridad que se asocia a «bajar a la farmacia».ConclusionesLa integración de los farmacéuticos de la oficina de farmacia dentro de un marco global de atención primaria supondría una mejora para la salud de la población.ObjectiveTo find what the pharmacy office represents socially to the population that uses it most.DesignQualitative study. Analysis of the contents of two discussion groups.Participants.Women from 30 to 60 years old, urban residents of the Community of Madrid.Measurements and main resultsThe pharmacy offices were identified by the user as a primary care resource which was accessible –both because of its closeness and opening hours– and trustworthy. They provided health care support for treating minor ailments («assisted self-medication») and also advised on medical technicalities and use of medication. Users with potentially serious clinical pictures were referred from the pharmacy to the doctor. The images associated with «going to the doctor» lacked the nearness and familiarity of «dropping round to the pharmacy».ConclusionsIntegrating pharmacy office pharmacists into a general primary care framework would improve the health of the general population.

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 led to implementation in the Madrid Region of new strategies of epidemiology surveillance in order to give response to the need of immediacy and exhaustiveness.Descriptive cross-sectional study between May 1th 2009 and May 22th 2010. All disease episodes registered and reported as influenza disease were collected every day from electronic clinical records in primary care of Madrid Regional Public Health System. Data were analyzed by date, age, sex and health zoning, disaggregating into health professionals.165.492 influenza episodes were registered (53,8% in women). The main number of cases was in the 25-49 years group (70.691), and the 5-14 years group reached the maximum weekly incidence rate (1.618,65/100.000 in the week 43). The highest weekly total incidence rate was 458,47/100.000 (week 44). Pediatricians reached the maximum of cases visited and of cumulated rates (12 pediatricians visited more than 20% of their total assigned population).Surveillance of pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 by automatic daily data collection from electronic clinical records in primary care has meant a specially useful information source for monitoring the development of pandemic influenza and for the strategic decision making.

In spring of 1998, an acute gastroenteritis outbreak, which mainly affected preschool children, took place in Guadarrama (Community of Madrid, Spain).A descriptive and analytical (cases and controls) study of the outbreak was done. Stool samples of the cases were taken to microbiological investigation. The tap water getting system of the municipality was inspected and samples were collected to microbiological analysis.Twenty one children from 0 to 5 years-old had liquid diarrhea which lasted more than five days. A significant statistical association was found within tap water consumption and gastroenteritis [OR = 5.73 (1.18-43.30); p0.05]. It did not have association with other variables investigated. Cryptosporidium parvum (Cp) oocysts were detected in stool samples of eight cases. Deficiencies were observed in the tap water getting and treatment system of the municipality but no oocysts were found in the analysis of the water.The results of the epidemiological investigation support that the source of the gastroenteritis outbreak was tap water, likely contaminated with Cp. While this parasite was not detected in the analysis of the water, it is explainable for the difficulties which this technique involves. In our review similar descriptions of outbreaks have not been found in Spain, but it seems that this reports are not infrequent in neighbour countries. Therefore, Cp should be borne in mind in diagnostic and management of these situations.

Main aim: to study the application of mixed prophylaxis against Hepatitis B viral infection (HB) in children injured by discarded needles and/or syringes. Secondary aim: to find in the group under study the incidence of HIV infection caused by these accidents.Descriptive study.12 de octubre University Hospital, Madrid.Children injured by discarded needles and/or syringes and referred to the Preventive Medicine Service between May 1988 and April 1995 (7 years).1) Serological study for HB and HIV; 2) application to unprotected children of HB mixed prophylaxis (specific Immunoglobulin--IGHB--plus vaccination) and 3) Post-vaccination serological check-ups for HB and HIV at 6 and 12 months from the incident.249 children, whose average age was 5.8 +/- 3.37, were seen (158 boys, 63.5% and 91 girls, 36.5%). 189 (75.9% of the total) received a dose of IGHB and 171 (71.8%) completed the HB vaccinations. Post-vaccination serological check-ups covered 144 children (84.2%). 101 children (40.6%) completed the HIV check-ups. No HIV infection was detected.1) HB mixed prophylaxis in children without serological protection is adequate for dealing with these incidents. 2) The risk of HIV infection should not be discounted, but is probably very slight. 3) The procedure should be put into practice in PC, with some shortening of HIV follow-up periods, as a measure to improve compliance.

La siguiente investigación es una exploración desde la base documental, que permite describir que permite describir aspectos del rol del docente en la experiencia de aprendizaje/ enseñanza de las matemáticas pueden ser positivas o negativas y marcar la vida escolar del estudiante. La condición humana es tanto racional como emotiva, por lo cual surge la necesidad de tener en cuenta lo afectivo en función de su desarrollo integral. Así emociones, actitudes y creencias ayudan o dañan la experiencia con las matemáticas, por tal razón en esta investigación se propone una metodología de investigación documental, siguiendo las propuestas de Bermejo (2005), Ávila (2006), Rizo (2015) y Hoyos(2000) , donde se recopilaron documentos de forma selectiva, artículos de revistas especializadas/científicas, periódicos, fuentes bibliográficas entre otros, asociados al tema para describirlos, interpretarlos y luego hacer el informe de manera crítico-analítica. A través de esta revisión se invita a reflexionar a padres, docentes y a personas interesadas en A través de esta revisión se invita a reflexionar a padres, docentes y a personas interesadas en pueden tener los estudiantes sobre las matemáticas con el fin potencializar las experiencias relacionadas al ámbito de la educación, en dialogo abierto y horizontal frente al campo afectivo que influye de forma directa o indirecta en el aprendizaje. Por ende, se constituyen en una investigación relevante que contiene información pertinente para el rol, actividad y vocación del ejercicio docente orientado a fortalecer la experiencia educativa de las matemáticas en las aulas The following monographic research is an exploration from the documentary base, which allows to describe aspects of the teacher's role in the experience of learning/teaching school mathematics taking into account the affective domain, since these experiences can be positive or negative and mark the student's school life aspects of the teacher's role in the learning / teaching experience of school mathematics are described from the constructed documentary base, taking into account the affective domain, since these experiences can be positive or negative and marked the student's school life. The human condition is both rational and emotional, the need arises to take into account the affective in terms of its integral development. Thus, emotions, attitudes and beliefs help or damage the experience with mathematics, to carry out the research, the documentary research methodology was used, following the proposals of Bermejo (2005); Ávila (2006), Rizo (2015) and Hoyos (2000), documents were collected selectively, articles from specialized / scientific journals, newspapers, bibliographic sources among others, associated with the subject to describe, interpret and then make the report in a critical-analytical manner. Through this review, parents, teachers, and people interested in school mathematics education are invited to reflect on their influence on the beliefs of children/students in order to enhance the experiences related to the field of mathematics education, in an open and horizontal dialogue with the affective field that influences directly or indirectly the learning process. Therefore, they constitute a relevant research that contains pertinent information for the role, activity and vocation of the teaching exercise oriented to strengthen the educational experience of mathematics in the classrooms.
