ABSTRACT Today, talking about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the same as talking about cases that occur in one in 160 births worldwide. Some of them will be able to live independently when they grow up while others will have less autonomy and will be more dependent, requiring the support of caregivers throughout their lives. Objective: Understanding the emotional burden that this could generate on parents, we sought to analyze the level of stress and coping techniques in caregivers of children with ASD in Chile, 2021. Methods: Interview with a sample composed of 61 parents or guardians of people with ASD. Results: After data analysis, it was possible to perform a statistically significant correlation (p=0.002) between the level of stress and the coping strategies (problem-solving, self-criticism, emotional expression, wishful thinking, social support, cognitive restructuring, problem avoidance, and social withdrawal). In addition, positive strategies that reduce stress levels in parents or caregivers of children with ASD were identified (problem resolution, cognitive restructuring, social support, and emotional expression). Conclusion: Through this research, it was possible to respond to each of the stated objectives, managing to determine what were the characteristics of caregivers and their main difficulties. It was also observed that the majority lost the possibility of working to dedicate themselves to the care of the diagnosed person.

El distanciamiento social en conjunto con otras medidas para evitar o disminuir la transmisión de la COVID-19, han tenido consecuencias en la salud mental de los estudiantes. Objetivo: Evaluar la salud mental de estudiantes de medicina en Nariño (Colombia), durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Se aplicó una encuesta virtual autodiligenciada a estudiantes mayores de 18 años, de cuarto semestre y de semilleros de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia Campus Pasto, quienes participaron voluntariamente del estudio; se excluyó a quienes tuvieron problemas de conexión a Internet. Resultados: 54 estudiantes respondieron la encuesta, en su mayoría de 19 años (33,3%), solteros (96,3%), de estratos 2 al 4 (87,0%), de cuarto semestre (96,0%) y de sexo femenino (59,0%). Hubo mayor prevalencia de ansiedad (31,3%) que de estrés (16,7%) y depresión (16,7%). Para la ansiedad el mayor nivel fue moderado (52,9%), al igual que para la depresión (55,6%), mientras que para la ansiedad fue muy severo (20,0%). El 100% presentó desesperanza en diferentes niveles y 33,3% mostraron ideación suicida. Conclusión: Es necesario implementar medidas que ayuden a mejorar y prevenir afectaciones de la salud mental de los estudiantes, así como realizar estudios analíticos que permitan indagar en la asociación de COVID-19 y su impacto en la salud mental.

The teaching process in medicine has challenges that can induce academic stress and thus affect mental health, so it is essential to take care of the mental health of future physicians. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the mental health of medical students at a private university in Colombia, adjusted for academic stress. Using a cross-sectional design, 443 students were recruited (68.4% women, 31.6% men) who completed a questionnaire with sociodemographic and academic variables, the Systemic Cognitive Inventory for the Study of Academic Stress and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised inventory. Risk factors were analyzed using a Generalized Linear Model by Poisson family and log link. Thirty-eight point three percent of the students presented a level of mental health risk. Protective factors included regular physical activity (RPa = 0.78) and extracurricular activities (RPa = 0.75), while risk factors were psychoactive substance use (RPa = 1.36), energy drinks (RPa = 1.35) and having an alternative occupation to studying (RPa = 1.47). The study provided information on the need for intervention in factors beyond academic stress, seeking to maintain the well-being of students and thus avoid academic dropout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: In Latin America, alcoholic beverages consumption is a main reason of problems related to physical, mental and social health. The National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples states that indigenous populations are vulnerable problems related to alcohol consumption because a set of characteristics such as extreme poverty and educational backwardness. Our objective was to determine the effect of perceived stress on alcohol consumption in an indigenous population. Method: Study design was descriptive, correlational, and predictive. Results: Perceived stress was positively and significantly related to the number of drinks consumed in a typical day (rs = .211, p ‹.01), it's also related with alcohol consumption (AUDIT) (rs = .328, p ‹ .01), however, it was negatively and significantly related to age (rs = -.135, p ‹.05). The final Model presented a significant effect in the whole model (F(1,110) = 20.126, p = .001), explaining 39.3% of the variance of alcohol consumption. Perceived stress was found to have a positive and significant effect on alcohol consumption (B =.229, p ‹ .001). Conclusions: Perceived stress is a factor influencing excessive alcohol consumption in indigenous populations, drug use is considered a coping strategy to deal with stressful problems in daily life. The population presented problems with heavy episodic drinking, past year drinking with high prevalence and harmful drinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may lead to increased behavioural problems in children. However, the mediating roles of psychological distress and corporal punishment, two common mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of maternal ACEs, in these relations have not been examined in Chinese samples. Multigenerational homes (MGH) are the dominate living arrangement in China; however, limited research focuses on the effects of MGHs on the intergenerational transmission of maternal ACEs. Objective: This study explored the parallel mediating effects of corporal punishment and psychological distress on the association between maternal ACEs and children’s behaviour and whether MGHs can strengthen or weaken the relationship between maternal ACEs and corporal punishment or psychological distress. Participants and setting: Participants were 643 three-year-old children and their mothers (mean age of 32.85 years, SD = 3.79) from Wuhu, China. Methods: Mothers completed online questionnaires measuring ACEs, psychological distress, corporal punishment, their family structure, and children’s behavioural problems. This study used a moderated mediation model. Results: The findings suggest that psychological distress and corporal punishment mediate the association between maternal ACEs and children’s behavioural problems. The mediating role of corporal punishment was found depend on whether mothers and their children reside in MGHs. MGHs were not found to have a moderating role in the indirect relationship between maternal ACEs and children’s behaviour problems via psychological distress. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of addressing psychological distress and corporal punishment when designing interventions targeted Chinese mothers exposed to ACEs and their children, especially those living in MGHs.

Biodiversity conservation work can be challenging but rewarding, and both aspects have potential consequences for conservationists' mental health. Yet, little is known about patterns of mental health among conservationists and its associated workplace protective and risk factors. A better understanding might help improve working conditions, supporting conservationists' job satisfaction, productivity, and engagement, while reducing costs from staff turnover, absenteeism, and presenteeism. We surveyed 2311 conservation professionals working in 122 countries through an internet survey shared via mailing lists, social media, and other channels. We asked them about experiences of psychological distress, working conditions, and personal characteristics. Over half were from and worked in Europe and North America, and most had a university‐level education, were in desk‐based academic and practitioner roles, and responded in English. Heavy workload, job demands, and organizational instability were linked to higher distress, but job stability and satisfaction with one's contributions to conservation were associated with lower distress. Respondents with low dispositional and conservation‐specific optimism, poor physical health, and limited social support, women, and early‐career professionals were most at risk of distress in our sample. Our results flag important risk factors that employers could consider, although further research is needed among groups underrepresented in our sample. Drawing on evidence‐based occupational health interventions, we suggest measures that could promote better working conditions and thus may improve conservationists' mental health and abilities to protect nature.

Objective: To evaluate the modifying effect of social capital on the relationship between living in violent communities and the presence of psychological distress in adolescents and youth in Mexico. Method: The analysis of the Social Cohesion Survey for the Prevention of Violence and Crime (ECOPRED, by its acronym in Spanish) was conducted. The analytic sample consisted of 39,639 participants aged 12 to 29 years. Community violence and social capital were measured at the census tract level using the average answers of a household's head sample. These environmental variables were independent of the experiences of the participants. Social capital variables included structural (social ties, recreational participation, collaborative participation, and social cohesion), and cognitive (trust in neighbors) dimensions. Multilevel structural equation models were used. Results: Recreational participation, collaborative participation, and social cohesion modified the relationship between community environments and psychological distress. In females who lived in places with less recreational participation or less social cohesion, the higher the social disorder, the higher the psychological distress. A similar relationship between vandalism and psychological distress was identified, but only in males who lived in places with less collaborative participation, and in females with less social cohesion. Conclusions: Our results suggest that dimensions of the structural social capital (organization and interest in the community and its members) were the ones that had the buffering effect of the exposure to disordered community environments on psychological distress. Resumen: Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto modificador del capital social en la relación entre vivir en comunidades violentas y la presencia de distrés psicológico en adolescentes y jóvenes de México. Método: Se realizó un análisis de la Encuesta de Cohesión Social para la Prevención de la Violencia y el Delito (ECOPRED). La muestra analítica la conformaron 39.639 participantes de 12 a 29 años. La violencia comunitaria y el capital social se midieron por zonas censales utilizando el promedio de respuestas de una muestra de jefes de hogar. Estas variables ambientales fueron independientes de las experiencias de los participantes. Las variables del capital social incluyeron dimensiones estructurales (vínculos sociales, participación recreativa, participación colaborativa y cohesión social) y cognitivas (confianza en vecinos). Se utilizaron modelos de ecuaciones estructurales multinivel. Resultados: La participación recreativa, la participación colaborativa y la cohesión social modificaron la relación entre los ambientes comunitarios y el distrés psicológico. En las mujeres que se encontraban en lugares con menor participación recreativa o menor cohesión social, cuanto mayor era el desorden social, mayor era el distrés psicológico. Se identificó una relación similar entre vandalismo y distrés psicológico, pero solo en hombres que vivían en lugares con menor participación colaborativa y en mujeres con menor cohesión social. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugieren que las dimensiones del capital social estructural (organización e interés en la comunidad y sus miembros) tienen un efecto amortiguador de la exposición a ambientes comunitarios desordenados sobre el distrés psicológico.

Objetivo: conocer la relación que existe entre la Inteligencia Emocional y los Eventos Estresantes de la Vida en los Adultos Mayores. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo correlacional realizado en 95 participantes de Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México. Se aplicó una Cedula de Datos Personales, la Escala de Meta-Estado de Ánimo y el Inventario de Estrés en la Vida de Adultos Mayores. Resultados: el 64.2% de los participantes pertenecieron al sexo femenino, los eventos que más experimentaron los AM en el último año fueron la presencia de una lesión o enfermedad en el Adulto Mayor (67.4%), el no poder realizar actividades que disfrutaba mucho (65.3%) y la muerte de un miembro cercano a la familia (63.8%). No se encontró relación significativa entre la Inteligencia Emocional y los Eventos Estresantes de la Vida en los Adultos Mayores (rs = -.06, p = .56), sin embargo, se realizó en análisis con cada uno de los eventos y los resultados mostraron que la Inteligencia Emocional se relacionó de forma positiva con la muerte de un miembro cercano a la familia (rs = .65, p = .05), la alteración en la salud de algún miembro en la familia (rs = .54, p = .05), el no poder realizar actividades que disfrutaba (rs = .54, p = .05). Conclusiones: La experiencia repetida de los Eventos Estresantes de la Vida pueden impactar de forma negativa la salud del Adulto Mayor, se requiere de más estudios que permitan identificar como la IE puede ayudar al Adulto Mayor a enfrentar estos eventos.

Objetivo: Identificar los niveles de ansiedad, estrés percibido y calidad del sueño en universitarios del noroeste de México durante la pandemia por COVID-19 y examinar su asociación con variables sociodemográficas y con preguntas relacionadas con el COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, correlacional y transversal, en una muestra no probabilística de 1691 estudiantes. Se aplicaron encuestas en línea por medio de Google Forms. Se utilizó la prueba Ji-cuadrado (χ2), la correlación de Spearman y análisis de regresión logística multivariado, se contó con aprobación de comité de ética y consentimiento informado de los participantes. Resultados: El 38.4% de los estudiantes presentaron ansiedad moderada y 36.5% severa. Predominó un nivel moderado de estrés (50.1%) y mala calidad del sueño (65.8%). La variable sexo se asoció con ansiedad (χ2 = 88.87, p < .001), estrés percibido (χ2 = 72.34, p < .001) y mala calidad del sueño (χ2 = 31.26, p < .001). La regresión logística determinó que los estudiantes cuyos ingresos familiares disminuyeron a causa de la pandemia presentaron mayor riesgo de ansiedad (OR = 1.67, p =.001), estrés (OR= 1.57, p =.011) y mala calidad del sueño (OR = 1.46). Conclusiones: Más de la mitad de los estudiantes universitarios que participaron en esta investigación presentaron algún nivel de ansiedad, estrés y mala calidad de sueño durante la pandemia por COVID-19, por lo anterior, se requiere el desarrollo de programas de intervención psicosocial de salud mental dirigidos a estudiantes universitarios.

Introducción: Madres con bajo sentido de coherencia toman menos decisiones alimentarias saludables, presentan mayor estrés de la crianza y mayor frecuencia de prácticas de alimentación coercitivas, asociadas a mayor riesgo de sobrepeso-obesidad en preescolares. Objetivo: Revisar y analizar estudios publicados de la relación del sentido de coherencia, estrés de la crianza y prácticas de alimentación infantil en madres de preescolares. Metodología: Revisión sistemática de 10 estudios publicados entre 2016 a 2021 localizados en bases de datos PubMed, Ebsco host, Springer link, Elsevier y Google académico, con descriptores: sense of coherence, parenting stress, child feeding practices, feeding behavior, empleando criterios de selección: artículos con diseño correlacional, trasversal, longitudinal, revisión sistemática y metaanálisis en base a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses. Resultados: 60 % evaluó estrés de la crianza y prácticas de alimentación infantil y prácticas de alimentación infantil e índice de masa corporal del hijo, 20 % sentido de coherencia y conductas saludables y 20 % sentido de coherencia y prácticas de alimentación infantil y estrés de la crianza respectivamente. Se encontró que el sentido de coherencia y estrés de la crianza son predictores de prácticas de alimentación infantil coercitivas asociadas a obesidad en el preescolar. Conclusiones: El sentido de coherencia y el estrés de la crianza son predictores de prácticas de alimentación infantil coercitivas. Se sugiere realizar estudios que evalúen la asociación de las tres variables y evaluar el efecto mediador del estrés de la crianza entre el sentido de coherencia y prácticas de alimentación infantil.

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.

Fundamento: la cefalea y el estrés pueden llegar a ser bastante comunes en la vida de los estudiantes universitarios. Por ello, es una necesidad el estudio profundo de las causas y consecuencias de dicha problemática.Objetivo: caracterizar la cefalea en estudiantes de Medicina cubanos en relación con factores asociados al estrés académico.Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 205 estudiantes de medicina cubanos durante abril y mayo de 2022. Se estudiaron las variables edad, sexo, año académico, presencia de enfermedad asociada, frecuencia por semana, horas de sueño promedio por día, variación de frecuencia (durante exámenes orales, exámenes escritos, guardias médicas, exigencias extracurriculares altas, días libres), intensidad promedio del dolor, horario más frecuente de inicio, duración, fármacos más utilizados y utilización de fármacos para aliviar el dolor.Resultados: la incidencia de cefalea fue de 91,2 %, con predominio en el sexo femenino (95,6 %). Los estudiantes refirieron una mayor frecuencia (61 %) en horarios vespertino, así como en situaciones de exámenes escritos (64,4 %). En los días libres disminuyó la frecuencia (67,3 %). El año académico no mostró influencia significativa en la duración o intensidad de la cefalea. El uso de fármacos no siempre se planteó como efectivo para tratar el dolor. La dipirona fue referida como el fármaco más utilizado (47,8 %).Conclusiones: los factores asociados al estrés académico se relacionaron con la presencia de cefaleas en estudiantes de Medicina cubanos, y son la posible causa de su elevada incidencia.

Resultado: la puntuación media en los HA fue de 10, 48 ± 2, 34. El 79, 8 % de los participantes presentaron deficientes o malos hábitos alimenticios, los estudiantes con malos hábitos alimenticios tienen 6, 88 veces más riesgo de presentar ansiedad 8, 83 veces más riesgo de presentar depresión; 6, 82 veces más riesgo de presentar estrés y 7, 76 veces más riesgo de presentar trastornos del sueño que los estudiantes con buenos hábitos alimenticios. Conclusiones: el estudio evidencio que los malos hábitos alimenticios de los estudiantes causados por diversas causas como la falta de tiempo para comer aumentan los niveles de estrés, ansiedad, depresión y mala calidad del sueño en los estudiantes de odontología.

Las condiciones impuestas por la pandemia de COVID 19 generó estrés en el personal de enfermería que asistió a los contagiados, cuyo nivel estuvo condicionado por la capacidad de afrontamiento. El objetivo del estudio fue correlacionar el nivel de estrés y la capacidad afrontamiento en profesionales de enfermería que laboraron en las áreas de atención a pacientes críticos en los hospitales generales públicos de las provincias ecuatorianas: Imbabura, Carchi, Sucumbíos y Esmeraldas, durante el año 2021. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño no experimental y alcance correlacional; en la que participaron los 240 de ese contexto. Los datos se recolectaron mediante dos instrumentos: la Escala de Estresores Laborales en Personal de Enfermería y la Escala de Medición del Proceso de Afrontamiento y Adaptación. El 68,3% de los encuestados tenían menos de 36 años, el 80,8% era de sexo femenino y el 88% tenía nivel de formación de licenciatura. La mayoría tenía un nivel alto de capacidad de afrontamiento (76,7%); mientras que, en el caso del estrés fue el nivel medio (68,8%). Entre ambas variables de estudio se estableció una correlación positiva estadísticamente significativa con una intensidad moderada.

El objetivo de la investigación fue establecer la asociación entre índice de masa corporal y estrés percibido en un grupo de adultos ecuatorianos; así como, determinar la capacidad predictiva de algunas variables sociodemográficas con respecto al índice de masa corporal. El estudio tuvo un diseño observacional, alcance asociativo y de corte transversal, en el que participaron 307 personas adultas con edades entre 18 a 65 años incluidos mediante un procedimiento de bola de nieve. Los datos se recolectaron mediante el uso de la Escala de Estrés Percibido y dos secciones adicionales para datos generales y medidas antropométricas. Se halló que el 36,8% de la población de estudio tenía sobrepeso u obesidad, mientras que el 77,5% de la población tiene un mediano riesgo de estrés, siendo las mujeres las más afectadas; sin que se asociara estadísticamente al sexo con el índice de masa corporal ni con el riesgo de estrés. En la población investigada predominó el grupo etario entre 18 y 30 años, el sexo femenino y los que declararon ser estudiantes en el momento de llenar el instrumento. El valor de R cuadrado ajustado indicó que el conjunto de variables sociodemográficas estudiadas agrupadas era predictor del IMC en el entorno investigado.

Introduction: University education constitutes a process that generates many tensions for the students from all over the world, which has been associated with high stress levels, anxiety and depression. Objective: To describe the manifestations of academic stress in students from the third year of Medicine. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of 10 students from the Medicine Faculty No. 1 was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, diagnosed with academic stress in the Student Direction Unit, from January to June, 2022. Results: The moderated stress prevailed in 70.0 % of the students, with a primacy of female sex (50.0 %). The frequency of intensity of the concern was expressed in the categorical value (70.0 %) as many. Among the main identified factors that cause stress we can mention: excess of tasks and works, professors evaluations and participation in class that are part of the dynamics in the training process of the career. Also, the diversity of strategies to face this stress prevailed. Conclusions: The academic stress was mostly present in the affective and behavioral spheres of the students and was associated with events experienced as factors that cause stress.

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]

The study was aimed to analyze the association between suicide risk and the use of coping strategies in the face of stress, in school adolescents. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 565 students from 11 schools in Montería (Córdoba, Colombia), between the ages of 15 and 17, who answered the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale and the Coping Strategies Scale modified. The results obtained show that the risk of suicide in the sample of school adolescents was 28.8%. An association was found between suicidal risk and coping strategies: emotional avoidance, religion, aggressive reaction and expression difficult to cope with. These results are useful for designing comprehensive psychological interventions aimed at promoting positive coping skills as a fundamental element in the process of coping with stress for the prevention of suicide risk in the school environment, under a multisectoral approach to public health.

Objective: to analyze the diverse scientific evidence regarding the use of aromatherapy in reducing stress-related symptoms in the Nursing team. Method: an integrative literature review carried out on July 1st, 2022, based on the "Aromatherapy", "Stress" and "Nursing" descriptors and using the Rayyan platform to select the studies, all in charge of two independent researchers. Full-text and free digital access documents in Portuguese, English or Spanish were included, which analyzed aromatherapy and the population of interest separately. Results: twelve studies were included, with predominance of randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies. Inhalation aromatherapy with Lavandula angustifolia essential oil stood out. The use of a Control Group and multiple outcome measures were the criteria that presented the greatest weakness among the studies analyzed. Final considerations: Aromatherapy showed effectiveness and safety in reducing stress symptoms for the Nursing team. [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]

Introduction: Globally, mental health problems have affected nearly 1 billion people and approximately 1 in 10 Mexicans. The detection and surveillance of depression, anxiety, and stress in Mexico requires more reliable and valid instruments. Objective: To determine the factor validity and internal consistency of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items (DASS-21) in a non-probabilistic national sample of Mexican adults. Method: Cross-sectional study by means of an online survey of 1 613 Mexican adults aged 18 years and older. The Spanish version of the DASS-21 was used, which evaluates the presence of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress. Factor validity was determined by comparing different confirmatory factor analysis models: one-dimensional, three factors (correlated and non-correlated), second order, and bifactor. Results: The application of the bifactor model to the DASS 21, supports its validity for identifying the presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as an altered general emotional state in a sample of Mexican adults. Conclusions: The DASS-21 is a theoretically robust instrument useful for research and clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Psychological stress is a reaction to an unexpected situation that favours adaptation and response to the event. However, when psychological stress is chronic or very intense, it can induce changes in various systems and tissues, causing diseases or aggravating existing ones. Objective: To briefly analyse the pathophysiological conditions caused by psychological stress. Method: A narrative review of the scientific literature on pathophysiological conditions as a consequence of psychological stress was performed. Results: Psychological stress can induce various conditions at the gastrointestinal, immune and cardiovascular levels. This is mainly due to the neurobiological and endocrine response because when faced with a stressful stimulus, a deregulated release of glucocorticoids and catecholamines is generated, altering the normal physiology of the organism. Gastrointestinal disorders are mainly due to goblet cell dysfunction, resulting in intestinal hyperpermeability, inflammation and infection. Changes at the immune level lead to an increase in inflammatory responses but a decrease in the protective activities of the immune system. Finally, cardiovascular conditions include atherosclerosis, increased blood pressure and stroke. Conclusion: Psychological stress can induce real physiological pathologies and, in some cases, fatal ones. Some of the molecular mechanisms involved in these pathologies have already been studied and identified. Knowledge of these molecular mechanisms can help clinicians and therapists to improve the treatment and therapy of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
