This study aimed to analyze the resilience and life satisfaction factors that predicted and protected adolescents from depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 278 adolescents aged between 14 and 17 years completed the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI-20), the Resiliency Scale for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), and the Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale for Adolescents (MLSSA) at two-time points during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 and 2021). A LASSO regression was carried out to test the main predictors that could protect against depressive symptoms, and posteriorly, a mixedeffects generalized linear model was calculated to identify the significance of the results. The results indicated that the main predictors selected that protected against depressive symptoms were family, self, compared self, and self-efficacy from the MLSSA, as well as optimism, trust, sensitivity, and impairment from the RSCA. Statistical significance was only found for optimism (OR=.63, p<.05). Accordingly, it was concluded that factors of resilience and life satisfaction could have protected against depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic, and interventions focused on strengthening these factors could be implemented to minimize adverse mental health outcomes, such as depressive symptoms.

La migración internacional es un tema de relevancia política, económica y social en todo el mundo. Asegurar el derecho de las personas migrantes internacionales a la protección de la salud, es un reto para los países de expulsión, tránsito y destino. La enfermería tiene un papel vital para lograr que las personas migrantes internacionales, mantengan un estado de salud que permita la movilización, a través de la prevención de enfermedades y accidentes, la promoción de conductas saludables, el diagnóstico y cuidado oportuno de enfermedades transmisibles y no transmisibles, de tal forma, que el desarrollo de intervenciones en los espacios de grandes flujos migratorios, coadyuva a garantizar una migración segura desde el enfoque del cuidado de la salud mundial.

La gratitud ha sido considerada como un factor protector de diferentes enfermedades mentales y proporciona a los individuos mayores sentimientos de connotación positiva hacia la vida, lo que favorece al bienestar de las personas, pero poco se ha explorado su relación con la satisfacción con la vida y la resiliencia. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación es identificar si existe relación entre la gratitud, la resiliencia y la satisfacción con la vida, y compararlas según el sexo e ingresos económicos en adultos colombianos. Para ello se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, con alcance correlacional. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios Cuestionario de Gratitud (G-20), Escala de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC 10) y Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS) en una muestra de 1099 participantes de nacionalidad colombiana, 123 hombres, 971 mujeres y 5 otros. Sus edades oscilaban entre los 19 y 67 años, y recibían en su mayoría mensualmente entre 400 000 COP y 900 000 COP (96.06 USD-218.07 USD). Los resultados mostraron altos niveles de gratitud, resiliencia y satisfacción con la vida, a nivel comparativo no se encontraron diferencias entre hombres y mujeres, los participantes con mayores ingresos económicos presentaron mayores niveles de gratitud y satisfacción con la vida en comparación de aquellos con menores ingresos, y finalmente se hallaron correlaciones fuertes y positivas entre la gratitud, resiliencia y satisfacción con la vida. En conclusión, puede contemplarse a la gratitud como un aspecto favorable para la salud, la calidad de vida y el mejoramiento de otras condiciones psicológicas.

Objective: to report the experience of using a didactic strategy aimed at teaching risk and protective factors for chronic non-communicable diseases among nursing students. Method: descriptive study, experience report type, carried out in the first quarter of 2024, with 28 students in the fourth period of their undergraduate nursing degree at a public university in Rio de Janeiro. A teaching strategy was developed that included a survey of previous knowledge about chronic non-communicable diseases, the production of individual hand drawings representing protective and risk factors and the presentation of the collective factors of the class in image format using GEPHI software. Results: the most prevalent diseases in the students' family context were hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The most cited protective factors were the absence of tobacco and alcohol consumption, regular physical activity, a support network, and access to health services. Conversely, the risk factors were genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle, stress, and inadequate diet. Conclusion: the teaching strategy contributed to the teaching-learning process by dialoguing with the students' reality and pointed to the need to incorporate active methodologies in health training.

The aim of this monographic documentary study is to analyze the scientific literature related to risk and protective factors associated with non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors (SIA) in adolescents. The findings of 274 open access papers published in English and Spanish on ScienceDirect and EBSCO platforms between the years 2010 and 2020, related to non-suicidal CAL in adolescents between 12 and 19 years old, are compiled. We found empirical evidence of the relationship between sociodemographic, psychological, family and social factors with non-suicidal CAL, and concluded that there is no single determinant factor and that there may be direct or mediating variables of these behaviors; also, an important theoretical gap was evidenced, mainly in relation to protective factors.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple stressors that may lead to symptoms of adjustment disorder. Objective: We longitudinally examined relationships between risk and protective factors, pandemic-related stressors and symptoms of adjustment disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as whether these relationships differed by the time of assessment. Method: The European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS) ADJUST Study included N = 15,169 participants aged 18 years and above. Participants from 11 European countries were recruited and screened three times at 6-month intervals from June 2020 to January 2022. Associations between risk and protective factors (e.g. gender), stressors (e.g. fear of infection), and symptoms of adjustment disorder (AjD, ADNM-8) and their interaction with time of assessment were examined using mixed linear regression. Results: The following predictors were significantly associated with higher AjD symptom levels: female or diverse gender; older age; pandemic-related news consumption >30 min a day; a current or previous mental health disorder; trauma exposure before or during the pandemic; a good, satisfactory or poor health status (vs. very good); burden related to governmental crisis management and communication; fear of infection; restricted social contact; work-related problems; restricted activity; and difficult housing conditions. The following predictors were associated with lower AjD levels: self-employment or retirement; working in healthcare; and face-to-face contact ≥ once a week with loved ones or friends. The effects of the following predictors on AjD symptoms differed by the time of assessment in the course of the pandemic: a current or previous mental disorder; burden related to governmental crisis management; income reduction; and a current trauma exposure. Conclusions: We identified risk factors and stressors predicting AjD symptom levels at different stages of the pandemic. For some predictors, the effects on mental health may change at different stages of a pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

“Decisiones acertadas” es una iniciativa de autorregulación de la profesión médica que es totalmente consistente con el artículo 17 de la Ley Estatutaria, la cual establece la autonomía de la profesión, pero con autorregulación. La Asociación Colombiana de Sociedades Científicas adopta la iniciativa como mecanismo para concretar acciones de autorregulación, aprovechando este espacio que ha abierto la Ley Estatutaria, porque es una manera de demostrarle a la sociedad que las organizaciones médicas estamos preocupadas por la autorregulación, la cual tiene un efecto muy importante: el de contribuir a la preservación de la confianza de la sociedad en sus médicos. Esta iniciativa corresponde a una de mayor alcance a nivel internacional, que comenzó en Estados Unidos en el año 2012, “Choosing Wisely”, y que se ha difundido por diversos países del mundo. En la actualidad, más de 30 naciones han adoptado esta misma propuesta con otros nombres, pero con el mismo contenido y sentido: generar recomendaciones acerca de conductas médicas que se deben cuestionar o que se deben eliminar, ya sea porque no hay evidencia de que funcionen o porque hay evidencia de que hacen daño. Siempre basado en la mejor evidencia disponible.

El consumo de alcohol se considera un fenómeno complejo y multifactorial que puede estudiarse a través de diversas posturas teóricas, sin embargo, algunas teorías existentes carecen de suficientes elementos para explorar y comprender dicho fenómeno. Por lo anterior, se propone una Teoría de Rango Medio que aborde los factores personales, ambientales y representaciones sociales del consumo de alcohol en jóvenes universitarios a partir de la Teoría Cognitiva Social de Bandura y de la conceptualización de la representación social de Moscovici. Para ello, se utilizó el método de Estructura Conceptual-Teórico-Empírico propuesto por Fawcett, compuesto por cinco pasos. La teoría derivada de este método contribuye en la identificación de un fenómeno específico para la disciplina mediante la determinación de conceptos y su relación con el consumo de alcohol en jóvenes universitarios. Además, de la incorporación de las representaciones sociales como elemento innovador para la profundización del fenómeno. Esta propuesta puede ser considerada en futuras investigaciones para ser probada y contribuir significativamente en el desarrollo de conocimiento sobre el consumo de alcohol.

Introduction: there has been an increase in lung cancer mortality in the world in recent years as a consequence of the increase in the pre-valence of smoking. Objective: to propose orienting activities on lung cancer protective factors in the smoking population. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out in 38 smokers belonging to a population at risk in the Municipality of Quemado de Güines out of a total of 58, which constituted the study population. Quantitative nonprobabilistic intentional sampling was used to select the sample. Results: the research revealed a predominance of the 66 to 75 years old age group (39.47%), male sex (55.26%) and workers (47.36%) and it was corroborated that 55.26% consumed more than 10 cigarettes a day and that 97.36% were uninformed about the elements that reduce the risk or prevent this disease from causing harm. Conclusions: the smoking population was oriented to minimize or eliminate the habit after the prevailing misinformation about lung cancer, the protective factors of the disease in the sample studied and the actions to be taken to prevent it.

Objetivo: identificar la prevalencia y los factores personales asociados a la violencia autoinfligida en adolescentes. Método: estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. La población estuvo constituida por notificaciones de violencia interpersonal o autoinfligida entre adolescentes de Brasil, provenientes del Sistema de Información de Enfermedades De Declaración Obligatoria. Se incluyeron las notificaciones ocurridas entre 2009 y 2021 en Brasil, en adolescentes de 10 a 19 años. Los datos fueron analizados con estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Resultados: la prevalencia de violencia autoinfligida fue del 27,39% en Brasil. Los adolescentes negros aumentan la prevalencia de la violencia autoinfligida en un 3%, y los pardos e indígenas en un 2%; más de 8 años de escolaridad constituye un factor protector en relación a la violencia autoinfligida, reduciendo en un 12% la prevalencia de la violencia autoinfligida. Conclusión: los resultados indican la necesidad de diseñar políticas y estrategias efectivas para ayudar a la atención de esta población.

Despite the empirical evidence on the important role of early adverse experiences in physical and mental health of the last three decades, some confusion about concepts still persists concerning the complex relationship between adversity, stress, and trauma. Conceptual advances are needed favoring an approach from primary, secondary, and tertiary health models. In line with this, the main goal of the present paper is to develop a transactional synthesis of the existing relationship between early adversity, stress system, trauma and attachment system, involved neurobiological mechanisms, as well as their consequences and challenges for mental health during development and later life. Using the narrative revision method, fundamental literature will be suggested and critically discussed in a selective way. We propose that a transactional and multilevel approach is useful to highlight the possibilities that emerge from analyzing the continuum between protective factors, adversity, and trauma, emphasizing the complex structure of their connections with trauma psychobiology.

Psychosocial processes in work organizations have only been addressed in recent decades by international institutions and researchers, considering risks, predominantly, and protective psychosocial factors. The knowledge produced in Work and Organizational Psychology (POT) includes contributions from theoretical and research approaches that are concerned with protective factors and the identification and reduction of occupational psychosocial risks. However, there are still theoretical-methodological disputes regarding the definition, operationalization and management of these risks, to mitigate them in terms of worker exposure and both to prevent and assist those exposed to the dangers arising from the organization of work and its harmful consequences for mental health of workers. The article contributes to the production of knowledge, based on a narrative review on the topic, by presenting the main European and Brazilian definitions and measurement instruments and some management possibilities, considering the productions of some of the main authors and international bodies that look into the issue. It is concluded that there is a need to eliminate and/or manage psychosocial factors at work that imply risks, with a view to preventing and promoting emancipation, health and human dignity at work.

Objetivo: Revisar los aspectos clínicos necesarios a tomar en cuenta por el médico tratante al interpretar los reportes de los hallazgos radiológicos en la mamografía y de otras pruebas diagnósticas para un diagnóstico integral del cáncer de mama. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de manuscritos publicados entre el 2010 y el 2020 sobre factores de riesgo y factores protectores que pueden verse involucrados en la incidencia del cáncer de mama. Se revisaron publicaciones de investigaciones realizadas en mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama de tipo ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, casos y controles, revisiones sistemáticas, metaanálisis y guías internacionales. Se buscó en las bases de datos bibliográficas PubMed, EBSCO y Scopus, publicaciones en inglés o español, utilizando términos provenientes de los Descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud (DeCS). Resultados: Se identificaron un total de 735 artículos en las búsquedas, de los cuáles se excluyeron 508 por su poca relevancia de acuerdo con el título. De los 227 restantes se excluyeron 22 por estar repetidos en las distintas bases, 12 porque no cumplían con los criterios de inclusión, 83 durante la revisión del resumen, y 28 al revisar el texto completo. En total se incluyeron 82 artículos para elaborar esta revisión. Los factores identificados en la revisión de la literatura se clasificaron en tres áreas: fisiopatológicos, gíneco-obstétricos y ambientales. Los factores de riesgo fisiopatológicos son la historia familiar, hiperplasia epitelial atípica, etnia, mayor edad, diabetes tipo II, síndrome metabólico, mayor peso y talla y mutaciones genéticas; los gíneco-obstétricos son la menarquía temprana, la menopausia tardía y la nuliparidad; y los ambientales incluyen fármacos, hábitos de vida, procedimientos médicos y alimentación. Mientras que, entre los factores protectores, los factores fisiopatológicos son el hipotiroidismo, el asma y la rinitis alérgica; los gínecoobstétricos son la multiparidad, el primer embarazo a una edad temprana y dar lactancia; y los ambientales incluyen fármacos, procedimientos médicos y alimentación. Conclusiones: El conocimiento de los factores protectores y los factores de riesgo permitiría hacer un abordaje más integral en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama.

Background: the pandemic associated with COVID-19 forced the search for ways to sustain processes and services. The teleworking modality became an ally to be able to cope with work from home. In 2022, the process of returning to presence in Chilean Higher Education began. Objective: to identify protective and hindering factors identified by academic and non-academic workers of Chilean Higher Education institutions to return to attendance. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. We worked with a total sample of 124 participants. The sample was obtained from the voluntary participation of academic and non-academic officials who responded to a survey via form. The data was collected between October 2021 and March 2022. A questionnaire was applied about protective and hindering factors present in safe return. The data was recoded to work with frequencies and percentages of responses. Results: the greatest obstacles perceived for the return to work presence correspond to people who declare the presence of chronic disease and some symptom associated with mental health (52-58 %). People under 40 years of age identified the immunization factor and being in good health as facilitating factors for returning to attendance (54-62 %). Conclusions: organizations must develop support programs for return to work, so that these actions favor better levels of well-being at work. Differences in age, gender and the presence of previous chronic pathologies are considered as factors that hinder return.

El presente artículo obedece a un estudio culminado que se desarrolló con el objetivo de comprender los factores protectores y de riesgo en el desarrollo de la resiliencia en niños y niñas entre 7 y 11 años de edad, víctimas del desplazamiento forzado por conflicto armado colombiano. Esta investigación de tipo fenomenológico se realizó con un enfoque cua-litativo, a través del método histórico-hermenéutico. Para el proceso de análisis de información, se implementó el método de análisis de matrices propuesto por Bonilla y Rodríguez (2005), que permitió reconocer las recurrencias y determinar los elementos incidentes en el desarrollo de la resiliencia, entendida como un proceso dinámico que tiene como resultado la adaptación positiva en contextos de gran adversidad; además, se cumplió una rigurosa triangulación de técnicas como la entrevista semiestructurada y encuesta de caracterización, facilitando analizar los factores protectores y los factores de riesgo presentes en los niños y niñas de 7 y 11 años de edad participantes. Los resultados permitieron concluir que existe una implicación significativa desde el núcleo familiar en la evolución resiliente de los niños y niñas victimizados por el con-flicto armado colombiano, siendo la familia, en la mayoría de los casos, el promotor principal de factores protectores y de riesgo para el desarrollo de la resiliencia en esta población.

Objetivo: determinar la relación y el efecto de la edad, la escolaridad, la resiliencia, la satisfacción con la vida y las fortalezas humanas con el consumo de alcohol en universitarios. Método: diseño descriptivo, correlacional y predictivo, los participantes fueron 367 estudiantes (63.2% mujeres) de 18 a 35 años (M=21.64, DE= 2.82) de una universidad del estado de Tabasco, México. Se seleccionaron mediante un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio estratificado. La recolección de datos se realizó durante junio y julio de 2021. Resultados: Los estudiantes con mejores niveles de resiliencia están más satisfechos con la vida y tienen más fortalezas humanas. La edad se relacionó con el consumo de alcohol, y con nivel de bajo riesgo y consumo dependiente. Cuanto menor los índices de fortalezas humanas mayor es el consumo de alcohol de bajo riesgo y consumo de tipo dependiente. Las fortalezas humanas se mostraron como factores predictores (B=-0.14, p

In the context of bioethics, the fact that with the development of science and technology, of information and communication technologies, and the changes related to the ecosystem, it is necessary to guarantee respect for vulnerability and personal integrity when applying and promoting scientific knowledge, medical practice and related technologies (article 8 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights). This vulnerability is protected through respect, with equity and justice, for the basic rights of every human being and by guaranteeing personal integrity; this is the essence of protection bioethics and also constitutes the main basis of evidence-based medicine, characterized by the conscious, explicit and judicious use of clinical evidence in daily practice for patient care, for the sake of to offer the best care. There is an immediate need to provide sustainable benefits to vulnerable people in disease situations, for this reason it is vital to maintain a focus on Cuban public health from the perspective of protective bioethics and transdisciplinarity, supported by evident-based medicine, in the 3 spheres, in the care process, in the pedagogical process and in the investigative process; as the greatest exponent of Global Health, whose essence is a transdisciplinary vision, since it addresses health from the perspective of the universal right to it and to social well-being.

Research with adolescent offenders is concerned with identifying risk and protective factors that influence recidivism and desistance from crime. A quantitative and cross-sectional investigation designed to examine the influence of risk and protective factors on recidivism in Colombian adolescents is presented. In seven regions of Colombia, a convenience sample was obtained, and 646 adolescents aged 14 to 19 years (M = 17.08; SD: 1.23; 15 % girls) belonging to the Sistema de Responsabilidad Penal para Adolescentes (SRPA) participated. The Communities That Care Youth Survey (CTCYS) was used for the evaluation. It evaluated a broad set of risk and protective factors identified through the community, school, family, peer group, individual conditions, and behavioral outcomes, including drug use, antisocial behavior, and delinquency. Descriptive analyses were conducted, and all CTC-YS factors were correlated with antisocial behavior. The results show varying degrees of relationship between the factors assessed and antisocial behavior. Binary logistic regression was used to determine which risk and protective factors influence recidivism. It was noted that favorable parental attitudes towards drug use and antisocial behavior, early onset of drug use, low school engagement, and interaction with antisocial peers increases the probability of recidivism. Recidivism was identified as being affected by, among other factors, favorable parental attitudes toward drug use and antisocial behavior, early onset of drug use, and low school engagement. It was also observed that beliefs in a moral order, opportunities for prosocial school participation and lower drug use frequency reduce the probability of recidivism. According to the results, the factors that influence criminal recidivism are multiple, and social, family, school, and individual factors need to be addressed. The need to intervene in attitudes favorable to antisocial behavior on the part of parents, strengthen school services, and carry out treatment for drug use to favor the reduction of recidivism in Colombian adolescents is discussed.

En la adolescencia se presentan una serie de cambios tanto físicos como del pensamiento y se pueden generar riesgo de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, por ello surgen diferentes estrategias de promoción y prevención a través de los programas de intervención. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar la evidencia disponible sobre factores de riego y protección en la prevención del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. En esta revisión sistemática de artículos publicados en inglés, español y portugués de bases de datos como: Pubmed/Medline, Dialnet, Scopus, Redib, Lilacs, Google Scholar, Science Direct y Scielo, se incluyó estudios cuantitativos como: ensayos clínicos, estudios de cohorte, casos y controles, estudios descriptivos transversales y estudios mixtos, en adolescentes. La estrategia de búsqueda se realizó mediante las siguientes palabras “Factores De Riesgo” “Factores Protectores” “Trastornos Relacionados Con Sustancias” “Servicios Preventivos De Salud”, y los operadores booleanos AND y OR, se diagramó en el flujograma (PRISMA). Finalmente se encontró que, la mayoría de los estudios contemplaron factores personales, seguido de los factores familiares y en menor cantidad los factores de riesgo sociales.

Aunque el consumo de marihuana es altamente prevalente entre universitarios de Argentina, poco se sabe respecto a los factores que permiten distinguir a los consumidores frecuentes de marihuana de quienes consumen esporádicamente. Por esta razón, en el presente trabajo se indagó sobre las posibles variaciones en los contextos de consumo, motivos de con-sumo, normas percibidas y estrategias conductuales de protección entre universitarios con consumo frecuente o esporádico de marihuana, y se analizó la utilidad de este conjunto de variables para distinguir entre estos los tipos de consumidores mencionados. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 1083 estudiantes universitarios argentinos que completó una encues-ta en línea sobre el consumo de sustancias. En particular, este trabajo se realizó con la submuestra que reportó consumir marihuana en los últimos 30 días (n= 158; 51.3 % mujeres). Dicha encuesta interrogaba sobre el consumo de marihua-na y las consecuencias negativas asociadas, así como por motivos de consumo, normas sociales percibidas y estrategias conductuales de protección. Como resultado, los consumidores frecuentes presentaron mayor cantidad de consecuencias negativas (M = 4.92) que los consumidores esporádicos (M = 1.82; p ≤ .05), y se halló un perfil distintivo en un conjunto de variables. A nivel multivariado, los motivos de animación (or = 1.230; p ≤ .05), las estrategias conductuales de protección (or = .941; p ≤ .05), el consumo en solitario (or = 2.024; p ≤ .05) y el consumo en fiestas universitarias (or = 2.669; p ≤ .05) discriminaron significativamente entre ambas clases de consumidores. En general, los hallazgos revelaron subpoblaciones heterogéneas de consumidores de marihuana que difieren no solo en el consumo y sus consecuencias, sino también en los contextos de consumo y en un conjunto de variables relevantes. Estas subpoblaciones distintivas requieren de interven-ciones diferentes y específicas.

Objetivo: determinar el nivel de asertividad, resiliencia, autoestima y percepción en situaciones de riesgo en un grupo de estudiantes de ciencias de la salud. Métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, el muestreo fue aleatorio con 170 estudiantes. La consistencia interna de las pruebas fue: escala de autoestima (α=.66), cuestionario de confianza situacional (α=.99), cuestionario de asertividad (α=.66) y escala de resiliencia (α=.98). El proyecto fue avalado por el comité de ética del Hospital de San José, FUCS con carta expedita. Resultados: el 87.6% (n=149) eran mujeres, la mediana de la edad fue 20 años (RIQ=19 a 21), la autoestima fue elevada (Me: 34); nivel de asertividad contrariada (Me: 8); nivel de resiliencia alto (Me: 139.5); en cuanto a la percepción de riesgo en las 8 subescalas, el mayor puntaje se obtuvo en situaciones de control de consumo y presión social.

Introduction: Alcohol consumption carries a heavy social and economic burden on society, government, overall health, and health systems. Objective: Determine the relationship and effect of family dynamics and school social environment on alcohol consumption in young university students. Methodology: This was a descriptive, correlational and predictive study with a sample of 367 undergraduate students from a university in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, selected by stratified random probability sampling. The 63.2% were women, with a mean age of 21.6 years (SD=2.82). A Personal Identity Card and Prevalence of Alcohol Consumption Questionnaire, the Family Apgar, the Questionnaire to Evaluate the Social Environment within the School and the AUDIT were used. The study complied with the provisions of the Regulations of the General Health Law on Research. Results: Family dynamics and school social environment were negatively and significantly related to alcohol consumption and to the three types of consumption: low-risk, dependent and harmful. Family dynamics (B= -.040, p<.05) and school social environment (B= -.096, p<.001) were identified as predictors of alcohol consumption in university young people. Conclusion: Family dynamics and school social environment as predictors of alcohol consumption may help to prevent this harmful behavior in young university students. These results can contribute to the inclusion of these variables in the understanding of alcohol consumption behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Desde el contexto universitario se presentan factores de riesgo asociados a la ansiedad y depresión. Por dicha razón, en esta investigación-acción, desde el enfoque cualitativo, se propuso como objetivo promover la salud mental en la población estudiantil mediante cinco acciones lúdico-recreativas en la Sede de Guanacaste de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Se dio una participación de 227 estudiantes de diversas carreras y los resultados reflejaron la presencia de ideación suicida, frustración, cansancio y síntomas ansiosos, asimismo, se encontraron factores protectores como la familia, amigos y la beca socioeconómica. Se recomienda replicar el proyecto en otros contextos universitarios de forma tal que se involucre tanto a estudiantes como docentes debido a la influencia de dichos elementos en el proceso de aprendizaje.

Nowadays is observed an increase in the number of sexually abused children and adolescents from Indigenous Reservation of Dourados (RID). This fact brings light to the serious problem of social vulnerability among this population and signalizes a special need for public policies for native peoples. The objective of this study was characterizing the sexual abuse of indigenous children and adolescents. To do that, it was made a qualitative research with a documentary analysis of 20 reports published in 10 state newspapers, between 2015 to 2020. The results were interpreted with a decolonial approach and reveal that female children were the most victimized. Besides, most of the aggressors were related to the victims, and social vulnerability and alcohol use were identified as risk factors. To face violence against indigenous children and adolescents it is suggested the articulation of a specialized network of assistance, as well as the implementation of public policies that consider the intersectionality of social markers of gender, ethnicity, age, and territory.

Introduction: sexual behavior has gained greater emphasis among health professionals due to the social and personal repercussions it has caused in new generations. It has become a public health problem at national and international level, which affects such a vulnerable population as adolescents. Purpose: this study aims to empirically evaluate the direct and indirect influence of age, sex, self-efficacy to prevent HIV, sexual resilience, psychological well-being, self-concept, functional social support and family communication on protected sexual behaviors in Venezuelan high school students. Method: it comprises a non-experimental, correlational, explanatory study with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 317 students was taken, selected under an accidental non-probabilistic sampling. Results: it was found that protective sexual behaviors are directly influenced by HIV prevention self-efficacy, sexual resilience and self-concept, and indirectly by functional social support, sex and family communication. Conclusion: These findings will allow the design of health promotion strategies that foster personal resources that will help students maintain safe sexual behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El surgimiento del virus SARS-CoV2 y la pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido amplias repercusiones en diversos ámbitos de la salud mental. Entre los principales factores que se identifican como detonantes se encuentran los cambios en los comportamientos sociales, los estilos de vida, la incertidumbre ante la salud física, estabilidad económica y laboral; la pérdida de la salud propia o de un familiar cercano y el duelo por la muerte; acompañado de manifestaciones físicas y psicológicas como ansiedad, trastornos de sueño, dificultad de concentración, entre otros. Surge el término fatiga pandémica asociado a la enfermedad COVID-19 que hace referencia a la apatía y cansancio ante las medidas para contener la enfermedad, la cual se entiende como una reacción natural y esperada a los cambios con manifestaciones físicas y mentales, principalmente refiriéndose a la adversidad sostenida durante un tiempo prolongado y no resuelta, incrementando la desmotivación, así como sentimientos de complacencia, alienación y desesperanza; lo cual significaría un aumento de conductas de riesgo y, por lo tanto, un posible aumento desmesurado de contagios. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo resaltar algunas de las repercusiones a la salud mental ocasionadas por la pandemia, sus detonantes y los mecanismos de adaptación de los individuos, y enfatizar la importancia de la fatiga pandémica como fenómeno emergente que debe ser considerado para su correcto abordaje.

In adolescence, we, as individuals, experience certain transition periods, not only physical, but also in the way we reason. For this, different promotion and prevention strategies are generated through intervention programs. The objective of this work is to review the available evidence on risk and protective factors in the prevention of psychoactive substance use. In this systematic bibliographic review, during 2020, of articles published in databases in English, Spanish and Portuguese such as Pubmed / Medline, Dialnet, Scopus, Redib, Lilacs, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Scielo, quantitative studies such as clinical trials were included, cohort studies, cases and controls, cross-sectional descriptive studies and mixed studies, in the adolescent population. The search strategy was carried out accepting the descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS), "Risk factors" "Protective factors" "Substancerelated disorders" "Preventive health services", with the Boolean operators AND and OR, the diagram flow (PRISMA) was used. The content analysis yielded a clear contrast in the interpretation of the theoretical references, the organization of knowledge and the bibliography found. Finally, it was found that most of the studies contemplated personal factors, followed by family factors and, to a social risk factors. Regarding protective factors, mostly those of a social nature, followed by those of a personal nature and in a percentage similar to those of a family nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Situation-Specific Theories (SST) address a relatively concrete and specific phenomenon that allow describing, explaining and predicting how it occurs. Their main function is to provide a structure and a guidance for the interpretation of initially puzzling behaviors, processes, human responses and events. Objective: to generate a SST that explains the socio-ecological protective factors of alcohol consumption in young university students based on the analysis of McLeroy's Socio-Ecological Model (SEM). Methodology: the Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical (C-T-E) structure proposed by Fawcett was used, which consists of five steps 1) identification of concepts, 2) classification of concepts, 3) identification and classification of propositions, 4) hierarchical order of propositions and 5) construction of the diagram. Results: the SST is the result of the C-T-E structure, contributes to the identification of a discipline-specific phenomenon, and determines concepts, relationships and possible effect of protective factors on drinking behavior. Conclusion: the method was appropriate to build the Situation-Specific Theory as it allowed its development having a conceptual and theoretical basis and empirical indicators with which the concepts (variables) can be measured in different contexts (research and practice).

Objective: to determine the relationship and the effects of age, schooling, resilience, life satisfaction and human strengths with alcohol consumption in university students. Method: descriptive, correlational and predictive design, the participants were 367 students (63.2% women) aged 18 to 35 years (M=21.64, SD= 2.82) from a university in the state of Tabasco, Mexico. They were selected by stratified random probability sampling. Data collection was carried out during June and July 2021. Results: students with higher levels of resilience are more satisfied with life and have more human strengths. Age was related to alcohol consumption, and to low-risk and dependent drinking. The lower the indices of human strengths, the higher the low-risk and dependent alcohol consumption. Human strengths were shown to be predictors (B=- 0.14, p<.01) of alcohol consumption in young university students. Conclusion: human strengths are a negative predictor of alcohol consumption in college youth. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon of alcohol consumption.

According to the subsystem for monitoring domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse (SIVIM) for the year 2020, a total of 14,327 cases of abuse against children and adolescents were reported in the city of Bogota. These figures show a latent problem in society with respect to the vulnerability of the rights of minors; however, the consequences on the mental health of this population are even more alarming. Child abuse and specifically neglect is a complex issue, and its study relates individual, family and socio-cultural variables, which make the study of child abuse and neglect even more complex. The main objective is to identify the risk factors associated with cases of neglect reported in the Colsubsidio Children's Clinic in the first quarter of the year 2021. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study with a quantitative methodology. The review of clinical histories was counted with a sample __among children and adolescents aged 0 to 17 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
