RESUMEN La integración de las tecnologías en la sala de clases es una situación problemática, que ha impedido al estudiantado incorporarse a la enseñanza digital. La reciente pandemia por el COVID 19 reveló brechas del capital cultural tecnológico familiar, cuestión relevante, porque la familia, es decir, padres y apoderados, son un factor en la integración de tecnología en la sala de clases de sus hijos en enseñanza básica. El objetivo general de esta investigación fue medir el grado de incidencia de la familia en la integración de tecnologías en las aulas. A través de una metodología cuantitativa, una técnica de encuesta, la aplicación de un cuestionario a padres de estudiantes de octavo año básico y el uso de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se confirmó que, dentro del factor familiar, la disponibilidad de recursos es la variable de mayor incidencia en la integración digital en el aula, con un valor de regresión de 2.002; seguida del capital cultural tecnológico, con un valor de 1.443; y finalmente el uso y competencias tecnológicas, con un peso de 0.614.

ABSTRACT The integration of technologies in the classroom is a problematic situation, which has prevented students from incorporating digital learning. The recent COVID 19 pandemic revealed gaps in the family technological cultural capital, a relevant issue, because the family, i.e. parents and guardians, are a factor in the integration of technology in the classroom of their children in elementary school. The general objective of this doctoral research was to measure the degree of incidence of the family in the integration of technologies in the classroom. Through a quantitative methodology, the survey technique, the application of a questionnaire to parents of eighth grade students and the use of a structural equation model, it was confirmed that, within the family factor, the availability of resources is the variable with the greatest impact on digital integration in the classroom, with a regression value of 2.002; followed by the technological cultural capital, with a value of 1.443; and finally the use and technological skills, with a weight of 0.614.

Resumo Em indivíduos com dor crónica (DC), as emoções têm um papel preponderante, podendo interferir na perceção de intensidade e a nível cognitivo, com a presença de crenças disfuncionais e, por vezes, ausência da confiança de que é possível ultrapassar o momento doloroso. Assim, os objetivos do estudo são: caracterizar a inteligência emocional (IE) e a autoeficácia (AE) de indivíduos com DC; e explorar a relação entre IE e AE em função da DC. Responderam presencialmente a um Questionário Sociodemográfico e Clínico desenvolvido para o efeito, ao Questionário de Regulação Emocional, à General Self-Efficacy Scale e ao Módulo de AE para a Dor, elaborado para este estudo, 120 pacientes adultos da consulta de Psicologia-Dor de um Hospital público (estudo transversal). A reavaliação cognitiva (RC) e a supressão emocional (SE) apresentaram valores médios superiores aos descritos na literatura. A AE da amostra encontrava-se em níveis inferiores ao estado da arte e à média da população portuguesa. A AE demonstrou uma relação com a SE em indivíduos com dor moderada e com a RC na dor intensa. Os resultados reforçam a pertinência de focar a IE e a AE na intervenção junto de indivíduos com DC.

Abstract In individuals with chronic pain (CP), emotions play a major role and can interfere with the perception of intensity and at a cognitive level, with the presence of dysfunctional beliefs and, sometimes, a lack of confidence that it is possible to overcome the painful moment. The aims of the study were therefore: to characterize the emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy (SE) of individuals with CP; and to explore the relationship between EI and SE as a function of CP. A total of 120 adult patients from the Psychology-Pain clinic of a public hospital answered a Sociodemographic and Clinical Questionnaire developed for this purpose, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Self-Efficacy Module for Pain, prepared for this study (cross-sectional study). Cognitive reappraisal (CR) and emotional suppression (ES) showed average values higher than those described in the literature. The SE of the sample was lower than the state of the art and the average for the Portuguese population. SE showed a relationship with ES in individuals with moderate pain and with CR in severe pain. The results reinforce the relevance of focusing on EI and SE in interventions with individuals with CP.

Abstract The present study aims to identify the empathic attitude of dental students from a Peruvian public university, about their reading habits, as well as the level of studies and other sociodemographic variables. 226 first-, fourth-, and sixth-year students registered in the academic year 2022 were enrolled in the study. The Jefferson Empathy scale, which included 20 items, was used with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7, i.e., from totally disagree to totally agree. A file containing questions about the sociodemographic data registry was prepared together with the Jefferson Empathy questionnaire. It was found that the profile of the students was mainly feminine, and the average age was 22 years; they came from Lima. They had the habit of reading and a little more than half of the group did not participate in sports activities. The "adequate" level of empathy was the highest (51.77%). By dichotomizing the response variable, it was found that adequate empathy was related to the habit of reading, especially reading dental books. Dental students from this public university mostly have an adequate level of empathy; it is independent of the sociodemographic variables but is related to reading habits.

Resumen En el presente estudio se planteó identificar la actitud empática de los estudiantes de odontología de una universidad pública peruana en relación al hábito de lectura así como al nivel de estudios y variables sociodemográficas. Se consideró a 226 estudiantes de primero, cuarto y sexto año matriculados en el año académico 2022. Se utilizó la escala de empatía de Jefferson que consta de 20 ítems, y cuyas categorías de respuesta val del 1 al 7 que significa totalmente en desacuerdo a totalmente de acuerdo. Se elaboró una ficha que además contenía una primera parte para llenar de acuerdo a sus datos sociodemográficos. Se encontró que el perfil de los estudiantes perteneció al sexo femenino, con una media de 22 años, procedían de Lima, presentaban el hábito de lectura y un poco más de la mitad del grupo no realizan actividades deportivas. El nivel de empatía adecuado fue el más alto (51.77%). Al dicotomizar la variable respuesta se encontro que la empatía adecuada estuvo relacionada con el hábito de lectura y con la lectura de libros de odontología. Se concluye que los estudiantes de odontología de esta universidad pública tienen mayormente nivel de empatía adecuado y que es independiente de las variables sociodemográficas pero se encuentra relacionado a los hábitos de lectura.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the influence of carbohydrate (CHO) intake on oxidative status among women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, observational and comparative study was carried out with two groups of 21 women each with and without GDM in the city of Toluca, Mexico, from January to December 2022. The sociodemographic parameters were determined by administering the patients a medical history questionnaire; anthropometric parameters such as body weight and height were measured; and biochemical parameters including total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were calculated. The oxidant/antioxidant status was assessed as follows: malondialdehyde (MDA) as oxidative stress marker; and catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as antioxidants. Dietary habits were evaluated through a 24-hour reminder in both groups of women to obtain the macronutrient classes, i.e., proteins, fats and CHOs. Based on the total carbohydrates (TCHOs), complex (CCHOs) and simple carbohydrates (SCHOs) such as sucrose were calculated. SCHOs per day were measured using the list of foods with sucrose content per 100 grams according to the Mexican Food Equivalence System (SMAE). The NutriKcal VO program was used for the dietary analysis. Statistical tests such as Student’s t test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed for the independent samples and nonhomogeneous variables, respectively, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (p < 0.05) was determined using the IBM SPSS Statistics V19. Results: The results showed that the difference between the levels of TC (p < 0.029), TG (p < 0.029), enzymes CAT (p < 0.011) and SOD (p < 0.013), as well as MDA (p < 0.039) was significantly higher among patients in the group with GDM compared to that in the group without GDM. In addition, the group with GDM consumed a higher proportion of sucrose. Conclusions: Women with GDM have an imbalance in the oxidant/antioxidant status, influenced by the type of CHO they consume, particularly SCHOs such as sucrose.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar la influencia del consumo de hidratos de carbono (HCO) sobre el estado oxidante en mujeres con y sin diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG). Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal, observacional y comparativo a dos grupos de 21 mujeres con y sin DMG, respectivamente, en la ciudad de Toluca, México, de enero a diciembre del 2022. Para evaluar parámetros sociodemográficos, se les aplicó un cuestionario de historia clínica; en cuanto a los parámetros antropométricos, se les midió peso corporal y estatura; y respecto a los parámetros bioquímicos, colesterol total (CT) y triglicéridos (TG). Para evaluar el estado oxidante/antioxidante se cuantificaron, como marcador oxidante, el malondihaldeído (MDA), y como antioxidantes, catalasa (cat), superóxido dismutasa (SOD) y capacidad antioxidante total (CAT). Los hábitos dietéticos se evaluaron a través de un recordatorio de 24 horas, en ambos grupos de mujeres, para obtener los macronutrientes: proteínas, lípidos e HCO. A partir de los hidratos de carbono totales (HCOT), se calcularon los hidratos de carbono complejos (HCOC) e hidratos de carbono simples (HCOS) como la sacarosa. Para el cálculo de HCOS por día, se usó la lista de alimentos con contenido de sacarosa por cada 100 gramos de consumo que emplea el Sistema Mexicano de Equivalentes; para el análisis de dieta, se utilizó el programa Nutrikcal VO. Se usaron las pruebas estadísticas t de Student para muestras independientes, U de Mann-Whitney para las variables no homogéneas y se realizó la correlación de Spearman (p < 0,05) en el programa SPSS, versión 19. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que la diferencia entre los valores de CT (p < 0,029), TG (p < 0,029), las enzimas: cat (p < 0,011), SOD (p < 0,013), así como el MDA (p < 0,039), fueron significativamente mayores en las pacientes del grupo con DMG en comparación con el grupo sin DMG. Además, el grupo con DMG consumió mayor proporción de sacarosa. Conclusiones: Las mujeres con DMG tienen un desequilibrio en el estado oxidante/antioxidante influenciado por el tipo de HCO que consumen, en particular los HCOS como la sacarosa.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of maternal and perinatal factors on the nutritional composition of human milk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2018 and January 2020, with 181 donors selected in Tertiary Health Units of the Unified Health System — from one collection station and five Human Milk Banks. Data were collected through a standardized questionnaire. To be fit to be a donor in a Human Milk Banks and produce mature milk were the eligibility criteria to participate in the study. We excluded milk samples with Dornic acidity above 8° D. The dependent variables were the macronutrients of human milk (i.e., carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and total energy), that were analyzed using spectroscopy with the Miris Human Milk Analyzer™. The maternal and perinatal factors were the independent variables. Results: Women with pre-gestational obesity and gestational weight gain above the recommendation showed a lower protein concentration compared to eutrophic women (median=0.8, interquartile range (IQR): 0.7–0.9 vs. median=0.8, and IQR: 0.8–1.0) and those with adequate gestational weight gain (median=0.8, IQR: 0.7–0.9 vs. median=0.9, and IQR: 0.8–1.0), respectively. The other analyzed factors (i.e., maternal habits, comorbidities, and perinatal factors) were not associated with the nutritional composition of human milk. Conclusions: The assessment of factors associated with the nutritional composition of human milk is extremely important to assist postpartum care. Pre-gestational obesity and inadequate gestational weight gain were the only factors statistically associated with the nutritional composition of human milk as they impacted its protein content.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de fatores maternos e perinatais na composição nutricional do leite humano. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado entre novembro de 2018 e janeiro de 2020, com 181 doadoras selecionadas em Unidades Terciárias de Saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde de um Posto de Coleta e cinco Bancos de Leite Humano. Foram coletados dados das variáveis maternas e dos recém-nascidos por meio de questionário padronizado. Estar apta para ser doadora em um Banco de Leite Humano e produzir leite maduro foram os critérios de elegibilidade para participar do estudo. As amostras de leite com acidez Dornic acima de 8° D foram excluídas. Os macronutrientes do leite humano, variáveis dependentes (carboidratos, proteínas, lipídeos, energia total) foram analisados pela técnica de espectroscopia de transmissão no infravermelho médio com o Miris Human Milk Analyzer™. Os fatores maternos e perinatais foram as variáveis independentes. Resultados: Mulheres com obesidade pré-gestacional e ganho de peso gestacional acima do recomendado apresentaram menor concentração proteica em relação às eutróficas (mediana=0,8, intervalo interquartil [IQR]: 0,7–0,9 vs. mediana=0,8, IQR: 0,8–1,0) e aquelas com ganho de peso gestacional adequado (mediana=0,8, IQR: 0,7–0,9 vs. mediana=0,9, IQR: 0,8–1,0), respectivamente. Os demais fatores analisados (hábitos maternos, comorbidades, fatores perinatais) não se associaram com a composição nutricional do leite humano. Conclusões: A avaliação dos fatores associados à composição nutricional do leite humano é de extrema importância para auxiliar os cuidados pós-parto. A obesidade pré-gestacional e o ganho de peso gestacional inadequado foram os únicos fatores estatisticamente associados com a composição nutricional do leite humano por terem impactado o seu teor de proteína.

Abstract Objective: To ascertain how screening for preterm birth is performed among obstetricians working in public and private practice in a middle-income country. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 265 obstetrician-gynecologists employed at public and private facilities. An online questionnaire was administered, with items designed to collect data on prematurity screening and prevention practices. Results: The mean age of respondents was 44.5 years; 78.5% were female, and 97.7% had completed a medical residency program. Universal screening (i.e., by ultrasound measurement of cervical length) was carried out by only 11.3% of respondents in public practice; 43% request transvaginal ultrasound if the manual exam is abnormal, and 74.6% request it in pregnant women with risk factors for preterm birth. Conversely, 60.7% of respondents in private practice performed universal screening. This difference in screening practices between public and private practice was highly significant (p < 0.001). Nearly all respondents (90.6%) reported prescribing vaginal progesterone for short cervix. Conclusion: In the setting of this study, universal ultrasound screening to prevent preterm birth was used by just over half of doctors in private practice. In public facilities, screening was even less common. Use of vaginal progesterone in cervical shortening was highly prevalent. There is an unmet need for formal protocols for screening and prevention of preterm birth in middle-income settings.

ABSTRACT In this study, we conducted a survey of researchers studying flies in Brazil, with the aim of acquiring up-to-date information about them, across multiple aspects, i.e., demographics, opinions, needs, and the main challenges they face. We developed an online questionnaire and collected the responses between September and November 2019; 126 responses were received. Most of them held a Ph.D. and identified themselves as males. Nearly all respondents worked exclusively in public institutions, and most were financially reliant on scholarships provided by public agencies. All of them studied at least one of the 81 dipteran families known to occur in Brazil, with most respondents working on families that included taxa of public health importance. Additionally, most work conducted by these researchers was rooted in systematics/taxonomy. A specific portion of the respondents (i.e., students) felt less integrated into the research community and found it challenging to publish high-impact research. However, some concerns were shared across all respondent subgroups, such as the need for increased funding and a more seamless integration within the research community. Academic professionals highlighted limited funding and inadequate infrastructure as barriers to research. Nevertheless, some subgroups expressed concerns about their career prospects. Although there may be limitations in the sampling process underpinning this study, our survey provides valuable insights into the demographic characteristics of Brazilian dipterist community, thus facilitating the development of policy strategies. study Brazil uptodate up date aspects ie i e i.e. demographics opinions needs face 2019 12 received PhD Ph D Ph.D males institutions agencies 8 importance Additionally systematicstaxonomy systematics taxonomy systematics/taxonomy (i.e. students highimpact high impact However Nevertheless prospects strategies i.e 201 1 (i.e 20 2

ABSTRACT Purpose To describe the knowledge of amateur singers who perform in religious services, about vocal health and hygiene, and compare these findings at two different moments. Methods Descriptive, longitudinal research with 100 participants who practice amateur singing in religious services; ages between 18 and 82 years (average 33.72 years), 54 women and 46 men. Participants answered the Initial Questionnaire (Q1), which includes personal data and vocal self-assessment, and the Vocal Health and Hygiene Questionnaire (QSHV), on two occasions with an interval of 20 days and with the questions randomized. The participants were given a feed-back of the QSHV after each application i.e. the correct answers to each item. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results Most singers reported some degree of self-assessed vocal alteration and reported at least one vocal symptom (mainly throat clearing and voice failure). The score was higher in the second application of the QSHV and there was no correlation between the vocal self-assessment and the score obtained in the QSHV. Conclusion Amateur singers of both sexes who perform in religious services demonstrated knowledge about vocal health and hygiene corresponding to that of vocally healthy individuals, above the cutoff point in both applications; however, the majority reported vocal changes and symptoms. There was an increase in knowledge about vocal health and hygiene in the second application, however discreet. The level of knowledge about vocal health and hygiene did not correlate with the degree of vocal alteration. moments Descriptive 10 1 8 average 3372 33 72 33.7 years, , years) 5 4 men Q1, Q1 Q (Q1) selfassessment, selfassessment self assessment, assessment QSHV, (QSHV) 2 randomized feedback feed back ie i e i.e item inferentially selfassessed assessed mainly failure. failure . failure) individuals applications symptoms discreet 337 3 7 33.

ABSTRACT Purpose Prospective memory (PM) questionnaires are frequently used to evaluate perceptions of PM skills in daily life. This study aimed to systematically investigate communication-specific attributes using pre-existing PM self-rating questionnaires to inform clinicians and researchers about the role of PM in cognitive communicative evaluations. Methods PM-related items from three questionnaires (i.e., Prospective Memory Questionnaire, Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory, and Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire) were compiled and embedded in Google Forms and distributed to 70 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) with expertise in Cognitive Communicative Disorders across India. Participants first identified items related to communication, and were then contacted to rate the communication-related PM items using a Likert scale for their degree of appropriateness. Responses from 40 SLPs were obtained and subjected to item-content validity index (i-CVI) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results Of the 114 PM items, 28 received ratings over 50% for their relevance to communication. Of the 28 items, 21 had an i-CVI score greater than 0.8. After the removal of overlapping content, 14 items were finalized and subjected to EFA, which resulted in four factors: PM failure due to loss of communicative content, PM failure due to loss of communicative intent, PM cost due to ongoing interference, and PM failure linked to the priority of communicative intent. Conclusion This study highlights communication-related aspects of PM that can be used as a framework for SLPs to assess and research PM skills.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assessment the risk factors affecting development of hypothyroidism and to examine the selected dietary micronutrient intakes of primary hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and euthyroid individuals comparing the healthy control group, and to evaluate the relationship between dietary micronutrient intakes and serum thyroid hormones. Additionally, this study planned to observe anxiety severities in different hypothyroidism groups. Methods This case-control study was carried out with 120 individuals: 60 in the patient group and 60 in the control group. The patient group was further subdivided into primary hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and euthyroid groups. A questionnaire and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were administered to all participants. 24-hour food consumption records, anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters were taken. Results When serum vitamin D level increased by one unit (ng/mL), risk of disease decreased by 1%; and when age (year) increased by one unit, risk of disease increased by 5.1%. Dietary micronutrient intakes were similar in all groups. There were negative correlations between serum T4 levels and selenium intake in primary hypothyroidism group, and serum TSH levels and copper intake in subclinical hypothyroidism group, and serum TSH levels and iodine intake in control group. Beck Anxiety Inventory scores of patient groups were higher than control group. There was no statistically difference between primary, subclinical and euthyroid hypothyroidism groups in terms of anxiety scores. Conclusion Serum vitamin D level and age affected the risk of hypothyroidism. Micronutrient intake was associated with thyroid parameters. Anxiety was higher in hypothyroid patients, independent of thyroid hormone levels. hormones Additionally casecontrol case 12 6 participants 24hour hour 24 records measurements taken ng/mL, ngmL ng/mL , ng mL (ng/mL) 1% 1 year (year 51 5 5.1% T patients 2 (ng/mL 5.1 5.

Abstract Objective The Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire for Scoliosis (BIDQ-S) for scoliosis derives from the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ) with specific adaptation for scoliosis patients. Despite its significance and applicability, this instrument has never been translated into Brazilian Portuguese. The current study aimed to translate, transculturally adapt, and validate the BIDQ-S into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods BIDQ-S was translated and culturally adapted into Brazilian Portuguese using the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) criteria. The questionnaire validation relied on internal consistency and comparison with the Cobb angle, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22). The Brazilian version (BR-)BIDQ-S validation occurred in a sample of 35 adolescents with scoliosis waiting for specialized treatment. Results Internal consistency of the BR-BIDQ-S was 0.899 according to the Cronbach's index (i.e., virtually perfect). Although BR-BIDQ-S did not correlate with the Cobb angle, it presented correlations with the Physical, Emotional, and Social domains from the PedsQL and the Function/Activity domain from the SRS-22. Conclusion BR-BIDQ-S was reliable in evaluating the body image of adolescents with scoliosis, presenting an internal consistency of 0,899 (virtually perfect). Moreover, similar to the original instrument, it correlated with PedsQL and SRS-22.

Abstract Background The recurrence of weight gain is attributed to the homeostatic regulation of hunger and satiety signals, influenced by metabolic state, nutrient availability, and non-homeostatic mechanisms shaped by reinforced consequences from experiences. In response, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch proposed Intuitive Eating (IE) in 1980, countering restrictive diets. IE, inversely correlated with Body Mass Index (BMI), binge eating, and anxiety/depression symptoms, fosters mind-body-food harmony by recognizing hunger and satiety cues. IE encourages meeting physiological, not emotional, needs, permitting unconditional eating, and relying on internal signals for food decisions. Amidst university students' stress, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding their eating behavior, particularly intuitive eating levels, becomes crucial. Objective This study aimed to assess the IE level of Brazilian students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study, the first to analyze the Intuitive Eating of students in Brazil during the pandemic, was conducted using an online questionnaire. Results The sample comprised 1335 students, most of whom were women (82.17%), with a mean age of 26.12 ± 7.9 years, and a healthy nutritional status (57.58%). The mean IE score was 3.2 ± 0.6. A significant association was found between the confinement situation, the type of housing unit, and the IE subscale-Unconditional Permission to Eat (p = 0.043). However, there was no association between the other subscales and the total IE scale. Regarding self-reported mental and eating disorders, the most frequent were anxiety (21.2%), depression (6.5%), and binge eating disorder (BED) (4.7%). IE was negatively associated with BED (B = – 0.66; p < .001), bulimia nervosa (B = – 0.58; p < .001), body mass index (BMI) (p < .001) and self-reported anxiety (B = – .102; p = 0.16). The male sex showed a higher IE score compared with the female sex (p < .001). Conclusion While no significant association was found between IE and the confinement situation, a significant association was found between housing type and the Unconditional Permission to Eat subscale. state availability nonhomeostatic non experiences response (IE 1980 diets BMI, BMI , anxietydepression symptoms mindbodyfood mind cues physiological emotional needs decisions stress COVID19 COVID 19 COVID-1 pandemic behavior levels crucial crosssectional cross sectional questionnaire 133 82.17%, 8217 82.17% 82 17 (82.17%) 2612 26 12 26.1 79 7 9 7. years 57.58%. 5758 57.58% . 57 58 (57.58%) 32 3 2 3. 06 0 6 0.6 situation unit subscaleUnconditional subscale 0.043. 0043 0.043 043 0.043) However scale selfreported self reported disorders 21.2%, 212 21.2% 21 (21.2%) 6.5%, 65 6.5% 5 (6.5%) (BED 4.7%. 47 4.7% 4 (4.7%) B 0.66 066 66 .001, 001 .001 0.58 058 (BMI .102 102 0.16. 016 0.16 16 0.16) .001. 198 COVID1 1 COVID- 13 821 82.17 8 (82.17% 261 26. 575 57.58 (57.58% 0. 004 0.04 04 21.2 (21.2% 6.5 (6.5% 4.7 (4.7% 00 .00 0.5 05 .10 10 01 0.1 82.1 (82.17 57.5 (57.58 0.0 21.

ORIENTATION: Today, industries and academic institutions across different continents, including those in South Africa, compete for the same talent, which presents the most valuable asset of an organisation. The surge in talent rivalry means that employers need to adopt strategies to distinguish themselves from their rivals. RESEARCH PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model to better understand how talent management (TM) creates value for higher education institutions. MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: Talent management research is primarily built around an exclusive approach to TM, yet how it works in practice and is implemented, conceived and developed in higher education, remains unclear. Hence, this study is needed to understand how integrated TM fosters competitive advantage in higher education institutions. RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: A quantitative research method was, by means of a questionnaire. Primary data were collected from 265 academics across three universities in South Africa. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Analysis of Moment Structures. MAIN FINDINGS: The results revealed that integrated TM practices (i.e. talent attraction, development and retention) positively contributed to sustainable competitive advantage of higher education institutions. PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: The study provides a better understanding of the role of integrated TM in improving competitive advantage. Also, the study will help shape the policy-making process on TM in higher education institutions. CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: This study adds value to TM literature by designing a conceptual model for higher education institutions to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used as part of clinical practice to determine the impact of the condition and treatment interventions on a patient's health and quality of life. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a self-administered diagnostic tool that has been widely adopted for the detection and monitoring of depression. AIM: This analysis reports the change in PHQ-9 scores from admission to discharge in patients admitted for depression to a South African acute psychiatric facility and aims to quantify the treatment effect of the admission using the PHQ-9 as the measurement tool SETTING: South African acute psychiatric facility. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study of all patients admitted to Netcare Akeso acute psychiatric facilities from 01 January 2018 to 31 October 2022. Patients were included if they were ≥ 18 years of age, admitted with a primary International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 code for depression (i.e. F32-F33) and fully completed both an admission and discharge PHQ-9 questionnaire. We excluded facilities focusing only on the treatment of patients with specialised conditions such as addiction or eating disorders. RESULTS: This analysis included 13 308 patients admitted for depression at 10 different facilities. The median PHQ-9 score on admission was 19 (interquartile range [IQR] 14-23) and 5 (IQR 2-11) on discharge, with a median change of -12 (IQR -5 to -18). A minimal clinically important difference was seen in 87.6% patients (n = 10 091/11 515); a treatment effect was seen in 74.5% of patients and a clinically significant improvement was seen in 72.1% of patients. CONCLUSION: With the average patient reporting a four-fold reduction in the severity of their depression scores, PROMs provide a critical patient-centred window into the benefit that an inpatient admission has on those suffering with depression. CONTRIBUTION: These changes are consistent with those seen internationally and provide a baseline for understanding the treatment efficacy of an inpatient admission for the treatment of depression.
