ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the contextual factors associated with the quality of life (QOL) of Brazilian children aged 0–12 years during the strict period of social isolation. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted between July and September 2020 using an online questionnaire on QOL-related family factors and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™). Results were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: The sample had 849 children, mostly from the South Region of Brazil (75%), white (83%), with typical development (79%), sedentary (68%), using screen (85%) for >3 h/day (44%). Their mothers were their main caregivers (90%). The following variables were significantly associated with high scores of QOL: typical health status (OR 2.38; 95%CI 1.60–3.55; screen time ≤2 h/day (OR 1.62; 95%CI 1.17–2.24); social distancing considered as “easy” (OR 1.67; 95%CI 1.20–2.32), and stimulation of the child by the family (OR 1.93; 95%CI 1.08–3.45). Conclusions: This study indicates that the family context can influence children’s QOL, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and home environment reorganization.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a funcionalidade e fatores associados em crianças e adolescentes com osteogênese imperfeita (OI). Métodos: Estudo transversal com 30 crianças e adolescentes com OI. Foram avaliados prontuários médicos, uso de bisfosfonatos, características socioeconômicas, dinamometria de preensão palmar, equilíbrio, hipermobilidade articular, nível de deambulação e escores do Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptative Test (PEDI-CAT). Os dados foram apresentados em média e desvio padrão e comparados por teste t por Mann-Whitney, enquanto os categóricos foram apresentados em frequência e comparados pelo teste exato de Fisher. Análises intragrupos foram realizadas por análise de covariância (ANCOVA) ou Teste de Wilcoxon para postos sinalizados. O teste Tau-b de Kendall foi usado para correlações. Resultados: A idade variou de 6 a 18 anos. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos de acordo com a gravidade da doença. Casos moderados/graves (n=10) apresentaram menor estatura e força muscular comparadas às dos leves (n=20). Fraqueza muscular foi observada em todos os casos de OI quando comparados à população normal. Não houve diferença nos domínios do PEDI-CAT com exceção do domínio mobilidade. Houve correlação entre o número de fraturas, tipo de OI, peso e equilíbrio e o domínio mobilidade; e entre os domínios Atividades Diárias e Mobilidade e Responsabilidade e Social/cognitivo do PEDI-CAT. Conclusões: Nossos achados sugerem que crianças com OI moderada/severa podem atingir o mesmo nível de funcionalidade que crianças com a forma leve. Fraturas podem ter grande influência no nível de funcionalidade e o tratamento deve enfocar a prevenção e a reabilitação desses eventos. Objetivo .

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functioning and associated factors in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 30 children and adolescents with OI. Medical records, use of bisphosphonates, socioeconomic status, handgrip strength, balance, joint hypermobility, ambulatory level, and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory—Computer Adaptative Test (PEDI-CAT) scores were assessed. Data is presented as mean and standard deviation and Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney U test. Categorical data is presented as frequency and analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. Within-group analyses were conducted using ANCOVA or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Correlations used Kendall’s Tau-b test. Results: The participants involved in this study were 6–18 years old. The sample was separated into two groups according to disease severity. The moderate/severe OI group (n=10) presented a lower height and muscular strength than the mild group (n=20). Muscle weakness was observed in all participants with OI when compared with the normal population. No differences were observed between the groups in the PEDI-CAT scores except for the mobility domain. There were correlations between the PEDI-CAT mobility domain and the number of fractures, OI type, weight, and balance; there was also a correlation between the PEDI-CAT daily activities, mobility, responsibility, and social/cognitive domains. Conclusions: The findings suggest that children with moderate/severe forms of OI can achieve the same function levels as children with mild OI. Fractures can have a major influence on the functional level, and treatment should focus on the prevention and rehabilitation of these events when they occur. Objective .

ABSTRACT Introduction: Burnout results from chronic exposure to work-related stress and it is characterized by a reduction in professional efficacy, feelings of lack of energy/exhaustion, and negativity related to work activities. It has a higher incidence in professions with significant interpersonal contact and among caregivers, making doctors a vulnerable population. The Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire is considered the gold standard for measuring this disease. In 2014, quinquennial prevention was described, aiming to prevent harm to patients through strategies that reduce Burnout in doctors. Clinical Case: The case describes a 29-year-old woman, a physician in her final year of Residency in General and Family Medicine, who sought an urgent consultation due to feelings of physical and mental exhaustion, hopelessness, irritability, initial and middle insomnia, for the last three months, and hyperphagia, two months ago. She has requested a sick leave from work because “I can't stand working anymore. I need to sleep for a week”. She identified excessive workload at the Clinic, stemming from the demands of her medical residency, as the main cause. She feels unsupported by her colleagues and Training Supervisor and feels pressured to manage the medical agenda without adequate preparation. She reports occasional errors in prescriptions, leading her to feel the need to repeatedly review records and decisions she has made. She denies any appointment with her designated Work physician ever since she started her internship. Upon physical examination, she appeared slaughtered, with a depressed mood, tearful, restless, and with fleeting eye contact. Applying the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Section A- 34 points- high level; Section B- 28 points- high level; Section C- 25 points- high level. A work leave from work was issued, laboratory studies were requested, and fluoxetine 20 mg and trazodone 50 mg were initiated, along with psychotherapy. So far, the patient has been re-evaluated in three consultations, with organic causes ruled out, and in the last re-evaluation, her scores were: Section A- 20 points- moderate level; Section B- 5 points- low level; Section C- 39 points- moderate level. She reports a decrease in medical errors. She maintained the prescribed medication and psychotherapy. She declined to join a Balint group. A new re-evaluation was scheduled in six months. Discussion/Conclusion: This is a case of a General and Family Medicine Resident Physician, diagnosed with Burnout, who has managed to substantially improve her quality of life and job satisfaction, as well as her personal life, following the implementation of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures, along with workplace adjustments and the setting of boundaries. She has successfully reduced her perception of making medical errors, thereby improving the quality of healthcare provided to the patients. The long journey of recovery from Burnout makes the monitoring of this illness imperative not only by the patients Family Doctor and Psychologist, but also by the Occupational physician, targeting the improvement of the quality of life of the healthcare professionals in their occupational activity. This clinical case’s purpose is to address and raise awareness among professionals to the prevention of Burnout, particularly in Residents, promoting quinquennial prevention. It is important to note that only professionals who are fulfilled in their biopsychosocial sphere can provide quality care and significantly reduce medical errors.

RESUMO Introdução: O Burnout resulta da exposição crónica ao stress laboral e caracteriza-se por redução da eficácia a nível profissional, sentimentos de falta de energia/exaustão e negatividade relacionados com a atividade laboral. Tem maior incidência em profissões de elevado contacto com pessoas e em prestadores de cuidados, tornando os médicos uma população vulnerável. O questionário Maslach Burnout Inventory é considerado gold standard para a medição desta patologia. Em 2014 foi descrita a prevenção quinquenária, que pretende evitar o dano para o paciente, atuando no médico através de estratégias que visem a diminuição do Burnout. Caso Clínico: Descreve-se uma mulher de 29 anos, médica, no último ano da especialização em Medicina Geral e Familiar, que recorreu a consulta aberta por sensação de exaustão física e mental, sentimentos de desesperança, irritabilidade, insónia inicial e intermédia, com três meses de evolução e hiperfagia há dois meses. Solicitou certificado de incapacidade temporária para o trabalho, porque “já não aguento mais trabalhar. Preciso de dormir uma semana”. Aponta como principal etiologia o trabalho excessivo no Centro de Saúde, decorrente da exigência do internato médico. Sente-se pouco apoiada pelos colegas de equipa e orientador de formação e considera-se pressionada a gerir a agenda médica sem ter preparação para tal. Relata erros pontuais na prescrição médica, pelo que sente necessidade de rever várias vezes os registos efetuados e as atitudes tomadas. Nega ter sido convocada para qualquer consulta de Medicina do Trabalho desde que ingressou na especialidade. Ao exame objetivo, apresentava-se cabisbaixa, com humor deprimido, chorosa, inquieta e com contacto ocular fugaz. Aplicando o questionário atrás mencionado: Secção A - 34 pontos - nível elevado; Secção B - 28 pontos - nível elevado; Secção C - 25 pontos - nível elevado. Foi emitido o certificado de incapacidade temporária para o trabalho, solicitado estudo analítico e iniciada fluoxetina 20mg e trazodona 50mg, bem como psicoterapia. Até à data, a doente foi reavaliada em três consultas, foi excluída patologia orgânica e na última reavaliação apresentava os seguintes valores: Secção A- 20 pontos- nível moderado; Secção B- 5 pontos- nível baixo; Secção C- 39 pontos- nível moderado. Refere diminuição dos erros médicos. Manteve a medicação instituída, bem como a psicoterapia. Recusou o grupo Balint. Foi programada nova reavaliação em seis meses. Discussão/Conclusão: Trata-se de uma doente, Médica Interna em Medicina Geral e Familiar com o diagnóstico de Burnout, que conseguiu melhorar substancialmente a sua qualidade de vida e satisfação no trabalho e vida pessoal, após a implementação de medidas farmacológicas e não farmacológicas e também após alterações a nível laboral e imposição de limites. Conseguiu diminuir a perceção de erro médico, melhorando assim os cuidados de saúde prestados aos utentes. O longo percurso de recuperação desta doença torna fulcral o acompanhamento destes utentes pela equipa de Medicina do Trabalho, e não só pelo Médico de Família e Psicólogo, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida e saúde dos profissionais no âmbito da sua atividade laboral. Com este caso clínico pretende-se abordar e sensibilizar os profissionais para a prevenção do Burnout, em particular nos médicos internos, fomentando a prevenção quinquenária. De ressalvar que apenas profissionais realizados na sua esfera biopsicossocial conseguem proporcionar cuidados de qualidade e reduzir de forma importante o erro médico.

ABSTRACT Introduction: the postgraduate educational climate (CE) in the hospital environment can determine the way in which resident physicians (MRs) adapt to their new stage, during which professional burnout syndrome (PAS) is highly likely to occur at some point. Objective: to determine the relationship between the educational climate and professional burnout in physicians in the medical residency programs of the National Hospital 2023-2024. Methodology: cross-sectional observational study of a sample of MR convenience of both sexes from all medical specialties of the National Hospital between November 2023 and January 2024, MR with external rotation and/or vacations were excluded. Sample calculation; 136 MR. An online form from Google was sent to the MR email requesting voluntary participation. The SAP was measured with the standard Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) method with subscales; emotional exhaustion (EA), depersonalization (DESP), personal fulfillment (PR), with PAS with high scores of AE, DESP and low RP. The EC was assessed with the measure of the hospital postgraduate educational environment (PHEEM) with subscales; perception of role autonomy (PAR), perception of teaching (PE), perception of social support (PSS), the higher the score, the better the EC. Demographic and academic variables, MBI and PHEEM scores were collected, and the SAP was considered dependent, as the main result was the predictive relationship of the PHEEM on the SAP. Data were compared with χ², t-test or Mann-Whitney U, ANOVA and linear regression (p-significant value =<0.05). Results: of 233 participants, the mean age was 28.75 (±2.20), 63.94 % (149) women, the general prevalence of PAS; 70.38 % (164/233), PAS in men 75 % (63/84) and women 67.78 % (101/149) p=0.0014, the first 2 years with the highest frequency of PAS; 65 (85.52 %), 59 (86.76 %) respectively p=0.0009, 63 (90 %) p=0.0071 surgical specialties. The subscales of the MBI, the AE; 79.82 % (186) with an average of 35.39 (± 11.61) points. The CE of MRs with SAP; 107.9 (19.6) dots and without PAS; 136.3 (12.1) dots 95 % CI 18.1-25.0 p= 0.0001. The PHEEM predicted the AE with R2=0.619, B= -0.18 (±0.009) p=0.001, and the DESP; R2= 0.385, B= -0.001(0.004) p=0.009, PSS being a significant predictor with inverse correlation in both. Conclusion: there is an inverse relationship between the educational climate and burnout syndrome in the population studied, with a high prevalence of burnout in male residents of surgical specialties, with the social support of the hospital educational environment being a significant predictor for the development of burnout syndrome.

RESUMEN Introducción: el clima educacional (CE) de posgrado en el ambiente hospitalario puede determinar la manera en como los médicos residentes (MR) se adaptan a su nueva etapa, durante el cual el sindrome agotamiento profesional (SAP) es altamente probable de producirse en algún momento. Objetivo: determinar la relación entre el clima educacional y el agotamiento profesional en médicos de los programas de residencias médicas del Hospital Nacional 2023-2024. Metodología: estudio observacional transversal de una muestra por conveniencia de MR de ambos sexos de todas las especialidades médicas del Hospital Nacional entre noviembre 2023 y enero 2024, se excluyeron MR con rotación externa y/o vacaciones. Calculo muestral; 136 MR. Se envío un formulario en línea de Google al correo electrónico del MR solicitando la participación voluntaria. El SAP fue medido con el método estándar Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) con subescalas; agotamiento emocional (AE), despersonalización (DESP), realización personal (RP), existiendo SAP con puntuaciones altas de AE, DESP y bajas de RP. El CE fue valorado con la medida del entorno educativo de posgrado hospitalario (PHEEM) con subescalas; percepción autonomía de roles (PAR), percepción enseñanza (PE), percepción soporte social (PSS), a mayor puntaje mejor CE. Se recopiló variables demográficos, académicos, puntajes del MBI y PHEEM, el SAP fue considerado dependiente, como resultado principal la relación predictiva del PHEEM sobre el SAP. Se compararon datos con χ², prueba t o U de Mann-Whitney, ANOVA y regresión lineal (p-valor significativo =<0,05). Resultados: de 233 participantes, la edad media fue de 28,75 (± 2,20), el 63,94 % (149) mujeres, la prevalencia general del SAP; 70,38 % (164/233), SAP en hombres 75 % (63/84) y mujeres 67,78 % (101/149) p=0,0014, los 2 primeros años con mayor frecuencia de SAP; 65 (85,52 %), 59 (86,76 %) repectivamente p=0,0009, de especialidades quirúrgicas 63 (90 %) p=0,0071. Las subescalas del MBI el AE;79,82 % (186) con un promedio de 35,39 (± 11,61) puntos. El PHEEM de los MR con SAP; 107,9(( 19,6) puntos y sin SAP; 136,3(( 12,1) puntos IC 95 % 18,1-25,0 p= 0,0001. El PHEEM predijo el AE con R2=0,619, PPS; B= -0,18 (±0,009) p=0,001, y la DESP; R2= 0,385, PPS; B= -0,001 (±0,004) p=0,009 siendo PSS predictor significativo con correlación inversa en ambas. Conclusión: existe relación inversa entre el clima educativo y el sindrome de agotamiento profesional en la población estudiada, con alta prevalencia de este en residentes hombres de especialidades quirúrgicas, siendo el soporte social del ambiente educativo hospitalario un predictor significativo para el desarrollo del sindrome de agotamiento profesional.

Abstract: This instrumental design study examines the validity and reliability evidence of the IAMI-R in Peruvian adolescents. A total of 486 fifth-year high school students (44.03 % male and 55.97 % female) from schools in Chiclayo (65.43 %) and Cajamarca (34.57 %), Peru, participated in the study. The participants were aged between 15 to 17 years (M = 16.23; SD = 0.62). The internal structure was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability was assessed through omega and ordinal alpha coefficients. CFA with the WLSMV estimator was applied to test the model of eight correlated factors, revealing adequate fit indices: X²(1052) = 1786.25, p < .001, CFI = .96, TLI = .96, RMSEA (90% CI) = .04 (.035-.041), and SRMR = .05. The reliability indices ranged from .82 to .91. Significant differences were found in the self-efficacy perceptions for logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and spatial intelligences, with males rating themselves as more capable than females. The results and implications of the study are discussed

El síntoma depresivo más frecuentemente descrito fue la fatiga (13%) seguido de cambios en el apetito (84,2%), llanto (81,6%), y tristeza (79%). No se encontró relación estadísticamente significativa entre presencia de síntomas depresivos y características sociodemográficas, el tratamiento y la discapacidad. Conclusiones: el 35% de los encuestados con el test de Beck I obtuvo calificaciones compatibles con depresión, se recomienda incluir manejo especializado en salud mental dentro del abordaje integral del paciente y expaciente con enfermedad de Hansen.

ABSTACT Introduction: Leprosy affects millions of people, impairing both physical and mental health and giving rise to complications such as depressive symptoms that can impact the quality of life. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in an association of patients and former patients with Hansen's disease in a city in the Colombian Caribbean. Materials and methods: A descriptive study with non-probabilistic sampling was conducted among members of an association of patients and former patients with Hansen's disease in a city in the Colombian Caribbean. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory, and the results were compared with sociodemographic and clinical variables through bivariate analysis. Results: Fifty-one individuals participated, with an average age of 52 years (CI 35.7-68.5), and a male predominance (57%). Thirty-nine percent of the population had completed high school, 25% were undergoing treatment at the time of the survey, and 33% had some degree of disability. Twenty-seven percent, 16%, and 2% of the population exhibited mild, moderate, and severe depression, respectively. The most frequently reported depressive symptom was fatigue (13%), followed by changes in appetite (84.2%), crying (81.6%), and sadness (79%). No statistically significant relationship was found between the presence of depressive symptoms and sociodemographic characteristics, treatment, or disability. Conclusions: It is evident that 35% of respondents scored in the range indicative of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory. Specialized mental health management is recommended to be included in the comprehensive care of patients and former patients with Hansen's disease.

Abstract: This study had the general objective of verifying the relationship between burnout syndrome, social skills, coping strategies, and socio-occupational variables in a sample of 166 elementary school teachers from 13 public schools of Minas Gerais, Brazil, aged between 23 and 65 years, 73 % of whom were female. The Burnout Syndrome Inventory (ISB), the Social Skills Inventory 2 (IHS-2), the Coping Strategies Inventory (IEC), and a socio-occupational questionnaire developed especially for this research were used. A negative correlation was obtained between burnout and repertoire of social skills (r = -.273 and p < .001). The coping strategies that positively correlated with social skills were seeking social support, problem solving, and positive reappraisal. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between coping and professional fulfillment, indicating that teachers who adopted coping strategies were more likely to feel professionally satisfied. The burnout predictor variables were age, marital status, family provision, number of children, length of service, ongoing health care and social resourcefulness. The implications of these results were discussed concerning protective actions for the mental health of teachers and the importance of socio-emotional development in schools.

Resumen: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo general verificar la relación entre el síndrome de burnout, las habilidades sociales, el afrontamiento y las variables sociolaborales en una muestra de 166 profesores de educación básica de 13 escuelas públicas del interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, con edades entre 23 y 65 años, el 73 % de los cuales son mujeres. Se utilizó el Inventario de Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), el Inventario de Habilidades Sociales 2 (IHS-2), el Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (IEC) y un cuestionario sociolaboral desarrollado especialmente para esta investigación. Se obtuvo una correlación negativa entre el burnout y el repertorio de habilidades sociales (r = -.273 y p = .001). Las estrategias de afrontamiento que se correlacionaron positivamente con las habilidades sociales fueron: búsqueda de apoyo social, resolución de problemas y reevaluación positiva. Además, hubo una correlación positiva entre el afrontamiento y la realización profesional, lo que indica que los profesores que adoptaron estrategias de afrontamiento tenían más probabilidades de sentirse realizados profesionalmente. Las variables predictoras del agotamiento fueron la edad, el estado civil, la provisión familiar, el número de hijos, el tiempo de servicio, la atención médica continua y la desenvoltura social. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados respecto de las acciones protectoras para la salud mental de los docentes y la relevancia del desarrollo socioemocional en las escuelas.

Resumo: Este estudo teve como objetivo geral verificar a relação entre síndrome de burnout, habilidades sociais, coping e variáveis sócio-ocupacionais em uma amostra de 166 professores do ensino fundamental de 13 escolas públicas do interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, com idades entre 23 e 65 anos, sendo 73 % do sexo feminino. Foram utilizados o Inventário da Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais 2 (IHS-2), o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping (IEC) e um questionário sócio-ocupacional desenvolvido especialmente para esta pesquisa. Obteve-se correlação negativa entre o burnout e o repertório de habilidades sociais (r = -0,273 e p < 0,01). As estratégias de coping que se correlacionaram positivamente com as habilidades sociais foram: busca de suporte social, resolução de problemas e reavaliação positiva. Ademais, houve correlação positiva entre coping e realização profissional, indicando que professores que adotaram estratégias de enfrentamento apresentaram maior tendência a sentirem-se realizados profissionalmente. As variáveis preditoras do burnout foram idade, estado civil, provimento familiar, número de filhos, tempo de serviço, tratamento contínuo de saúde e desenvoltura social. Discutiu-se a implicação desses resultados no tocante às ações protetivas de saúde mental docente e quanto à relevância do desenvolvimento socioemocional nas escolas.

Abstract Introduction: There is a close relationship between mental health and eating styles. Mental health indicators such as anxious and depressive symptomatology have reported direct effects on eating styles that promote excess malnutrition such as emotional or restrictive eating. The aim was to analyze the effect of anxious and depressive symptomatology on eating styles in women and men from northern and central Chile. Method: Nine hundred and ten adults living in northern and central Chile participated in the study. The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) were administered. The analysis of the global model of the relationship between variables was carried out using structural equation modeling. Results: The structural model presented adequate goodness-of-fit indicators, anxious symptomatology had a direct and significant effect on emotional eating, external eating and restrictive eating. On the other hand, depressive symptomatology, did not present significant effects on any eating style. Conclusions: As anxiety levels increase, levels of all eating styles increase. Depression, could interact mediating the relationship by the emotional context that generates the depressive symptomatology.

Resumen Antecedentes: existe una estrecha relación entre salud mental y estilos de alimentación. Indicadores de salud mental como sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva han reportado efectos directos sobre estilos de alimentación que promueven la malnutrición por exceso como la alimentación emocional o restrictiva. Se analizó el efecto de la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva sobre los estilos de alimentación en mujeres y hombres del norte y centro de Chile. Método: participaron 910 adultos residentes en el norte y centro de Chile; se aplicó el Cuestionario Holandés de Conducta Alimentaria (DEBQ), así como el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI) y el Inventario de Depresión de Beck-II (BDI-II). El análisis del modelo global de la relación entre variables se realizó mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: el modelo global presentó adecuados indicadores de bondad de ajuste; la sintomatología ansiosa tuvo un efecto directo y significativo sobre la alimentación emocional, alimentación externa y alimentación restrictiva. Por su parte, la sintomatología depresiva no presentó efectos significativos sobre ningún estilo de alimentación. Conclusiones: a medida que aumentan los niveles de ansiedad, aumentan los niveles de todos los estilos de alimentación. La depresión podría interactuar mediando la relación por el contexto emocional que genera la sintomatología depresiva.

Abstract Introduction: Experiences of racial-ethnic discrimination are social stressors that affect the mental health of those who suffer it. Although it is a current phenomenon, few studies have examined the effects of discrimination on mental health in Peru and Latin America. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of neuroticism and anger in the relationship between experiences of discrimination and dark personality traits in a Peruvian population. Method: A total of 632 participants between 18 and 63 years of age participated (M = 25.03; SD = 8.03). The Experiences of Discrimination Scale (EOD), the items measuring neuroticism from the Big Five Inventory - 10 (BFI-10), the Anger Propensity Scale (APS - G) and the Dirty Dozen Dark Triad (DDDT) were used. An explanatory model was created using structural regression. Results: The model fit was excellent (CFI = .975, TLI = .970, RMSEA = .043 y SRMR = .051), showing that discrimination experiences have a direct effect on neuroticism, which robustly predicts anger proneness and this, in turn, is more predictive of Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy, respectively. Conclusion: Neuroticism and anger are serial mediators in the relationship between discrimination experiences and dark personality traits.

Resumen Introducción: Las experiencias de discriminación étnico-raciales son estresores sociales que afectan la salud mental de quienes las sufren. A pesar de que se trata de un fenómeno vigente, los trabajos que han examinado los efectos de la discriminación en la salud mental en Perú y Latinoamérica son escasos. Por ello, el objetivo principal de este estudio es explorar el rol mediador del neuroticismo y la ira en la relación entre las experiencias de discriminación y los rasgos de personalidad oscuros en población peruana. Método: Se contó con la participación de 632 personas con edades de entre 18 y 63 años (M = 25.03; DE = 8.03). Se utilizaron la Escala de Experiencias de Discriminación (EOD), los ítems que miden neuroticismo del Big Five Inventory - 10 (BFI-10), la Escala de Propensión a la Ira (APS - G) y la Dirty Dozen Dark Triad (DDDT). Mediante regresión estructural se creó un modelo explicativo. Resultados: El ajuste del modelo fue excelente (CFI = .975, TLI = .970, RMSEA = .043 y SRMR = .051) y mostró que las experiencias de discriminación tienen un efecto directo sobre el neuroticismo, el cual predice de manera robusta la propensión a la ira, y esta, a su vez, es predictora, en mayor medida, del maquiavelismo, el narcisismo y la psicopatía, respectivamente. Conclusión: El neuroticismo y la ira son mediadores seriados en la relación entre las experiencias de discriminación y los rasgos oscuros de personalidad.

Resumo: Historicamente, os estudos sobre parentalidade baseavam-se, na maioria, em relatos maternos, gerando incertezas sobre suas conclusões. Invertendo essa lógica, no Brasil, o Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno (inicialmente desenvolvido nos EUA para homens) foi aprimorado e adaptado para mães, culminando no Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno e Materno (IEPM). A validade de conteúdo do IEPM foi verificada, mas sua estrutura interna era desconhecida. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar evidências de validade com base na estrutura interna, estimativas de confiabilidade e invariância dessa estrutura para pais e mães. Para isso, 1244 pais e mães de 22 estados brasileiros (filhos de 2 a 10 anos) responderam ao Questionário Sociodemográfico e ao IEPM. Foram realizadas análises fatoriais exploratória (AFE; n= 621), confirmatória (AFC; n = 623) e confirmatória multigrupo (AFCMG) e verificadas estimativas de confiabilidade. Os resultados da AFE e AFC indicaram a existência de sete fatores, em uma estrutura hierárquica de segunda ordem. Estimativas de confiabilidade variaram de 0,635 ≤ ω ≥ 0,875. Os resultados do AFCMG indicaram a invariância desta estrutura para pais e mães. Além das evidências de validade, esses resultados contribuem para ampliar a compreensão teórica sobre a parentalidade brasileira, possibilitando futuros estudos comparativos. É importante verificar evidências adicionais de validade.

Resumen: Históricamente, los estudios sobre parentalidad se basaban mayoritariamente en informes maternos, lo que genera incertidumbre sobre sus conclusiones. Invirtiendo esta lógica, en Brasil, el Inventory of Father Involvement (creado inicialmente en los Estados Unidos para padres) fue mejorado y adaptado para madres, así se creó el Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno e Materno (IEPM). Se verificó la validez de contenido del IEPM, pero no su estructura interna. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar evidencias de validez basada en su estructura interna, estimaciones de confiabilidad e invariancia de esta estructura para padres y madres. Para ello, 1244 padres y madres de 22 estados brasileños (con niños de 2 a 10 años) respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y el IEPM. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios (AFE; n= 621), confirmatorios (AFC; n= 623) y confirmatorios multigrupo (AFCMG), y se verificaron estimaciones de confiabilidad. Los resultados de la EFA y AFC indicaron la existencia de siete factores en una estructura jerárquica de segundo orden. Las estimaciones de confiabilidad oscilaron entre .635 ≤ ω ≥ .875. Los resultados de la AFCMG indicaron la invariancia da estructura para padres y madres. Además de evidencias de validez, estos resultados contribuyen a ampliar la comprensión teórica de la paternidad brasileña al permitir futuros estudios comparativos. Es importante realizar pruebas adicionales de validez.

Abstract: Historically, studies on parenting were mostly based on maternal reports, generating uncertainties about its conclusions. Inverting this logic, in Brazil, the Inventory of Father Involvement (originally developed in the USA to assess men) was improved and adapted for mothers, generating the Inventory of Father and Mother Involvement (IFMI). The IFMI’s content validity was verified, but its internal structure was still unknown. This study aimed to verify evidence of validity based on its internal structure, reliability estimates and the invariance of this structure for fathers and mothers. For this purpose, 1244 fathers and mothers from 22 Brazilian states (with children aged 2 to 10) answered the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the IFMI. Exploratory (EFA; n= 621), confirmatory (CFA; n= 623) and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) were performed, and reliability estimates were verified. EFA and CFA results indicated the existence of seven factors in a second-order hierarchical structure. Reliability estimates ranged from .635 ≤ ω ≥ .875. MGCFA results indicated the invariance of this structure for fathers and mothers. In addition to the evidence of validity, these results contribute to broadening theoretical understandings about Brazilian parenting, enabling future comparative studies. It is important to further verify additional validity evidence.

Abstract Introduction: The mangrove is one of the most important ecosystems on the planet, due to the ecological role it plays on coastlines, it provides development, protection, and feeding areas for various species. Objective: To determine the diversity and annual fluctuation of the cerambycid community, as well as the vertical distribution of species richness associated with the edge and interior of a mangrove in Tabasco, Mexico. Methods: The sampling was carried out from August 2016 to July 2017. The capture of insects was performed with interception traps baited with ethanol 70 % at 1.5, 6, and 12 m height, on the edge and interior of the mangrove. Results: A total of 382 specimens were collected, belonging to three subfamilies, 25 genera, and 36 species; Laminae was the subfamily most diverse with 24 species, followed by Cerambycinae with 11 species. At the edge of the mangrove 31 species were captured, and 21 in the interior. The 1D index determined that the edge was 2.51 more diverse than the interior, with a similarity of 61 %, sharing 16 species. The fluctuation of the communities on the edge and interior presented remarkable differences during the sampling year. On the edge, the greatest species richness was recorded at 6 m height and in the interior at 1.5 m and 6 m. Conclusions: Studies related to the vertical distribution of this group of insects, together with the increase in collection time and using complementary techniques, could give better results to inventory a larger number of species in the ecosystems.

Resumen Introducción: El manglar es uno de los ecosistemas más importantes del planeta, debido al papel ecológico que desempeña en las costas, ya que es el hábitat, o bien el área de refugio y alimentación para diversas especies. Objetivo: Determinar la diversidad y fluctuación anual de la comunidad de cerambícidos, así como la distribución vertical de la riqueza de especies asociadas al borde e interior de un manglar en Tabasco, México. Métodos: El muestreo se realizó de agosto 2016 a julio 2017. La captura de insectos se realizó con trampas de intercepción cebadas con alcohol etílico al 70 % a 1.5, 6 y 12 m de altura, en el borde e interior del manglar. Resultados: Se recolectaron un total de 382 especímenes de tres subfamilias, pertenecientes a 36 especies de 25 géneros; Laminae fue la subfamilia más diversa con 24 especies, seguida de Cerambycinae con 11. En el borde del manglar se capturaron 31 especies y en el interior 21. El índice 1D, determinó que el borde fue 2.51 más diverso que el interior, con una similitud del 61 %, al compartir 16 especies. La fluctuación de las comunidades en el borde e interior presentó notables diferencias durante el año de muestreo. En el borde, la mayor riqueza de especie se registró a los 6 m de altura y en el interior a 1.5 m y 6 m. Conclusión: Los estudios relacionados con la distribución vertical de este grupo de insectos, aunado al incremento del tiempo de recolecta y utilizando técnicas complementarias, podrían dar mejores resultados para inventariar el mayor número de especies en los ecosistemas.

Abstract Introduction: Research has shown the importance of differentiating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) from subjective complaints of attention difficulties. In both cases, there is a clinical manifestation that differentially affects women and men. This study assessed the potential relationships among Behavioural and Emotional Symptoms, ADHD Diagnosis, Attentional Complaints, and Sex in Young Adults between 18 and 25 years of age. Method: Using a cross-sectional design, we examined the relationships across three groups (diagnosed with ADHD, attentional complaints, and controls) in a sample of 232 participants (Meanage = 20.38 years, SDage = 1.81 years; 52% women). We employed the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale and the Toulouse Pieron Test to classify participants among groups; for measures of behavioural/emotional symptoms using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 - Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), through High-Order and Somatic/Cognitive Scales. Results: Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant relationship between group membership and the MMPI-2-RF variables after controlling for sex (p < 0.01). Post hoc tests indicated group differences across all variables except for Head Pain Complaints. Additionally, comparisons between men and women revealed significant differences in Behavioural and Emotional Dysfunction, and Gastro-Intestinal Complaints. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of making a diagnosis that is not only based on a list of symptoms and signs but also takes into account differences in sex, emotional/behavioural alterations, and associated connections to increased rumination in young adults, which may influence self-assessment bias and contribute to overestimation or underestimation of ADHD symptomatology.

Resumen Introducción: Las investigaciones han demostrado la importancia de diferenciar el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) de las quejas subjetivas de dificultades de atención. En ambos casos existe una manifestación clínica que afecta diferencialmente a mujeres y hombres. Este estudio evaluó las posibles relaciones entre los síntomas conductuales y emocionales, el diagnóstico de TDAH, las quejas atencionales y el sexo en adultos jóvenes de entre 18 y 25 años. Método: Utilizando un diseño transversal, examinamos las relaciones entre tres grupos (diagnosticados con TDAH, quejas atencionales y controles) en una muestra de 232 participantes (Mediaedad = 20.38 años, DEedad = 1.81 años; 52 % mujeres). Empleamos la escala de Autoinforme de TDAH en Adultos y la prueba Toulouse Pieron para clasificar a los participantes entre grupos; para medidas de síntomas conductuales/emocionales utilizamos el inventario multifásico de personalidad de Minnesota-2 - Forma reestructurada (MMPI-2-RF), por medio de las escalas de Alto Orden y las Somáticas/ Cognitivas. Resultados: El análisis multivariado de varianza (Manova) mostró una relación significativa entre el grupo y las variables del MMPI-2-RF después de controlar el sexo (p < 0.01). Las pruebas post hoc indicaron diferencias entre grupos en todas las variables, excepto en quejas de dolor de cabeza. Además, las comparaciones entre hombres y mujeres revelaron diferencias significativas en la disfunción conductual y emocional y en las quejas gastrointestinales. Conclusión: Los hallazgos resaltan la importancia de realizar un diagnóstico que no se base únicamente en una lista de síntomas y signos, sino que también tenga en cuenta las diferencias de sexo, las alteraciones emocionales/conductuales y las conexiones asociadas con una mayor rumiación en adultos jóvenes, lo cual puede influir en el sesgo de autoevaluación y contribuir a una sobreestimación o subestimación de la sintomatología del TDAH.

ABSTRACT This study investigated 27 male adolescents in socio-educational care at the Belford Roxo Intensive Care Center. It is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach and a case study methodological proposal. To obtain data, questionnaires were applied that consisted of obtaining answers about i) sociodemographic data, ii) screening for involvement with smoking, alcohol and other drugs, iii) Beck Depression Inventory and iv) Beck suicidal ideation. The group studied was composed of 16.48 years old as a mean; 92.6% were brown or black; 70.37% had attended between the 5th grade of Elementary School I and the 9th grade of Elementary School II; 44.44% consumed alcoholic beverages daily; 40.74% presented depressive symptoms; 25.92% had a history of suicidal ideation, and 11.11% had already attempted suicide. Those surveyed with substance use problems face a high simultaneous risk of mental health problems, an aggravating factor that can result in a more difficult life situation with diffuse social problems, a precarious health status, and a prediction of general adversity. Thus, the situation of these adolescents, who are a sample of the peripheral underworld of cities, is alarming, indicating the urgency of public health and state actions.

RESUMO Este estudo pesquisou 27 adolescentes do sexo masculino em regime socioeducativo no Centro de Atendimento Intensivo Belford Roxo. É um estudo descritivo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa com proposta metodológica de estudo de caso. Na obtenção de dados, foram aplicados questionários que consistiram em obter respostas sobre i) dados sociodemográficos, ii) triagem do envolvimento com fumo, álcool e outras drogas, iii) Inventário Beck de depressão e iv) ideação suicida de Beck. O grupo pesquisado era composto de 16,48 anos como média de idade; percentual de 92,6% de cor parda ou preta; 70,37% tinham frequentado entre a 5ª série do Ensino Fundamental I e a 9ª série do Ensino Fundamental II; 44,44% faziam uso de bebidas alcoólicas diuturnamente; 40,74% apresentaram sintomas depressivos; 25,92% apresentaram histórico de ideação suicida, e 11,11% já tinham tentado suicídio. Os pesquisados com problemas de uso de substâncias psicoativas enfrentam um alto risco simultâneo de saúde mental, agravante que pode incorrer em situação de vida mais difícil com problemas sociais difusos, um quadro de saúde precário, prognosticando adversidades gerais. Dessa forma, é alarmante a situação desses adolescentes, que é uma amostra do submundo periférico das cidades, denotando a urgência de ações de saúde pública e do Estado.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the fear, anxiety, and knowledge level in women who underwent gynecological surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 188 women who underwent a gynecologic surgical operation in Muğla, Turkey. Data were collected by using demographics and obstetric detail form, questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward COVID-19, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I (STAI-I). RESULTS: Most of the women perceived their surgical process as very urgent. Women felt fear mostly for being infected with the virus, and they were afraid of transmitting COVID-19 to another one. The COVID-19 knowledge scores of women who had undergone cancer surgery were statistically significantly higher than others (p=0.017). The STAI-I scores of women increased as their COVID-19 knowledge scores increased (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that women were afraid of COVID-19 infection during gynecological operation and due to hospitalization, sociodemographic characteristics affected the knowledge levels about COVID-19 infection, and the anxiety levels of the women. Planning appropriate interventions to decrease the fear and anxiety of women who undergo gynecological surgery during the pandemic is important to ensure that women adhere to their treatment and follow-up in the postoperative period.
