RESUMEN Este estudio examina cómo cambian las emociones de futuros maestros hacia los contenidos científicos (seres vivos y ecosistemas) al participar en una intervención indagatoria en la construcción de hoteles en un Parque Natural de España. La muestra incluyó alumnos del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Huelva matriculados en una asignatura de didáctica de las ciencias. Se utilizó un cuestionario tipo Likert para medir la intensidad de catorce emociones en tres momentos: antes, durante y después de la intervención. También se realizaron entrevistas, observaciones y narrativas para identificar las causas del cambio. Los resultados indicaron un aumento significativo en emociones positivas, especialmente la satisfacción, y una disminución en emociones negativas, como el aburrimiento. Este cambio se atribuye a la naturaleza biológica de los temas y su integración en el Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido. Se recomienda incorporar la educación emocional en la formación inicial de maestros para promover la autorregulación y el aprendizaje emocional.

RESUMO Este estudo examina como mudam as emoções de futuros professores em relação aos conteúdos científicos (seres vivos e ecossistemas) ao participar de uma intervenção investigativa na construção de hotéis em um Parque Natural da Espanha. A amostra incluiu alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Primária da Universidade de Huelva, inscritos em uma disciplina de didática das ciências. Utilizou-se um questionário tipo Likert para medir a intensidade de quatorze emoções em três momentos: antes, durante e depois da intervenção. Também foram realizadas entrevistas, observações e narrativas para identificar as causas da mudança. Os resultados indicaram um aumento significativo nas emoções positivas, especialmente a satisfação, e uma diminuição nas emoções negativas, como o tédio. Essa mudança é atribuída à natureza biológica dos temas e sua integração no Conhecimento Didático do Conteúdo. Recomenda-se incorporar a educação emocional na formação inicial de professores para promover a autorregulação e a aprendizagem emocional.

ABSTRACT This study examines how the emotions of future teachers towards scientific content (living beings and ecosystems) change when participating in an inquiry-based intervention focused on building hotels in a Natural Park in Spain. The sample included students from the Primary Education Teaching Degree at the University of Huelva, participating in a science didactics course. A Likert-type questionnaire was used to measure the intensity of fourteen emotions at three moments: before, during, and after the intervention. Additionally, interviews, observations, and narratives were conducted to identify the causes that justify the change. The results show that positive emotions recorded the highest intensities at all three moments. There was an increase in all positive emotions, with satisfaction being particularly significant. All negative emotions decreased, especially boredom. Moreover, the change is attributed to the biological nature of the topics and their integration into Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Initial training should incorporate emotional education into a professional knowledge model that includes self-regulation strategies to facilitate emotional maturity and learning.

Abstract: This essay problematizes some reflections on the negative affective machinery proposed by Sianne Ngai and Theodor Adorno in the formulation of an aesthetic politics of negative emotions as a critical response to cultural emotional scripts. Against the backdrop of the aestheticization of capitalism and contemporary aesthetic politics, negative emotions emerge as a fertile approach to understanding power dynamics in contemporary society, as well as to questioning traditional forms of aesthetic and political analysis. Ultimately, it is suggested that the aesthetic politics of negative emotions represent a pathway to challenging certain figuration structures and a potential route for a materialist analysis of emotions.

Resumen: Este ensayo problematiza algunas reflexiones de la maquinaria afectiva negativa de Sianne Ngai y Theodor W. Adorno en el planteamiento de una política estética de las emociones negativas como respuesta crítica a los guiones culturales emotivos. Como telón de fondo partimos de la estetización del capitalismo y la política estética contemporánea. Las emociones negativas se convierten en una aproximación fértil para comprender las dinámicas de poder en la sociedad contemporánea, así como para cuestionar las formas tradicionales de análisis estético y político. En última instancia, se sugiere que la política estética de las emociones negativas representa una vía para desafiar ciertas estructuras de figuración y una posible ruta de análisis materialista de las emociones.

Abstract: Chile has witnessed various mobilizations and social protests, ranging from disruptive repertoires to transgressive and violent actions. Although understanding the motivations behind protests has been central in sociological, political science, and social psychological studies, there has been a lack of specific research on the justification of the use of violent tactics in protests in Chile, particularly regarding a specific group that was mentioned, especially during the social upheaval: the frontline protesters. This research sought to explore the relationships between perceived effectiveness of violent actions, positive group emotions towards the frontline protester group, and identification with this group. The ultimate goal was to assess the levels of justification attributed by the Chilean population to the use of violent tactics in protests. A non-probabilistic survey with 2,533 cases was used, and structural equation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship of the variables. The results highlight a positive and significant effect of perceived effectiveness and positive group emotions, mediated by group identification, on the justification of violence in protests in Chile. In summary, as the perception of efficacy of violent actions increases and positive emotions towards frontline protesters grow, group identification intensifies, which in turn leads to greater justification of the use of violent tactics in protests in Chile.

Resumen: Chile ha sido testigo de diferentes movilizaciones y protesta sociales, que abarcan desde repertorios disruptivos hasta acciones transgresivas y violentas. Aunque la comprensión de las motivaciones detrás de las protestas ha sido central en estudios sociológicos, politológicos y psicológicos sociales, hasta ahora, hay una falta de investigación específica sobre la justificación del uso de tácticas violentas en las protestas en Chile y también de un grupo en particular que fue mencionado, sobre todo en el estallido social: los manifestantes de primera línea. Esta investigación buscó explorar las relaciones entre la eficacia percibida de las acciones violentas, las emociones grupales positivas hacia el grupo manifestante de primera línea y la identificación con dicho grupo. El objetivo final fue evaluar los niveles de justificación atribuidos por la población chilena al uso de tácticas violentas en protestas. Se utilizó una encuesta no probabilística con 2,533 casos y se realizó un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, para evaluar la relación de las variables. Los resultados destacan un efecto positivo y significativo de la eficacia percibida y las emociones grupales positivas, mediadas por la identificación grupal, en la justificación de la violencia en las protestas en Chile. En resumen, a medida que la percepción de eficacia de las acciones violentas aumenta y las emociones positivas hacia los manifestantes de primera línea crecen, la identificación grupal se intensifica, lo que a su vez conduce a una mayor justificación del uso de tácticas violentas en la protesta en Chile.

ORIENTATION: Transforming public service delivery is crucial for the South African government. Emotional labour (EL), managing emotions during client interactions, is essential in service centres RESEARCH PURPOSE: This study examined the relationship between EL, burnout and work engagement (WE) amongst service centre employees in a South African government organisation MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: South African government organisations, as sole service providers, require employees to deliver 'service with a smile'. This increases mental workload and job stressors, leading to negative responses among service centre employees RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: Cross-sectional, correlational and nonexperimental quantitative research design was used. The sample consisted of service centre employees in a government organisation MAIN FINDINGS: The main findings indicated a positive correlation between EL and burnout, a negative correlation between burnout and work engagement and a negative correlation between EL and work engagement. These findings imply that higher EL leads to increased burnout, and reduces work engagement levels PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: Training on emotional regulation techniques could assist employees with effective emotional management, thereby reducing the negative impact of surface acting on mental well-being. Additionally, it is recommended that the organisation should focus on person-environment fit and personality traits during recruitment to minimise emotional dissonance and burnout amongst employees CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: This study is the first of its kind in the South African government organisation and provides insight into the relationship between EL, burnout and work engagement of client service employees

This study explores the dynamics of emotional expression of freshmen students at a public university in Indonesia, focussing on the role of gratitude in helping them overcome challenges and maintain academic vigour. Using qualitative methods with open-ended questionnaires and in-depth interviews, this study involved 20 freshmen from one public university. The results showed that the majority of students expressed gratitude to God as the main expression, while a minority also valued the role of social support and personal achievement. The findings also revealed that despite uncertainties, fears and disappointments, gratitude remains a fundamental and culminating emotion. Gratitude not only helps students overcome challenges but also enhances their resilience and motivation. Spiritual Meaning Construction Theory serves as an analytical tool, highlighting that spiritual experiences and expressions of gratitude are strongly influenced by an individual's social and cultural context. The theory emphasises that the experience of religion or spirituality has no universal truth, but rather varies according to each individual's interpretative framework. The findings suggest that the expression of gratitude in freshmen not only reflects universally inculcated spiritual beliefs but is also a result of the meaning-making processes by individuals within their social and cultural context. Implications for higher education institutions include the importance of developing orientation, counselling and academic support programmes that support students' expression of gratitude and resilience. Programmes that promote resilience and gratitude can help students overcome challenges and stay motivated throughout their academic journey. CONTRIBUTION: This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of emotions experienced by freshmen as well as the important role gratitude plays in helping them overcome challenges and maintain enthusiasm in pursuing their academic goals

BACKGROUND: The increase of adolescent substance use disorders (SUDs) around the world has a lot of negative effects on the parents and frequently degrades their quality of life. Substance use disorder is a critical issue recognised as a chronic, complex health and social condition. Parents of adolescents recovering from SUD may suffer significantly as a result of the wide range of negative emotions that come with having adolescents recovering from SUD. From the extant literature, there is little evidence of the strategies used to address the support needs of parents who carry the burden of adolescent SUD care. AIM: The authors focused on exploring the support needs of parents living with adolescents recovering from SUD. SETTING: The study was conducted in Tshwane, where they struggling with adolescent SUD issues, making it challenging to foster stable communities and social cohesion. Data were collected at the three in-patient treatment centres. METHODS: Qualitative reseach was used to understand the phenomenon using ecological systems theory. The researchers conducted face to face interviews with parents, employing semi-structured method through purposive sampling. RESULTS: The findings highlighted the following themes: The findings highlighted the following them: experiences of parenting an adolescent recovering from SUD, the support needed for parents and the desired services to help them cope. CONCLUSION: Parents expressed feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope with adolescents recovering from SUD. CONTRIBUTION: The study benefits the social work profession in the field of substance dependency by finding ways to support parents of adolescents recovering from SUD.

Resumo O estudo objetivou compreender os elementos que atravessam a comunicação de más notícias no contexto da atuação médica em um hospital de emergência brasileiro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, embasada na antropologia médica. A coleta de dados ocorreu em nove meses de observação participante e entrevistas com 43 médicos. A análise êmica foi guiada pelo modelo dos signos, significados e ações. Da análise dos dados emergiram duas categorias: os gargalos na comunicação de más notícias relativos à interação com as próprias emoções e com as do familiar; o insuficiente preparo acadêmico na abordagem da morte e da impossibilidade de cura, com reflexos na prática profissional. As dificuldades em comunicar más notícias na emergência persistem, a lacuna na formação repercute na prática profissional e os profissionais sentem-se despreparados. As dificuldades não são apenas técnicas, didáticas ou teóricas. As comunicações de más notícias também são atravessadas por um conhecimento tácito, vivencial, relacional, emocional, sociocultural, humano, ético e reflexivo.

Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender los elementos que permean la comunicación de malas noticias en el contexto del trabajo médico en un hospital de emergencia brasileño. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, basada en la antropología médica. La recopilación de datos se llevó a cabo durante nueve meses de observación participante y entrevistas con 43 médicos. El análisis émico se guió por el modelo de signos, significados y acciones. Del análisis de datos surgieron dos categorías: obstáculos en la comunicación de malas noticias relacionadas con la interacción con las propias emociones y las de los familiares; insuficiente preparación académica ante el acercamiento a la muerte y la imposibilidad de curación, con consecuencias en el ejercicio profesional. Persisten las dificultades para comunicar malas noticias en situaciones de emergencia, la brecha de formación repercute en la práctica profesional y los profesionales se sienten desprevenidos. Las dificultades no son sólo técnicas, didácticas o teóricas. Las comunicaciones de malas noticias también están impregnadas de conocimientos tácitos, experienciales, relacionales, emocionales, socioculturales, humanos, éticos y reflexivos.

Abstract The scope of this study was to understand the elements involved in the communication of bad news in the context of medical practice in a Brazilian emergency hospital. It consisted of qualitative research, based on medical anthropology. Data collection was gathered over nine months of participant observation and interviews with 43 physicians. The emic analysis was based on the model of signs, meanings and actions. Two categories emerged from the analysis of the data: bottlenecks in communicating bad news relating to interaction one’s own emotions and those of the family member; insufficient academic preparation in addressing death and the impossibility of a cure, with repercussions on professional practice. The difficulties in communicating bad news in the emergency hospital persist and the omission in training has repercussions on professional practice, and the professionals continue to feel ill-prepared. The difficulties are not only technical, didactic or theoretical. Communicating bad news is also permeated by tacit, experiential, relational, emotional, socio-cultural, human, ethical and reflective knowledge.

Abstract This study analyzed dental caries-related Facebook posts in Brazilian Portuguese to identify misinformation and predict user interaction factors. A sample of 500 posts (between August 2016 and August 2021), was obtained by CrowdTangle. Two independent and calibrated investigators (intraclass correlation coefficient varying from 0.80 to 0.98) characterized the posts based on their time of publication, author’s profile, sentiment, aim of content, motivation, and facticity. Most posts (90.2%) originated from Brazil, and they were predominantly shared by business profiles (94.2%). Approximately 67.2% of these posts focused on preventive dental issues, driven by noncommercial interests in 88.8% of cases. Misinformation was present in 39.6% of the posts, particularly those with a positive sentiment and commercial motivation. Business profiles and positive sentiment were identified as predictive factors for higher post engagement. These findings highlight a significant proportion of dental caries-related posts containing misinformation, especially when associated with positive emotions and commercial motivation.

Resumen Marco contextual: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido consecuencias negativas para la salud mental de las embarazadas, las parturientas y las mujeres que han dado a luz recientemente. Objetivo: Conocer la percepción del personal de enfermería obstétrica sobre los sentimientos de las parturientas durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, cualitativo, con 22 enfermeras obstétricas del estado de Río de Janeiro (Brasil). Los datos se recogieron de mayo a julio de 2021, mediante entrevistas individuales, y se sometieron a análisis temático de contenido. Resultados: El miedo, la ansiedad, la aprensión, la angustia y el temor se asociaban a las preocupaciones por la nueva enfermedad, las incertidumbres de dar a luz en el hospital y la falta de información durante los cuidados prenatales. Las restricciones a la presencia de acompañantes y a las visitas provocaban un sentimiento de abandono y frustración, que se suma al sufrimiento de las parturientas. Conclusión: La pandemia acentuó las vulnerabilidades emocionales, interfirió en el ejercicio de la ciudadanía y en la producción de subjetividades en la vivencia del parto, lo que resalta la relevancia de los cuidados de las enfermeras obstétricas, que valoran los aspectos emocionales de las parturientas.

Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the mental health of pregnant, parturient, and puerperal women. Objective: To explore nurse-midwives’ perceptions of parturient women’s emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: A descriptive and qualitative study was conducted with 22 nurse-midwives from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Data were collected from May to July 2021 through individual interviews and subjected to thematic content analysis. Results: Emotions such as fear, anxiety, apprehension, anguish, and worry were associated with concerns about the new disease, the uncertainties of giving birth in a hospital setting, and the lack of information during prenatal care. Also, the restrictions on birth companions and visits led parturient women to feel abandoned and frustrated, increasing their distress. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic increased parturient women’s emotional vulnerability and compromised their civil rights and personal experience of childbirth. This situation has underscored the importance of nurse-midwives’ care as it considers and values the emotions of parturient women.

In hierdie artikel word queerlesing gebruik om die vroeë twintigste-eeuse Afrikaanse spookverhaal "Die bouval op Wilgerdal" deur CJ Langenhoven te ontleed. Die studie benader queerness as 'n ontwrigtende politiek wat samelewingsnorme uitdaag, veral in die konteks van literatuur. Queerlesing word gebruik as 'n metode wat verborge betekenisse in tekste onthul, veral dié wat in stryd is met normatiewe interpretasies. Queerlesing word met Gordoniaanse hauntologie, die unheimliche en affekteorie in verband gebring. Die artikel illustreer die affektiewe rol van die plaas in die Afrikaanse letterkunde en demonstreer hoe die plaasruimte historiese lae, identiteit en affek verteenwoordig. Daar word aangevoer dat Langenhoven se verhaal die konvensionele uitbeelding van die plaas ondermyn deur dit 'n unheimliche ruimte te maak, wat sodoende kritiek lewer op die sentraliteit van die plaas in prosesse van Afrikaneridentiteitsvorming. Aan die hand van die queerlesing van die verhaal word aangevoer dat die ware spokery van die Wilgerdalplaas die ontwrigting van die Van Graanfamiliebloedlyn en die verlies van hul verbintenis met die grond is. Sodoende destabiliseer die verhaal die konvensionele patrone van Afrikaanse literatuur oor plase. Uiteindelik ontbloot die verhaal die unheimliche aard van die plaasruimte oor die algemeen en die Afrikaner se onbestendige verhouding daarmee deur middel van die skakel tussen bonatuurlike bedreiging en die plaasruimte sowel as die verqueering van familiale waardes in die besonder. Die narratief spoor die Afrikanerleser aan om van aangesig tot aangesig te kom met die spoke wat Afrikanerhuise bewoon, en spreek moontlik tot die Afrikaner se vrese oor die voortbestaan van die Afrikanerfamilie en grondbesit, vrese wat tot vandag toe voortduur.

This article analyses an early twentieth-century Afrikaans ghost story, "Die bouval op Wilgerdal" by CJ Langenhoven (1972, originally published in 1924) by means of a queer reading and it places specific focus on the affective role of space in the story. It is a story within a story that is presented as a first-person retelling of a tale about the haunted, ruined farm of the Van Graan family. Affect theory and Gordonian hauntology are used as tools to underpin the queer reading of the story that, it is argued, contribute to its queering. The article approaches queerness as a radical politics that disrupts social norms and reaches beyond queerness as an umbrella term for the LGBTQIAP+ community. The article illustrates how queer reading is an approach to text analysis that focuses on hegemonic literary history to queer the literary canon and undermine the hegemony of (hetero)normativity. Queer reading specifically pays attention to the tension between the visible and the invisible in texts in order to bring out hidden meanings that run counter to normative readings of the text. Productive links between queer reading, Gordonian hauntology and the uncanny are illuminated by illustrating how the relationship between the visible and the invisible is explored. For Gordon, ghosts and haunting inform how systemic structures that are invisible or seemingly no longer there, make their impact felt. The analysis of haunting can therefore lead to a more complex understanding of the moving parts and generative structures of historically embedded social formations. A key part of Gordon's theory is how the uncanny is a haunting experience where the familiar, which has been suppressed, returns in the form of a disturbing phantom. Importantly, this article highlights the parallels between queerness and the uncanny. Because of the links between queer reading and affect as well as Gordon's emphasis on the affective, a discussion on affect theory is presented to direct attention to how emotions circulate between bodies, objects, and spaces in the text. The discussion of the text sheds light on the affective role of the farm in the Afrikaans literary tradition. The argument is made that the space of the farm does not figure as a mere backdrop against which Afrikaans stories play out, but that it can be considered a palimpsest through which the various layers of history, identity and affect can be read. To illustrate this, a brief overview of the context from which the farm novel emerged is given to highlight how it responded to widespread urbanisation by glorifying the rural values of the past. The article describes how ownership of the land, and the farmer's ties to the land through his labour and bloodline were regarded as key parts of Afrikaner identity by the Afrikaner nuclear family depicted in early twentieth-century Afrikaans farm narratives. It is suggested that one of the ways in which CJ Langenhoven's "Die bouval op Wilgerdal" queers the characteristic features of the farm in Afrikaans literature is by making the space of the story, the farm, an uncanny space. In this way, the story undermines and criticises the values that are often associated with the farm and questions its centrality in the formation of an Afrikaner identity. To elucidate this subversion and questioning the affective landscape of the narrator in "Die bouval op Wilgerdal" is analysed to show how CJ Langenhoven uses the setting to evoke an uncanny affective environment by drawing the narrator affectively into the anticipation of threat through the sights and sounds of the farm. The haunting of the farm is located in its setting, rather than from the outside suggesting that the story regards the threat that haunts the farm as internal and supernatural. This is particularly evident from how Langenhoven represents the haunting of the Wilgerdal farm in the ruined Afrikaner home and reveals that the true haunting is located in the ruin of the Van Graan family lineage and the subsequent loss of their bloodline's ties to the land. This is especially evident from how Langenhoven makes the Afrikaner house a haunted house and thus reveals that the ghostliness of Wilgerdal originates in the heart of the Afrikaner family. This disruption occurs due to Frans Rysselaar's occupation of Petrus 's body, leaving Petrus disembodied and searching for justice on the farm. The conventional patterns of Afrikaans literature about the farm, where the benevolent patriarch rules over the farm and ensures the succession of his bloodline, are therefore queered. Following from this, the article suggests that by depicting the threat to the farm as a supernatural threat linked closely to the setting of the story, the farm and the Afrikaner family home, Langenhoven's text may have been attempting to queer the familial values of Afrikaner society that were valorised in Afrikaans literature about farms at the time. Finally, it is argued that through this queering the text uncovers and/or reflects the uncanny nature ofthe farm and the Afrikaner's tenuous relationship with it. A queer reading of "Die bouval op Wilgerdal" implores the Afrikaner to live with and provide a hospitable memory for the ghosts that populate Afrikaner homes. The article concludes by suggesting that this story may have been speaking to that which haunted Langenhoven and Afrikaner society at the time and that these same fears around the survival of the Afrikaner family and the Afrikaner's ownership of the land still persist.

Resumo: Introdução: O ser humano que adoece, por vezes, necessita ser hospitalizado para restabelecer sua homeostase. Esse processo o torna vulnerável, pois ele assume o “estado de paciente”, o que também afeta os aspectos psicoafetivos e pode fazer com que se sinta como um objeto devido ao tratamento por parte dos profissionais de saúde, que, em algumas ocasiões, é pouco empático. Isso gera emoções negativas, que afetam a saúde e prolongam a recuperação, o que, por sua vez, eleva o custo associado aos dias de hospitalização. Objetivo: Identificar fatores de risco que vulneram a dignidade humana de pacientes hospitalizados. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, quantitativo. Foram identificados fatores de risco percebidos pelos pacientes por meio do Questionário de Percepção de Dignidade do Paciente Hospitalizado (CuPDPH) e do diagnóstico de enfermagem “Risco de comprometimento da dignidade humana 00174” da NANDA-I. Resultados: Da amostra de 60 pacientes (16 homens e 44 mulheres), o item com maior pontuação foi “me chamaram pelo meu nome” (M = 4,73; DP = 0,84) e o menor foi “às vezes me senti como um objeto” (M = 1,75; DP = 1,29). Além disso, o fator de risco “compreensão inadequada das informações de saúde” foi o mais presente (65 %) e “valores incongruentes com as normas culturais” o menos presente (1,7 %). Conclusão: Os fatores de risco mais percebidos pelos pacientes na unidade de saúde estavam relacionados à sua intimidade, integridade, compreensão das informações e privacidade, sendo, portanto, importante estudar essa variável e intervir

Abstract: Introduction: The human being who gets sick, sometimes needs to be hospitalized to establish his homeostasis. This process makes him/her vulnerable, as he/she assumes the “patient status”, which also affects psycho-affective aspects and can make him/her feel like an object due to the treatment of health professionals, which is sometimes not very empathetic. This produces negative emotions that generate health conditions and prolong recovery, which in turn increases the cost associated with days of hospitalization. Objective: To identify risk factors that violate the human dignity of hospitalized patients. Methodology: Descriptive, quantitative study. Risk factors perceived by patients were identified through the Hospitalized Patient Dignity Perception Questionnaire and the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis “Risk of compromise of human dignity 00174”. Results: Of the sample of 60 patients (16 men and 44 women), the item with the highest score was “I have been called by name” (M = 4.73; SD = 0.84) and the lowest, “I have sometimes felt like an object” (M = 1.75; SD = 1.29). Likewise, the risk factor “inadequate understanding of health information” was the most present (65 %) and “values incongruent with cultural norms” the least present (1.7 %). Conclusion: The risk factors most perceived by patients in the health unit were related to their intimacy, integrity, understanding of information and privacy, so it is important to study this variable and intervene in it.

Resumen: Introducción: El ser humano que enferma, a veces necesita ser hospitalizado para establecer su homeostasis. Este proceso lo vuelve vulnerable, ya que asume el “estatus de paciente”, que afecta también aspectos psico-afectivos y puede hacerlo sentir como un objeto debido al trato de los profesionales de salud que, en ocasiones, es poco empático. Esto produce emociones negativas que generan afecciones para la salud y prolongan la recuperación, lo que a su vez eleva el costo asociado a días de hospitalización. Objetivo: Identificar factores de riesgos que vulneren la dignidad humana de pacientes hospitalizados. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo. Se identifican factores de riesgo percibidos por pacientes a través del Cuestionario de Percepción de Dignidad de Paciente Hospitalizado (CuPDPH) y del diagnóstico enfermero “Riesgo de compromiso de la dignidad humana 00174” de la NANDA-I. Resultados: De la muestra de 60 pacientes (16 hombres y 44 mujeres), el ítem con mayor puntuación fue “me han llamado por mi nombre” (M = 4.73; DE = 0.84) y el menor, “en ocasiones me he sentido como un objeto” (M = 1.75; DE = 1.29). Asimismo, el factor de riesgo “comprensión inadecuada de la información de salud” fue el más presente (65 %) y “valores incongruentes con las normas culturales” el menos presente (1.7 %). Conclusión: Los factores de riesgo más percibidos por los pacientes en la unidad de salud fueron relacionados con su intimidad, integridad, comprensión de información y privacidad, por lo que es importante estudiar esta variable e intervenirla

Resumen Objetivo: caracterizar sociodemográficamente pacientes que padecen trastornos del estado de ánimo en Institución Prestadora de Servicios (IPS) de salud mental en Montería, departamento de Córdoba - Colombia, correlacionando este diagnóstico con variables de interés. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo-longitudinal, que correlacionó variables sociodemográficas con trastornos del estado de ánimo en 729 pacientes hospitalizados en una IPS, procedentes de municipios del departamento de Córdoba, en el período 2012- 2021-I. Resultados: hombres con edad promedio de 23 años presentaron mayor frecuencia de trastornos del estado de ánimo n=689 que mujeres n= 40; en su mayoría procedentes de municipios como Montería, Puerto Libertador, Valencia, Tierralta y Canalete; siendo Montería el municipio con mayor población y menor prevalencia; factores como lugar de procedencia, falta de apoyo familiar y estrés fueron quienes incidieron en recaídas, registrándose disminución en hospitalización de estos pacientes durante la pandemia COVID-19. Conclusión: existe correlación entre variables sociodemográficas como lugar de procedencia del departamento de Córdoba, falta de apoyo familiar y estrés como determinantes para la ocurrencia del diagnóstico de trastornos del estado de ánimo, en pacientes que proceden de municipios caracterizados por niveles de violencia alto y medio, baja cobertura educativa y pobreza multifuncional en población vulnerable.

ABSTRACT Objective : To sociodemographically characterize patients with Mood Disorders in a Mental Health Institution in Montería, Córdoba - Colombia, and correlate this diagnosis with variables of interest. Materials and Methods: This descriptive, retrospective-longitudinal study correlated sociodemographic variables with Mood Disorders in 729 hospitalized patients in an Institution of Mental Health, originating from municipalities in the department of Córdoba, during the period 2012-2021. Results: Men with an average age of 23 years presented a higher frequency of Mood Disorders (n=689) compared to women (n=40). The majority of patients originated from municipalities such as Montería, Puerto Libertador, Valencia, Tierralta, and Canalete. Montería, being the municipality with the largest population, showed a lower prevalence. Factors such as place of origin, lack of family support, and stress influenced relapses, with a decrease in hospitalizations of these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: There is a correlation between sociodemographic variables such as the place of origin in the department of Córdoba, lack of family support, and stress as determinants for the occurrence of Mood Disorders diagnosis in patients from municipalities characterized by high and medium levels of violence, low educational coverage, and multifunctional poverty in vulnerable populations.

Resumen Introducción/objetivo: En este estudio transversal se investigaron las conexiones entre los indicadores de felicidad subjetiva, esperanza y resiliencia en 591 paraguayos adultos (edad promedio 37.7 años; DE = 11.35) en el período pospandemia del COVID-19 utilizando análisis de redes por primera vez. Método: Los indicadores de felicidad subjetiva, esperanza y resiliencia se evaluaron utilizando la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva, la Escala de Esperanza del Adulto y la Escala de Resiliencia de Connor-Davidson de 10 ítems, respectivamente. Resultados: Los resultados indicaron que “Disfrutar la vida a pesar de todo”, “Perseguir metas” y “Afrontar el estrés” fueron los indicadores más centrales de la red de resiliencia, esperanza y felicidad subjetiva. Si bien se observaron relaciones condicionales más fuertes entre indicadores de la misma variable de red, también se observaron posibles indicadores puente que podrían vincular la resiliencia, la esperanza y la felicidad subjetiva, como “Soy una persona fuerte”, “Disfruta la vida a pesar de todo”, “Persiguiendo metas” y “He tenido éxito en la vida”. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que las intervenciones oportunas y multinivel dirigidas a indicadores centrales y puente pueden ayudar a promover emociones positivas que impacten la salud mental.

Abstract Introduction/objective: In this cross-sectional study, the connections between indicators of subjective happiness, hope, and resilience were investigated in 591 adult Paraguayans (average age 37.7 years; SD = 11.35) during the COVID-19 post-pandemic period, using network analysis for the first time. Method: The indicators of subjective happiness, hope, and resilience were assessed using the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Adult Hope Scale, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, respectively. Result: The results indicated that “Enjoy life in spite of it all,” “Pursuing goals,” and “Coping with stress” were the most central indicators of the resilience, hope, and subjective happiness network. While stronger conditional relationships were observed between indicators of the same network variable, potential bridge indicators were also noted that could link resilience, hope, and subjective happiness, such as “I am a strong person,” “Enjoy life in spite of it all,” “Pursuing goals,” and “I have been successful in life.” Conclusions: The results suggest that timely and multilevel interventions targeted at central and bridge indicators can help promote positive emotions that impact mental health.

Resumen Introducción: Las competencias socioemocionales en la comunicación cara a cara son herramientas esenciales para el ajuste personal y social desde temprana edad. La comunicación en línea ha adquirido igual importancia, especialmente durante la adolescencia. Si bien se reconoce que sus características requieren habilidades específicas, hay escasez de estudios que analicen la relación existente entre las habilidades socioemocionales generalmente adquiridas y aquellas necesarias para la comunicación en línea. Por tanto, esta investigación tiene el objetivo de analizar cómo las habilidades socioemocionales fuera de línea predicen las competencias en línea entre chicas y chicos de manera diferenciada. Método: Este estudio incluyó a 478 estudiantes de educación secundaria con edades entre los 10 y 14 años. Este es un estudio transversal que utilizó el Path Analysis diferenciado por sexo, con muestreo intencional y no probabilístico. Para evaluar las competencias socioemocionales, se utilizó el instrumento ESCQ-21 para las competencias socioemocionales generales el cuestionario e-COM para cuantificar las competencias socioemocionales en línea. Resultados: El modelo explicativo indica que las competencias socioemocionales se transfieren parcialmente al entorno en línea en ambos sexos, especialmente la Percepción y comprensión emocional. Además, se sugiere que el E-autocontrol de la impulsividad y la E-autonomía emocional requieren un desarrollo específico en ese entorno. Conclusiones: Parece razonable incorporar y mejorar las experiencias en línea fomentando el desarrollo de competencias socioemocionales para este contexto. Se examinan las repercusiones para el ámbito educativo.

Abstract Introduction: Socio-emotional competencies in face-to-face communication are an essential tool for personal and social adjustment from an early age. Online communication has become equally important, especially in adolescence. It is known that its characteristics require specific skills, but there is a lack of studies that analyse the relationship that exists between generally acquired socio-emotional skills and those necessary for online communication. Hence, this research is focused on analysing how offline socio-emotional skills predict these online competencies in girls and boys in a differentiated way. Method: This study included 478 Secondary Education students between 10 and 14 years of age. This is a cross-sectional study that used Path Analysis differentiated by sex, with intentional and non-probabilistic sampling. To assess socio-emotional competencies, we used the ESCQ-21 instrument for generally assessed socio-emotional competencies and the e-COM questionnaire to quantify online socio-emotional competencies. Results: The explanatory model indicates that socio-emotional competencies are partially transferred to the online environment in both sexes, especially Perception and comprehension. Furthermore, it is suggested that E-self-control of impulsiveness and E-emotional autonomy require specific development in that environment. Conclusions: It seems reasonable to include online experiences that encourage development in online spaces. The repercussions for the educational field are analysed.
