Abstract Introduction: Positive mental health involves a mix of personal and psychosocial resources, as well as attitudes, affections, and positive behaviors that allow the person to face the challenges that arise in life, at a personal, family, social, and school level. Objective: Determine the association between personal factors and positive mental health in high school students during COVID-19. Methodology: Descriptive correlational study. Intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The sample consisted of 210 students of both sexes, ages 15 to 19, enrolled in cycle 2022-1 of the morning shift. Adolescents with visual conditions were excluded. A personal factors study and Positive Mental Health Scale were applied, with prior assent and informed consent. The statistical analysis was descriptive and inferential Results: The students were 64.8% female, 76.1% were under 17 years of age, 53.3% were in the sixth semester, 42% presented COVID-19 and 45% reported losses due to COVID-19. Global positive mental health was low in 50.5% of students. There was a significant positive statistical association in overall positive mental health with sex p=0.01, and a negative one with suffering from a mental illness p=0.01 and having family members who suffered from a mental illness p=0.05. Conclusion: Mental health of young people was not very positive. It needs to be studied to generate nursing interventions for promotion and prevention of school health to result in effective stress management of young people who are in high school when considering the family, society, and the educational field.

Abstract: Meditation is an effective tool to promote psychological well-being and manage stress and psychological distress associated with highly demanding academic, clinical and healthcare situations in academic health contexts. This paper evaluates the impact of meditation-based interventions on the psychological well-being of health occupations students. Controlled clinical trials were searched in the Biblioteca virtual de Salud (BVS), Cochrane Library, Trip Database, Sage Pub, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, Medline (via PubMed), Europe PMC, ScienceDirect, APA PsycInfo, and ERIC. 651 studies were identified. Thirteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. It was found that non-clinical meditation practice, mainly through mindfulness-based interventions, carried out in academic contexts has a positive effect on the psychological well-being and socio-emotional competence of the student body. Long-term benefits depend on students practicing meditation regularly. These findings have implications for health education. They suggest integrating meditation as a preventive approach to improve the psychological well-being of students.

Abstract Introduction: First responders in emergencies are exposed to psychosocial factors that can increase the risk of stress, due, among other variables, to the conditions of the functions performed, which can undermine the health status of this population. Objective: Determine the symptoms that reveal the presence of stress reactions in first responders to emergencies and their association with age and seniority in the institution. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out that included first responders to emergencies from a fire department in Colombia, 215 participants. An association was made between the level of stress and the variables age and seniority. Results: A high and very high stress level of 50.3% was found. Physiological and social behavior symptoms presented the highest levels. Older workers had greater stress. There was no association with length of service. Conclusion: More than half of the population has high and very high stress levels. The oldest emergency first responders were those with the highest risk levels of stress.

Resumen Introducción: Los trabajadores de primera respuesta a emergencias se encuentra expuestos a factores psicosociales que pueden incrementar el riesgo de estrés, debido, entre otras variables, a las condiciones propias de las funciones ejercidas lo cual puede menoscabar el estado de salud de esta población. Objetivo: Determinar los síntomas reveladores de la presencia de reacciones de estrés en personal de primera respuesta a emergencias y su asociación con la edad y la antigüedad en la institución. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal que incluyó el personal de primera respuesta a emergencias de una institución de bomberos en Colombia, 215 participantes. Se realizó asociación entre el nivel de estrés y las variables edad y antigüedad. Resultados: Se encontró un nivel de estrés alto y muy alto del 50.3%. Los síntomas fisiológicos y de comportamiento social presentaron los niveles más altos. Los trabajadores con mayor edad presentaron mayor estrés. No se presentó asociación con la antigüedad en el cargo. Conclusión: Más de la mitad de la población tiene niveles de estrés alto y muy alto. Los trabajadores de primera respuesta a emergencias con mayor edad fueron los que presentaron niveles de riesgo más alto de estrés.

Abstract The purpose of the paper is to examine the dimension of persistence as an analytical category for collective action. For this, the results of a doctoral thesis are presented. There, the processes of political subjectivation of young people who organize and support -for more than fifteen years- popular mobilizations against police violence in Córdoba, Argentina, were studied. The collective action considered was the so-called Marcha de la Gorra, on which an ethnographic work was carried out with a psychosocial perspective. In addition to the preparation of field notes, in-depth interviews and short interviews, called ongoing conversations, were conducted. More than sixty young activists participated in these instances. From the production of data and analysis in a sustained manner, the dimension of the persistence of the March was gaining analytical significance. After eight years of duration, the longitudinal study allowed to consider the qualitative value of the persistence of collective action and its implication on the subjectivity of young people. Likewise, it was shown as a key dimension in the establishment of connections between the action in the public space and their daily territories.

Resumen El propósito del trabajo es examinar la dimensión de la persistencia como categoría analítica de la acción colectiva. Para ello, se presentan los resultados de una tesis de doctorado en la que se abordaron los procesos de subjetivación política de jóvenes que organizan y sostienen -desde hace más de quince años- movilizaciones populares frente a la violencia policial en Córdoba, Argentina. La acción colectiva estudiada fue la llamada Marcha de la Gorra, sobre la que se realizó un trabajo etnográfico con una perspectiva psicosocial. Además de la elaboración de notas de campo, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad y entrevistas breves, denominadas conversaciones en marcha. En estas instancias participaron más de sesenta jóvenes activistas. A partir de la producción de datos y análisis de manera sostenida, la dimensión de la persistencia de la Marcha fue cobrando significatividad analítica. Tras ocho años de duración, el estudio longitudinal permitió considerar el valor cualitativo de la persistencia de la acción colectiva y su implicancia en la subjetividad de las y los jóvenes. Asimismo, se mostró como una dimensión clave en el establecimiento de conexiones entre la acción en el espacio público y sus territorios cotidianos.

Abstract Through the Official Mexican Standard NOM-035-STPS-2018, organizations have the possibility of identifying, analyzing, and preventing psychosocial risk factors in the workplace, as well as promoting adequate organizational environments. Its compliance is mandatory for most of the organizations located in this nation. The main objective of the study is to validate the instrument of psychosocial risk factors included in the NOM-035-STPS-2018 standard through an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. In this investigation, an analysis of the validity of the questionnaire proposed in the reference guide III of the aforementioned Standard was carried out based on the criteria established in the same document. For this, said instrument was applied to 250 workers of a maquiladora company located in the State of Guanajuato. It was found that, although the questionnaire is valid, it can be enriched based on the experience of the same organizations and that it should be adapted to extraordinary situations as a pandemic.

Resumen Por medio de la Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-035-STPS-2018, cuyo cumplimento es obligatorio para la mayoría las organizaciones, se tiene la posibilidad de identificar, analizar y prevenir los factores de riesgo psicosociales en los centros de trabajo, así como propiciar entornos organizacionales adecuados. El objetivo principal de este estudio radica en validar el instrumento de factores de riesgo psicosociales incluido en la norma a través de un análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. En esta investigación se efectúo un análisis de la validez del cuestionario propuesto en la guía de referencia III de la citada norma con base en los criterios establecidos en el mismo documento. Para ello, se aplicó el instrumento a 250 trabajadores de una empresa maquiladora situada en el Estado de Guanajuato. Se halló que, aunque el cuestionario es válido, es susceptible de ser enriquecido con base en la experiencia de las mismas organizaciones y que debería adaptarse a situaciones extraordinarias como una pandemia.

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment initiation are essential in the management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), also known as ankylosing spondylitis, remembering that underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis of axSpA are common. These South African guidelines offer screening tools and details of useful investigations, including imaging. Care of the axSpA patient requires a multidisciplinary holistic approach emphasising lifestyle interventions, particularly exercise, smoking cessation and psychosocial support. The ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score is recommended as a measure of disease activity, and a stepwise algorithm for therapy is provided. Screening for comorbidities and vaccination is advised.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction in ankylosing spondylitis patients and healthy controls, examining the relationship between temporomandibular dysfunction and disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis patients, as well as associations with psychosocial factors. METHODS: The study included 113 ankylosing spondylitis patients and 110 healthy individuals aged 18–75. Temporomandibular dysfunction presence was evaluated using Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Axis I. Disease activity was assessed with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index. RESULTS: Among healthy individuals, 60.9% did not receive a temporomandibular dysfunction diagnosis, while 39.1% received at least one diagnosis. In contrast, 69.9% of the 113 ankylosing spondylitis patients received at least one temporomandibular dysfunction diagnosis, and only 30.1% were not included in any diagnosis group (p<0.001). Joint (p=0.001) and pain disorders (p=0.008) were significantly more common in the ankylosing spondylitis group than in the healthy controls. Significant associations emerged between Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (p<0.001) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (p=0.005) scores and pain disorders. CONCLUSION: Temporomandibular dysfunction is more prevalent in ankylosing spondylitis patients than in healthy individuals, linked to increased joint issues and pain associated with disease activity.

At South African universities, the role of academic advisors is not easily defined and there is limited literature about the attributes and characteristics required of those who occupy advising positions in the country. This article proposes a model for identifying academic advisors for South African higher education contexts. The authors adopt a phenomenological approach to construct this model. Based on existing literature and data collected from advising interactions with students, the authors share and explain their model for identifying suitable candidates for academic advisor roles in South African higher education contexts. The model consists of seven dimensions: cultural quotient, data analytics, personal/ emotional support, psychosocial and socioeconomic support, scholarly activities and networking, skills formation and support, and teaching and learning. The authors conclude by emphasising the importance of academic advising for South Africa, before making recommendations for using the model to identify suitable candidates for advisor roles.

Frente a um cenário de aumento dos adoecimentos mentais relacionados ao trabalho, torna-se cada vez mais popular a expressão “riscos psicossociais no trabalho” para se referir a aspectos no trabalho que devem ser observados na preservação da saúde mental dos trabalhadores. Institutos de pesquisa públicos governamentais estabelecem definições sobre o que são estes riscos psicossociais e seus impactos na saúde e se tornam referência para a atuação em seus países. No entanto, constata-se nelas uma mistura entre os fatores causadores de violências, e os danos e agravos à saúde propriamente ditos. A partir dos estudos sobre saúde mental e trabalho presentes na literatura científica recente, destacamos na discussão do que são os riscos psicossociais, duas questões centrais não podem faltar: a organização do trabalho e seu impacto na subjetividade do trabalhador e as relações sociais que estruturam a sociedade e também estão presentes no cotidiano do trabalho, marcando e diferenciando socialmente trabalhadores e trabalhadoras, influenciando a distribuição de poder e de melhores e piores condições de trabalho conforme raça, classe social, gênero, capacidades, entre outras formas de separação e identificação de coletivos humanos.

We are facing a crisis of an increasing work-related mental illnesses, which makes the expression “psychosocial risks at work” increasingly popular to refer to aspects at work that must be observed to preserve workers' mental health. Public government research institutes establish definitions of what these psychosocial risks are and their impacts on health and become references for action in their countries. However, there is a mix between the factors that cause violence and the damage and health problems themselves. Based on studies on mental health and work present in recent scientific literature, we highlight two central issues cannot be missed: the organization of work and its impact on the worker's subjectivity and the social relations that structure the society marking and socially differentiating male and female workers, influencing the distribution of power and better and worse working conditions according to race, social class, gender, capabilities, among other forms of separation and identification of collectives humans.

Ante un escenario de aumento de las enfermedades mentales relacionadas con el trabajo, la expresión “riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo” se está volviendo cada vez más popular para referirse a aspectos en el trabajo que deben ser observados para preservar la salud mental de los trabajadores. Los institutos de investigación de los gobiernos públicos establecen definiciones acerca de cuáles son estos riesgos psicosociales y sus impactos en la salud y se convierten en referentes para la acción en sus países. Sin embargo, existe una mezcla entre los factores que causan la violencia y los daños y problemas de salud mismos. Con base en estudios sobre salud mental y trabajo presentes en la literatura científica reciente, resaltamos en la discusión acerca de qué son los riesgos psicosociales, no pueden faltar dos temas centrales: la organización del trabajo y su impacto en la subjetividad del trabajador y que las relaciones sociales que estructuran la sociedad también están presentes en el trabajo cotidiano, marcando y diferenciando socialmente a trabajadores y trabajadoras, influyendo en la distribución del poder y en las mejores y peores condiciones laborales según raza, clase social, género, capacidades, entre otras formas de separación e identificación de colectivos humanos.

Abstract The use of drawings made by the researcher-designer in social psychology is unusual as a production of knowledge and even as a dissemination of results. Although, we find traces of the use of drawing in experimental studies of classical social psychology. In such studies the drawings appear to be far removed from the performative roots of social science or contemporary trends in arts-based research. It was limited to illustrations of procedures, marking the spatial arrangement between experimenter and research participants. In this article, I aim to defend the use of the drawing carried out by the researcher-designer as one of the strategies for visibility and rigor in the production process and analysis of information in research in constructionist/post-constructionist social psychology. I used information produced in an investigation into pre-7,0s. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, drawings were created throughout the information production and analysis process. In this article, I describe the production of meanings, reflectivity and defamiliarization that my meeting with one of the interviewees who used PrEP and became infected with HIV generated, fictitious name Plutón. I detail the stages of elaboration of the “Sexualidad Atenta” design: the present absence of the invisible and PrEP, 2022, and the theoretical-methodological repercussions resulting from questioning whether it was a “negative example”. I conclude that drawing helped me understand that it was not a negative example in the psychosocial reading proposed by the adopted theoretical framework.

Resumo O uso do desenho feito pela pesquisadora-desenhista na psicologia social é incomum como produção do conhecimento e mesmo como divulgação de resultados. Embora, encontremos rastros do uso de desenho em estudos experimentais da psicologia social clássica. Em tais estudos os desenhos parecem estar bem distantes das raízes performáticas da ciência social ou das tendências contemporâneas das pesquisas baseadas em artes. Ele limitava-se a ilustrações de procedimentos, marcação da disposição espacial entre experimentador e participantes da investigação. No presente artigo tenho como objetivo defender o uso do desenho realizado pela pesquisadora-desenhista como uma das estratégias de visibilidade e rigor do processo de produção e de análises das informações na pesquisa em psicologia social construcionista/pós-construcionista. Utilizei informações produzidas em uma investigação sobre profilaxia pré-exposição para infeção do vírus na imunodeficiência adquirida - HIV (PrEP) e os sentidos produzidos nas relações afetivo-sexuais de homens gays, em Barcelona-Espanha. A PrEP é 99% eficaz para o controle de infecção pelo HIV. Entrevistei 10 usuários de PrEP e fiz 11 desenhos. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas, os desenhos foram elaborados ao longo do processo de produção e análise das informações. Neste artigo, descrevo a produção de sentidos, refletividade e desfamiliarização que o meu encontro com um dos entrevistados que usava PrEP e se infectou pelo HIV gerou, de nome fictício Plutón. Detalho as etapas de elaboração do desenho “Sexualidad Atenta”: a ausência presente do invisível e PrEP, 2022, e as repercussões teórico-metodológicas decorrentes de questionar se se tratava de um “exemplo negativo”. Concluo que desenhar me auxiliou na compreensão de que não se tratava de exemplo negativo na leitura psicossocial proposta pelo referencial teórico adotado.

Abstract This work seeks to contribute to the development of pedagogical strategies for dialogue with university students, in a national context marked by increasing levels of social violence, stemming from the “war on drugs” in Mexico. By revisiting concepts such as psychosocial trauma and education in emergency contexts, it highlights the need to open curricular spaces in university classrooms to reflect on the personal and collective impact arising from exposure to violence in its various manifestations. The pedagogical proposal is rooted in critical pedagogy for peace and incorporates elements of collective narrative practices, restorative circles, and mediation. Pedagogical tools are offered to enable faculty to conduct dialogue sessions with their students in a respectful and secure educational environment, aimed at strengthening social bonds and reflecting on the spaces and actions that, in their own lives, offer hope as well as possible resources for individual and/ or collective action. Listening, narrating, and acting are the three intertwined phases of this proposal. The outlined methodologies represent an effort from the educational space to advance the reconstruction of the social fabric in societies affected by widespread phenomena of violence.

Resumen Este trabajo busca contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias pedagógicas para el diálogo con estudiantes universitarios, en un contexto nacional marcado por crecientes niveles de violencia social derivados de la “guerra contra el narcotráfico” en México. Al retomar conceptos como trauma psicosocial y educación en contextos de emergencia, destaca la necesidad de abrir espacios curriculares para reflexionar sobre el impacto personal y colectivo de la violencia. La propuesta se inscribe en la pedagogía crítica para la paz e integra prácticas narrativas, círculos restaurativos y mediación. Herramientas pedagógicas permiten al profesorado conducir sesiones de diálogo en un entorno seguro, orientadas a fortalecer vínculos sociales y explorar recursos para la acción individual y colectiva. Escuchar, narrar y actuar son las fases de esta aproximación, que representa un esfuerzo desde la educación para reconstruir el tejido social en sociedades afectadas por violencia generalizada.

Abstract This work tries to support that art, particularly dramatic art, has a specificity with politics through its own processes, which are directly related to subjective, creative, individual and social events. This positioning, achieved in postmodernity, places art in general in a condition that generates changes in psycho-social processes. We propose that, among the political nature of art, the need to continuously maintain the meaning of life of individuals who have chosen to dedicate their activities to performing art is identified, as well as the precision of permanently reaffirming themselves as artists. To achieve this, the claim is externalized - both to higher education institutions and to business sectors - for greater scenic spaces and job opportunities for their economic stability. This struggle, on the part of the graduates of public universities, can only be achieved through the formation of groups, a necessary condition to become visible and achieve their objectives.

Resumen Este trabajo trata de sustentar que el arte, en particular el arte dramático, guarda una especificidad con la política a través de sus propios procesos, los cuales se relacionan directamente con acontecimientos subjetivos, creativos, individuales y sociales. Este posicionamiento, conquistado en la posmodernidad, coloca al arte en general en una condición generadora de cambios en los procesos psicosociales. Planteamos que, entre la politicidad del arte, se identifica la necesidad de mantener de forma continua el sentido de vida de los individuos, quienes han optado por dedicar sus actividades al arte escénico, así como la precisión de reafirmarse permanentemente como artistas. Para lograrlo, se exterioriza el reclamo -tanto a instituciones de educación superior como a los sectores empresariales- por mayores espacios escénicos y oportunidades laborales para su estabilidad económica. Esta lucha, por parte de los egresados de las universidades públicas, solo se puede lograr a través de la formación de grupos, condición necesaria para hacerse visibles y alcanzar sus objetivos.

The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted schooling, not only in South Africa, but globally. In the study reported on here we investigated the perceived psychosocial effects of the pandemic on the teaching realities of Foundation Phase (FP) educators in rural quintiles 1 to 3 schools in the North West province, South Africa. A qualitative, case study design was adopted with 10 educators purposively selected from 3 schools to participate through telephonic interviews. The findings reveal that as educators contended with the new rotational method of school attendance, challenges of limited teaching time, curriculum coverage, learner absenteeism and the lack of parental support that negatively affected their overall state of psychosocial well-being. This state of well-being was characterised by high stress levels, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety and a lack of accomplishment for educators. Despite these experiences, some educators demonstrated agency and resilience in ensuring that they carried out their core responsibility of teaching, but perceived themselves as requiring psychosocial support. The conclusion reached is that the available support structures provided by the Department of Basic Education appeared to be under-utilised and there was a critical need to introduce and advocate for mental health interventions to support educators emotionally.
