Prototipo de innovación tecnológica para crear una aplicación móvil conformada por una comunidad de profesionales en psicología y sus diferentes ramas con usuarios que requieran de un servicio, asesoría y consultas preventivas

51 páginasThis project aims to design a prototype of technological innovation to create a mobile application, which serves as a platform to communicate to professionals of the different specialties offered by psychology with people who require this service. The application will allow you to interact with users who take the service in different ways to perform consultations and treatments. When implementing this prototype it is sought that the user experience is friendly and intuitive, so the application will be leveraged in the use of technologies such as natural language processing (PLN), Artificial intelligence (Al), machine learning, Big data, the use of the internet as a means of transmission, and the internet of things (loT), facilitating contact with professionals quickly and quickly. Preventive consultations, counseling and coaching will be offered, among other services focused on mental health, reducing intermediation costs for those involved, achieving immediacy in access to the service and confidentiality. In this prototyping the step-by-step interaction is presented by contacting a professional who delivers answers to questions via chat as an added value, using tools such as video calling, which allows connection from anywhere in the city and receiving home visits.En este proyecto se pretende diseñar un prototipo de innovación tecnológica para crear una aplicación móvil, que sirva como plataforma para comunicar a profesionales de las distintas especialidades que ofrece la psicología con personas que requieran este servicio.

El presente estudio abre futuras líneas de investigación en el ámbito de la psicología positiva en el deporte. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la trayectoria del técnico de deporte adaptado y se profundizó en conocer su nivel de Engagement y las tres dimensiones que conforman este constructo. Posteriormente se realizó un análisis comparativo con técnicos dedeporte general. En el estudio participaron 45 técnicos de deporte adaptado y 45 técnicos de deporte general, seleccionados de forma no probabilística e intencional. Para la medición del Engagement se utilizó el cuestionario Engagement: Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli y Bakker, 2003); y para profundizar en el perfil del técnico, un breve cuestionario sobre latrayectoria profesional de los técnicos de deporte, a partir del modelo de Pérez-Ramírez (2002b). Los resultados muestran que los participantes presentan altos niveles de Engagement y se identifican elementos comunes entre los técnicos de deporte adaptado y el resto de técnicos. Más de la mitad del grupo estudiado han sido deportistas de competición, no se dedican exclusivamente a entrenar y presentan un per#l más polideportivo

Riesgo de padecer enfermedades médicas asociadas a factores psicológicos en los cuidadores de pacientes diagnosticados con una enfermedad de Parkinson.

La enfermedad de Parkinson es una patología crónica y degenerativa, que no sólo afecta a la persona enferma, sino que también afecta la salud de los cuidadores principales ya que con el tiempo ellos deberán ir asumiendo cada vez más responsabilidades en el acompañamiento. En estos últimos suelen aparecer malestares psicológicos tales como tristeza y depresión, fatiga y falta de energía, problemas de sueño, insatisfacción ante la vida y malestar social, los cuales, a largo plazo pueden transformarse en manifestaciones físicas de otras enfermedades como fallas cardiacas, fibromialgia, cefaleas, hipertensión arterial, entre otros.

Psychometric characteristics of the Spanish version of instruments to measure neck pain disability

[EN] Background. The NDI, COM and NPQ are evaluation instruments for disability due to NP. There was no Spanish version of NDI or COM for which psychometric characteristics were known. The objectives of this study were to translate and culturally adapt the Spanish version of the Neck Disability Index Questionnaire (NDI), and the Core Outcome Measure (COM), to validate its use in Spanish speaking patients with non-specific neck pain (NP), and to compare their psychometric characteristics with those of the Spanish version of the Northwick Pain Questionnaire (NPQ). Methods. Translation/re-translation of the English versions of the NDI and the COM was done blindly and independently by a multidisciplinary team. The study was done in 9 primary care Centers and 12 specialty services from 9 regions in Spain, with 221 acute, subacute and chronic patients who visited their physician for NP: 54 in the pilot phase and 167 in the validation phase. Neck pain (VAS), referred pain (VAS), disability (NDI, COM and NPQ), catastrophizing (CSQ) and quality of life (SF-12) were measured on their first visit and 14 days later. Patients' self-assessment was used as the external criterion for pain and disability. In the pilot phase, patients' understanding of each item in the NDI and COM was assessed, and on day 1 test-retest reliability was estimated by giving a second NDI and COM in which the name of the questionnaires and the order of the items had been changed. Results. Comprehensibility of NDI and COM were good. Minutes needed to fill out the questionnaires [median, (P25, P75)]: NDI. 4 (2.2, 10.0), COM: 2.1 (1.0, 4.9). Reliability: [ICC, (95%CI)]: NDI: 0.88 (0.80, 0.93). COM: 0.85 (0.75,0.91). Sensitivity to change: Effect size for patients having worsened, not changed and improved between days 1 and 15, according to the external criterion for disability: NDI: -0.24, 0.15, 0.66; NPQ: -0.14, 0.06, 0.67; COM: 0.05, 0.19, 0.92. Validity: Results of NDI, NPQ and COM were consistent with the external criterion for disability, whereas only those from NDI were consistent with the one for pain. Correlations with VAS, CSQ and SF-12 were similar for NDI and NPQ (absolute values between 0.36 and 0.50 on day 1, between 0.38 and 0.70 on day 15), and slightly lower for COM (between 0.36 and 0.48 on day 1, and between 0.33 and 0.61 on day 15). Correlation between NDI and NPQ: r = 0.84 on day 1, r = 0.91 on day 15. Correlation between COM and NPQ: r = 0.63 on day 1, r = 0.71 on day 15. Conclusion. Although most psychometric characteristics of NDI, NPQ and COM are similar, those from the latter one are worse and its use may lead to patients' evolution seeming more positive than it actually is. NDI seems to be the best instrument for measuring NP-related disability, since its results are the most consistent with patient's assessment of their own clinical status and evolution. It takes two more minutes to answer the NDI than to answer the COM, but it can be reliably filled out by the patient without assistanceS

Common variants in Alzheimer’s disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores

We first perform a large genetic association study by merging all available case-control datasets and by-proxy study results (discovery n = 409,435 and validation size n = 58,190). Here, we add six variants associated with Alzheimer's disease risk (near APP, CHRNE, PRKD3/NDUFAF7, PLCG2 and two exonic variants in the SHARPIN gene). Assessment of the polygenic risk score and stratifying by APOE reveal a 4 to 5.5 years difference in median age at onset of Alzheimer's disease patients in APOE ɛ4 carriers. Because of this study, the underlying mechanisms of APP can be studied to refine the amyloid cascade and the polygenic risk score provides a tool to select individuals at high risk of Alzheimer's disease

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/'proxy' AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOE ε4 allele

Fortalecimiento del proceso de investigación con el apoyo de un ambiente virtual de aprendizaje

El propósito de este trabajo fue ofrecer un acompañamiento a un grupo piloto a través de un ambiente virtual de aprendizaje (AVA), utilizando la plataforma Moodle (Module Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment; Entorno Modular de Aprendizaje Dinámico Orientado a Objetos), que es una plataforma libre que ayuda a crear comunidades de aprendizaje en línea, su diseño se basó en las ideas del constructivismo en pedagogía, el cual señala que el conocimiento se construye en la mente del estudiante en cambio de ser transmitido de libros o enseñanzas, además se fortalece con el aprendizaje colaborativo. Trabajar como docentes desde este punto de vista, centrando el proceso en el estudiante, con el empleo de un AVA, ayuda a construir conocimiento con base en sus habilidades y conocimientos previos y propios, permite además la interrelación con los pares y con el docente a través de las herramientas propias de la plataforma moodle, (chats, foros, aula) y otros complementarios como chat libre de Messenger y/o Skype, correos, etc., hecho que se evidenció con la encuesta de cierre que se efectuó al grupo piloto y a un grupo control
