Immunitat de grup : els adults joves, fora del ramat?

Un estudi troba que la confiança en actors clau en la gestió de crisis sanitàries, les actituds, la informació i les creences conspiratives eren claus per predir si els joves adults rebutjaven vacunar-se contra el virus SARS-CoV-2. Per tant, en cas d'una possible nova crisi sanitària, serà cabdal una adequada gestió de la comunicació per part dels actors implicats.Un estudio halla que la confianza en actores clave en la gestión de crisis sanitarias, las actitudes, la información y las creencias conspirativas eran claves para predecir si los jóvenes adultos rechazaban vacunarse contra el virus SARS-CoV-2. Por tanto, ante una posible nueva crisis sanitaria, será primordial una adecuada gestión de la comunicación por parte de los actores implicados.Study finds trust in key actors in health crisis management, attitudes, information, and conspiratorial beliefs were key to predicting whether young adults refused to be vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Therefore, in the face of a possible new health crisis, proper communication management by the actors involved will be absolutely essential

Telephone-Delivered Interventions for Suicide Prevention in Schizophrenia and Related Disorders : A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: Suicide is a health problem among patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Telehealth technology has become an emerging intervention that may offer opportunities to reach this at-risk group. However, to consider the implementation of telehealth systems in the prevention of suicidal behaviors in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, a review of the evidence is required. The present aim was to explore the effectiveness of telephone-based suicide prevention programs among patients with schizophrenia and related disorders. METHODS: A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases following PRISMA guidelines. Two reviewers performed the selection, data extraction and methodological quality assessment. A total of 352 articles were retrieved, of which five studies met the eligibility criteria. RESULTS: Globally, an adherence was observed ranging from 78 to 100%. Three studies reported a reduction in suicidal ideation and two studies showed a reduction in the risk of relapse observed in the intervention group compared to a control group. CONCLUSIONS: In accordance with the limited data available, the use of a telephone contact approach appears to be feasible and effective in schizophrenia patients with suicidal behaviors. The preliminary evidence also suggests that this system appears to reduce suicidal ideation. Further research is required to design evidence-based future interventions and to determine whether this approach can improve patient outcomes

Effect of synchronous remote-based interventions on suicidal behaviours : protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Altres ajuts: Fundación Parc Taulí, SENDO PI21/01148 (Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria-ISCiii/FEDER)Introduction Suicide is among the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. The impact of suicide affects the personal, social and economic levels. Therefore, its prevention is a priority for public health systems. Previous studies seem to support the efficacy of providing active contact to people who have made a suicide attempt. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the efficacy of distance suicide prevention strategies implemented through synchronous technology-based interventions. Methods and analysis: This protocol is designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. The bibliographical searches were conducted in the databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science in April 2022, with no restrictions on the time of publication and limited to publications in English or Spanish. The search strategy was performed using free-text terms and Medical Subject Headings terms: suicide, follow-up, synchronous, remote, telehealth, telephone, hotline, video-conference and text message. Two reviewers will independently conduct study screening, selection process, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The analysis and synthesis of the results will be both qualitative and quantitative. A narrative synthesis, presented in a comprehensive table, will be performed and meta-analysis will be conducted, as appropriate, if sufficient data are provided. Ethics and dissemination: The present review and meta-analysis will not require ethical approval, as it will use data collected from previously published primary studies. The findings of this review will be published in peer-reviewed journals and widely disseminated
