Competencias socioemocionales y alcoholismo en mujeres: revisión y estado actual de la cuestión

ABSTRACTMost of the research studies focused on protection variables against alcohol addiction have omitted the role of emotional intelligence and social-emotional competencies. Nevertheless, recent investigations demonstrate that these variables are related to life adjustment, emotional wellbeing, and are inversely related to the tendency to suffer alcohol addiction. In this paper we make a brief review of the characteristics of female alcoholism and we point out some key social-emotional competencies with protective functions against alcohol addiction in women. Likewise, social-emotional counseling is emphasized as a suitable tool for promoting these competencies.RESUMENLa mayoría de los estudios sobre factores protectores frente al consumo y abuso de alcohol han obviado el papel de las competencias socioemocionales y de la inteligencia emocional. Sin embargo, recientes investigaciones evidencian que estas variables están directamente relacionadas con el logro de niveles óptimos de ajuste psicosocial y de bienestar emocional, e inversamente relacionadas con la propensión a padecer adicciones. En este artículo hacemos una breve revisión sobre las particularidades del alcoholismo en mujeres y avanzamos algunos ejemplos de competencias socioemocionales que pueden actuar como factores protectores (o de riesgo, según se mire) frente al consumo abusivo de alcohol en mujeres. Asimismo, se propone la Orientación Personal Socioemocional como un vehículo idóneo para la promoción de las citadas competencias.ABSTRACTMost of the research studies focused on protection variables against alcohol addiction have omitted the role of emotional intelligence and social-emotional competencies.

Impact of time to intubation on mortality and pulmonary sequelae in critically ill patients with COVID-19: a prospective cohort study

Question: We evaluated whether the time between first respiratory support and intubation of patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) due to COVID-19 was associated with mortality or pulmonary sequelae. Materials and methods: Prospective cohort of critical COVID-19 patients on IMV. Patients were classified as early intubation if they were intubated within the first 48 h from the first respiratory support or delayed intubation if they were intubated later. Surviving patients were evaluated after hospital discharge. Results: We included 205 patients (140 with early IMV and 65 with delayed IMV). The median [p25;p75] age was 63 [56.0; 70.0] years, and 74.1% were male. The survival analysis showed a significant increase in the risk of mortality in the delayed group with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 2.45 (95% CI 1.29-4.65). The continuous predictor time to IMV showed a nonlinear association with the risk of in-hospital mortality. A multivariate mortality model showed that delay of IMV was a factor associated with mortality (HR of 2.40; 95% CI 1.42-4.1). During follow-up, patients in the delayed group showed a worse DLCO (mean difference of - 10.77 (95% CI - 18.40 to - 3.15), with a greater number of affected lobes (+ 1.51 [95% CI 0.89-2.13]) and a greater TSS (+ 4.35 [95% CI 2.41-6.27]) in the chest CT scan. Conclusions: Among critically ill patients with COVID-19 who required IMV, the delay in intubation from the first respiratory support was associated with an increase in hospital mortality and worse pulmonary sequelae during follow-up.The study was supported in part by ISCIII (CIBERESUCICOVID, COV20/00110), co‑funded by ERDF, “Una manera de hacer Europa” and Donation pro‑gram "estar preparados".

Resumen basado en el de la publicaciónLa mayoría de los estudios sobre factores protectores frente al consumo y abuso de alcohol han obviado el papel de las competencias socioemocionales y de la inteligencia emocional. Sin embargo, algunas investigaciones evidencian que estas variables están directamente relacionadas con el logro de niveles óptimos de ajuste psicosocial y de bienestar emocional, e inversamente relacionadas con la propensión a padecer adicciones. Se realiza una breve revisión sobre las particularidades del alcoholismo en mujeres y se avanza mediante algunos ejemplos de competencias socioemocionales que pueden actuar como factores protectores (o de riesgo, según se mire) frente al consumo abusivo de alcohol en mujeres.
