Παράγοντες επικινδυνότητας και ανθεκτικότητας που επηρεάζουν την ψυχική υγεία των εργαζόμενων με πρόσφυγες στην Ελλάδα

Εισαγωγή: Μια εξελισσόμενη κρίση με ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά αποτελεί η μαζική μετακίνηση πληθυσμών προς την Ευρώπη. Με αφορμή τη θεαματική αύξηση των προσφυγικών ροών στην Ελλάδα από το 2015 έως σήμερα, πληθώρα επαγγελματιών έχουν ασχοληθεί προσφέροντας υπηρεσίες στους μετακινούμενους πληθυσμούς, σε διαφορετικά επίπεδα και σημεία της χώρας και υπό διαφορετικές σκοπιές. Σκοπός: Η διερεύνηση των παραγόντων επικινδυνότητας και ανθεκτικότητας που επηρεάζουν το ψυχολογικό αντίκτυπο της εμπειρίας από την εργασία στο προσφυγικό πεδίο σε διάφορες περιοχές της Ελλάδας. Υλικό – Μέθοδολογία: Η διερεύνηση των υπό μελέτη παραγόντων γίνεται με αντιπροσωπευτική δειγματοληψία. Το δείγμα αποτέλεσε αριθμός εργαζόμενων στο προσφυγικό πεδίο (Ν=102) που απασχολούνται σε διαφόρους φορείς και οργανώσεις σε όλη την Ελλάδα. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων πραγματοποιήθηκε με τη χρήση δομημένου ερωτηματολογίου και με τη χρήση κατάλληλων σταθμισμένων κλιμάκων για την εκτίμηση του συνόλου των δεικτών ψυχικής υγείας. Ανάλυση δεδομένων: Η ανάλυση των δεδομένων που συλλέχθηκαν έγινε με τη χρήση του Στατιστικού Πακέτου Ανάλυσης για τις Κοινωνικές Επιστήμες (SPSS 21). Συμβολή: Η παρούσα εργασία συμβάλλει σημαντικά στην προαγωγή της επιστημονικής γνώσης εντοπίζοντας τους παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν τους διάφορους δείκτες ψυχικής υγείας των εργαζόμενων στο ανθρωπιστικό πεδίο με προσφυγικούς πληθυσμούς. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα συμπεράσματα της έρευνας, οι οργανισμοί και οι φορείς που δραστηριοποιούνται στο προσφυγικό πεδίο θα μπορέσουν να σχεδιάσουν ολοκληρωμένες παρεμβάσεις ώστε να ανταποκριθούν στις ανάγκες και τα ζητήματα που αναδύονται λόγω της εργασίας στο πεδίο, με απώτερο στόχο την ελαχιστοποίηση των δυσμενών συνεπειών της και την ενίσχυση της ανθεκτικότητας των εργαζομένων.Risk and resilience factors affecting the psychological wellbeing of individuals working on the refugee field in Greece. Introduction: An evolving crisis with particular features is the mass movement of populations towards Europe. Due to the dramatic increase of the refugee flows arriving in Greece from 2015 until today, numerous professionals have been involved in the provision of varied services to the newcoming population in multiple levels and different locations across the country. Main Goal: The main goal was to investigate the risk and resilience factors that influence the psychological impact on individuals working on the refugee field in various regions of Greece. Material - Methodology: In order to investigate the above mentioned factors representative sampling has been selected. The sample consisted of individuals working on the refugee field (N = 102) employed in various organizations and services throughout Greece. Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire and appropriate weighted scales to assess all mental health indicators. Data analysis: Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 21). Contribution: The present study provides thorough empirical knowledge as well as new insights on the factors affecting the mental health of individuals working with refugee populations. Hence, organizations should better address the needs and issues arising from the field work to minimize its harmful consequences and promote resilience

Health, education, and social care provision after diagnosis of childhood visual disability

Aim: To investigate the health, education, and social care provision for children newly diagnosed with visual disability.Method: This was a national prospective study, the British Childhood Visual Impairment and Blindness Study 2 (BCVIS2), ascertaining new diagnoses of visual impairment or severe visual impairment and blindness (SVIBL), or equivalent vi-sion. Data collection was performed by managing clinicians up to 1-year follow-up, and included health and developmental needs, and health, education, and social care provision.Results: BCVIS2 identified 784 children newly diagnosed with visual impairment/SVIBL (313 with visual impairment, 471 with SVIBL). Most children had associated systemic disorders (559 [71%], 167 [54%] with visual impairment, and 392 [84%] with SVIBL). Care from multidisciplinary teams was provided for 549 children (70%). Two-thirds (515) had not received an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP). Fewer children with visual impairment had seen a specialist teacher (SVIBL 35%, visual impairment 28%, χ2p < 0.001), or had an EHCP (11% vs 7%, χ2p < 0 . 01).Interpretation: Families need additional support from managing clinicians to access recommended complex interventions such as the use of multidisciplinary teams and educational support. This need is pressing, as the population of children with visual impairment/SVIBL is expected to grow in size and complexity.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited

A Meta-Epidemiological Study of Positive Results in Clinical Nutrition Research: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Statistically Significant Findings

Positive (statistically significant) findings are easily produced in nutrition research when specific aspects of the research design and analysis are not accounted for. To address this issue, recently, a pledge was made to reform nutrition research and improve scientific trust on the science, encompass research transparency and achieve reproducibility. The aim of the present meta-epidemiological study was to evaluate the statistical significance status of research items published in three academic journals, all with a focus on clinical nutrition science and assessing certain methodological/transparency issues. All research items were published between the years 2015 and 2019. Study design, primary and secondary findings, sample size and age group, funding sources, positivist findings, the existence of a published research protocol and the adjustment of nutrients/dietary indexes to the energy intake (EI) of participants, were extracted for each study. Out of 2127 studies in total, those with positive findings consisted of the majority, in all three journals. Most studies had a published research protocol, however, this was mainly due to the randomized controlled trials and not to the evidence-synthesis studies. No differences were found in the distribution of positive findings according to the existence/inexistence of a published research protocol. In the pooled sample of studies, positive findings differed according to study design and more significant findings were reported by researchers failing to report any funding source. The majority of items published in the three journals (65.9%) failed to account for the EI of participants. The present results indicate that there is still room for the improvement of nutrition research in terms of design, analyses and reporting

Postprandial Metabolic and Oxidative Stress Responses to Grape Pomace Extract in Healthy Normal and Overweight/Obese Women: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study

Postprandial oxidative stress has been shown to promote atherosclerosis. Grape pomace (GP) is a source of similar-to-wine bioactive micro-constituents with known antioxidant properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate metabolic and oxidative stress responses after the intake of grape pomace (GP) extract along with a high-fat meal, in normal and overweight healthy women. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, 18 women were finally included, 11 with BMI 2 and 7 with BMI > 25 kg/m2, and consumed a high-fat meal with placebo or GP extract capsules in two separate visits. Blood samples were collected before and 6 h after the consumption. Measurements included basic biochemical markers, uric acid (UA), protein carbonyls (PC), thiobarbituric acid substance (TBARS) levels, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities. At certain time points, the GP extract consumption in normal-weight women reduced UA, TBARS levels, and SOD activity, whereas it increased UA and reduced PC levels in overweight/obese women, compared to the placebo. GP-derived bioactive compounds may exert antioxidant actions during the postprandial state in healthy women, through different mechanisms according to their BMI status
