Aproximación al análisis de la optimización de los servicios públicos para la búsqueda de empleo en una muestra de jovenes

La incorporación al mundo laboral, es una de las tareas de desarrollo más relevantes y complejas, dadas las características de la sociedad actual, para poder acceder al estatus de adulto. Con este estudio se pretende obtener información, acerca del conocimiento que los jóvenes tienen sobre las diferentes funciones del Servicio Andaluz de Empleo, la Oficina Virtual del Servicio Andaluz de Empleo y del Servicio de Orientación, Información, Prácticas, Empleo y Autoempleo. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo se ha tomado una muestra de estudiantes de la Universidad de Huelva, que durante el año académico 2011/2012, se encuentran cursando su segunda titulación universitaria. La muestra está formada por 72 alumnos, de los cuales el 16.7% son hombres y el 83% son mujeres. La media de edad es de 23.64 años. Los resultados informan de una falta de formación e información relacionada con los Servicios Públicos de Empleo.The incorporation into the world of work, is one of the most relevant and complex development, by the characteristics of today’s society, to gain access to adult status.

Evaluation of Convergent, Discriminant, and Criterion Validity of the Cuestionario Burnout Granada-University Students

For this reason, it is necessary that it is properly identified to prevent the impact it can have on the work and personal areas of the people who suffer from it. The aim of this work is to study the convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of the Cuestionario Burnout Granada-University Students. The sample consisted of 463 undergraduate nursing students, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling, who participated voluntarily and anonymously in the study. The mean age of the participants was 21.9 (5.12) years, mostly female (74.1%), single (95.8%), and childless (95.6%). Information was collected face-to-face, and the instruments were completed on paper. Comparisons were made in the three dimensions of burnout of the CBG-USS between students with and without burnout, finding statistically significant differences in all three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion (p < 0.001, d = 0.674), Cynicism (p < 0.001, d = 0.479), and Academic Efficacy (p < 0.001, d = -0.607). The Cuestionario Burnout Granada-University Students presents adequate reliability and validity indices, which demonstrates its usefulness in the identification of burnout. This syndrome has traditionally been measured in professionals, but students also present burnout, so it is necessary to have specific burnout instruments for students, since the pre-work situation and stressors of students are different from those of workers. In order to work on the prevention of university burnout, it is essential to have specific instruments for professionals in training that help in the detection of students with burnout.FEDER/Consejera de Universidad, Investigación e Inovación de la Junta de Andalucía P20-0063

Prevalence and Predictors of Burnout in Midwives: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The prevalence of burnout in midwives has been briefly studied. Given the negative effects of burnout syndrome in the physical and mental health, and also related to the quality of care provided, rates of absenteeism and sick leave; identifying related factors for the syndrome are needed. The aim was to determine the prevalence, levels, and factors related to the burnout syndrome, measured with the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory in midwives. A systematic review and meta-analysis were selected from CINAHL, LILACS, ProQuest, PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO, and Scopus databases, with the search equation “burnout AND (midwife OR midwives OR nurses midwives)”. Fourteen articles were found with a total of 8959 midwives. Most of the studies showed moderate levels of personal burnout. The prevalence obtained was 50% (95% CI = 38–63) for personal burnout; 40% (95% CI = 32–49) for work-related burnout; and 10% (95% CI = 7–13) for client-related burnout. Midwives’ age, less experience, and living alone constitute the main related factors, as well as, the scarcity of resources, work environment, and the care model used. Most midwives present personal and work-related burnout, which indicates a high risk of developing burnout. Personal factors and working conditions should be taken into account when assessing burnout risk profiles of midwives

A Multicentre Study of Psychological Variables and the Prevalence of Burnout among Primary Health Care Nurses

Nurses in primary health care (PHC) have multiple responsibilities but must often work with limited resources. The study’s aim was to estimate burnout levels among PHC nurses. A Quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, multicentre study of 338 nurses working in PHC in the Andalusian Public Health Service (Spain) is presented. A total of 40.24% of the nurses studied had high levels of burnout. The dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation were significantly associated with anxiety, depression, neuroticism, on-call duty and seniority-profession and inversely related to agreeableness. In addition, depersonalisation was significantly associated with gender, and emotional exhaustion correlated inversely with age. Personal achievement was inversely associated with anxiety and depression and positively correlated with agreeableness, extraversion and responsibility. There is a high prevalence of burnout among nurses in PHC. Those most likely to suffer burnout syndrome are relatively young, suffer from anxiety and depression and present high scores for neuroticism and low ones for agreeableness, responsibility and extraversion.Funding for this study was provided by the Andalusian Government Excellence Project (P11HUM-7771

México, integración y globalización ¿Antecedentes de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo?

Presentamos en este volumen la Memoria del Seminario México: integración y globalización ¿Antecedentes de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo? que la Asociación de Licenciadas en Economía, cuyos objetivos son académicos con base en la pluralidad, tuvo a bien convocar dentro de su plan de trabajo 1991-1993 para discutir los cambios en el proceso productivo en el marco de la globalización. El TLC, la apertura financiera, la reestructuración industrial, la privatización del sector público y las reformas de Estado caracterizan al México de hoy, muy diferente al de solo unos años. México termina el siglo XX viviendo los antecedentes de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo que regirá la primera mitad del siglo XXI y los albores del tercer mileni

Assessing the Interactions between Strengths and Risk Factors of Recidivism through the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY)

Instruments that assess recidivism risk in young people are used widely in the sphere of juvenile justice worldwide. Traditionally, research has focused on the study of risk factors presented by young offenders, and how these relate to criminal recidivism. In present-day research, protective factors have also come into their own, having proven to encourage non-recidivism in young offenders. This paper presents a study carried out with 594 young offenders. The instrument used for assessing risk of recidivism in young offenders was the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY). In the results found here, one can observe how the young offenders who did not reoffend presented a greater level of protective factors than the repeating offenders. The youths with a prior arrest record scored higher in the risk domains than the reoffenders without a prior arrest record. The case of young repeat offenders who already had an arrest record represents a high-risk profile, or a profile of a criminal career. Crimes committed by young people can be isolated incidents in their life. In most youths, criminal behavior does not persist beyond legal age. Protective factors prove to be important in juvenile justice when planning an individualized intervention for the young offender
