Estilos de vida, estrategias de afrontamiento, estrés y depresión en estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la UAEM

Introducción: Los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud de la Facultad de Medicina (FM) de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEM), requieren, además de inteligencia cognitiva, inteligencia emocional y habilidades de relación interpersonal: empatía, compasión y madurez. La naturaleza de la profesión en el ámbito de la salud solicita que el estudiante tenga un perfil con ciertas características entre las que se enfatizan habilidades de gestión, templanza en el trabajo para situaciones imprevistas, el cumplimiento con el deber y la necesidad de actualización permanente,1 que les ayuden a tener un desarrollo integral para desempeñarse profesionalmente. Objetivo: Identificar estrategias de afrontamiento al estrés y correlacionar con estilos de vida, estrés y síntomas depresivos. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo, transversal y correlacional. Con muestreo no probabilístico de tipo dirigido, de 173 estudiantes voluntarios. Se aplicó el cuestionario FANTASTIC, Escala de Estrés Percibido de Cohen, Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento e Inventario de Depresión de Beck. Se aplicó Chi cuadrada para establecer la significancia y coeficiente de Pearson para correlación. Resultados: Las estrategias de afrontamiento usadas fueron activas-adaptativas; orientadas a la solución de problemas. En estilos de vida saludables mostraron menores índices de estrés y depresión. Abstract Background: Health science students at the School of Medicine of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM) require, in addition to cognitive intelligence, sufficient emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills: empathy, compassion and maturity. The nature of the profession in the field of health requires that the student has a profile with certain characteristics among which are emphasized management skills, temperance at work for unforeseen situations, compliance with the liability and the need for permanent updating.1 To help them to perform professionally and to have an integral development. Objective: To identify stress coping strategies and to correlate with lifestyles, stress and depressive symptoms. Method: A descriptive, transverse and correlational qualitative study was carried out. With non-probabilistic directed sample of 173 volunteer students. The FANTASTIC questionnaire, Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale, Coping Strategies Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory were applied. Chi square test was applied to establish the significance and Pearson coefficient for correlation. Results: The coping strategies used were active-adaptive and solutions-oriented. Healthy lifestyles showed lower rates of stress and depression. &nbsp

Adopción de software de código abierto entre los estudiantes universitarios de países emergentes

Open-source software (OSS) has become a valuable resource for corporate, educational, and social processes, reducing digital divides in emerging countries. This paper proposes an open-source software acceptance model (OSS-AM) to examine determinants of OSS adoption among students in emerging economies. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive correlational approach was employed, collecting data from a representative sample of 504 students. Confirmatory factor analysis showed strong associations between attitude towards use and variables such as compatibility, quality, flexibility, and security. This study reveals that skill development through practical education, perceived usefulness, training, and compatibility are the most influential factors in students’ adoption of OS

From absent to present pasts: civil society, democracy and the shifting place of memory in Brazil

This paper takes Alexis de Tocqueville’s concern with the emotional life of citizens as a cue for exploring the role of collective memory within ‘the self-organizing sphere’ and asking how the invocation of memory affects progress towards democracy. The paper hones in on the Brazilian experience, re-assessing Brazil’s amnesiac past as well as its much lauded ‘turn to memory’. Against common assertions that Brazil’s ‘turn to memory’ will enhance the country’s democratic credentials, this paper argues that the move from an ‘absent’ to a ‘present’ past in Brazil in fact bodes rather mixed prospects for the country’s democratic deepening

A Photo Score for Aesthetic Outcome in Sagittal Synostosis:An ERN CRANIO Collaboration

European Reference Network (ERN) CRANIO is focused on optimizing care for patients with rare or complex craniofacial anomalies, including craniosynostosis and/or rare ear, nose, and throat disorders. The main goal of ERN CRANIO is to collect uniform data on treatment outcomes for multicenter comparison. We aimed to develop a reproducible and reliable suture-specific photo score that can be used for cross-center comparison of phenotypical severity of sagittal synostosis and aesthetic outcome of treatment. We conducted a retrospective study among nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis patients aged &lt;19 years. We included preoperative and postoperative photo sets from 6 ERN CRANIO centers. Photo sets included bird's eye, lateral, and anterior-posterior views. The sagittal synostosis photo score was discussed in the working group, and consensus was obtained on its contents. Interrater agreement was assessed with weighted Fleiss' Kappa and intraclass correlation coefficients.The photo score consisted of frontal bossing, elongated skull, biparietal narrowness, temporal hollowing, vertex line depression, occipital bullet, and overall phenotype. Each item was scored as normal, mild, moderate, or severe. Results from 36 scaphocephaly patients scored by 20 raters showed kappa values ranging from 0.38 [95% bootstrap CI: 0.31, 0.45] for biparietal narrowness to 0.56 [95% bootstrap CI: 0.47, 0.64] for frontal bossing. Agreement was highest for the sum score of individual items [intraclass correlation coefficients agreement 0.69 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.82]. This is the first large-scale multicenter study in which experts investigated a photo score to assess the severity of sagittal synostosis phenotypical characteristics. Agreement on phenotypical characteristics was suboptimal (fair-moderate agreement) and highest for the summed score of individual photo score items (substantial agreement), indicating that although experts interpret phenotypical characteristics differently, there is consensus on overall phenotypical severity.</p
