Intervención cognitivo conductual para la reducción de la ansiedad en adolescentes de un centro psicológico privado

La adolescencia es una época de cambios a nivel físico, neurológico, cognitivo y conductual, considerada como una época de crisis, con mayor vulnerabilidad a desarrollar problemas de salud mental como la ansiedad. Esto supone consecuencias en los diversos planos de su vida, como bajo rendimiento académico, dificultades en habilidades sociales, baja autoestima, problemas familiares y mayor propensión a desarrollar trastornos depresivos. En el último año, los niveles altos de ansiedad han sido el problema más encontrado en el centro terapéutico a trabajar. Por consiguiente, se plantea un programa de intervención cognitivo conductual, en el cual participaron cinco adolescentes de 13 a 15 años de edad. Su objetivo fue reducir los niveles de ansiedad, a través de tres módulos, con un total de 14 sesiones. Se abordaron los síntomas fisiológicos, distorsiones cognitivas y conductas disfuncionales, enmarcándose en el modelo cognitivo de la ansiedad de Beck. Se ejecutaron tres sesiones, aplicando el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck en la evaluación de línea base y de proceso. Los niveles de ansiedad se mantuvieron en un nivel moderado después de la ejecución de las sesiones; además, se encontraron descensos en los índices de malestar subjetivo (SUDS) al realizar las técnicas de respiración y relajación.Adolescence is a time of changes at physical, neurological, cognitive and behavioral level, considered as a time of crisis, with vulnerability to develop mental health problems such as anxiety. This implies consequences in various levels of their lives, such as poor academic performance, difficulties in social skills, low self-esteem, family problems and a greater propensity to develop depressive disorders. In the last year, high levels of anxiety have been the most common problem in the therapeutic center in which we worked. Therefore, a cognitive behavioral intervention program is proposed, in which five adolescents aged 13 to 15 years participated. Its objective was to reduce anxiety levels, through three modules, with a total of 14 sessions. Physiological symptoms, cognitive distortions and dysfunctional behaviors were addressed, being framed in Beck's cognitive model of anxiety. Three sessions were run, applying Beck's Anxiety Inventory in the baseline and process evaluation. Anxiety levels remained at a moderate level after the execution of the sessions; In addition, there were decreases in the rates of subjective discomfort (SUDS) when performing breathing and relaxation techniques

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive data set of inventories of mammal, bird, and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete data set comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals, and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals: Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds: Pauxi tuberosa (3713 records); and reptiles: Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and other human-mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world. The data set is not copyright restricted; please cite this data paper when using its data in publications and we also request that researchers and educators inform us of how they are using these data
