Conducta infiel y adicción a redes sociales en adultos de la selva peruana / Unfaithful behavior and addiction to social networks in adults from the Peruvian jungle

La adicción a las redes sociales potencia las probabilidades de infidelidad de pareja. Esta investi-gación tuvo el objetivo de determinar la relación entre conducta infiel y adicción a redes sociales en adultos de las áreas comerciales de Tarapoto, Lamas, San José de Sisa, Moyobamba y Naran-jos, región de la Amazonía Peruana, durante el primer cuatrimestre de 2021. Así, se desarrolló un estudio con diseño no experimental y tipo de investigación correlacional, en una muestra de 318 individuos con edades entre 20 y 40 años, a los que se aplicó el Inventario Multidimensional de Infidelidad y el Cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales. El 62,3% de los participantes perteneció al sexo masculino, el 57,5% tenía edades entre 30 y 59 años, el 66,7% convivía con sus parejas sin estar casados y el 51,6% se encontraban en la segunda etapa de la relación de pareja. Existieron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto a la conducta infiel (U=6387,500; p<0,000). En este contexto, se observó un predominio del nivel medio de la adición a las redes sociales en los participantes y del bajo en las dimensiones de la conducta de infidelidad, estableciéndose correlación estadísticamente significativa entre ambas variables.

Addiction to social networks increases the chances of partner infidelity. This research aimed to determine the relationship between unfaithful behavior and addiction to social networks in adults from the commercial areas of Tarapoto, Lamas, San José de Sisa, Moyobamba, and Naranjos, in the Peruvian Amazon region, during the first four-month period of 2021. Thus, a study with a non-experimental design and correlational research type was developed in a sample of 318 individuals between 20 and 40 years old. The Multidimensional Infidelity Inventory and the Social Networks Addiction Questionnaire were applied. 62.3% of the participants were male, 57.5% were between 30 and 59 years old, 66.7% lived with their partners without marria-ge, and 51.6% were in the second stage of the couple relationship. There were significant diffe-rences between men and women regarding unfaithful behavior (U=6387,500; p<0.000). In this context, a predominance of the medium level of addiction to social networks in the participants and the low level in the dimensions of infidelity behavior were observed, establishing a statisti-cally significant correlation between both variables.

Intervenções com grupos de mães e filhos expostos à VPI: uma revisão sistemática de literatura / Group interventions with mothers and children exposed to IPV: a systematic literature review / Intervenciones con grupos de madres y niños expuestos a VPI: una revisión sistemática de literatura

O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura de intervenções voltadas para crianças e suas mães expostas à violência por parceiro íntimo (VPI). Foi realizada uma busca às bases de dados Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science e Bireme utilizando os termos "violência doméstica/domestic violence", "violência entre parceiros íntimos/intimate partner violence/violencia entre parejas íntimas", "crianças/children/ niños", "expostas/exposed/expuestos", "intervenção/intervention/intervención", "tratamento/treatment/tratamiento", "grupo/group". A partir dos critérios de inclusão/exclusão, os estudos foram selecionados e analisados. Nos 13 estudos analisados, verificou-se predominância de estudos pré e pós-teste com grupos paralelos de mães e crianças, com objetivos voltados aos sintomas (trauma, ansiedade, depressão, problemas de comportamento) e fortalecimento de vínculo mãe-filho. A condução de tratamento concomitante associou-se a resultados positivos na redução de sintomas e consequências negativas da exposição à VPI. Tais achados lançam uma luz importante para a área de prevenção e intervenção sugerindo que o tratamento concomitante mães-filhos favorece o desenvolvimento de relações positivas e saudáveis entre eles

The present study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review on interventions aimed at children and their mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). A search in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and Bireme databases was conducted using the terms "violência doméstica/domestic violence", "violência entre parceiros íntimos/ intimate partner violence/ violência entre parejas íntimas", "crianças/ children/ niños", "expostas/ exposed/ expuestos", "intervenção/ intervention/ intervención", "tratamento/ treatment/ tratamient", "grupo/ group". Through inclusion / exclusion criteria, the studies were selected and analyzed. Thirteen studies were analyzed and it was observed a predominance in pre-post-test studies with parallel groups of mothers and children. The objectives focused on symptoms (trauma, anxiety, depression, behavior problems) and strengthening mother-child bonds. Conducting concomitant treatment was associated with positive results in reducing symptoms and negative consequences of IPV exposure. These findings shed an important light on violence prevention and intervention, suggesting that concomitant mother-child treatment favors the development of positive and healthy relationships between them.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo conducir una revisión sistemática de la literatura de intervenciones dirigidas a los niños y sus madres expuestos a la violencia entre parejas íntimas (VPI). Fueran realizadas búsquedas en las bases de datos Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science y Bireme utilizando los términos "violência doméstica/domestic violence", "violência entre parceiros íntimos/intimate partner violence/violencia entre parejas íntimas", "crianças/ children/niños", "expostas/exposed/expuestos", "intervenção/intervention/intervención", "tratamento/ treatment/tratamiento", "grupo/group". A partir de los criterios de inclusión/exclusión, los estudios fueron seleccionados y analizados. En los trece estudios analizados, hubo un predominio de los estudios con análisis pre-pos testes con grupos paralelos de madres y niños, con objetivos centrados en los síntomas (trauma, ansiedad, depresión, problemas de comportamiento) y en el fortalecimiento del vínculo madre-hijo. La realización de un tratamiento concomitante se asoció con resultados positivos en la reducción de los síntomas y las consecuencias negativas de la exposición a VPI. Estos resultados hallazgos arrojan una luz importante sobre el área de prevención e intervención, lo que sugiere que el tratamiento concomitante de madre e hijo favorece el desarrollo de relaciones positivas y saludables entre ellos.

Fatores associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais entre homens que fazem sexo com homens no Brasil / Factors associated with inconsistent condom use among men who have sex with men in Brazil and their commercial sexual partners / Factores asociados al uso inconsistente del preservativo con las parejas comerciales entre los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres en Brasil

O objetivo foi analisar os fatores associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais entre homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) no Brasil. Foi feito um estudo transversal, com HSH adultos, recrutados por meio da técnica respondent-driven sampling (RDS), em 12 capitais brasileiras, em 2016. Os HSH responderam a um questionário sociocomportamental, que incluía questões sobre o comportamento sexual. O uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais foi mensurado por meio das relações sexuais anais insertivas e receptivas, ocorridas nos últimos seis meses e na última relação sexual. A associação entre as variáveis independentes e o uso inconsistente de preservativo foi mensurada utilizando o modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, com estimação de razões de prevalência ajustadas (RPa). Foram analisados dados de 461 HSH. A prevalência de uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais foi de 26% (IC95%: 19,0-34,3, n = 123). Pertencer às classes econômicas mais baixas (D/E), ter médio ou baixo conhecimento sobre HIV, ter praticado sexo anal insertivo e receptivo e nunca ter realizado teste para HIV na vida são fatores que estiveram associados ao uso inconsistente de preservativo com parceiros comerciais. As variáveis associadas ao uso inconsistente indicaram que o sexo comercial está sendo praticado em um contexto de maior vulnerabilidade à infecção pelo HIV. Nesse sentido, são necessárias intervenções biomédicas e comportamentais, com foco no acesso e na utilização de estratégias de prevenção, aliadas a políticas públicas para a redução de desigualdades socioeconômicas entre HSH que praticam sexo comercial.

We aimed to analyze the factors associated with inconsistent condom use among men who have sex with men (MSM) and their commercial sexual partners in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study with adult MSM who were recruited via respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in 12 Brazilian capitals in 2016. MSM answered a sociobehavioral questionnaire which included questions on their sexual behavior. The inconsistent use of condoms with their clientele was measured via insertive and receptive anal sex in the six months prior to our research and in their last sexual intercourse. The association between independent variables and the inconsistent use of condoms was measured via a Poisson regression model with robust variance and estimation of adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR). Data from 461 MSM were analyzed. We found a 26% prevalence of inconsistent condom use with their clientele (95%CI: 19.0-34.3, n = 123). Belonging to the lowest economic classes (D/E), having medium or low knowledge about HIV, having practiced insertive and receptive anal sex, and having never tested for HIV throughout their lives were associated with inconsistent use of condoms with their clientele. The variables associated with inconsistent use indicated that commercial sex is practiced in a context of greater vulnerability to HIV infection, referring to the need for biomedical and behavioral interventions which focus on access to and use of prevention strategies together with public policies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities among MSM who practice commercial sexual.

Pertenecer a las clases económicas más bajas (D/E), tener un conocimiento medio o bajo sobre el VIH, haber practicado sexo anal tanto insertivo como receptivo y no haberse sometido nunca a la prueba del VIH en su vida se asociaron con el uso inconsistente del preservativo con las parejas comerciales. Las variables asociadas al uso inconsistente indicaron que el sexo comercial se está practicando en un contexto de mayor vulnerabilidad a la infección por el VIH, refiriendo la necesidad de intervenciones biomédicas y conductuales, con un enfoque en el acceso y uso de estrategias de prevención, junto con políticas públicas para reducir las desigualdades socioeconómicas entre los HSH que practican el sexo comercial.

Young women born with HIV: communication of seropositivity to partners / Young women born with HIV: communication of seropositivity to partners

RESUMO Objetivou-se compreender os aspectos envolvidos na comunicação da própria condição clínica aos parceiros por mulheres jovens que nasceram com HIV. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida em Serviço de Assistência Especializada ao HIV na região sul do Brasil com dez jovens que nasceram com HIV, sendo empregada a entrevista individual, de junho de 2017 a março de 2018. Utilizou-se a análise psicossocial ancorada no Quadro da Vulnerabilidade e dos Direitos Humanos. Evidenciaramse dois grupos: o primeiro, composto por jovens que optaram por comunicar sua condição clínica ao parceiro no início das relações afetivas; e o segundo, com as jovens que postergaram tal comunicação. Todas vivenciaram receios e medos da reação do parceiro, pensaram ou adotaram algumas estratégias para a comunicação e relataram situações de menor implicação nas condutas preventivas ao HIV pelos casais/parceiros. Conclui-se que são essenciais práticas de cuidado que dialoguem com as jovens sobre as dificuldades singulares em seus contextos intersubjetivos, atravessados por questões sociais estruturais a fim de apoiá-las na comunicação sobre a soropositividade aos parceiros em tempo mais oportuno possível, na adoção de estratégias preventivas e no acesso aos recursos que protejam a saúde sexual e reprodutiva delas e dos parceiros.

ABSTRACT The objective was to understand the aspects involved in the communication of their own clinical condition to their partners by young women born with HIV. This is qualitative research, developed in a Specialized HIV Care Service in the southern region of Brazil with ten young people who were born with HIV, using the individual interview, from June 2017 to March 2018. An anchored psychosocial analysis was used within the Framework of Vulnerability and Human Rights. Two groups emerged: the first composed of young women who chose to communicate with their partners at the beginning of affective relationships; and the second, with the young women who postponed such communication. All of them experienced apprehensions and fears regarding the partner's reaction, thought about or adopted some strategies for communication, and reported situations of lesser involvement in HIV prevention behaviors by couples/partners. Care practices that dialogue with young women about the unique difficulties in their intersubjective contexts, crossed by structural social issues, are essential in order to support them in communicating their HIV status to their partners in as soon as possible, in adopting preventive strategies, and in accessing resources that protect their and their partners' sexual and reproductive health.

HIV serodiscordant sexual partners: social representations of health care professionals / Parejas sexuales serodiferentes cuanto al VIH: representaciones sociales de los profesionales de servicios de salud / Parceiros sexuais sorodiferentes quanto ao HIV: representações sociais dos profissionais de serviços de saúde

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the structure of the social representations of health professionals from HIV/AIDS Specialized Care Services about HIV-positive partners. Methods: this is a qualitative study, based on the structural aspect of Social Representations, developed in specialized services of the metropolitan area of a state in the Northeast Region. Fifty-one professionals were interviewed using the technique of free association of words, processed by the software IRaMuTeQ, by means of prototypical and similarity analysis. Results: the central nucleus was constituted by the terms "partnership", "love" and "fear", showing appreciation of meanings inherent to their beliefs, values and experiences that bring possibilities of reflections for health practices. Final Considerations: the findings reinforce the impacts generated in the different segments of the lives of people living with HIV and in their emotional bonds. This highlights the need for the implementation of care strategies contemplating the biopsychosocial care model rather than the biological model.

RESUMEN Objetivos: aprender estructura de representaciones sociales de personal de salud de Servicios de Asistencia Especializada VIH/SIDA sobre parejas que viven en serodiferencia cuanto al VIH. Métodos: estudio cualitativo, fundamentado en la vertiente estructural de Representaciones Sociales, desarrollado en servicios especializados de la región metropolitana de un estado del Nordeste. Entrevistados 51 profesionales con aplicación de técnica de asociación libre de palabras, procesadas por software IRaMuTeQ, mediante análisis prototípico y de similitud. Resultados: el núcleo central constituido por los términos "compañerismo", "amor" y "miedo", evidenciando valorización de sentidos inherentes a sus creencias, valores y experiencias que traen posibilidades de reflexiones para las prácticas de salud. Consideraciones Finales: hallados refuerzan los impactos generados en los diferentes segmentos de la vida de las personas que viven con VIH y en sus vínculos afectivos. Eso señala la necesidad de implementación de estrategias asistenciales contemplando el modelo de cuidado biopsicosocial en detrimento del modelo biológico.

Clinical study of modified Huiyangyin Decoction combined with Kinesio taping for the patients with early and middle stage knee osteoarthritis / 国际中医中药杂志

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of modified Huiyangyin Decoction combined with Kinesio taping in the treatment of early and middle stage knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A total of 92 patients with early and middle stages of knee osteoarthritis, who admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to January 2022), were randomized into the western medicine group and the observation group by the random number table method, 46 in each group. The western medicine group received celecoxib capsules and sodium hyaluronate injection therapy, whicle the patients in the observation group received modified Huiyangyin Decoction combined with Kinesio taping on the basis of wetern medicine treatment. The treatment effect rates, angle of the knee joint initiative activity (AROM) changes and TCM syndrome (knee joint ache, swelling in the knee joint, rigid and claudication) changes, changes of pain intensity by visual analog scores (VAS), WOMAC scores, circumference of knee joint and Stand up time test, and adverse events were recorded and compared.Results:The total effective rate was 95.7% (44/46) in the observation group and 82.6% (38/46) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.04, P=0.045). After treatment, the flexion, internal rotation and external rotation of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t=2.85, 2.29, 2.22, respectively, all Ps <0.05). The scores and total scores of knee pain, knee swelling, stiffness, claudication in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=20.53, 19.74, 17.40, 17.63, 27.13, respectively, all Ps<0.001). The VAS and WOMAC scores were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=10.47, 10.55, respectively, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the circumference of knee joint in the observation group [(33.69±1.11) cm vs. (34.55±1.37) cm; t=10.47, P<0.01] was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the time of standing up and walking was [(19.50±2.45) s vs. (28.12±2.22) s; t=10.55, P<0.01] were significantly shorter than those in the control group. During treatment, the incidence of adverse events in the observation group was 2.2% (1/46), and that in the control group was 4.3% (2/46). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.35, P=0.557). Conclusion:The modified Huiyangyin Decoction combined with Kinesio taping treatment has significant clinical effect, less adverse events for the patients with early and middle stage knee osteoarthritis.

Factores asociados a Chlamydia trachomatis en mujeres con vaginitis atendidas en atención primaria en salud / Factors associated with Chlamydia trachomatis in women with vaginitis attending in primary health care

INTRODUCCIÓN: Chlamydia trachomatis es reconocida como el agente causal de una de las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) más común y curable. En mujeres, puede ser gatillante de enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica, un factor de riesgo para infertilidad o adquisición de otras ITS. OBJETIVO: Determinar C. trachomatis en mujeres con diagnóstico clínico de vaginitis asociando factores sociodemográficos, sexuales, clínicos y microbiota vaginal. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Participaron 121 mujeres voluntarias > 18 años, con diagnóstico clínico de vaginitis y descarga vaginal anormal, atendidas en servicios de atención primaria en salud (APS) en Temuco-Chile. Se tomó muestra de flujo vaginal, determinándose C. trachomatis por una reacción de polimerasa en cadena convencional y microbiota vaginal por tinción de Gram. Se colectaron datos clínicos, sociodemográficos y sexuales mediante encuesta. RESULTADOS: Rango de edad 18-61 años. La frecuencia de C. trachomatis fue 14,9%. Se asoció C. trachomatis a mayor número de parejas sexuales en los últimos 5 años (p = 0,001), relaciones sexuales oral más anal (p = 0,055) y juguetes sexuales (p = 0,027). Asociación no significativa hubo con vaginosis bacteriana 31,2% (p = 0,091) e inicio de la actividad sexual < 18 años 20,6% (p = 0,07). CONCLUSIONES: Sería beneficioso incorporar en la semiología ginecológica de las mujeres atendidas en servicios de APS, los factores encontrados como favorecedores de infección por C. trachomatis, pues ello podría ayudar al manejo de esta ITS.

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis is recognized as the causative agent of one of the most common and curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In women, it can be a trigger for pelvic inflammatory disease, a risk factor for infertility or acquisition of other STIs. AIM: To determine CT in women with vaginitis and associate it with sociodemographic, sexual, clinical, and vaginal microbiota factors. Methods: 121 female volunteers > 18 years of age, with a clinical diagnosis of vaginitis and abnormal vaginal discharge, attending in primary health care services (PHC) in Temuco-Chile were recluted. A vaginal discharge sample was taken, determining C. trachomatis by polymerase chain reaction and vaginal microbiota by Gram stain. Clinical, sociodemographic and sexual data were collected by survey. RESULTS: Age range was 18-61 years. The frequency of C. trachomatis was 14.9%. C. trachomatis was associated with a higher number of sexual partners in the last 5 years (p = 0.001), oral plus anal sex (p = 0.055) and sex toys (p = 0.027); there was a non-significant association with bacterial vaginosis 31.2% (p = 0.091) and initiation of sexual activity < 18 years 20.6% (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: It would be beneficial to incorporate in the gynecological semiology of the women attended in PHC services, the factors found to favor C. trachomatis infection, as this could help the management of this STI.

Reflexões sobre as redes sociais de suporte de mulheres que sofreram violência de gênero perpetrada por parceiro íntimo: considerações sobre a percepção do corpo e da sexualidade das mulheres / Reflections on women's social networks who suffered gender based violence perpetrated by intimate partner: considerations on body image and sexuality

Introdução: Tendo em vista a estrutura patriarcal da sociedade e as estratégias de controle dos corpos femininos utilizadas para a manutenção da mesma, entende-se que as violências de gênero repercutem no cotidiano das mulheres ressignificando os sentidos atribuídos a seus corpos e sexualidade, sendo importante considerar que tal ressignificação passa pela mediação das redes sociais de suporte das mulheres. Objetivo: Compreender a influência das redes sociais de suporte junto às mulheres que sofreram violência de gênero perpetrada por parceiro íntimo, no processo de percepção de si, do seu corpo e da sexualidade. Metodologia: Pesquisa qualitativa que se utilizou da análise de conteúdo para analisar entrevistas semiestruturadas virtuais com 5 jovens mulheres influenciadoras digitais. Resultados: Foram identificadas 3 categorias analíticas que gravitam sobre as ideias de uma culpabilização pela violência vivida; as marcas da violência sobre os corpos e a sexualidade das mulheres; e o papel das redes sociais e de suporte para a superação ou manutenção da violência. Conclusão: O papel da rede social desenvolve-se tanto no apoio, quanto na reafirmação das violências vividas. Essas violências impactam o corpo, a sexualidade, e o cotidiano das entrevistadas. Cabe ao terapeuta ocupacional pensar em estratégias para ressignificar a violência vivida, o sentido dos corpos e da sexualidade das mulheres

Introduction: Bearing in mind the patriarchal structure of society and the strategies to control female bodies used to maintain it, it is understood that gender violence affects women's daily lives, giving new meaning to their bodies and sexuality, being important to consider that such resignification involves the mediation of women's social support networks. Objective: To understand the influence of social support networks on women who have suffered gender violence in the process of building their bodies and sexuality. Methodology: Qualitative research that used the content analysis method to analyze virtual semi-structured interviews with 5 young digital influencers. Results: Three analytical categories were identified that gravitate towards the ideas of blaming the violence experienced; the marks of violence on women's bodies and sexuality; and the role of social networks in overcoming or maintaining violence. Conclusion: The role of the social network is developed both in support and in reaffirming the violence experienced. These violences impact the body, sexuality, and daily life of the interviewees. It is up to the occupational therapist to think of strategies to re-signify the violence experienced, the meaning of women's bodies and sexuality.

Perfil dos parceiros íntimos de violência doméstica: uma expressão da questão social brasileira / Profile of Intimate Partners in Domestic Violence: an expression of the Brazilian social issue

Resumo: Este artigo pesquisa características dos parceiros íntimos que praticam violência doméstica contra a mulher. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo sobre o perfil socioeconômico de homens autores de VPI no ano de 2017, através de dados do Núcleo de Atendimento a Vítimas de Violências da cidade de Canoas. Iniciativas para reduzir a violência do parceiro requerem mudanças culturais, compromisso dos governos, conscientização da sociedade, e a identificação da ocorrência de VPI pelos órgãos responsáveis.

Abstract: Aiming to investigate the characterization of intimate partnerts who commit domestic violence (IPV) against women, a descriptive study was conducted about the sociodemographic profile of men authors of IPV during the year of 2017, using data provided by a care center for victims of violence located in the Great Porto Alegre. This kind of measure requires the commitment and the view of the community, the local government and the civil society and, especially, it requires that health professionals identify the occurrence of IPV.

Encuesta Sociedad de Psiquiatría y Neurología de la Infancia y Adolescencia (SOPNIA) 2019: análisis y proyecciones / SOPNIA SURVEY 2019: analysis and projections

En octubre 2019 se envió una encuesta, diferenciada, por mail o Whatsapp a todos los socios SOPNIA (Sociedad de Psiquiatría y Neurología de la Infancia y Adolescencia), activos y no-activos, y a los neuropediatras y psiquiatras no-socios de nuestros registros, con el fin de saber cómo valoran a SOPNIA, que esperan de nuestra sociedad y cuales debiesen ser los objetivos a desarrollar a futuro. Para ello se confeccionó una encuesta por mail o Whatsapp a responder por Survey Monkey, que constaba de una parte de selección múltiple y otra sección de opinión. RESULTADO: se enviaron 662 encuestas (441 socios y 121 no-socios), respondiendo 149 socios y 60 no-socios. Tanto socios como no-socios hicieron una buena evaluación del funcionamiento de SOPNIA, con excelente evaluación de nuestro congreso anual. Ambos grupos tuvieron opiniones similares en cuanto a los objetivos a mejorar, en relación a mayor participación en políticas públicas y mayor relevancia como líderes de opinión en los temas que nos competen. Por otro lado, los profesionales no socios no han ingresado a la sociedad, mayoritariamente por lo engorroso del trámite de ingreso. CONCLUSIÓN: Para los encuestados, SOPNIA tiene un buen funcionamiento, pero falta fortalecer un mayor rol social, como líderes de opinión en materias de infancia y adolescencia, participando más en políticas públicas.

In October 2019, a differentiated survey was sent by email or WhatsApp to all SOPNIA (Sociedad de Psiquiatría y Neurología de la Infancia y Adolescencia) members, both active and non-active, and to non-member neuropediatricians and psychiatrists in our registries, in order to know how they value SOPNIA, what they expect from our society and what our future objectives should be. For this, a survey was sent by mail or WhatsApp to be answered by Survey Monkey, which consisted of a multiple-selection part and another opinion section. RESULTS:662 surveys were sent (441 members and 121 non-members), with responses received from 149 members and 60 non-members. Both members and non-members made a good evaluation of the operation of SOPNIA, with excellent evaluation of our annual congress. Both groups had similar opinions regarding the objectives to be improved, in relation to greater participation in public policies and greater relevance as opinion leaders on the issues that concern us. On the other hand, non-member professionals have not joined the society, mainly due to the cumbersome entry process. CONCLUSION: For those surveyed, SOPNIA has a good functioning, but it is necessary to strengthen a greater social role as opinion leaders in matters of childhood and adolescence, participating more in public policies. It is recognized that there is a weakness in communicating to its partners all the activities carried out in this area. SOPNIA must improve its website and make it easier for new members to enter.

A transmissão transgeracional dos modelos conjugais / Transgerational transmission of conjugal models

A transgeracionalidade caracteriza-se pela transmissão de modelos familiares, perpassando gerações. Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar padrões transgeracionais expressos na conjugalidade de um casal em primeira relação conjugal, com até cinco anos de convivência, residente do RS. Os parceiros responderam a uma entrevista conjunta, e outra, individual, com foco nas percepções das heranças familiares. A análise dos dados revelou aspectos transgeracionais identificados para além da cultura e valores familiares de origem. Os resultados referiram a individuação dos sujeitos, os aprendizados familiares e adaptação conforme suas demandas individuais e conjugais, revelando-se um aspecto funcional. Os padrões da relação mostraram-se positivos, já que o casal investigado se mostrou disponível à transformação dos padrões familiares qualificando a relação atual. O presente estudo pode auxiliar profissionais de diferentes áreas do conhecimento que atendem casais e famílias nos diferentes níveis de prevenção para a compreensão dos casos e possível intervenção.

The transgenerationality is characterized by the transmission of familiar models, throught generations. This study aimed analyzing transgenerational patterns expressed in the conjugality of a couple in the first marital relationship, with up to five years of living, in RS. The partners responded to a interview together, and another, individual. Each interview focused their perceptions of experiences in families of origin.

The results highlighted to individuation of the subjects, the family learning and adaptation according to their individual and conjugal demands, revealing a functional aspect. The patterns of the relationship were positive, since the couple investigated became available to the transformation of the familiar patterns qualifying the current relation. The present study can help professionals from different areas of knowledgement who work with couples and families at different levels of prevention to understanding the cases and possible intervention.

Psychometric properties of the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire / Parâmetros psicométricos do Questionário de Abuso Digital no Namoro / Parámetros psicométricos del Cuestionario de Abuso Digital en Relaciones Amorosas

The present study aimed to know the validity and reliability of the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire - CDAQ in the Brazilian context. For this purpose, two empirical studies were designed. Study 1 (N = 215) tested the psychometric parameters of CDAQ, using exploratory factorial analysis. Study 2 (N = 248) sought to gather additional evidences of validity and accuracy of CDAQ using confirmatory factor analysis. The results pointed to the two-factorial structure as the most relevant, with good internal consistency indexes observed. In addition, CDAQ demonstrated convergent validity through meaningful associations with face-to-face abuse in love relationships (CTS2) and overall satisfaction in relationships. Furthermore, it is concluded that CDAQ presents itself as a valid and reliable measure, useful for investigating digital abuse in love relationships in the Brazilian population. (AU)

Estratégias de notificação de parceiros sexuais de pessoas com infecções sexualmente transmissíveis: ensaio clínico randomizado / Estrategias para reportar parejas sexuales de personas con enfermedades de transmisión sexual: ensayo clínico randomizado / Strategies for notifying sexual partners of people with sexually transmitted infections: a randomized clinical trial*

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar a efetividade da comunicação verbal e por cartão no comparecimento de parceiros sexuais de pessoas com infecções sexualmente transmissíveis com fatores associados ao seu êxito. Método Ensaio clínico, controlado, randomizado, cuja intervenção consistiu no oferecimento de um cartão de notificação para os pacientes-índices entregarem aos seus parceiros. Resultados A amostra foi de 189 pacientes-índices, 94 do grupo controle que convidaram verbalmente os parceiros sexuais para atendimento e 95 do grupo intervenção que levaram o cartão de notificação de parceiros como forma de convite para atendimento. Houve comparecimento de 52,6% dos parceiros convidados por cartão, e 43,6% dos convidados verbalmente, mas sem diferença estatística significativa (p=0,215). Os fatores associados ao não êxito no comparecimento de parceiros foram: não residir com o parceiro (p=0,0001), não ter parceiros fixos (p=0,0001), ter parceria casual (p=0,028) e usar preservativo com parceiro fixo (p=0,045). O tipo de infecção não influenciou a vinda do parceiro. Conclusão Face à ausência de maior efetividade na notificação por cartão, recomenda-se outro modelo de cartão contendo informações destinadas a parceiros para ser usado combinado a outros métodos.

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of verbal communication and communication by card in getting sexual partners of people with sexually transmitted infections to attend a health service and the factors associated with the success of these types of communication. Method Clinical, controlled, and randomized study, whose intervention was offering a reporting card for index patients to hand to their sexual partners. Results The sample was 189 index patients, 94 of whom were in the control group, and verbally invited their sexual partners to receive care, and 95 were allocated to the intervention group, and took their partner's reporting card to their partners as a way to invite them to receive care. The percentage of partners invited by card who came to the service was 52.6%, in contrast with 43.6% among partners who were invited verbally, but no significant statistical difference was found (p=0.215). The factors associated with failure to convince partners to come to the service were: not living with the partner (p=0.0001); not having a steady partner (p=0.0001); having casual partners (p=0.028); and using condoms with a steady partner (p=0.045). The infection type did not influence the studied partners' visits to the service. Conclusion Given the failure to achieve effectiveness when applying the reporting by card, the authors recommend another card model containing information for partners to be used in combination with other methods.

Characterising ISWI chromatin remodeler in Trypanosoma cruzi

BACKGROUND Imitation SWItch (ISWI) ATPase is the catalytic subunit in diverse chromatin remodeling complexes. These complexes modify histone-DNA interactions and therefore play a pivotal role in different DNA-dependent processes. In Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan that controls gene expression principally post-transcriptionally, the transcriptional regulation mechanisms mediated by chromatin remodeling are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To characterise the ISWI remodeler in T. cruzi (TcISWI). METHODS A new version of pTcGW vectors was constructed to express green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged TcISWI. CRISPR-Cas9 system was used to obtain parasites with inactivated TcISWI gene and we determined TcISWI partners by cryomilling-affinity purification-mass spectrometry (MS) assay as an approximation to start to unravel the function of this protein. FINDINGS Our approach identified known ISWI partners [nucleoplasmin-like protein (NLP), regulator of chromosome condensation 1-like protein (RCCP) and phenylalanine/tyrosine-rich protein (FYRP)], previously characterised in T. brucei, and new components in TcISWI complex [DRBD2, DHH1 and proteins containing a domain characteristic of structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins]. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD017869. MAIN CONCLUSIONS In addition to its participation in transcriptional silencing, as it was reported in T. brucei, the data generated here provide a framework that suggests a role for TcISWI chromatin remodeler in different nuclear processes in T. cruzi, including mRNA nuclear export control and chromatin compaction. Further work is necessary to clarify the TcISWI functional diversity that arises from this protein interaction study.

Social network characteristics of gay men college students in Tianjin seeking sex partners / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#Based on the MSM college students in Tianjin, this study aims to explore the demographic and behavioral characteristics of MSM with different sexual partners, and to provide evidence and information for intervention in combination with social networks.@*Methods@#According to the source and access of seeking sexual partners, 546 MSM of Tianjin college students aged 18-24 in 2018 Jan. and 2019 Dec. were divided into internet-based MSM (396) and traditional MSM (150). Chi-square test and rank-sum test were used to compare the demographic information, sexual behavior characteristics, HIV prevention and testing awareness, and psychoactive substance use of the two MSMs, and Logistic regression was used to explore factors affecting college students use of the Internet for sexual partners.@*Results@#Internet-based MSM has advantages in receiving HIV testing and safety consulting services, AIDS knowledge level, and peer education in the past year (P<0.05). The psychoactive substance use of the survey population reached more than 40%, and the awareness rates of pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis were 32.98% and 55.32%, respectively. After multivariate Logistic regression analysis, MSM students who had received condom distribution, AIDS counseling and peer education (OR=2.16, 1.98, P<0.01) were more inclined to use the Internet for sexual partners.@*Conclusion@#Relevant departments can use the Internet to intervene in the prevention and control of MSM in colleges and universities in terms of AIDS-related knowledge, HIV testing, and mental substances.

Association between the characteristics of sexual partners and substance use before sexual behavior in young male students who have sex with men / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To understand the characteristics of sexual partners and the influence of having multiple sexual partners on substance use among young male students man who have sex with men (MSM) in China, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS among young MSM students.@*Methods@#A mixed recruitment method of snowball sampling and respondent driven sampling was used to recruit young MSM students in Beijing and Tianjin, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among 220 participants from November to December 2019. Chi-square test and generalized linear model multi-factor Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of substance use before sexual behavior.@*Results@#The average age of them was (22.39±2.57) years old, 84.5% of them were students, the average age of first sexual behavior was (18.83±2.45) years old, 44.1% of them had two or more sexual partners (including fixed sexual partners, temporary sexual partners and commercial sexual partners), 22.7% had more than one male fixed partner. After adjusting for age and education, having multiple sexual partners was risk factor for drinking alcohol before sex (aOR=2.97) or substance abuse (aOR=2.39). Having male temporary sexual partner was an risk factor in substance use before sexual behavior(OR=4.10).@*Conclusion@#The characteristics of sexual partners among young MSM students are complex, and the proportion of multiple sexual partners is high. Having fixed single sexual partner can reduce the risk of substance use before sexual behavior. AIDS prevention education for young MSM students should be further strengthened.

Effect Of Tobacco Chewing On Seminal Parameters In Male Partners Of Infertile Couples

Background: Male factors contribute to almost 50% of infertile couples. Deleterious effects of tobacco smoking on male reproductive system are well known. Research studies report contradictory findings about the effect of tobacco chewing on male fertility. Aim and objectives: To study effect of tobacco chewing on seminal parameters in male partners of infertile couples. Material and Methods: Present study was conducted on 100 male partners of infertile couples (50 tobacco chewers and 50 non-chewers) in age group of 21-40 years in the semen analysis laboratory in department of Physiology of Government Medical College, Nagpur from October 2014 to March 2016. Seminal parameters like volume of ejaculate, sperm count, sperm motility and motile sperm count were measured and compared in both groups. Result: Tobacco chewers had significantly lower values of all the seminal parameters as compared to non-chewers. Significantly low values of all parameters were observed in severe tobacco chewers as compared to mild and moderate tobacco chewers. Conclusion: Tobacco chewing has adverse effect on seminal parameters of male partners of infertile couples thus proving its pronounced role in male infertility. Severity of this effect increases as duration of tobacco chewing is prolonged.
