ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Valorar el patrón de uso de Internet y del teléfono móvil para conocer un posible abuso, y describir los factores relacionados con este patrón en adolescentes de 11-15 años. Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal en 8 centros de educación primaria y secundaria adscritos a un centro de salud semirrural. Muestreo bietápico, por conglomerados y sistemático, con un tamaño final de la muestra de 446 participantes. Se contemplaron variables sociodemográficas y aquellas relacionadas con el Cuestionario de experiencias relacionadas con el móvil (CERM) y el Cuestionario de experiencias relacionadas con Internet (CERI). Resultados: Se obtuvieron 446 encuestas válidas, 228 niños (51,1%) y 218 niñas (48,9%) de 11 a 15 años. Tenían móvil propio 418 (93,7%). La mediana de uso del móvil fue de 12horas entre semana y 10 el fin de semana. Lo más usado fue WhatsApp (53,6%) y redes sociales (31,4%). Se observaron criterios de uso problemático de Internet (CERI≥26) en un 15,7%, especialmente en 2.o y 3.o de ESO. Las niñas presentaron mayores valores de CERI-conflictos interpersonales (p=0,04). Respecto al uso del móvil, las niñas presentaron mayor puntuación en CERM total (p=0,001) y CERM-uso comunicacional y emocional (p=0,001). Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos sitúan un inicio precoz de los problemas por uso de Internet y el móvil probablemente relacionado con la accesibilidad a las nuevas tecnologías. Se ha observado ausencia de control parental, más uso problemático de móvil e Internet en 2.o y 3.o de ESO y en las niñas mayores puntuaciones relacionadas con uso comunicacional, emocional y conflictos interpersonales. Los hallazgos del estudio pueden ayudar a incrementar la concienciación sobre este problema, así como detectarlo de forma precoz y prevenir los efectos de la adicción a las tecnologías en adolescentes.(AU)
Objective: To assess the pattern of problematic internet and mobile use in a sample of adolescents. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study in 8 primary and secondary education centres attached to a semi-rural health centre serving 21,000 inhabitants. Two-stage, cluster and systematic sampling, with a final sample size of 446 participants. Sociodemographic variables and data related to the questionnaire for mobile phone-related experiences (CERM) and questionnaire on internet-related experiences (CERI) were collected. Results: 446 valid surveys were obtained, 228 boys (51.1%) and 218 girls (48.9%) 11 to 15 years old. A total of 418 (93.7%) had their own mobile. Median mobile usage was 12hours on weekdays and 10 at weekends. The most used platforms were WhatsApp (53.6%) and social media (31.4%). Criteria for problematic internet use (CERI>26) were observed in 15.7%, more in 2nd and 3rd ESO. Girls had higher CERI -interpersonal conflict scores (p=.04). Regarding mobile use, girls had higher scores in total CERM (p=.001) and CERM-communicative and emotional use (p=.001). Conclusions: The results indicate early onset of problems with internet and mobile use, probably related to the accessibility of the new technologies. No parental control was observed. More problematic use of mobile and internet in second and third compulsory secondary education and higher scores in the group of girls related to communication, emotional use and interpersonal conflicts were observed. The findings can help to raise awareness of this problem, detect it early and prevent the effects of addiction to technologies in adolescents.(AU)

Objetivo. Conocer la efectividad de un programa de atención domiciliaria de enfermería (PADE) administrado a pacientes con trastorno mental severo. Método. Se aplicó un ensayo clínico controlado, con grupo experimental y grupo control, y mediciones pre y postintervención. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 52 pacientes afectados por un trastorno mental severo, residentes en la ciudad de Badalona (Barcelona). El PADE (intervención) se llevo a cabo durante 1 año y para evaluar su efectividad se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos: DAI (Drug Attitude Inventory); juicio clínico global; GAF (Global Assessment of Functioning); QLS (Quality of Life Satisfaction); cuestionario de grados de insight en pacientes esquizofrénicos I-II. Los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas. Resultados. Se estudiaron 30 pacientes en el grupo experimental y 22 en el grupo control. En el grupo experimental se consiguió: a) aumentar la adherencia al tratamiento (p = 0,001); b) incrementar el grado de vinculación a los centros de salud mental (p < 0,001); c) reducir el número de reingresos y los días de reingreso (media de 14 días por año en el grupo experimental frente a 74 días por año en el grupo control); d) aumentar el nivel de calidad de vida de los pacientes, en los aspectos intrapsíquicos (p = 0,02), relacionales (p = 0,02) y de actividades cotidianas (p = 0,021), y e) incrementar ligeramente su capacidad funcional. Conclusiones. Los resultados permiten concluir que el PADE incide favorablemente en el nivel general de salud de los pacientes afectados de un trastorno mental severo
Objective. To assess the effectiveness of a home care nursing program in patients with a severe mental disorder. Method. In a year-long controlled clinical trial, 52 patients with severe mental disorder resident in the city of Badalona (Barcelona) were examined pre- and post- intervention. The following instruments were used to assess the program's effectiveness: the Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI), Global Clinical Impression (GCI), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), Quality of Life Satisfaction (QLS), and the Degrees of Insight Questionnaire in Schizophrenic Patients I-II. The data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests. Results. There were 30 patients in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. In the experimental group, the trial: a) increased patients' adherence to treatment (p = 0.001); b) enhanced the links with the mental health community center (p < 0.001); c) reduced the number of readmissions and length of hospital stay (a mean of 14 days per year in the experimental group versus a mean of 74 days per year in the control group); d) increased patients' quality of life: intrapsychic (p = 0.02), relational (p = 0.02) and everyday activities (p = 0.021); and e) achieved a slight increase in their functional capacity. Conclusions. The results suggest that the home care nursing program has a positive impact on the general health of patients with severe mental disorder
