Sentido de coherencia y estilo de vida promotor de salud en estudiantes del noroeste de México / Sense of coherence and health-promoting lifestyle in northwest Mexico students

Resumen Objetivo: analizar el sentido de coherencia y su relación con el estilo de vida promotor de salud en estudiantes de una universidad pública en Sonora, México. Método: estudio descriptivo y correlacional, participaron 44 estudiantes de las carreras de ciencias de la computación, física y geología. Se empleó una cédula de datos sociodemográficos, la Escala Sentido de Coherencia 13 y el Cuestionario Estilo de Vida ii. Se efectuó análisis de datos con medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión, se utilizó el test chi-cuadrado y coeficiente de correlación de Spearman, con un nivel de significancia de alfa 0,05. Resultados: la edad promedio de los estudiantes fue de 20 años, 70,5% eran hombres y solteros, un 52,3% mostró sentido de coherencia global bajo predominando en hombres (54,8%). Un 56,8% obtuvo un estilo de vida promotor de salud insuficiente, mayormente en mujeres (69,2%). El sentido de coherencia tuvo correlación positiva significativa con el estilo de vida promotor de salud (p < 0,05). Conclusiones: la etapa de transición a la vida universitaria es un período importante y crítico para los estudiantes, es prioritario establecer programas de promoción y educación para la salud con enfoque salu-togénico, con el propósito de fortalecer el uso de los recursos disponibles y desarrollar un sentido de coherencia más fuerte en los estudiantes, fomentando un estilo de vida promotor de salud permanente.

Resumo Objetivo: analisar o senso de coerência e sua relação com o estilo de vida promotor de saúde em estudantes de uma universidade pública em Sonora, México. Metodologia: estudo descritivo e correlacional, 44 alunos participaram das carreiras de ciência da computação, física e geologia. Utilizou-se um cartão de dados sociodemográficos, a sense of coherence scale 13 e o lifestyle ii questionnaire. A análise dos dados foi realizada com medidas de tendência central e dispersão, utilizando-se o teste do qui-quadrado e o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, utilizando um nível de significância de alfa 0,05. Resultados: a média da idade dos estudantes foi de 20 anos, 70,5 % eram homens e solteiros, 52,3 % mostraram um senso de coerência global, predominantemente em homens (54,8 %). 56,8 % obtiveram um estilo de vida insuficiente para o promotor de saúde, principalmente mulheres (69,2 %). O senso de coerência teve uma correlação positiva significativa com o estilo de vida promotor de saúde (p < 0,05). Conclusões: a fase de transição para a vida universitária é um período importante e crítico para os alunos. É prioritário estabelecer programas de promoção da saúde e educação com uma abordagem salutogênica, com o objetivo de reforçar o uso dos recursos disponíveis e desenvolver um senso de coerência mais forte nos estudantes promovendo, assim, o desenvolvimento de um promotor vitalício da saúde.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the sense of coherence and its relationship with the health-promoting lifestyle in students of a public university in Sonora, Mexico. Methodology: descriptive and correlational study, 44 students in the careers of computer science, physics and geology participated. A socio-demographic data card, the sense of coherence scale 13 and the Lifestyle II questionnaire were used. Data analysis was performed with central trend and dispersion measurements, the chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used, using a significance level of alpha 0.05. Results: the average age of students was 20 years, 70.5 % were male and single, 52.3 % showed a low sense of overall coherence, predominantly in men (54.8 %). 56.8 % obtained an insufficient health-promoting lifestyle, mostly in women (69.2 %). The sense of coherence had a significant positive correlation with the health-promoting lifestyle (p < 0.05). Conclusions: the transition to university life is an important and critical period for students, it is a priority to establish health promotion and education programs with a salutogenic approach, with the aim of strengthening the use of the accessible resources and developing a stronger sense of coherence in students, fostering a permanent health-promoting lifestyle.

Evaluating characteristics of PROSPERO records as predictors of eventual publication of non-Cochrane systematic reviews: a meta-epidemiological study protocol.

BACKGROUND: Epidemiology and the reporting characteristics of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) are well known. However, no study has analyzed the influence of protocol features on the probability that a study's results will be finally reported, thereby indirectly assessing the reporting bias of International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) registration records. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to explore which factors are associated with a higher probability that results derived from a non-Cochrane PROSPERO registration record for a systematic review will be finally reported as an original article in a scientific journal. METHODS/DESIGN: The PROSPERO repository will be web scraped to automatically and iteratively obtain all completed non-Cochrane registration records stored from February 2011 to December 2017. Downloaded records will be screened, and those with less than 90% fulfilled or are duplicated (i.e., those sharing titles and reviewers) will be excluded. Manual and human-supervised automatic methods will be used for data extraction, depending on the data source (fields of PROSPERO registration records, bibliometric databases, etc.). Records will be classified into published, discontinued, and abandoned review subgroups. All articles derived from published reviews will be obtained through multiple parallel searches using the full protocol "title" and/or "list reviewers" in MEDLINE/PubMed databases and Google Scholar. Reviewer, author, article, and journal metadata will be obtained using different sources. R and Python programming and analysis languages will be used to describe the datasets; perform text mining, machine learning, and deep learning analyses; and visualize the data. We will report the study according to the recommendations for meta-epidemiological studies adapted from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement for SRs and MAs. DISCUSSION: This meta-epidemiological study will explore, for the first time, characteristics of PROSPERO records that may be associated with the publication of a completed systematic review. The evidence may help to improve review workflow performance in terms of research topic selection, decision-making regarding team selection, planning relationships with funding sources, implementing literature search strategies, and efficient data extraction and analysis. We expect to make our results, datasets, and R and Python code scripts publicly available during the third quarter of 2018.
