El tratamiento psicológico del insomnio durante la infancia: Una revisión paraguas / The psychological treatment of insomnia during childhood: An umbrella review

El insomnio es un problema muy frecuente en niños y adolescentes y está relacionado con numerosos resultados negativos. La evidencia sobre lasintervenciones psicológicas efectivas en el tratamiento del insomnio infantil ha ido en aumento, pero carece de una síntesis exhaustiva de los hallazgos. Por ello, realizamos una revisión sistemática de revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones psicológicasen el tratamiento del insomnio infantil. Se realizaron búsquedas en la base de datos PsycINFO, hasta julio de 2022, mediante una combinaciónde palabras clave. Los datos fueron extraídos de forma independiente por las dos autoras y se presentó una síntesis de los resultados. La calidadmetodológica fue evaluada de forma independiente por las dos autoras, utilizando AMSTAR-2. Se incluyeron cuatro artículos que informaron, engeneral, sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones psicológicas para disminuir los síntomas de insomnio durante la infancia y adolescencia, tanto acorto como a largo plazo. Las revisiones incluidas fueron calificadas con una calidad metodológica baja, lo que debilita la evidencia de los resultados reportados. Se encontró que actualmente la Terapia Cognitivo Conductual es la intervención psicológica más basada en la evidencia y la másefectiva, independientemente del formato de tratamiento. Se necesitan realizar más ensayos clínicos aleatorios de alta calidad. (AU)

Insomnia is a very common problem in children and adolescents andis associated with numerous negative outcomes. Evidence for effective psychological interventions in the treatment of childhood insomnia has beenincreasing, but lacks a comprehensive synthesis of findings. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyseson the effectiveness of psychological interventions in the treatment of childhood insomnia. We searched the PsycINFO database, until July 2022, using a combination of keywords. Data were extracted independently by the two authors and a synthesis of the results was presented. Methodologicalquality was assessed independently by the two authors using AMSTAR-2. Four articles were included that reported, in general, on the effectivenessof psychological interventions to decrease insomnia symptoms during childhood and adolescence, both in the short and long term. The includedreviews were rated with low methodological quality, which weakens the evidence for the reported results. CBT was currently found to be the mostevidence-based and effective psychological intervention, regardless of treatment format. More high-quality randomized clinical trials are needed. (AU)

Conducta suicida y periodo perinatal: entre el tabú y la incomprensión / Suicidal behavior and the perinatal period: taboo and is understanding

El suicidio es la primera causa de muerte de las mujeres durante el periodo perinatal, que comprende desde el embarazo hasta un año después del parto. Hay apoyo empírico suficiente para afirmar que las mujeres embarazadas tienen mayor ideación suicida que su correspondiente grupo de comparación en la población general. A pesar de estos datos, este tipo de problemas no suelen ni prevenirse ni reconocerse adecuadamente. Sin embargo, si las disonancias y dilemas asociados a la maternidad, así como los problemas de salud mental, no se previenen o se abordan adecuadamente, éstos pueden afectar al bienestar de las mujeres, al de sus hijos y al de otros miembros de la familia. Se exponen los factores implicados en la conducta suicida de este grupo de mujeres, así como algunas directrices generales de actuación. Se reclama la necesaria puesta en marcha de estrategias de prevención. (AU)

Suicide is the leading cause of death for women during the perinatal period, which commences in pregnancy and finishes one year after delivery. Empirical evidence from previous studies shows that pregnant women have greater suicidal ideation than their comparison group in the general population. However, there is a tendency for these problems to be neither prevented nor adequately recognized. Nevertheless, if the dissonancesand dilemmas associated with motherhood, as well as mental health problems, are not prevented or adequately addressed, they can affect thewell-being of women, their children, and other family members. Risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior in this group of women are discussed, as well as general principles of action. The need for the implementation of prevention strategies is highlighted. (AU)

Effectiveness of psychological interventions in the treatment of perinatal depression: A systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

BACKGROUND: Perinatal depression is a high prevalent mental health problem with serious consequences. Evidence about effective psychological interventions in treating perinatal depression has been increasing, but it lacks a comprehensive synthesis of findings. METHODS: A systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses concerning the effectiveness of psychological interventions in treating perinatal depression (depression during pregnancy and the first 12 months postpartum) in adult women was conducted. The electronic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Prospero were searched, on May 2020, using a combination of keywords. Data were independently extracted by two authors and a synthesis of the results was presented. Methodological quality was independently assessed by two authors, using AMSTAR-2. RESULTS: Seven systematic reviews were included and reported, overall, the effectiveness of psychological interventions in decreasing depressive symptoms in women in the perinatal period, both short and long-term. CBT was found to be the most effective intervention, regardless of the treatment format. LIMITATIONS: Grey literature was not searched, and some studies may overlap among the included systematic reviews. These (the included reviews) were rated with low methodological quality, which weakens the evidence of the reported results. CONCLUSIONS: CBT is currently the most evidence-based psychological intervention, provided in different delivery formats (individual, group, face-to-face or Internet-based). Further studies, including systematic reviews, with other types of psychological interventions (e.g., third-wave CBT) and with higher quality are needed.

Validation of the generalized anxiety disorder screener (gad-7) in Spanish pregnant women / Validación de la Escala de Cribado del Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizado (GAD-7) en mujeres embarazadas españolas

BACKGROUND: Anxiety during pregnancy is one of the most common mental health problems and a significant risk factor for postpartum depression. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is one of the most widely used self-report measures of anxiety symptoms available in multiple languages. This study evaluates the psychometric properties and underlying factor structures of the Spanish GAD-7 among pregnant women in Spain. METHOD: Spanish-speaking pregnant women (N = 385) were recruited from an urban obstetrics setting in Northern Spain. Women completed the GAD-7 and the anxiety subscale of the Symptom Checklist (SCL90-R) at three time points, once per trimester. The reliability, concurrent validity, and factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties and factor structure, respectively. RESULTS: In the first trimester, the GAD-7 demonstrated good internal consistency (a = 0.89). GAD-7 is positively correlated with SCL90-R (anxiety subscale; r = 0.75; p < 0.001). The proposed one-factor structure is found using exploratory factor analysis -FACTOR program - with Unweighted Least Squares procedure and optimal implementation of parallel analysis (GFI = 0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Health providers should screen for anxiety using the GAD-7 during pregnancy among urban Spanish-speaking samples to provide appropriate follow-up care

ANTECEDENTES: la ansiedad durante el embarazo es uno de los problemas de salud más comunes y un factor de riesgo para la depresión posparto. El Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada-7 es una de las medidas de autoinforme de síntomas de ansiedad más utilizadas en varios idiomas. Este estudio evalúa las propiedades psicométricas y la estructura factorial del GAD-7 español en mujeres embarazadas. MÉTODO: se reclutaron mujeres embarazadas (N = 385) de un entorno de obstetricia urbana en el norte de España. Las mujeres completaron el GAD-7 y la subescala de ansiedad del SCL90-R en tres puntos temporales. La fiabilidad, la validez concurrente y los análisis factoriales se realizaron para evaluar las propiedades psicométricas y las estructuras factoriales, respectivamente. RESULTADOS: en la primera toma de medidas el GAD-7 demostró una buena consistencia interna (a = 0.89). GAD-7 se correlaciona positivamente con SCL90-R (subescala de ansiedad; r = 0.75; p < 0.001). Mediante análisis factorial exploratorio - programa FACTOR, extracción de factores de mínimos cuadrados no ponderados, análisis paralelo con implementación óptima - se obtiene una estructura unifactorial (GFI = 0.99). CONCLUSIONES: los profesionales deberían evaluar la ansiedad usando el GAD-7 durante el embarazo entre muestras urbanas de habla hispana para brindar atención adecuada

The Psychometric Properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 for Pregnant Women.

Background: Perinatal anxiety and depression are common complications during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to examine the item characteristics, reliability, validity, and factorial structure of the four-item Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) and to determine the associations between scale scores and sociodemographic factors in a sample of pregnant women from Spain. Method: A total of 845 pregnant women were recruited from two public hospitals in Spain between 2014 and 2016. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire that included Patient Health Questionnaire-4, including the two-item Patient Health Questionnaire and the two-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener. Results: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and scale inter-correlations between the PHQ-4 and PHQ-9 revealed that the PHQ-4 has a bivariate structure and adequately assesses the dimensions of antenatal anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The PHQ-4 is a reliable and valid instrument to screen for depression and anxiety during pregnancy. The PHQ-4 is an ultra-brief measure that can be used to screen for antenatal depression and anxiety to prevent the negative consequences associated with these mental health conditions among mothers and infants.

Emerging issues and questions on peripartum depression prevention, diagnosis and treatment: a consensus report from the cost action riseup-PPD.

BACKGROUND: Peripartum depression [PPD] is a public health problem which has been widely studied. Nonetheless, study findings and clinical guidelines for PPD treatment differ among countries and the condition is still underdiagnosed and undertreated, suggesting the importance of a global understanding of PPD. The Riseup-PPD Cost Action aims to establish a Pan-European and multidisciplinary network of researchers dedicated to the global understanding of PPD. METHODS: A literature search was performed in different databases (e.g., Medline, PsychInfo) including a combination of terms related with PPD diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cost-effectiveness of its management. A narrative synthesis of the literature, together with a critical overview of the current issues/questions to be addressed within the topic of PPD were performed. RESULTS: Emerging issues include challenges regarding definition and timing of PPD; heterogeneity in severity, timing of onset and assessment tools; comparative effectiveness of preventive and treatment interventions; help seeking for PPD; improving health professional's awareness of PPD; and cost-effectiveness of PPD management. LIMITATIONS: The main limitation is the non-systematic nature of the literature search. CONCLUSIONS: The Riseup-PPD network will deal with these challenges through four lines of action: (1)provide an updated and comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge that can contribute to inform clinical recommendations and guidelines for PPD management; (2) clarify inconsistent findings concerning diagnosis, prevention and treatment of PPD; (3) develop new lines of research in the field of PPD; and (4) develop international recommendations for PPD diagnosis, prevention and treatment, ultimately influencing maternal mental health policymaking at global and local levels.

The Prevalence and Risk Factors for Antenatal Depression Among Pregnant Immigrant and Native Women in Spain.

Introduction: The aim was to examine the risk factors of anternatal depression among immigrant and native pregnant women in Spain. Method: A total of 1,524 pregnant women completed the Patient Health Questionnaire and the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised form. Results: The native group reported a lower prevalence (15.2%) compared with immigrant group (25.8%). For immigrants, primiparity, moving, and perceived lack instrumental support from friends or emotional support from partners and family members were significant risk factors. Discussion: The study identified risk factors that can be used for preventive interventions during pregnancy. Significance: Screening and interventions for depression during pregnancy should take migration status into account to maximize effective health care. Also, health providers should consider how migration status can result in different risk factors that affect depression during pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: Prenatal depression is a major public health problem, therefore predicting and preventing it is a relevant objective for public health agendas. Consequently, it is important to have adequate screening tools to detect risk factors associated with prenatal depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties reliability and factor structure of the Spanish version of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory- Revised- Prenatal Version (PDI-R) in pregnant women who attend prenatal care in an urban hospital in Spain. METHODS: The sample was formed of 445 women receiving prenatal care in an obstetrics clinic in an urban public hospital in Madrid, Spain. The internal consistency of PDPI-R was assessed by measuring Cronbach's Alfa index, calculating the COR curve and percentiles for this sample. RESULTS: The PDPI-R showed good internal consistency in this sample (Cronbach's Alfa = 0,855). The area under the COR curve is 0,84 p≤0,001. Sensibility and specificity values were 62,3% and 69,5% respectively, and the cut-off point with greatest sensibility and specificity was 4. CONCLUSIONS: The PDPI-R is reliable and can be used to screen for risk factor for depression during pregnancy.

[PHQ-2 as First Screening Instrument of Prenatal Depression in Primary Health Care, Spain]. / PHQ-2 como primer instrumento de cribado de la depresión prenatal.

OBJECTIVE: Prenatal depression is a major public health problem that is barely treated. Based on existing literature, depression during this period is associated with negative consequences for the mother and the baby. Therefore it is important to make an adequate screening in this population. The aim of this study was to determine the discriminant validity and cut-off of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) as a screening tool to identify the depression in pregnant women living in Spain. METHODS: The sample included 1,019 female participants, aged between 19 and 45 years, who participated voluntarily, and received prenatal care during the first trimester. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, PHQ-2 andPHQ-9. The research has been developed within the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at two public hospitals in two different Spanish Regions. The research was conducted between 2014 and 2016 performing a ROC curve analysis to determine the discriminative capacity and cut-off for PHQ-2. RESULTS: 11,1 % out of 1019 participants were diagnosed with depression. The area under the curve of PHQ-2 was 0,84 p smaller than 0,001. With the cutoff 2 the sensitivity and specificity of 85,4 % and 79,5% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A score Equal or greater than 2 is an appropriate cut-off in PHQ-2 to detect depression during pregnancy. The use of PHQ-2 could precede PHQ-9 as a brief screening tool for antenatal depression in obstetric settings.

OBJETIVO: La depresión prenatal es un importante problema de salud pública que apenas recibe tratamiento. La depresión durante este período está asociada con consecuencias negativas tanto para la madre como para el bebé. Por ello, es importante realizar un cribado adecuado en mujeres embarazadas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la capacidad discriminativa y el punto de corte del cuestionario PHQ-2 como primer instrumento de cribado para identificar la depresión en mujeres embarazadas que viven en España. METODOS: Participaron voluntariamente 1.019 mujeres, de edad comprendida entre los 19 y los 45 años, que acudieron a revisión obstétrica en el primer trimestre del embarazo. Las participantes completaron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y los cuestionarios PHQ9 y PHQ2. La investigación fue desarrollada en dos hospitales públicos de dos comunidades autónomas diferentes. Se llevó a cabo entre los años 2014 y 2016. Se realizó un análisis con curva ROC para determinar la capacidad discriminativa y el punto de corte del PHQ-2. RESULTADOS: De las 1.019 participantes el 11,1% fueron diagnosticadas de depresión. El área bajo la curva del PHQ2 fue de 0,84 p menor que 0,001. Con el punto de corte de 2 la sensibilidad y especificidad fueron de 85,4% y 79,5% respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES: La puntuación de corte mayor o igual 2 es adecuada para la discriminación de la depresión durante el embarazo mediante el cuestionario PHQ2 y podría servir como cribado previo al PHQ-9.

El cuestionario general de salud (GHQ-28) en pacientes con fibromialgia: propiedades psicométricas y adecuación / The general health questionnaire (GHQ-28) in patients with fibromyalgia: Psychometric characteristics and adequacy

La fibromialgia es un síndrome que incluye síntomas como dolor generalizado musculoesquelético, problemas emocionales y cognitivos, así como dificultades de adaptación. El Cuestionario General de Salud (GHQ-28) ha sido ampliamente usado, aunque apenas existen datos sobre su utilización en pacientes de fibromialgia. Se han estudiado 301 pacientes de esta patología, analizándose la bondad del cuestionario y su estructura y obteniéndose altos niveles en ansiedad (X=1.5), disfunción social (X=1.56) y síntomas somáticos del GHQ-28 (X=1.67). La fiabilidad es adecuada (α de Cronbach = .94). La estructura factorial analizada de cuatro factores se ajusta a la propuesta por los autores del cuestionario. Se concluye que el GHQ-28 ha sido útil para explorar la sintomatología psicológica en los pacientes de fibromialgia

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that involves multiple symptoms, including widespread musculoskeletal pain, emotional and cognitive problems, and adjustment difficulties. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) has been widely used, even if little data exist on its use in patients with fibromyalgia. A sample of 301 patients with fibromyalgia was studied, analyzing the goodness of the questionnaire and its structure. High anxiety levels (X = 1.5), social dysfunction (X= 1.56) and somatic symptoms of GHQ-28 (X= 1.67) were obtained. The reliability is adequate (Cronbach's α = .94) and the factor structure of four factors analyzed conforms to that proposed by the authors of the questionnaire. The conclusion is that GHQ-28 has been useful to explore the psychological symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia

Estructura y adecuación del Inventario de Depresión de Beck en pacientes con fibromialgia / Structure and adequacy of the Beck Depression Inventory in patients with fi bromyalgia

El inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI) es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado para la medida de la depresión en dolor crónico. Sin embargo, no existen estudios que analicen la estructura y adecuación del uso del BDI en estos pacientes. En este trabajo se han realizado análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios de los resultados del BDI en una muestra de 300 pacientes de fibromialgia. La estructura factorial exploratoria del BDI plantea tres factores que incluyen los síntomas cognitivos, afectivos y somáticos. Los análisis de ecuaciones estructurales realizados para confirmar el ajuste de os datos de esta muestra a los modelos recogidos en la literatura para el dolor crónico no han resultado significativos. Estos resultados parecen señalar que existen diferencias entre las manifestaciones depresivas de este tipo de pacientes y los de dolor crónico. Además, la peculiar estructura del BDI en esta muestra de pacientes parece indicar un solapamiento entre algunos síntomas depresivos y los síntomas de fibromialgia, que podría conducir a una sobreestimación de la ocurrencia de depresión, cuando ésta se mide con el BDI, sesgo que debería ser valorado y modificado (AU)

The Beck Depression inventory is a widely used instrument for the measurement of depression in chronic pain. However, there are no studies that analyze the structure and adequacy of the use of the BDI in these patients. In this work, we have carried out exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the results of the BDI in a sample of 300 patients with fibromyalgia. The factor structure of the exploratory BDI yields three factors that include cognitive, emotional and somatic symptoms. The structural equation analyses carried out to confirm the fit of the data in this sample with the models of chronic pain presented in the literature were not significant. These results indicate that there are differences between the depressive manifestations of this type of patients and those with chronic pain. In addition, the peculiar structure of the BDI in this sample of patients seems to indicate an overlap between some depressive symptoms and the symptoms of fibromyalgia, which could lead to an overestimation of the occurrence of depression when measured with the BDI, a bias that should be assessed and modified (AU)

Estrés de rol, implicación con el trabajo y Burnout en soldados profesionales españoles / Role stress, job involvement and burnout in Spanish professional soldiers

Este estudio analiza la relación entre el estrés de rol y el burnout y el papel modulador de la implicación con el trabajo en una muestra de 779 soldados profesionales del ejército español. Losresultados encontrados muestran que el conflicto, la ambigüedad de rol y las dos dimensiones de la implicación con el trabajo se relacionan significativamente y en la dirección esperada con lostres síntomas del burnout. Además, la identificación psicológica con el trabajo reduce el burnout, mientras que, al contrario, los sentimientos de deber-obligación lo potencian. Sin embargo, encontra de lo esperado, la implicación con el trabajo no es una variable moduladora de la relaciónentre el estrés de rol y el burnout.

This study analyzes the relationship between role stress and burnout and the modulating role of the job involvement in the aforementioned relationship using a sample consisting on 779 professional soldiers of the Spanish Army. The results show that the conflict, the roleambiguity and the two dimensions of job involvement are significantly related and it is in the expected direction with the three symptoms of burnout. In addition, the psychologicalidentification with the job reduces burnout, whereas, on the contrary, the must-obligation feelings boost it. Nevertheless, against the hoped result, the job involvement is not a modulatorvariable of the relation between the role stress and burnout.
