Mood and Sleep Quality in Peruvian Medical Students During COVID-19 Pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: The prolongation and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an uncertain and devastating panorama in many populations, and the evidence shows a high prevalence of mental health problems in medical students. The objective was to evaluate the association between mood disorders and sleep quality (SQ) in Peruvian medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 310 medical students from a private university in Peru. The SQ was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while mood disorders were evaluated using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). All information was collected by online surveys and then analysed in the R programming language. RESULTS: The SQ results measured by PSQI were poor in 83.9% of the medical students. In the Poison regression analysis, the results of the bivariate analysis in men show that all mood disorders found the prevalence of poor SQ. However, in the multivariate analysis only stress (PRa=1.30; 95% CI, 1.08-1.57; P<0.01) and anxiety (PRa=1.34; 95% CI, 1.09-1.56; P <0.01) increased the prevalence of poor SQ. Women had a similar pattern in bivariate analysis, whereas in multivariate analysis, only severe stress (PRa=1.15; 95% CI, 1.01-1.29; P <0.05) increased the prevalence of poor SQ. CONCLUSIONS: This study allows us to observe the consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on medical students in Peru. It also revealed a population group vulnerable to poor quality of sleep and bad mood, which in the future will impact on health. It is suggested to educate medical students about the importance of proper sleep hygiene and the consequences of poor sleep hygiene practices.

Baixos Níveis de Atividade Física e suas Associações com o Estado de Humor, Sonolência Diurna e Consumo Alimentar em Universitários / Low Levels of Physical Activity and its Associations with Mood State, Daytime Sleepiness and Food Consumption in University Students

O ingresso em um curso universitário leva a mudanças significativas no estilo de vida e na rotina do estudante, com impacto na prática de atividade física, saúde mental, hábitos de sono e hábitos alimentares. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar o nível de atividade física dos jovens universitários e suas associações com estado de humor, qualidade do sono e consumo alimentar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de corte transversal, realizada com estudantes universitários do curso de Medicina de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Pública. Realizou-se avaliação de medidas antropométricas, do nível de atividade física (NAF) por meio do acelerômetro GT3x (Actigraph), do consumo alimentar (inventário de 24h), e utilizando os questionários de BECK e BRUMs / POMS avaliou-se os distúrbios de sono e estado de humor. Utilizando o software SPSS realizou análise comparativa com teste t Student para grupos independentes, análise inferencial de correlação de Pearson e Regressão logística binária. Dos universitários analisados (n=75), 54,7% (n=41) eram do sexo masculino e, quando comparado com as mulheres, apresentaram maior nível de atividade física (NAF). Aproximadamente 1/3 de toda a amostra do estudo realizou menos de 300min de atividade física moderada/vigorosa. O perfil alimentar dos universitários não foi satisfatório. Verificou-se para ambos os sexos o Escore Total de POMS (Profile of Mood States) se associou com universitários que realizam menos de 300min de atividade física por semana. As mulheres têm 65% mais chances de apresentar Escala de Tensão (POMS) quando são menos ativas, e nos homens, a razão de chances é de aproximadamente três vezes maior de apresentar Confusão (BRUMS - Escala de Humor de Brunel). Conclui-se que os estudantes universitários do curso estudado, em sua maioria, foram insuficientemente ativos fisicamente e apresentam algumas alterações no estado de humor, sonolência diurna e um consumo alimentar insatisfatório.

Starting a university course leads to significant changes in the student's lifestyle and routine, with an impact on physical activity, mental health, sleeping habits and eating habits. The objective of the study was to verify the level of physical activity of young university students and its associations with mood, sleep quality and food consumption. This is a cross-sectional survey, carried out with university students studying Medicine at a Public Higher Education Institution. Anthropometric measurements, physical activity level (PAL) were assessed using the GT3x accelerometer (Actigraph), food consumption (24-hour inventory), and using the BECK and BRUMs / POMS questionnaires, health disorders were assessed. sleep and mood. Using SPSS software, comparative analysis was carried out with Student's t test for independent groups, Pearson correlation inferential analysis and binary logistic regression. Of the university students analyzed (n=75), 54.7% (n=41) were male and, when compared to women, they had a higher physical activity level (PAL). Approximately 1/3 of the entire study sample performed less than 300 minutes of moderate/vigorous physical activity. The dietary profile of university students was not satisfactory. For both sexes, the POMS Total Score (Profile of Mood States) was found to be associated with university students who perform less than 300 minutes of physical activity per week. Women are 65% more likely to present with Tension Scale (POMS) when they are less active, and in men, the odds ratio is approximately three times greater for presenting Confusion (BRUMS - Brunel Mood Scale). It is concluded that the majority of university students on the course studied were insufficiently physically active and presented some changes in mood, daytime drowsiness and unsatisfactory food consumption.

Problematização sobre o Transtorno Disruptivo da Desregulação do Humor / Problematization about Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder / Problématisation du Trouble Disruptif avec Dysrégulation émotionnelle / Problematización del Trastorno de Desregulación Disruptiva del Estado de Ánimo

Este artigo se propõe a delinear, historicamente, o diagnóstico clínico do Transtorno Disruptivo da Desregulação do Humor (TDDH). Com base no método genealógico, essa categoria diagnóstica é desnaturalizada e recontextualizada em sua origem. Analisa-se o conceito de desregulação do humor a partir da escala CBCL (Childhood Behaviour Checklist), sua identificação como um transtorno bipolar da infância, posterior transformação no diagnóstico de TDDH e subsequente crítica deste, com a proposta de englobar os sintomas de desregulação do humor na infância, no diagnóstico de transtorno opositor-desafiante. Como alternativa, o artigo sugere que o humor irritadiço na infância é um estado afetivo primário, constituindo-se, assim, em uma predisposição orgânica primária. Já a regulação emocional é uma construção adaptativa, que se modela ao longo da vida, gerando apresentações subjetivas diversas.

Resumos This article historically outlines the clinical diagnosis of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Based on the genealogical method, this diagnostic category is denaturalized and recontextualized in its origin. The concept of mood dysregulation is analyzed from the Childhood Behavior Checklist scale (CBCL), its identification as a childhood bipolar disorder, subsequent transformation in the diagnosis of DMDD and subsequent criticism of it, with the proposal of encompassing the symptoms of mood dysregulation humor in childhood into the diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder. As an alternative, the article suggests that irritable mood in childhood is a primary affective state, thus, constituting a primary organic predisposition. Emotional regulation, on the other hand, is an adaptive construction, which is modeled throughout life, generating diverse subjective presentations.

Cet article retrace l'historique du diagnostic clinique du trouble disruptif avec dysrégulation émotionnelle (TDDE). Basée sur la méthode généalogique, cette catégorie diagnostique est dénaturalisée et recontextualisée dans ses origines. Le concept de dysrégulation émotionnelle est analysé à partir de l'échelle CBCL (Childhood Behavior Checklist), de son identification en tant que trouble bipolaire de l'enfance, de sa transformation ultérieure en diagnostic de TDDE et de sa critique ultérieure, avec la proposition d'inclure les symptômes de dysrégulation émotionnelle dans l'enfance dans le diagnostic du trouble oppositionnel avec provocation. Comme alternative, l'article suggère que l'humeur irritable dans l'enfance est un état affectif primaire, constituant ainsi une prédisposition organique primaire. La régulation émotionnelle, quant à elle, est une construction adaptative qui est modelée tout au long de la vie, générant diverses présentations subjectives.

Este artículo describe historicamente el diagnóstico clínico del trastorno de desregulación disruptiva del estado de ánimo (TDDEA). Con base en el método genealógico, esta categoria diagnostica se desnaturaliza y recontextualiza en su origen. Se analiza el concepto de desregulación del estado de ánimo a partir de la escala CBCL (Childhood Behavior Checklist), su identificación como trastorno bipolar pediátrico, posterior transformación en el diagnóstico de TDDEA y posterior crítica al mismo, con la propuesta de englobar los síntomas de desregulación del estado de ánimo en el diagnóstico de trastorno negativista desafiante. Como alternativa, se sugiere que el estado de ánimo de irritabilidad en la infancia es un estado afectivo primario, constituyendo una predisposición orgánica primaria. La regulación emocional, por su parte, es una construcción adaptativa, que se modela a lo largo de la vida, generando diversas presentaciones subjetivas.

Policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis: Relación con la salud autopercibida y el estado de ánimo en adolescentes de la Catalunya Central-Proyecto DESKcohort / Polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis: Relationship with self-perceived health and mood state in adolescents in Central Catalonia- DESKcohort Project

El objetivo fue estimar la prevalencia del policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis y ver su relación con la salud autopercibida y el estado de ánimo en los adolescentes escolarizados de la Catalunya Central en el curso 2019- 2020. Estudio transversal con una muestra de 7.319 estudiantes, que contestaron un cuestionario auto administrado. Las variables dependientes fueron el policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis y policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis de riesgo. Las variables independientes principales fueron la salud autopercibida y el estado de ánimo. Para el análisis de prevalencia se analizaron frecuencias y porcentajes, y se usó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado. Se ajustaron modelos de regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta, obteniendo Razones de Prevalencia. La prevalencia del policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis fue de 3,5% y del policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis de riesgo 2,5%. En los chicos, cursar un curso académico superior (4º de ESO (RPa: 3,88; IC95%:2,14-7,05) vs. CFGM (RPa: 8,67; IC95%:4,51-16,67), tener peor salud autopercibida (RPa: 4,79; IC95%:3,24-7,08) y un peor estado de ánimo (RPa: 1,47; IC95%:1,05-2,08) actúan como factores asociados con el policonsumo de tabaco y cannabis. En chicas y por consumo de riesgo de cannabis siguen un patrón similar. Entre las principales conclusiones observamos que no hay diferencias en la salud autopercibida y el estado de ánimo en el policonsumo de tabaco con cannabis y con cannabis de riesgo, por lo que deben existir estrategias de reducción de riesgos tanto si el consumo de cannabis es puntual como si el consumo de cannabis es problemático. (AU)

The objective was to estimate the prevalence of polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis and to see its relationship with self-perceived health and mood state in adolescents from Central Catalonia in the 2019-2020 academic year. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 7,319 students, who answered a self-administered questionnaire. The dependent variables were the polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis and polydrug use of tobacco and high-risk cannabis. The main independent variables were self-perceived health status and mood state. Frequencies and percentages were analyzed for the prevalence analysis, and the Chi-square test was used. Poisson regression models were adjusted with robust variance, obtaining Prevalence Ratios. The prevalence of polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis was 3.5% and polydrug use of tobacco and high-risk cannabis was 2.5%. In boys, attending higher academic courses (4th of ESO (aPR: 3.88; 95% CI: 2.14-7.05) vs. CFGM (aPR: 8.67; CI95%: 4.51-16.67), having worse self-perceived health (aPR: 4.79; CI95%: 3.24-7.08) and worse mood state (aPR: 1.47; CI95%: 1.05-2.08) act as factors associated with polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis. The results for girls, and risky use of cannabis follow a similar pattern. Among the main conclusions we observe is that there are no differences in self-perceived health and mood state when comparing polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis and polydrug use of tobacco and high-risk cannabis, so risk reduction strategies must be applied whether the use of cannabis is occasional or problematic.

Perfil de estado de ánimo y autoeficacia percibida en tareas de salto con contramovimiento en atletas cubanos de élite

Introducción: El estado de ánimo y la autoeficacia presentan estrecha relación con el rendimiento deportivo. En atletismo, contar con un control exhaustivo del entrenamiento físico y mental supone asentar las bases del máximo rendimiento, siendo el salto vertical un excelente elemento de control. Sin embargo, su relación con los aspectos psicológicos durante los entrenamientos se ha divulgado poco en la literatura. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre el perfil de estado de ánimo y la autoeficacia durante saltos verticales en deportistas juveniles de la preselección nacional cubana de atletismo. Método: Se evaluó el estado de ánimo y la autoeficacia antes de ejecutar un salto con contra movimiento (CMJ), presentándose el valor de 40 cm como elemento de máximo rendimiento en atletas de élite. Resultados: Se encontró correlación significativa entre el factor ansiedad del POMS y variables del CMJ. Además, se encontró correlación negativa entre la autoeficacia y la ansiedad, aunque no significativa (p > .05). Conclusiones: Los deportistas con un estado de ánimo de puntuación media de ansiedad, aunque no sobreelevada (puntaje 2 sobre 4) antes de la ejecución de saltos verticales, obtuvieron mejores resultados de CMJ, consiguiendo un mayor rendimiento tanto en la altura de salto, como en la velocidad, fuerza y potencia del salto. Sin embargo, no se hallaron correlaciones significativas entre la autoeficacia y el estado de ánimo, ni con variables de salto.

Introduction: Both mood and self-efficacy seem to be components closely related to the athlete's performance. In athletics, to have an exhaustive control of training from the physical and mental point of view is to lay the foundations for sporting success. Exercises such as the vertical jump are an excellent element of control of athletic performance. However, their relationship with psychological aspects during training has been little reported in the literature. Our objective was to analyze the relationship between the mood profile and self-efficacy during vertical jumps in youth athletes of the Cuban national preselection of athletics. Method: Mood and self-efficacy were evaluated before executing a countermovement jump (CMJ), presenting the 40-cm value as the element of maximum success in elite athletes. Results: A significant correlation was found between anxiogenic mood and vertical jump variables. In addition, a negative correlation was found between self-efficacy and anxiety, although not significant (p > .05). Conclusions: Athletes with a medium anxiety score mood although not overelevated (score 2 out of 4) before the execution of vertical jumps obtained better CMJ results, achieving higher performance in both jump height, speed, strength and power of the jump. However, no significant correlations were found between self-efficacy and mood, nor with the jumping variables.

Comparación de los libros de historia de vida digitales y convencionales sobre el estado de ánimo, la comunicación, la cognición y la calidad de vida en personas con demencia en residencias: un estudio piloto / Comparison of digital and conventional life story books on mood, communication, cognition and quality of life in people with dementia in nursing homes: A pilot study

Introducción: La atención centrada en la persona (ACP) incluye la historia de vida, una forma de terapia de reminiscencia que puede ser útil en el tratamiento de la demencia. Comparamos la eficacia de usar un libro de historia de vida (LHV) digital o convencional sobre los síntomas depresivos, la comunicación, la cognición y la calidad de vida. Material y métodos: Treinta y una personas con demencia que viven en 2 centros residenciales que siguen un modelo ACP fueron aleatorizadas para recibir terapia de reminiscencia basada en el LHV digital NeuralActions (n=16) o un LHV convencional (n=15). Ambos grupos realizaron 2 sesiones semanales de 45 minutos durante 5 semanas y fueron evaluadas inmediatamente antes y después de la intervención. Los síntomas depresivos se evaluaron con la escala de Cornell (CSDD); la comunicación con la escala de Holden (HCS), la cognición con el Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) y la calidad de vida con la escala de calidad de vida para el Alzheimer (QoL-AD). Los resultados se analizaron mediante ANOVA de medidas repetidas con el programa jamovi 2.3. Resultados: Ambos LHV mejoraron las capacidades de comunicación (η2=0,115; p <0,001), sin diferencias entre grupos. No se encontraron efectos sobre la calidad de vida, la cognición, o el estado de ánimo. Conclusiones: En centros que siguen un modelo ACP, los LVH digitales o convencionales pueden ser útiles en el tratamiento de personas con demencia facilitando la comunicación. Su papel sobre la calidad de vida, cognición o estado de ánimo es incierto. (AU)

Introduction: Person-centered care (PCC) includes life story, a form of reminiscence therapy that can be useful in the treatment of dementia. We compared the efficacy of using a digital or conventional life story book (LSB) on depressive symptoms, communication, cognition, and quality of life. Material and methods: Thirty one persons with dementia living in 2 PCC nursing homes were randomly assigned to receive reminiscence therapy based on the Neural Actions digital LSB (n=16) or a conventional LSB (n=15). Both groups performed 2 weekly sessions of 45min for 5 weeks. Depressive symptoms were evaluated with the Cornell scale (CSDD); communication with the Holden scale (HCS), cognition with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and quality of life with the quality of life scale for Alzheimer's (QoL-AD). The results were analyzed using ANOVA of repeated measures with the jamovi 2.3 program. Results: Both LSB improved communication skills (η2=0.115; p<0.001), with no differences between groups. No effects on quality of life, cognition, or mood were found. Conclusions: In PCC centres digital or conventional LSB can be useful in the treatment of people with dementia by facilitating communication. Its role on quality of life, cognition or mood is uncertain. (AU)

Ideación autolesiva y sùicida: aspectos psicológicos / Self-injurious and sucicidal ideation: psychological aspects

Las ideas y actos autoagresivos tienen carácter multifactorial y complejo. Hacemos a continuación una revisión bibliográfica, todo lo exhaustiva y crítica posible respecto a los pensamientos autolesivos y suicidas, con o sin psicopatología concomitante. Material y método: Desde una perspectiva principalmente psicologista se ha buscado la mejor información publicada científica de calidad, más reciente y recogida en las principales bases bibliográficas internacionales sobre: 1) La prevención de las autoagresiones; 2) Los factores emocionales y sexuales influyentes; 3) La morbilidad psicopatológica asociada con más frecuencia; y 4) Las estrategias de intervención de eficacia probada. El conjunto, limitado por el autor, de publicaciones relevantes seleccionadas es n= 75. Resultados: En los últimos años han surgido distintos indicadores médicos y psicológicos prometedores al respecto. La ideación autolesiva es frecuente en la adolescencia y se asocia con mayor malestar subjetivo y problemas emocionales o conductuales. En la vejez el suicidio es un asunto relevante de salud pública. Probablemente más de un tercio de las personas que manifiestan ideas suicidas y más de la mitad de las que intentan suicidarse hayan recibido tratamiento psiquiátrico. La calidad de las evidencias que apoyan el beneficio de las intervenciones psicoterapéuticas específicas adicionadas al tratamiento psiquiátrico habitual, empero, son de calidad moderada o baja. Conclusiones: Las variables psicológicas influyentes son importantes, aunque no determinantes. Resulta evidente la responsabilidad profesional, deontológica y legal para la mejor prevención suicida en las personas que puedan, sean, o deban ser identificadas sanitariamente como más vulnerables

Self-aggressive ideas and acts have a complex and multifactorial character. In this work, we make a bibliographic review (as critical and exhaustive as possible) regarding self-injurious and suicidal thoughts, either with or without concomitant psychopathology. Material and method: From a mainly psychologistic perspective, we havesearched for the best, most recent, high quality published scientific information that is gathered up in the main international bibliographic databases about: 1) prevention of self-aggressions; 2) emotional and sexual influencing factors; 3) psychopathological morbidity which is most frequently associated; and 4) proven-effectiveness intervention strategies. The amount of relevant publications limited and selected by the author was n= 75. Results: Several promising psychological and medical indicators in that regard have appeared in the last years. Self-injurious ideation is frequent in adolescence and is associated with greater subjective unease and emotional or behavioural problems. In old age, suicide is a relevant public health issue. More than one third of people manifesting suicidal ideas and more than the half of people attempting suicide have probably received psychiatric treatment. Nevertheless, the quality of evidence supporting the benefit of specific psychotherapeutic interventions added to habitual psychiatric treatment are of poor or moderate quality. Conclusions: Influencing psychological variables are important, although they are not determining. Legal, deontological and professional responsibility for the best suicide prevention in those people who are, may be or must be sanitary identified as more vulnerable is clear (AU)

Análise do nível de atividade física, qualidade do sono e estados de humor de comerciantes / Analyze of physical activity level, sleep quality and mood states of merchants / Analísis de nivel de actividad física, calidad del sueño y estado de ánimo de los comerciantes

Com o advento da revolução industrial, estudos mostram que o nível de qualidade do sono, estado de humor e a prática regular de atividades físicas são afetadas pela alta demanda que os indivíduos estão sujeitos para atender suas necessidades. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar os níveis da qualidade do sono, atividade física e estados de humor de comerciantes da empresa paraibana de abastecimento e serviços agrícolas. Cem comerciantes da Empasa de Campina Grande, participaram voluntariamente do estudo. Para análise do nível de atividade física dos comerciantes foi utilizado o questionário internacional de atividade física (IPAQ) versão curta, para mensurar os estados de humor foi utilizado a escala de Brunel (BRUMS) e o questionário de Pittsburgh para avaliar a qualidade de sono. Observou-se que a maioria dos comerciantes avaliados (55%) apresentam baixos níveis de atividade física. Além disso, em relação a qualidade de sono verifica-se que 69% dos comerciantes apresentaram níveis ruins de sono e 18% possuem a presença de distúrbio do sono. Verificou-se que os comerciantes apresentaram o perfil iceberg que representa uma boa saúde mental. No entanto, verifica-se alterações no perfil emocional principalmente em relação ao nível de percepção de tensão e fadiga. Conclui-se que os comerciantes apresentaram baixos níveis de atividade física e qualidade de sono ruim. Além disso, apresentam um perfil iceberg que representa boa saúde mental, mas apresentam elevação da percepção de tensão e fadiga.

With the advent of the industrial revolution, studies show that the level of sleep quality, mood and regular practice of physical activities are affected by the high demand that individuals are subject to to meet their needs. The study aimed to analyze the levels of sleep quality, physical activity and mood states of traders of the Paraíba company of supply and agricultural services. One hundred merchants from Empasa in Campina Grande voluntarily participated in the study. To analyze the level of physical activity of traders, the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used, to measure mood states, the Brunel scale (BRUMS) and the Pittsburgh questionnaire were used to assess sleep quality. It was observed that most traders evaluated (55%) have low levels of physical activity. In addition, in relation to sleep quality, 69% of traders had poor sleep levels and 18% had a sleep disorder. It was found that traders presented the iceberg profile that represents good mental health. However, there are changes in the emotional profile mainly in relation to the level of perception of tension and fatigue. It is concluded that traders had low levels of physical activity and poor sleep quality. In addition, they present an iceberg profile that represents good mental health, but they present an increase in the perception of tension and fatigue.

Con el advenimiento de la revolución industrial, los estudios demuestran que el nivel de calidad del sueño, el estado de ánimo y la práctica regular de actividades físicas se ven afectados por la alta exigencia a la que están sometidos los individuos para satisfacer sus necesidades. El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los niveles de calidad del sueño, actividad física y estado de ánimo de los comerciantes de una empresa de suministros y servicios agrícolas de Paraíba. Participaron voluntariamente del estudio cien comerciantes de Empasa de Campina Grande. Para analizar el nivel de actividad física de los comerciantes se utilizó la versión corta del Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ), la escala de Brunel (BRUMS) para medir los estados de ánimo y el cuestionario de Pittsburgh para evaluar la calidad del sueño. Se observó que la mayoría de los comerciantes evaluados (55%) presentan bajos niveles de actividad física. Además, en relación con la calidad del sueño, el 69% de los comerciantes tenía niveles de sueño deficientes y el 18% padecía algún trastorno del sueño. Se descubrió que los comerciantes presentaban el perfil del iceberg que representa una buena salud mental. Sin embargo, existen cambios en el perfil emocional principalmente en relación al nivel de percepción de tensión y fatiga. Se concluye que los comerciantes presentaban bajos niveles de actividad física y mala calidad del sueño. Además, presentan un perfil de iceberg que representa una buena salud mental, pero presentan una mayor percepción de tensión y fatiga.

Prevalência de transtornos do humor em indivíduos com doença renal crônica e impacto na qualidade de vida: revisão sistemática de literatura / Prevalence of mood disorders in individuals with chronic kidney disease and impact on quality of life: a systematic literature review / Prevalencia de trastornos del estado de ánimo en individuos con enfermedad renal crónica e impacto en la calidad de vida: revisión sistemática de la literatura

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é um problema global de saúde pública. Em países desenvolvidos, a prevalência fica entre 10 e 13% da população adulta. Já em países em desenvolvimento, os dados de prevalência são bastante limitados. Trata-se de uma comorbidade com implicações importantes em qualidade de vida, relacionada ao desenvolvimento de distúrbios do humor, principalmente transtorno depressivo. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como se dá a experiência de adoecimento de pessoas com doença renal crônica e o desenvolvimento dos sintomas depressivos, a fim de entender como essa doença interfere na qualidade de vida do indivíduo, além estabelecer a prevalência de distúrbios do humor, como depressão e ansiedade, nessa população. Este estudo é uma revisão sistemática da literatura acerca da frequência dos transtornos de humor em indivíduos com DRC, baseada nos critérios do PRISMA-P. Foram incluídos estudos observacionais transversais e longitudinais, bem como pesquisas de séries de casos publicados nos últimos dez anos. Inicialmente, foram selecionados 28 artigos por títulos. Após leitura de resumos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, foram selecionados nove artigos, que foram lidos na íntegra. Após essa etapa, foram excluídos dois, restando, portanto, sete estudos. Os principais desfechos foram depressão, ansiedade e redução na qualidade de vida em indivíduos acometidos por doença renal crônica terminal. A frequência de transtornos mentais, sobretudo depressão e ansiedade, é maior em doentes renais crônicos em comparação à população geral. Logo, torna-se necessária a criação de políticas públicas voltadas para melhoria da qualidade de vida, além do suporte em saúde mental adequado, a fim de minimizar a vulnerabilidade identificada nessa população.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health issue, reaching a prevalence of 10-13% among the adult population in developed countries. Conversely, data on CKD prevalence in developing countries is scarce. Given the impacts of this comorbidity in quality of life and association with the development of mood disorders, especially major depressive disorder, this study sought to investigate how individuals with CKD experience illness and the development of depressive symptoms, to understand how this disease interferes in quality of life, as well as to establish the prevalence of psychological disorders, such as depression, in this population. This systematic literature review on the prevalence of mood disorders in individuals with CKD followed the PRISMA-P criteria. Cross-sectional, longitudinal observational studies and case series studies published in the last 10 years were included. A total of 28 articles were selected by titles, of which nine remained after reading the abstracts and applying the inclusion criteria. These were read in full, and two more were excluded, resulting in seven studies included for review. Main outcomes were depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life in individuals with end-stage CKD. Prevalence of mental disorders, especially depression and anxiety, is higher in CKD patients compared to the general population. Thus, public policies aimed at improving quality of life and adequate mental health support are needed to minimize vulnerability in this population.

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) es un problema de salud pública mundial. En los países desarrollados la prevalencia está entre el 10 y el 13% de la población adulta. Sin embargo, en los países en desarrollo, los datos de prevalencia son bastante limitados. Esta es una comorbilidad con importantes implicaciones en la calidad de vida y está relacionada con el desarrollo de trastornos del estado de ánimo, especialmente el trastorno depresivo. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer cómo las personas con enfermedad renal crónica experimentan la enfermedad y el desarrollo de síntomas depresivos, para comprender la interferencia de esta enfermedad en la calidad de vida del individuo, además de establecer la prevalencia de trastornos del estado de ánimo, tales como depresión y ansiedad en la población en cuestión. Este estudio es una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la frecuencia de trastorno del estado de ánimo en personas con ERC, con base en los criterios del PRISMA-P. Se incluyeron a estudios observacionales, transversales y longitudinales, así como investigaciones de series de casos que habían sido publicadas en los últimos diez años. Inicialmente se seleccionaron 28 artículos por títulos. Realizada la lectura de los resúmenes y aplicados los criterios de inclusión, se seleccionaron nueve artículos, los cuales fueron leídos en su totalidad. Después, se excluyeron nueve, quedando siete estudios. Los resultados principales fueron depresión, ansiedad y reducción de la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad renal en etapa terminal. La frecuencia de trastornos mentales, especialmente depresión y ansiedad, es mayor en la enfermedad renal crónica en comparación con la población general. Por lo tanto, se hace necesaria la creación de políticas públicas para mejorar la calidad de vida y el adecuado apoyo a la salud mental, con el fin de minimizar la vulnerabilidad en esta población.

El papel de los esquemas cognitivos y la adversidad infantil en la probabilidad de desarrollar un trastorno depresivo mayor / The role of cognitive schemas and childhood adversity in the likelihood of developing Major Depressive Disorder

Abstract Introduction/objective: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a multifactorial mental health disorder. Stressful events and childhood abuse have been included in different models to explain its etiology. However, little evidence is available on how attributional style and early maladaptive schemas are related to MDD. Method: A retrospective case-control study using a three-stage hierarchical logistic model was conducted to explore the relationship between MDD and psychosocial variables such as childhood adversity, stressful life events, attributional style, and cognitive schemas in a sample of 171 individuals with a current depressive episode and 171 healthy controls. Results: Depression could be predicted by childhood adversity, an attributional style characterized by interpreting stressful events as negative and uncontrollable and the cognitive schemas in impaired autonomy/performance domains and impaired limits. Conclusions: Our results highlight the relevance of identifying cognitive factors, beyond clinical symptoms that could be useful to better understand MDD. These findings may result in better preventive programs and create awareness of the role of cognitive domains in MDD.

Resumen Introducción/objetivo: el trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM) es un trastorno de salud mental de origen multifactorial. Los eventos estresantes y el maltrato infantil se han incluido en diferentes modelos para explicar su etiología. Sin embargo, hay poca evidencia disponible sobre cómo el estilo atribucional y los dominios de esquemas maladaptativos tempranos se relacionan con el TDM. Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles utilizando un modelo logístico jerárquico de tres etapas para explorar la relación entre el TDM y variables psicosociales como la adversidad infantil, los eventos estresantes, el estilo atribucional y los esquemas cognitivos en una muestra de 171 individuos con un episodio depresivo actual y 171 controles sanos. Resultados: La depresión podría predecirse por la adversidad infantil, un estilo atribucional caracterizado por interpretar los eventos estresantes como negativos e incontrolables y los esquemas cognitivos en los dominios de autonomía/desempeño y límites deteriorados. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados resaltan la relevancia de identificar factores cognitivos, más allá de los síntomas clínicos, que podrían ser útiles para alcanzar una mejor comprensión del trastorno. Estos hallazgos favorecen el diseño de programas de prevención que enfaticen en el rol de los esquemas cognitivos.

Influencia de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y estados de ánimo en jugadores de tenis de mesa / Influence of basic psychological needs and mood states in table tennis players

Este estudio pretende conocer la relación entre los estados de ánimo en una prueba con y sin mascarilla; y, por otro lado, comprobar si existe relación entre la frustración de necesidades psicológicas básicas y la realización de un test con y sin mascarilla en jugadores de tenis de mesa. Han participado 5 jugadores veteranos, de entre 12 y 16 años. Se emplearon la Course Navette en dos momentos espaciados en 3 semanas, y los cuestionarios Profile of Mood Status (POMS) y Psychological Need Thwarting Scale (PNTS) justo al terminar la prueba. Al realizar la prueba sin mascarilla, se obtienen mayores puntuaciones del cuestionario POMS en la escala de vigor, obteniendo un mayor estado de ánimo, perfil característico del deportista psicológicamente sano. En cuanto a la frustración de necesidades psicológicas básicas, se observó una media ligeramente elevada, siendo éstas predictoras de la variable confusión del estado de ánimo. (AU)

This study aims, on the one hand, to find out the relationship between moods in a test with and without a mask; and on the other, to check if there is a relationship between the frustration of basic psychological needs and the performance of a test with and without a mask in table tennis players. 5 veteran players have participated, between 12 and 16 years old. The Course Navette was used in two moments, spaced 3 weeks apart, and the Profile of Mood Status (POMS) and Psychological Need Thinking Scale (PNTS) questionnaires just at the end of the test. When performing the test without a mask, higher scores are obtained from the POMS questionnaire on the vigor scale, obtaining a higher state of mind, a characteristic profile of a psychologically healthy athlete. Regarding the basic psychological needs. Regarding the frustration of basic psychological needs, a slightly high mean was observed, these being predictors of the variable mood confusion. KeyWords Mood; frustration; athletes; table tennis; basic psychological needs. (AU)

Creativity as a "vaccine" for depressed mood: coping and divergent thinking in young adults

El estado de ánimo deprimido es cada vez más frecuente en nuestra sociedad. Es urgente no solo explorar cómo tratar este problema sino, sobre todo, cómo prevenirlo. El pensamiento divergente puede ser útil para esa prevención. La relación entre el pensamiento divergente y el estado de ánimo depresivo en adultos jóvenes podría estar mediada por las estrategias de afrontamiento. Dos podrían ser las formas más factibles de conexión: un afrontamiento activo centrado en el problema (como la resolución de problemas o estrategias de reevaluación positivas) y la erradicación de un afrontamiento centrado en las emociones (como las estrategias de afrontamiento negativas centradas en uno mismo). El objetivo de este estudio es probar un modelo teórico que establece una relación indirecta del pensamiento divergente sobre el estado de ánimo depresivo. Los participantes fueron 135 sujetos con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 25 años. El análisis estadístico incluyó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los índices de ajuste para este modelo fueron: CFI = .951, GFI = .960, RMSEA = .067. El modelo inicial condujo a uno final avalado por su bondad del ajuste. Este modelo confirma una relación positiva entre pensamiento divergente y reevaluación positiva y un vínculo negativo entre este tipo de pensamiento y la autofocalización negativa. Ambas estrategias de afrontamiento están relacionadas con el estado de ánimo deprimido. El pensamiento divergente puede facilitar una reevaluación positiva que ayude a ampliar el repertorio de opciones en los jóvenes. También puede reducir la probabilidad de centrarse en la expresión emocional inmediata y descontrolada, los sentimientos de impotencia y resignación. De una forma u otra, el pensamiento divergente puede promover estrategias de afrontamiento que pueden servir como profilaxis para la desesperanza en adultos jóvenes que generalmente está relacionada con el estado de ánimo depresivo.(AU)

The depressed mood has more and more presence in our cur-rent society. It is urgent to explore ways not only to deal with depressed mood but also to prevent it. Divergent thinking could be useful in such prevention. Certain coping strategies could mediate the relationship be-tween divergent thinking and depressed mood. Two are the most feasible ways of connection: active problem-focused coping (like problem-solving or positive reappraisal strategies) and decreasing the odds of emotion-focused coping (like negative self-focused coping strategies). The objective of this study is to test a theoretical model that establishes the indirect rela-tionship of divergent thinking on depressed mood. Participants were 135 subjects with ages ranging between 18 and 25 years old. The statistical analysis includedstructural equations modeling. The initial model led to a final model endorsed by the goodness of fit. Comparative Fit Indices for this model were: CFI = .951, GFI = .960, RMSEA = .067. This model supports a positive relationship between divergent thinking and positive reappraisal and a negative link between this kind of thinking and negative self-focused coping. Both coping strategies are connected to depressed mood. Divergent thinking can facilitate a positive reappraisal that helps to widen youngers’ repertoire of options. It can also reduce the probability of focusing on immediate and uncontrolled emotional expression, feelings of helplessness, and resignation. In one form or another, divergent thinking can promote coping strategies that can serve as a prophylaxis for hopeless-ness in young adults that is generally related to depressed mood.(AU)

Adaptación transcultural al español de la Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) para la evaluación precoz del estado de ánimo en pacientes ingresados en una unidad de ictus / Cross-cultural adaptation to Spanish of the Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) to the early assessment of mood in patients admitted to a Stroke Unit

Introducción: La hospitalización por ictus afecta negativamente al estado de ánimo. Las guías clínicas recomiendan evaluar precozmente el estado de ánimo. Sin embargo, no existe consenso sobre la escala más apropiada en idioma español. Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es realizar una adaptación transcultural de la Signs of Depression Scale en pacientes ingresados en la unidad de ictus. Materiales y métodos: El esquema de trabajo de la adaptación transcultural al español fue: a) traducción directa; b) conciliación y síntesis de las traducciones; c) traducción inversa al inglés; d) consenso de la versión retrotraducida; e) interrogatorio cognitivo; f) revisión y versión consensuada en español; g) prueba de lectura, revisión ortográfica y gramatical, y h) versión final. Se realizó un análisis y un resumen descriptivo del proceso de adaptación transcultural. Resultados: Las versiones de traducción directa no presentaron diferencias. La versión de la traducción inversa fue aceptada por la autora del cuestionario original. Para el interrogatorio cognitivo se incluyó una muestra por conveniencia de 22 pacientes con/sin afasia a partir de la cual no se identificaron problemas en la aplicación del cuestionario. Se utilizó un lenguaje inclusivo en la versión final. Conclusiones: La versión española es equivalente al instrumento original. La adaptación transcultural de la escala permite, de forma sencilla y precoz, la evaluación del estado de ánimo en pacientes con ictus. Esta adaptación se puede incorporar en los cuidados en la unidad de ictus y es extrapolable a otros centros de habla hispana.(AU)

Introduction: Stroke hospitalization negatively affects mood. Clinical guidelines recommend early evaluation of mood disorders. However, there is no consensus on the most appropriate scale in Spanish language. Aim: The objective of the study is the cross-cultural adaptation of the Signs of Depression Scale (SODS) in patients admitted to the stroke unit of the Hospital del Mar. Materials and methods: The work scheme for transcultural adaptation into Spanish was: a) direct translation; b) reconciliation and synthesis of translations; c) reverse translation into English; d) consensus of the back-translated version with original author; e) cognitive interrogation; f) revision and consensus version in Spanish; g) reading test, spelling, and grammar check; h) final version. Analysis and descriptive summary of the adaptation process was performed. Results:. There were no differences between direct translation versions. The back-translation version was accepted by the author of the original questionnaire. A convenience sample of patients with/without aphasia (n = 22) was included for cognitive interview from which no major problems were identified in the implementation of the questionnaire. Inclusive language was used in the final version. Conclusion: The transcultural adaptation of the scale allows in a simple and early way the evaluation mood in patients admitted to the stroke unit. The Spanish version is equivalent to the original instrument. This adaptation can be incorporated into care in the Stroke Unit and is extrapolated to other Spanish-speaking centres.(AU)

La depresión y su relación con el deterioro cognitivo leve y la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Un estudio de revisión sistemática / Depression and its relationship with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease: A review study

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar si la depresión antecede al deterioro cognitivo leve (DCL) como factor de riesgo o como predictor en la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA). Se realizó una revisión sistemática de estudios observacionales (transversales y de cohorte o seguimiento) mediante el algoritmo de búsqueda PRISMA, de los marcadores clínicos en DCL y EA, en las bases de datos Science Direct, Springer, Scopus y Proquest. Los criterios de elegibilidad del estudio incluyeron como criterios inclusión: tipos de documentos, artículos de estudios primarios; tipo de fuente, revistas científicas, en idioma inglés, desde enero de 2010 hasta abril de 2020, en pacientes con DCL y EA y en el grupo de edad comprendido en personas con un rango de edad mínimo de 45años. Los criterios de exclusión fueron: las publicaciones de más de 10años (el objetivo del artículo era explorar estudios recientes), estudios de investigación secundaria, tipo de documento de informe, otros idiomas diferentes al inglés. Se identificaron 3.385 artículos, de los que finalmente se seleccionaron 30 artículos. Se encontró que existe una asociación entre la depresión y la EA, pero propiamente como un factor de riesgo, mas no como un predictor o marcador clínico del desarrollo de la EA. El grado de asociación es mayor cuando presentan sintomatología depresiva y simultáneamente reportan quejas de memoria subjetiva o la presencia de DCL. (AU)

The objective of the present study was to determine whether depression precedes Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a risk factor or as a predictor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). A systematic review of observational studies (cross-sectional and cohort or follow-up) was carried out using the PRISMA search algorithm, for clinical markers in MCI and AD, in the Science Direct, Springer, Scopus and Proquest databases. The study eligibility criteria included inclusion criteria: of types of documents, articles of primary studies, type of source scientific journals, published in the English language, from January 2010 to April 2020, in patients with MCI and AD and in the group of age included in people with a minimum age range of 45years. Exclusion criteria were: publications older than 10years because the aim of the article was to explore recent studies, secondary research studies, type of report document, languages other than English. 3385 articles were identified, of which 30 articles were finally selected. It was found that there is an association between depression and AD, but properly as a risk factor but not, as a predictor or clinical marker of the development of AD. The degree of association is greater when they present depressive symptoms and simultaneously report subjective memory complaints or the presence of MCI. (AU)

[Positive effect of bright light therapy on mood and sleep quality in institutionalized older people]. / Efecto positivo de la terapia de luz brillante sobre el estado de ánimo y la calidad del sueño en las personas mayores institucionalizadas.

INTRODUCTION: Bright light exposure during the day has a positive effect on health and its deficit can cause multiple physiological and cognitive disorders, including depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bright light therapy (BLT) on the quality of sleep and mood emotional state; cognitive status, global deterioration and quality of life in institutionalized elderly. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a study with repeated measures design. Thirty-seven older people admitted to a nursing home. The study lasted 3 weeks. The first week, the reference values were established with the Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire, Yesavage Depression Scale, Mini-Mental, Global Scale of Impairment and European Quality of Life Questionnaire. During the second week, they were exposed to BLT (7,000-10,000lx at eye level) between 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. During the third week, all the data were re-evaluated. RESULTS: All variables improved significantly after the application of light therapy. Sleep (COS) pre-test 4.1±1.49, post-test 4.9±1.46, p: 0.01), mood (pre-test 3.65±2.78, post-test 2.65±2.9, p: 0.01), cognitive state (pre-test 22.72±6.53, post-test 24±5.92, p: 0.001), state of global deterioration (pre-test 3.10±1.26, post-test 2.72±5.92, p: 0.001) and health-related quality of life (pre-test 6.93±1.86, post-test 7.82±1.62, p: 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Sleep quality, mood, cognitive status, global deterioration status and quality of life significantly improved after the application of light bright therapy.

Effect of physical and sexual violence during childhood and/or adolescence on the development of menstrual related mood disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis / Efecto de la violencia física y sexual durante la infancia y/o la adolescencia en el desarrollo de trastornos del estado de ánimo relacionados con la menstruación: Una revisión sistemática y metaanálisis

Abstract Background Abuse in early life stages has been proposed as an etiological risk factor for developing menstrually-related mood disorders (MRMDs). Objetive To evaluate whether there is a relation between the occurrence of physical and/or sexual violence in childhood and/or adolescence and the development of MRMDs in adulthood. Method A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, with the route ("Premenstrual Syndrome"[Mesh]) OR ("Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder"[MeSH]) AND ("Violence"[Mesh]) / ("menstrually-related mood disorders" AND "abuse"). Fifty-four articles were initially reviewed and 32 were excluded based on the criteria. Twenty-two articles were thoroughly reviewed. Finally, five articles (publication years 2014, 2013, 2012, 2007, and 2003) were included in the systematic review and submitted to a meta-analysis. Results Results indicate that having been exposed to physical and/or sexual violence in childhood and/or adolescence increases 1.99 times the risk of experiencing MRMDs in adulthood in comparison with women who did not experience that type of violence (odds ratio [OR] = 1.99; 95% confidence interval [1.58, 2.51]). Discussion and conclusion The present work provides evidence that a woman who experienced violence through physical and/or sexual abuse during childhood and/or adolescence has a greater risk of developing MRMDs in adulthood.

Resumen Antecedentes El abuso en las etapas tempranas de la vida se ha propuesto como un factor de riesgo etiológico para desarrollar trastornos del estado de ánimo relacionados con la menstruación (TEARM). Objetivo Evaluar si existe una relación entre la ocurrencia de violencia física y/o sexual en la infancia y/o la adolescencia y el desarrollo de MRMD en la edad adulta. Método Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en PubMed, Web of Science y ScienceDirect con la ruta ("Premenstrual Syndrome"[Mesh]) OR ("Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder"[MeSH]) AND ("Violence"[Mesh]) / ("menstrually-related mood disorders" AND "abuse"). Cincuenta y cuatro artículos fueron revisados inicialmente y 32 fueron excluidos con base en los criterios establecidos. Veintidós artículos fueron revisados exhaustivamente. Por último, se incluyeron cinco artículos (años de publicación 2014, 2013, 2012, 2007 y 2003) en la revisión sistemática, y cinco de ellos fueron sometidos a un metaanálisis. Resultados Los resultados indican que haber estado expuesta a violencia física y/o sexual en la niñez y/o la adolescencia aumenta 1.99 veces el riesgo de experimentar TEARM en la edad adulta en comparación con las mujeres que no experimentaron ese tipo de violencia (odds ratio [OR] = 1.99; intervalo de confianza del 95% [1.58-2.51]). Discusión y conclusión El presente trabajo aporta evidencia de que una mujer que experimentó violencia por abuso físico y/o sexual durante la niñez y/o la adolescencia tiene un mayor riesgo de desarrollar TEARM en la edad adulta.
