[Impact of social network use on anorexia and bulimia in female adolescents: a systematic review].

Systematic review of published studies on the impact of social networks (SN) use on anorexia and bulimia in female adolescents. We selected articles published over the past 10 years, written in English, Spanish or Portu-guese found in The Cochrane Library Plus, PubMed, WOS, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases and with enough methodological quality. Nine studies were included in this review with a sample of 2,069 adolescents; 75.3% were female, mean age was 18 years, and mostly used Facebook and Instagram. Despite some positive aspects, SNs promote beauty standards in terms of thinness, allow comparisons between peers increasing concerns about weight, and create spaces that encourage anorexia and bulimia. Therefore, SN use plays a role in the development of eating disorders. The promotion of extreme thinness in girls makes this population more vulnerable.

Influencia de las redes sociales sobre la anorexia y la bulimia en las adolescentes: una revisión sistemática / Impact of social network use on anorexia and bulimia in female adolescents: a systematic review

Se realizó una revisión sistemática de los estudios que han investigado la influencia de las redes sociales (RRSS) sobre las adolescentes en relación a la anorexia y bulimia nerviosa. Se seleccionaron artículos publicados en inglés, español o portugués en las bases de datos The Cochrane Library Plus, PubMed, WOS, PsycINFO y Scopus en los diez últimos años, con calidad suficiente. Se incluyeron nueve estudios con una muestra de 2.069 adolescentes (75,3% mujeres) de edad media 18 años, que utilizaban principalmente Facebook e Instagram. A pesar de algunos aspectos positivos, las RRSS promueven cánones de belleza basados en la delgadez, permiten la comparación entre iguales incrementando la preocupación por el peso, y crean espacios que fomentan los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Por tanto, las RRSS influyen en el desarrollo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria y al promover la extrema delgadez en las chicas, las hace más vulnerables.(AU)

Las unidades de cuidados intensivos son lugares hostiles que se deben acondicionar a las necesidades de los pacientes y familiares, para esto se deben conocer los factores que influyen en la satisfacción de estos. Objetivo Actualizar el conocimiento sobre la satisfacción de los pacientes ingresados en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de adultos y la de sus cuidadores familiares descritos en la literatura científica. Metodología Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistematizada en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, Cinahl y WOS. Estrategia de búsqueda: «Personal Satisfaction» and (patients or caregivers) and «Intensive Care Units». Criterios de inclusión: Estudios publicados entre 2013-2018, población entre 19-64 años, idioma inglés y castellano. Resultados Se localizaron 760 estudios y se seleccionaron 15. Los factores que generan satisfacción son: Buena comunicación con los profesionales (n = 5), calidad de cuidados (n = 4) y limpieza y ambiente de la unidad (n = 2). Los factores que producen insatisfacción son: Infraestructura de las salas de espera (n = 5), inadecuada comunicación (n = 4) y la implicación de familiares y pacientes en la toma de decisiones (n = 4). Como estrategias de mejora encontramos el entrenamiento de los profesionales (n = 5), inclusión familiar durante el proceso (n = 2) y rediseño de las salas de espera (n = 2). Conclusiones Entre los factores generadores de satisfacción hallamos los relacionados con los profesionales y con el ambiente y limpieza. Los que causan insatisfacción se relacionan con una mala infraestructura, falta de implicación en la toma de decisiones de pacientes y familiares y mala comunicación con los profesionales. Las estrategias para mejorar la satisfacción de los pacientes y familiares están relacionadas con la organización, los profesionales, los familiares y con la infraestructura y ambiente. (AU)

[Non-drug treatments for chronic non-malignant pain: patients' perceptions].

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of chronic pain in Spain is 17%. There is a need for more scientific data on non-drug treat-ments that can be effectively used to treat chronic pain. The aim of this study is to analyze how patients with chronic non-malignant pain perceive non-drug approaches. METHOD: Mixed, descriptive and phenomenological study. Nineteen patients enrolled in a workshop on pain management and non-drug treatments that consisted of four sessions (one session a week). Each session lasted four hours. The patients then participated in a reflective writing activity about their personal experiences. Data from this activity was then ana-lyzed. Atlas.ti 8 software was used for the qualitative data analysis. RESULTS: Sixteen participants tried an alternative therapy and fourteen assessed its benefits. The participants' expecta-tions were divided into three groups of similar size: relief from physical pain, emotional pain management and tools for use in daily life. All the participants were satisfied with the workshop. Perceived personal benefits were better pain and sleep management, reduced fatigue, reduced drug consumption; a more positive approach to life, better mood, more positive energy, more motivation and improved capacity to cope. CONCLUSIONS: The participants commented that the workshop had helped them to reduce pain levels and consume to fewer analgesics, and had reduced other symptoms associated with chronic disease, thus improving their perceived health. They also expressed great satisfaction with the organization and teachers.

[Screening for Chagas disease in pregnancy and newborns in Andalusia (Spain)]. / Cribado de Chagas en embarazo y neonato en Andalucía (España).

BACKGROUND: To determine the current state of the implementation of Chagas screening in pregnancy and newborns at risk in the eight Andalusian provinces. METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out through a survey reviewed and validated by experts from the Andalusian Group of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunology. Eighteen pediatric infectious disease specialists from Andalusian referral hospitals (fourteen public and four private) participated. RESULTS: The Chagas screening during pregnancy was known by seventeen specialists (94%), and systema-tically applied in seven hospitals (38.9%) by gynecologists or midwives. The protocol for following-up newborns at risk was known by sixteen specialists (88.9%) and applied in ten hospitals (55.5%), two of which did not study siblings and relatives of these newborns. Only two cases of vertical transmission of Chagas (11.1%) were detected; it happened in two hospitals applying systematically the Chagas screening to pregnant woman at risk, the same ones that also diagnosed two cases in siblings of newborns at risk. CONCLUSION: In Andalusia screening of Chagas disease in pregnant women and newborns at risk is not carried out in a systematic and uniform way in all the reference hospitals, so an underdiagnosis of congenital Chagas disease is highly probable. The training of professionals involved in assisting pregnant women and their offspring, and the unification of the follow-up criteria for newborns at risk would be essential for carrying out both a correct diagnosis and an early treatment of these cases.

[Analysis of the effectiveness of assisted reproduction techniques]. / Análisis de la eficacia de las técnicas de reproducción asistida.

There are a high number of people affected by infertility who require assisted reproduction techniques. For this reason the aim of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of the interventions carried out using these techniques. A systematic peer review was performed on twelve databases. Inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials, published between 2011 and 2016, and with a score greater than two on the Jadad scale. The pharmacological interventions that proved effective were the administration of hormones, intrauterine human chorionic gonadotropin, gonadotrophin and dehydroepiandrosterone, and metformin. An effective surgical intervention, endometrial scratching, was identified. No effective non-pharmacological interventions were found. Assisted reproduction techniques show heterogeneity in both the interventions included and effectiveness criteria (pregnancy rate, live birth rate or implantation rate), which makes a unification of criteria necessary.

[Health problems of family caregivers of people over 65 suffering from chronic renal failure: a systematic review]. / Problemas de salud de los cuidadores familiares de personas mayores de 65 años afectadas de insuficiencia renal crónica: una revisión sistemática.

Chronic renal insufficiency demands specific, continuous and varied care, which affects the health of family caregi-vers. Therefore, we propose to determine the health problems of family caregivers who care for patients over 65 years with chronic renal failure, due to increased risk and prevalence from this age onwards. For this purpose, we made a systematic review of the scientific literature on different national and international databases in the last ten years. Nine-teen studies were selected. These refer to the influence of the severity of the burden and lower quality of life of these caregivers. Psychological disorders are the health problems that are most mentioned. This knowledge may serve for developing strategies for a socio-medical approach, which might lead to improved quality of life, not only of caregivers but also of patients.
