RESUMO
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has worsened the physical and mental health of the general population. Healthcare workers have a high risk of suffering a mental disorder after the first wave. In this way, psychologists, who deal with mental health issues and are considered as healthcare workers in many countries, are of interest in this context. The present study aimed to examine anxiety, depression, stress, and obsessions and compulsions across psychologists, healthcare professionals, and the general community. These variables were measured through the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), as well as the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), which are related to different sociodemographic variables. The study was carried out after the first wave in Spain through an online questionnaire. Structural equation modeling and a multigroup analysis were carried out across the groups and variables under study. The results suggested that; (i) healthcare workers and general community depicted similar results in anxiety and stress, as well as obsessions; (ii) the group of psychologists depicted better scores than the other groups under study; (iii) stress and anxiety did not predict compulsions in the group of psychologists; (iv) anxiety predicted obsessions for all the professions, while the relationship of this variable with stress was different for each group; and (v) invariance reached a full metric level.
RESUMO
La presente investigación analiza el papel de los medios de comunicación y, en particular, la prensa especializada dirigidas a adolescentes y jóvenes estudiando el tratamiento de las drogodependencias en las Revistas Cuore y Bravo por ti en el período de Agosto- Octubre de 2012, realizando también un análisis comparativo con los resultados de la investigación precedente desarrollada en 2008 y 2009. En el estudio se ha realizado un análisis de contenido basado en la metodología de Bardin (1986). El número de textos es reducido en Bravo por ti, lo que llama la atención dada la problemática del consumo, especialmente en sustancias como la cocaína, alcohol y cannabis. El tratamiento es diferente en los dos medios y casi la totalidad de los textos analizados corresponden a Cuore, encontrando en Bravo por ti una espiral del silencio en el tratamiento de las drogas, siendo paradójico a tenor de los datos preocupantes de la temprana edad de inicio en el consumo de drogas. Además, las imágenes con personajes que son ídolos juveniles en situaciones de consumo (especialmente referidas a la ingesta de alcohol) es elevada en la revista Cuore, ofreciendo una visión frívola del consumo de drogas, siendo especialmente significativo en el caso del alcohol y el tabaco. Por otra parte, se observa una carencia de textos y espacio publicitario que aborde contenidos relativos a la prevención
This piece of research analyzes the role of the media, specifi cally the specialized press targeting young people and teenagers. It studies the way in which drug addiction is presented in the magazines Cuore and Bravo por ti, in a period of time from August to October 2012. It also makes a comparative analysis with the results of an earlier piece of research undertaken in 2008 and 2009. The methodology used in this paper was based on the content analysis of Bardin (1986). It is important to notice the small number of texts about drug consumption in Bravo por ti, especially regarding substances like cocaine, alcohol and cannabis. There is a different perspective in both media: Almost all the analyzed texts come from Cuore, whereas a spiral of silence on the drug topic was found in Bravo por ti, which is rather curious if the early age of drug consumption is considered. In addition to this, the number of pictures of celebrities consuming drugs (especially alcohol) in Cuore is considerable. The magazine offers a trivial view of the consumption of drugs, primarily alcohol and tobacco. On the other hand, a lack of articles and advertising space with prevention contents can be observed
