Social media uses amongst adolescents: motives, minority stress and eudaimonic well-being / Uso de redes sociales en adolescentes: motivación, estrés de minorías y bienestar eudaimónico

Introduction: The scientific evidence regarding the effects of online social media use on the well-being of adolescents is mixed. In gen-eral, passive uses (receiving, viewing content without interacting) and more screen time are related to lower well-being when compared with active uses (direct interactions and interpersonal exchanges). Objectives:This study ex-amines the types and motives for social media usage amongst adolescents, differentiating them by gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as its effects on eudaimonic well-being and minority stress. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1259 adolescents, aged 14 to 19 (M= 16.19; SD= 1.08), analysing the Scale of Motives for Using Social Net-working Sites, eudaimonic well-being, the Sexual Minority Adolescent Stress Inventory, screen time and profile type. Results:The results found that longer use time is related to finding partners, social connection and friendships; that gay and bisexual (GB) adolescents perceive more distal stressors online;and that females have higher levels of well-being. Discus-sion: The public profiles of GB males increase self-expression, although minority stress can be related to discrimination, rejection or exclusion. Dif-ferentiated socialization may contribute to a higher level of well-being in females, with both active and passive uses positively effecting eudaimonic well-being in adolescents.(AU)

A influência das mídias sociais nos relacionamentos sexuais dos jovens / The influence of social media on young people's sexual relationships

As redes sociais revolucionaram a maneira como os indivíduos de todas as faixas etárias se comunicam e interagem, tendo um impacto significativo nos relacionamentos sexuais. Essas plataformas oferecem acesso a informações sobre saúde sexual e facilitam a formação de vínculos amorosos e sexuais. Para os jovens que não se identificam como heterossexuais, as redes sociais desempenham um papel crucial no desenvolvimento da orientação sexual e na busca por aceitação. Embora as mídias sociais possam promover uma melhor compreensão da sexualidade e do sexo seguro, estão associadas a comportamentos de risco, como o sexting, e podem levar a consequências negativas, como abuso e insatisfação sexual. A agência sexual (habilidade para sentir prazer sexual, assertividade, comunicação, percepção de limites e empatia) é fundamental para navegar nas complexidades dos relacionamentos sexuais online. A privacidade é um desafio nesse contexto, com a vida pública e privada muitas vezes sendo confundida. Estabelecer limites claros com os parceiros sobre o que pode ser compartilhado online é essencial para evitar mal-entendidos e conflitos. Por outro lado, as redes sociais também podem ser uma ferramenta valiosa para educação em saúde sexual, capacitando os indivíduos a tomarem decisões informadas sobre seus relacionamentos e bem-estar sexuais. Profissionais de saúde e pesquisadores precisam estar cientes dessas influências para informar jovens, pais e educadores sobre o uso seguro e saudável dessa ferramenta para a sexualidade.

The Love Problem of a Student-Revisited: A Psycho-Ethical Map for Cases of Anima Projection.

In its typical form, an "anima projection" is a psychic experience in which a heterosexual man is caught up by an intense, almost magical attraction for a woman. What sets these numinous experiences apart from a common "crush" is a pattern of specific phenomenological characteristics. Anima projections are particularly common in late adolescence and early adulthood, when they can cause a deep sense of disorientation. Little education exists for young men on how to deal with these experiences and to actualize the developmental opportunity that underlies them. In this paper, I frame anima projections as an ethical problem and outline a psycho-ethical "map" that is intended for use by disoriented young men, or by any practitioner who may be tasked with helping them navigate this challenge along the path of individuation. The map considers four solutions to the love problem: the "concretistic-literal", the "fearful-avoidant", the "rational-depressive", and the "transitional-developmental" solution, and indicates the latter as the one that is conducive to optimal psychic development. Although developed with a focus on young men, the map may apply to other relations based on projection, regardless of age, sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

Dans sa forme typique, une "projection de l'anima" est une expérience psychique dans laquelle un homme hétérosexuel est pris dans une attirance intense, presque magique, pour une femme. Ce qui distingue les expériences numineuses de simples béguins, c'est un ensemble de caractéristiques phénoménologiques spécifiques. Les projections de l'anima sont particulièrement fréquentes à la fin de l'adolescence et au début de l'âge adulte, où elles produisent un profond sentiment de désorientation. Il n'existe que peu de formation pour les jeunes hommes en ce qui concerne comment faire face à de telles expériences et comment utiliser de manière profitable l'opportunité de développement qui les sous­tend. Dans cet article, je considère les projections de l'anima comme étant un problème éthique et j'esquisse une "carte" psycho­éthique visant à aider les jeunes hommes désorientés ­ ou tout praticien dont la tâche est d'aider ces jeunes hommes ­ à relever ce défi sur le chemin de l'individuation. Cette carte envisage quatre solutions au problème de l'amour: la solution "concrète­littérale", celle de "l'évitement angoissé", la "dépressive­rationnelle" et la "transitionnelle­développementale". La carte indique que cette dernière solution est celle qui permet un développement psychique optimal. Bien que conçue pour les jeunes hommes, cette carte peut également être utilisée pour d'autres relations fondées sur la projection, quel que soit l'âge, le sexe, le genre ou l'orientation sexuelle.

En su forma típica, una "proyección del ánima" es una experiencia psíquica en la que un hombre heterosexual se ve atrapado por una atracción intensa, casi mágica, hacia una mujer. Lo que diferencia a estas experiencias numinosas de un "flechazo" común es un patrón de características fenomenológicas específicas. Las proyecciones del ánima son especialmente frecuentes al final de la adolescencia y al principio de la edad adulta, cuando pueden causar una profunda sensación de desorientación. Existe poca educación para los hombres jóvenes sobre cómo tratar estas experiencias y dar lugar a la oportunidad de crecimiento y desarrollo que subyace a las mismas. En este artículo, planteo las proyecciones del ánima como un problema ético y esbozo un "mapa" psico­ético destinado a ser utilizado por jóvenes desorientados o por cualquier profesional que tenga la tarea de ayudarles a navegar este desafío en el camino de la individuación. El mapa considera cuatro soluciones al problema del amor: la "concreta­literal", la "temerosa­evitativa", la "racional­depresiva" y la "transicional­del desarrollo", e indica esta última como la que conduce a un desarrollo psíquico óptimo. Aunque se ha elaborado centrándose en los hombres jóvenes, el mapa puede aplicarse a otras relaciones basadas en la proyección, independientemente de la edad, el sexo, el género o la orientación sexual.

A comparative study among adolescents with cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia and their caregivers: psychological aspects / Estudio comparativo entre adolescentes con fibrosis quística y discinesia ciliar primaria y sus cuidadores: aspectos psicológicos

This work aimed to conduct a comparative study between cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia among adolescents and their caregivers to understand their emotional adaptation to the disease. Thirty-nine dyads of adolescents aged 9-18 years and their primary caregivers were assessed, 69.20 % of whom had a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. For the adolescents, anxious-depressive symptomatology was assessed using the HADS, perceived threat of disease (B-IPQ) and quality of life (CRQ-SAS). For the caregivers, emotional symptomatology (HADS) and perceived stress levels (PIP) were assessed. Mean comparisons were made according to diagnosis and severity of anxious-depressive symptomatology, relationships between variables were studied, and qualitative comparative analysis models, QCA, were performed. Higher levels of anxiety and depression were found in the caregiver than in the adolescent. Adolescents with primary ciliary dyskinesia have a more significant emotional impact than adolescents with cystic fibrosis. However, no differences were found in caregivers according to diagnosis. The adolescent's emotional state, quality of life and perceived threat of disease were related to and explained by the caregiver's emotional state, and vice versa. Therefore, there appears to be a certain degree of emotional contagion between the dyad members. This is a preliminary study that has not been carried out before and can help to understand the psychological aspects associated with these diseases to favour the patient's adjustment and thereby ensure more effective management of the disease and adherence to treatment. (AU)

El objetivo fue realizar un estudio comparativo entre la fibrosis quística y la discinesia ciliar primaria entre adolescentes y sus cuidadores para comprender su adaptación a la enfermedad. Evaluando 39 díadas de adolescentes de entre 9 y 18 años y sus cuidadores, el 69,20% de los cuales tenían un diagnóstico de fibrosis quística. Para los adolescentes, se evaluó la sintomatología ansioso-depresiva mediante el HADS, la amenaza percibida de la enfermedad (B-IPQ) y la calidad de vida (CRQ-SAS). Para los cuidadores, se evaluó la sintomatología emocional (HADS) y los niveles de estrés percibido (PIP). Se realizaron comparaciones de medias según el diagnóstico y la sintomatología ansioso-depresiva, se estudiaron las relaciones entre variables y se realizaron modelos de análisis cualitativo comparativo. Se encontraron mayores niveles ansioso-depresivos en el cuidador que en el adolescente. Los adolescentes con discinesia ciliar primaria presentan un impacto emocional mayor que los adolescentes con fibrosis quística. No se encontraron diferencias en los cuidadores según el diagnóstico. El estado emocional, la calidad de vida y la percepción de amenaza de la enfermedad del adolescente estaban relacionados con el estado emocional del cuidador y se explicaban por él, y viceversa. Por lo tanto, parece existir cierto grado de contagio emocional entre los miembros de la díada. Se trata de un estudio preliminar que no se ha realizado previamente y que ayuda a comprender los aspectos psicológicos asociados a estas enfermedades favoreciendo el ajuste del paciente y asegurar así un manejo más eficaz de la enfermedad y la adherencia al tratamiento.

Variables predictoras del uso de los métodos anticonceptivos en jóvenes: una revisión sistemática / Predictor variables of contraceptive method use in young people: A systematic review

Diseño: Revisión sistemática. Fuentes de datos: Se consultaron las bases de datos PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden Plus, LILACS e IME. Selección de estudios: Se realizó una evaluación de la calidad de los estudios que fue revisada por dos investigadores en paralelo. Como resultado, se seleccionaron un total de cinco investigaciones primarias. Extracción de datos: Se extrajo información sobre la población seleccionada en el estudio, método anticonceptivo estudiado y las variables predictoras identificadas. Resultados: Se identificaron siete variables predictoras que explican específicamente el uso del preservativo masculino, píldora anticonceptiva o píldora anticonceptiva de emergencia. Las variables más relevantes fueron el nivel de conocimiento y las actitudes hacia el empleo de los métodos anticonceptivos, de manera que un mayor conocimiento y unas actitudes positivas incrementan la probabilidad de uso de métodos anticonceptivos. Otro resultado destacado fue la presencia de un sesgo formativo con un mayor conocimiento de las mujeres sobre las opciones anticonceptivas hormonales y actitudes más positivas. Conclusión: Los futuros programas formativos deben orientarse hacia la evaluación de cambios en el comportamiento, mediante el desarrollo de actitudes positivas hacia el uso de los métodos anticonceptivos a través de la adquisición de un conocimiento de calidad sobre las opciones contraceptivas.(AU)

Objective: To analyse predictor variables of contraceptive method use in young people. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden Plus, LILACS and IME databases were consulted. Study selection: An assessment of the quality of studies was carried out by two researchers in parallel. As a result, a total of 5 primary research studies were selected. Data extraction: Information was extracted on the selected study population, contraceptive method studied and predictor variables identified. Results: Seven predictor variables were identified that specifically explain the use of the male condom, contraceptive pill or emergency contraceptive pill. The most relevant variables were the level of knowledge and attitudes towards contraceptive use, therefore high knowledge and positive attitudes increase the likelihood of contraceptive use. Another notable finding was the presence of a formative bias with womenhaving higher knowledge of hormonal contraceptive options and more positive attitudes. Conclusion: Future training programs should be oriented towards assessing behavioral changes through the development of positive attitudes towards contraceptive use by gaining knowledge of contraceptive options.(AU)

O papel da escola e da Educação Física no controle do sobrepeso e obesidade juvenil na perspectiva de professores atuantes no ensino superior / The role of schools and Physical Education in the control of overweight and juvenile obesity from the perspective of teachers working in higher education / El papel de las escuelas y la Educación Física en el control del sobrepeso y la obesidad juvenil desde la perspectiva de docentes que trabajan en la educación superior

O presente artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa quantitativa com viés exploratório descritivo, cujo objetivo foi analisar a percepção de 22 professores de Educação Física (18 homens e 04 mulheres), atuantes no magistério superior, sobre o papel da escola e da Educação Física no controle do sobrepeso e obesidade juvenil. Foi utilizada versão adaptada do Perceptions of Youth Obesity and Physical Education Questionnaire. A análise dos dados deu-se a partir das seguintes categorias: percepção da obesidade juvenil, papel da escola e papel da Educação Física permitiu inferir que os professores percebem a escola como um espaço potencial para a promoção de ações, como a oferta de disciplinas curriculares voltadas ao controle do peso corporal. Contudo, tanto a escola, quanto o professor e sua práxis nas aulas de Educação Física não devem restringir as intervenções de forma circunscrita ao tratamento e controle da obesidade juvenil (AU).

This article presents the results of a quantitative research with a descriptive exploratory bias, whose objective was to analyze the perception of 22 Physical Education teachers (18 men and 04 women), working in higher education, about the role of school and Physical Education in controlling overweight and juveni-le obesity. An adapted version of the Perceptions of Youth Obesity and Physical Education Questionnaire was used. The analysis of the data from the categories called perception of youth obesity, role of the school and role of Physical Education allowed inferring that teachers perceive the school as a potential space for the promotion of actions, such as the offer of curricular disciplines aimed at controlling the body weight. However, both the school and the teacher and their practice in Physical Education classes should not limit interventions to the treatment and control of juvenile obesity (AU).

Sin embargo, tanto la escuela como el docente y su práctica en las clases de Educación Física no deben limitar las intervenciones al tratamiento y control de la obesidad juvenil (AU).

Adormecimento psíquico e despertar do inconsciente na adolescência: uma aposta na palavra / Le sommeil psychique et l'éveil de l'inconscient à l'adolescence: un pari sur la parole / Psychic numbness and awakening of the unconscious in adolescence: betting on the word

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre os efeitos do contexto da cultura digital para a adolescência. Abordamos a adolescência na teoria psicanalítica desde as concepções freudianas até as elaborações contemporâneas. Retomamos a infância como fase constitutiva do sujeito e suas implicações para a adolescência para destacar os impasses experienciados pelos adolescentes na cultura digital. Destacamos os conceitos de saber, Outro e objeto como articulatórios para a compreensão da adolescência na contemporaneidade. Consideramos que o estatuto do saber sofreu transformações decorrentes da aliança entre o capitalismo e a digitalização e que essas transformações trazem implicações para o laço social, configurando o que chamamos de adormecimento psíquico. Por fim, apontamos a conversação de orientação psicanalítica como uma possibilidade no enfrentamento dos desafios que a cultura digital apresenta

Cet article présente une réflexion sur les effets du contexte de la culture numérique sur l'adolescence. Nous analysons l'adolescence dans la théorie psychanalytique à partir des conceptions freudiennes jusqu'aux élaborations contemporaines. Nous revenons sur l'enfance en tant que phase constitutive du sujet et ses implications pour l'adolescence afin de mettre en évidence les impasses vécues par les adolescents dans la culture numérique. Nous mettrons en évidence les concepts de connaissance, d'Autre et d'objet comme des articulations fondamentales pour la compréhension de l'adolescence à l'époque contemporaine. Nous considérons que le statut du savoir a subi des transformations résultant de l'alliance entre capitalisme et numérisation et que ces transformations ont des implications sur le lien social, configurant ce que nous appelons le sommeil psychique. Enfin, nous indiquons la conversation psychanalytique comme une possibilité pour faire face aux défis que présente la culture numérique.

This article presents a reflection on the effects of digital culture on adolescence. We analyze adolescence in psychoanalytic theory from Freudian conceptions to contemporary elaborations. We return to childhood as a constitutive phase of the subject and its implications for adolescence in order to highlight the impasses experienced by adolescents in the digital culture. We highlight the concepts of knowledge, Other and object as articulations for the understanding of adolescence nowadays. We consider that the status of knowledge has undergone transformations resulting from the alliance between capitalism and digitalization and that these transformations have implications for the social bond, configuring what we call psychic numbness. Finally, we point out the psychoanalytic conversation as a possibility in facing the challenges that digital culture presents.

Adolescência e corpo: um recorte psicanalítico / L'adolescence et le corps: un portrait psychanalytique / A psychoanalytic portrait of adolescence and its body

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir acerca da relação entre adolescência e corpo nos dias atuais, a partir do ponto de vista da teoria psicanalítica. Para isso abordamos a concepção de corpo na psicanálise a partir das obras de Freud e outros autores contemporâneos, percorrendo os conceitos de histeria, pulsão, Eu, e estádio do espelho. Neste sentido é feito um recorte em torno da função da imagem de si na formação do Eu no estádio do espelho para entendermos os impactos da desestabilização dessa imagem com as transformações corporais da adolescência. Consideramos, então, a adolescência uma reedição do estádio do espelho onde o sujeito, que não se enxerga mais como criança mas ainda não reconhece sua imagem adulta, tem a unidade do Eu desestabilizada, precisando reinventar uma posição para si frente ao Outro. Por fim questionamos quais os possíveis impactos trazidos pela crescente virtualização da própria imagem em telas para estes sujeitos.

Cet article propose une réflexion sur la relation entre l'adolescence et le corps de nos jours, du point de vue de la théorie psychanalytique. Pour ce faire, nous analysons la conception du corps dans la psychanalyse à partir des œuvres de Freud et d'autres auteurs contemporains, en parcourant les concepts d'hystérie, de pulsion, de Moi et de stade du miroir. Dans ce sens, nous partons de la fonction de l'image de soi dans la formation du Je au stade du miroir pour comprendre les impacts de la déstabilisation de cette image avec les transformations corporelles de l'adolescence. Nous considérons alors l'adolescence comme une réédition du stade du miroir où le sujet, qui ne se voit plus comme un enfant mais ne reconnaît pas encore son image adulte, à l'unité du Moi déstabilisée, ayant besoin d' inventer une nouvelle position pour lui-même face à l'Autre. Enfin, nous nous demandons quels sont les impacts possibles apportés par la virtualisation croissante de l'image pour ces sujets.

This article seeks to reflect on the relationship between adolescence and body at present, from the point of view of psychoanalytic theory. In order to do this, we analyze the conception of the body in psychoanalysis starting from the works of Freud and other contemporary authors, through the concepts of hysteria, drive, self, and stage of the mirror. In this purpose, we highlight the function of the self-image in the formation of the Self in the mirror stage to understand the impacts of the destabilization of this image with the physical transformations of adolescence. We consider, then, adolescence a re-edition of the stage of the mirror where the subject, who no longer sees himself as a child but does not yet recognize his adult image, has the unity of the Self destabilized, having to reinvent a position for himself in front of the Other. Finally, we questioned the possible impacts brought by the increasing virtualization of the image on screens for these subjects

Percepción respecto a la educación sexual de adolescentes de dos establecimientos educacionales de Talcahuano, Chile

Introducción: La educación sexual es uno de los pilares básicos del desarrollo humano por cuanto potencia la autonomía de las personas y el desarrollo de una sexualidad plena. Objetivo: Este estudio buscó describir la percepción respecto a la educación sexual de adolescentes de dos establecimientos educacionales de Talcahuano, Chile. Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal de carácter descriptivo con 309 estudiantes de dos colegios ubicados en la Comuna de Talcahuano, región del Bío-Bío, Chile. Se aplicó de forma presencial un cuestionario de autorreporte. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el software IBM Statistics SPSS v.22. Resultados: El 61,8% reportó recibir educación sexual en su establecimiento y casi la totalidad consideró necesario aprender sobre ello. Un 52,7% refirió que sus establecimientos generaban instancias para hablar de sexualidad. En relación con las temáticas que deberían ser incluidas en la educación sexual, «Valores, respeto, ética», «Anticonceptivos y prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual» y «Amor y afectividad» fueron las más preferidas. Conclusión: Pese a la existencia de instancias de educación sexual en los establecimientos educacionales y a la transversal opinión de que es necesario aprender sobre este tema, existe una baja percepción respecto a su suficiencia.

Introduction: Sex education is one of the basic pillars of human development because it enhances people's autonomy and the development of full sexuality. Objective: This study sought to describe the perception regarding sex education of adolescents from two educational establishments in Talcahuano, Chile. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 309 students from two schools located in the Talcahuano Commune, Bío-Bío region, Chile. A self-report questionnaire was applied in person. Data were analyzed using IBM Statistics SPSS v.22 software. Results: 61.8% reported receiving sex education in their establishment and almost all considered it necessary to learn about it. 52.7% reported that their establishments generated instances to talk about sexuality. In relation to the topics that should be included in sex education, "Values, respect, ethics", "Contraceptives and prevention of sexually transmitted infections" and "Love and affectivity" were the most preferred. Conclusion: Despite the existence of instances of sex education in educational establishments, and the transversal opinion that it is necessary to learn about this subject, there is a low perception regarding its adequacy.

Inhaled medications and inhalation chambers for childhood asthma. Spanish network of working groups on asthma in pediatrics (REGAP).

Asthma, the most prevalent chronic disease in pediatric age, continues to pose challenges in its management and treatment. National and international guidelines emphasize the importance of therapeutic education (TE) to achieve disease control. TE involves imparting knowledge and skills to the patient and their family, enhancing medication adherence, rectifying errors in inhalation technique, and tailoring treatment based on individual patient characteristics. It is essential for TE to be progressive, gradual, and personalized, spanning all levels of care. Training healthcare professionals in TE is crucial, particularly for pediatricians, who must also be aware of the extensive variability of available meds and inhalers and their respective age-specific indications. Addressing this need, the REGAP Group extensively reviewed inhalers currently available in Spain for pediatric asthma treatment. The review encompassed different inhalation systems and inhaled drugs used for pediatric asthma treatment. This review will be updated annually, providing information on medications, devices, inhalation chambers, indications, and financiation. The REGAP Group hopes that these tables will be a valuable help for pediatricians in their daily clinical practice and serve as an effective TE tool.

Medicaciones inhaladas y cámaras de inhalación para el asma infantil. Red española de grupos de trabajo sobre asma en pediatría (REGAP) / Inhaled medications and inhalation chambers for childhood asthma. Spanish network of working groups on asthma in pediatrics (REGAP)

El asma, la enfermedad crónica más prevalente en la edad pediátrica, continúa planteando desafíos en su manejo y tratamiento1. Guías nacionales e internacionales destacan la importancia de la educación terapéutica (ET) para lograr el control de esta enfermedad2,3. Esta educación implica la transmisión de conocimientos y habilidades al paciente y su familia, mejorando la adherencia a la medicación, corrigiendo errores en la técnica de inhalación y ajustando el tratamiento según las características individuales de cada paciente4,5. Es esencial que la ET sea progresiva, gradual e individualizada, y que esté presente en todos los niveles asistenciales. La formación en ET de profesionales sanitarios es crucial, especialmente para los pediatras, quienes además deben conocer la extensa variabilidad de medicamentos e inhaladores disponibles y sus indicaciones para cada edad6. Para abordar esta necesidad, el Grupo red española de grupos de trabajo sobre asma en pediatría (REGAP) ha revisado exhaustivamente los inhaladores actualmente disponibles en España para el tratamiento del asma en la edad pediátrica. La revisión incluye una revisión de los distintos sistemas de inhalación y los distintos fármacos inhalados, utilizados para el tratamiento del asma en la edad pediátrica. Esta revisión se actualizará anualmente, incluyendo información sobre fármacos, dispositivos, cámaras de inhalación, indicaciones y financiación. El Grupo REGAP espera que estas tablas sean una valiosa ayuda para los pediatras en su práctica clínica diaria y constituyen una eficaz herramienta de ET.(AU)

Adolescencia y bienestar digital: herramientas para los profesionales de la salud / Adolescence and Digital Well-being: Tools for Healthcare Professionals

La adolescencia constituye una etapa atravesada por cambios físicos, emocionales y sociales significativos, que incluyen la adquisición de múltiples habilidades. Aumentan los riesgos de sufrir alteraciones mentales, consumo de sustancias, embarazo no deseado, trastornos alimentarios, y se evidencian los efectos negativos del uso inapropiado de las redes sociales. El bienestar digital implica el uso saludable de la tecnología, la protección de la privacidad y la seguridad en línea. Los adolescentes utilizan las redes con la finalidad de identificarse, relacionarse, entretenerse y buscar información. La exposición no regulada conlleva riesgos: acceso a contenido inapropiado, ciberacoso, consumo problemático y fraudes. Desde el ámbito pediátrico, se debe acompañar a los adolescentes para que optimicen el uso de la tecnología y, para ello, es fundamental implementar estrategias multisectoriales para minimizar los riesgos y promover el bienestar de los adolescentes en línea, así como garantizar la alfabetización digital y el acceso equitativo a recursos tecnológicos de calidad y telesalud.

Adolescence is a period characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social changes, including the acquisition of multiple skills. It is also a time when the risks of mental disorders, substance use, unwanted pregnancy, eating disorders, and negative effects of inappropriate social media use manifest greatly. Digital well-being implies the healthy use of technology, the protection of privacy and security online. Adolescents use social media to identify themselves, interact with others, entertain themselves, and seek information. However, risks are present, including access to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, problematic consumption, and fraud. The pediatric field must support adolescents in optimizing their online use. Implementing multisectoral strategies can minimize risks, promote digital literacy, and ensure equitable access to quality technological resources and telehealth, thereby promoting adolescent online well-being.

Enfermedad gonocócica diseminada en pediatría: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Disseminated gonococcal disease in pediatrics: Case report and review of the literature

La propagación vía hematógena de Neisseria gonorrhoeae, patógeno de transmisión sexual, resulta en una enfermedad gonocócica diseminada (EGD), también conocida como síndrome artritis-dermatitis por el desarrollo de lesiones cutáneas, tenosinovitis y artritis. La población que más frecuentemente se ve afetada es la de adultos jóvenes. Describimos el caso de una adolescente que de forma aguda desarrolló lesiones cutáneas, artritis, tenosinovitis y síntomas constitucionales por EGD. La identificación del agente causal fue por cultivo de secreción vaginal y fue tratada con ceftriaxona intravenosa durante 7 días, con recuperación clínica completa. Es importante diferenciar este cuadro clínico de otros tipos de artritis desarrollados en la adolescencia.(AU)

Hematogenous spread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a sexually transmitted pathogen, results in disseminated gonococcal disease (DGD), also known as arthritis-dermatitis syndrome, due to the development of skin lesions, tenosynovitis, and arthritis. The most frequently affected population is young adults. We describe the case of an adolescent female who acutely developed skin lesions, arthritis, tenosynovitis, and constitutional symptoms. The causal agent was identified by a culture of vaginal secretion and treated with ceftriaxone for 7 days with complete recovery. It is important to differentiate this clinical picture from other types of arthritis developed in adolescence.(AU)

Eficacia de un programa de entrenamiento en fortalezas personales para reducir la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva en adolescentes / Efficacy of a personal strengths training program to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents

La literatura muestra la importancia de identificar experiencias que permitan a los adolescentes desarrollarse en el contexto escolar. Además, indica la escasa evidencia empírica existente con esta población. Por ello, en este estudio se pretende comparar la eficacia de un programa de intervención centrado en el entrenamiento en fortalezas personales, con respecto a otro programa basado en el entrenamiento de habilidades sociales y técnicas para reducir el estrés y un grupo control de lista de espera, para reducir la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva en adolescentes. Los entrenamientos se aplicaron de forma colectiva y consistieron en 6 sesiones de intervención de dos horas cada una. Los participantes fueron 65 (33 chicos y 32 chicas) estudiantes de ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) con edades entre 13 y 17 años (M = 14.32 y DT = .89). Los resultados muestran que el programa de entrenamiento centrado en el desarrollo de fortalezas personales es eficaz para aumentar las fortalezas entrenadas además de ser más eficaz para disminuir la sintomatología que otro programa de entrenamiento y que la ausencia del mismo. Implantar de forma transversal en la escuela este tipo de programas podría ayudar a un desarrollo más completo y amplio de la persona adolescente. (AU)

The literature shows us the importance of identifying experiences that allow adolescents to develop in the school context, it also indicates the scant empirical evidence that exists in this population at school, therefore, this study aims to compare the effectiveness of a program of intervention, focused on training in personal strengths, with respect to another intervention program based on the training of social skills and techniques to reduce stress and a waiting list control group, to reduce the anxious and depressive symptoms of the/ as teenagers The trainings were applied collectively and consisted of 6 intervention sessions of two hours each. The participants were 65 (33 boys and 32 girls) ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education) students aged between 13 and 17 years (M = 14.32 and SD = .89). The results show that the training program focused on the development of personal strengths is effective in increasing the trained strengths, as well as being more effective in reducing symptoms than the other training program or the absence of it. Implementing this type of program across schools could help a more complete and comprehensive development of the adolescent. (AU)

El embarazo en adolescentes a través del séptimo arte / Pregnancy in teenagers through the seventh art

Los embarazos en adolescentes se describen como embarazos en mujeres que no han alcanzado la mayoría de edad jurídica y están en situación de dependencia de la familia de origen. El embarazo suele implicar un riesgo en la trayectoria vital de las madres y padres adolescentes y un serio y prevalente problema médico-social. Por todo ello, el embarazo de la adolescente se convierte en una consulta «sagrada». Y el cine se convierte en una oportunidad para hablar con arte, ciencia y conciencia de un tema de trascendental importancia, así como una oportunidad para mejorar la relación profesional-paciente, para mejorar la humanización y para abrir el debate bioético. En este artículo os invitamos a vivir las emociones y reflexiones de la maternidad y el embarazo en alrededor de 40 películas, historias entre la ficción y la realidad. Y donde nos atrevemos a «prescribir» las siguientes: la película británica Un sabor a miel, la belga 9 meses, la estadounidense Nunca, casi nunca, a veces, siempre, la francesa El acontecimiento y la española La maternal; y como guinda, Juno, una película que más en tono de comedia que drama, capaz de incomodar a todas las partes.(AU)

Adolescent pregnancies encompass instances where women have not yet attained the legal age of majority and remain reliant on their family of origin. The phase of pregnancy during adolescence inherently introduces risks into the trajectories of both young mothers and fathers, forming a significant and widespread medical-social challenge. Consequently, an adolescent's pregnancy becomes a pivotal juncture for medical consultation, while cinema emerges as an influential platform to engage with this crucial theme from artistic, scientific, and awareness-driven perspectives. It not only fosters an opportunity to enrich the professional-patient relationship and advance humanization but also initiates profound discussions on bioethics. Within the confines of this article, we cordially invite you to delve into the emotional and contemplative dimensions of motherhood and pregnancy portrayed across nearly 40 films, each straddling the realms of fiction and reality. Moreover, we dare to "prescribe" the subsequent cinematic pieces: the British production A Taste of Honey, the Belgian creation Keeper, the American narrative Never Rarely Sometimes Always, the French cinematic gem L'événement, and the Spanish masterpiece La maternal. Adding to this repertoire is Juno, a film that skews more toward comedy than drama, deliberately invoking discomfort within diverse contexts.(AU)

[Predictor variables of contraceptive method use in young people: A systematic review]. / Variables predictoras del uso de los métodos anticonceptivos en jóvenes: una revisión sistemática.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse predictor variables of contraceptive method use in young people. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden Plus, LILACS and IME databases were consulted. STUDY SELECTION: An assessment of the quality of studies was carried out by two researchers in parallel. As a result, a total of 5 primary research studies were selected. DATA EXTRACTION: Information was extracted on the selected study population, contraceptive method studied and predictor variables identified. RESULTS: Seven predictor variables were identified that specifically explain the use of the male condom, contraceptive pill or emergency contraceptive pill. The most relevant variables were the level of knowledge and attitudes towards contraceptive use, therefore high knowledge and positive attitudes increase the likelihood of contraceptive use. Another notable finding was the presence of a formative bias with women having higher knowledge of hormonal contraceptive options and more positive attitudes. CONCLUSION: Future training programs should be oriented towards assessing behavioral changes through the development of positive attitudes towards contraceptive use by gaining knowledge of contraceptive options.

Disseminated gonococcal disease in pediatrics: Case report and review of the literature.

Hematogenous spread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a sexually transmitted pathogen, results in disseminated gonococcal disease (DGD), also known as arthritis-dermatitis syndrome, due to the development of skin lesions, tenosynovitis, and arthritis. The most frequently affected population is young adults. We describe the case of an adolescent female who acutely developed skin lesions, arthritis, tenosynovitis, and constitutional symptoms. The causal agent was identified by a culture of vaginal secretion and treated with ceftriaxone for 7 days with complete recovery. It is important to differentiate this clinical picture from other types of arthritis developed in adolescence.

Atenção à saúde dos parceiros sexuais de adolescentes com sífilis gestacional e seus filhos: uma revisão integrativa / Health care of sexual partners of adolescents with gestational syphilis and their children: an integrative review

Resumo A sífilis gestacional (SG) em adolescentes é um desafio para a saúde pública brasileira, com elevadas taxas de incidência. A testagem, diagnóstico e tratamento dos parceiros sexuais é indispensável para interromper a cadeia de transmissão, mas desde 2017 deixou de ser critério para o tratamento adequado da gestante. Buscamos analisar e sintetizar o conhecimento produzido sobre a atenção à saúde de parceiros sexuais de adolescentes com SG no Brasil. Realizamos uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados BVS, SciELO e PubMed, selecionando artigos que abordavam SG e/ou sífilis congênita (SC) em adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos e que incluíam informações sobre os parceiros sexuais. Quarenta e um artigos foram analisados compreensivamente com auxílio do software WebQDA e classificados em duas categorias: (a) Abordagem dos parceiros sexuais no pré-natal, e (b) Papel dos parceiros sexuais no ciclo de transmissão da SG e da SC. Os estudos evidenciam que a abordagem do parceiro é deficitária, com ausência de dados sobre o perfil sociodemográfico e informações sobre testagem e tratamento. No âmbito da atenção primária à saúde não se encontram estudos que abordem fatores inerentes ao contexto de vulnerabilidade dos parceiros sexuais em relação ao enfrentamento da sífilis.

Abstract Gestational syphilis (GS) in adolescents is a challenge for Brazilian public health, with high incidence rates. Testing, diagnosis and treatment of sexual partners is essential to interrupt the chain of transmission, but since 2017 it is no longer a criterion for the proper treatment of pregnant women. We sought to analyze and synthesize the knowledge produced about the health care of sexual partners of adolescents with GS in Brazil. We carried out a systematic review in the BVS, SciELO and PubMed databases, selecting articles that addressed GS and/or congenital syphilis (CS) in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years and that included information about sexual partners. Forty-one articles were comprehensively analyzed using the WebQDA software and classified into two categories: a) Approach to sexual partners during prenatal care, and b) The role of sexual partners in the transmission cycle of GS and CS. The studies show that the partner's approach is deficient, with a lack of data on the sociodemographic profile and information on testing and treatment. In the context of Primary Health Care, there are no studies that address factors inherent to the context of vulnerability of sexual partners in relation to coping with syphilis.

As Escrevivências no ensino de Terapia Ocupacional sobre/com as juventudes / "Escrevivências" in the teaching of Occupational Therapy for/with youth / Las Escrevivências en la enseñanza de la Terapia Ocupacional sobre/con las juventudes

Há um imperativo de se pensar uma formação graduada em Terapia Ocupacional atenta às necessidades juvenis. Nesse sentido, hipotetizamos que as Escrevivências de Conceição Evaristo poderiam mediar a aprendizagem crítica sobre as juventudes. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem estético, ético e político de estudantes de Terapia Ocupacional por meio de um projeto de ensino pautado nas Escrevivências. Trata-se de uma pesquisa educacional que se utilizou de informações pedagógicas de uma disciplina ministrada remotamente. Estudantes estabeleceram contato com jovens diversos para pensar aspectos coletivos dentro de narrativas singulares de vida. Os achados provêm da análise do diário de campo da monitora, da transcrição das monitorias virtuais, do trabalho final e de um grupo focal. Identificamos processos cognitivos relevantes ligados à alteridade. Quanto à aprendizagem estética, crítico-social e ético-política, debatemos as limitações.

It is imperative to think about graduate training in occupational therapy that is mindful of the needs of young people. In this regard, we hypothesized that the writings of Conceição Evaristo can help mediate critical learning about youth. The aim of this study was to investigate the aesthetic, ethical and political teaching and learning process of occupational therapy students based on a teaching project grounded in these writings. We conducted an educational study using pedagogical information from a remotely taught subject. Students established contact with various young people to think about collective aspects within singular life narratives. The findings resulted from the analysis of the field diary of the subject monitor, transcriptions of online tutoring, the students' end of course project and a focus group. We identified relevant cognitive processes linked to otherness. We also discuss the limitations of aesthetic, critical-social and ethical-political learning.
