La comunicació del càncer infantil i juvenil a Espanya (1960-2017). Una anàlisi a través de la premsa i d'Internet
2019
Els mitjans de comunicació contribueixen a crear la imatge que, com a societat, tenim d’una malaltia. El càncer en adults ha estat analitzat des de diverses disciplines, inclosa la comunicació. Menys investigada ha estat aquesta malaltia en la població infantil i adolescent. El càncer pediàtric ha adquirit importància, de manera progressiva, en les darreres dècades. Prova d’això són la quantitat d’estudis mèdics sobre el tema però també, des d’un punt de vista més social, els treballs realitzats des de l’antropologia o la psicologia. En comunicació, tanmateix, encara és escassa la literatura que analitza el càncer infantil en mitjans de comunicació com la televisió o la premsa. Encara hi ha…
Psicothema
2012
Resumen tomado de la publicación A pesar del incremento en las tasas de incidencia y prevalencia de los trastornos en la infancia y adolescencia, son pocos los trabajos con muestras amplias y representativas de niños y adolescentes con síntomas psicopatológicos. El presente trabajo analiza 588 sujetos derivados por los pediatras de Atención Primaria a una unidad especializada de Salud Mental de Infancia y Adolescencia. Como resultados se observan relaciones significativas entre edad y diagnóstico, de modo que de 0-5 años la mayor incidencia se da en trastornos de conducta, comunicación, eliminación, control de impulsos y trastornos generalizados del desarrollo; entre 6-11 aparecen también l…
Crianza, prosocialidad y relaciones entre los pares en la adolescencia. Factores implicados en los comportamientos antisociales
2017
La adolescencia es la etapa evolutiva de transición entre la infancia y la edad adulta. Este periodo está acompañado de numerosas transformaciones fisiológicas, cognitivas y sociales, que amplían la capacidad de analizar y comprender procesos más complejos, así como las necesidades de ampliar las relaciones sociales. Desde la perspectiva de la Teoría Social Cognitiva y la Psicología Positiva conviene poner el acento en factores personales que estimulan la adaptación social. Con todo, en esta etapa, el adolescente se enfrenta a conflictos personales y sociales, fruto de las nuevas demandas y necesidades (Marina, Rodríguez y Lorente, 2015; Oliva et al., 2010; Viejo y Ortega-Ruiz, 2015).

The adolescents’ school engagement: Assessment of its dimensions
2016
A topic that in the last years is getting relevance in school and students research is school engagement. This topic has been related, among other important constructs, with burnout of teachers and students, school performance, satisfaction with the school, behavioral disruption, goal orientation and motivational climate in the classroom, students-teachers relationships, and life satisfaction of the students. School engagement may be defined as the participation of the student in academic achievements, and it is understood as a multidimensional construct. The most repeated typology of dimensions recognizes three specific and overlapping dimensions: cognitive, behavioral, and emotional (affe…
Repercusiones psicológicas de la enfermedad respiratoria crónica pediátrica en los pacientes y en sus cuidadores
2021
El reto de adaptarse a la adolescencia, una etapa de desafío y de grandes cambios en todos los niveles, puede verse agravado por la presencia de un problema de salud crónico. Siendo que el asma bronquial (AB) es el diagnóstico más frecuente en las consultas de pediatría y en las urgencias hospitalarias, y que este puede generar un impacto psicológico negativo, tanto en el adolescente como en la familia. Se considera necesario estudiar en mayor profundidad el ajuste emocional ante la enfermedad de la díada cuidador-adolescente. A su vez, conocer el impacto de la enfermedad crónica en el ajuste emocional en la adolescencia. El objetivo principal del presente estudio ha sido analizar las princ…
Asthma Comorbidities: Frequency, Risk Factors, and Associated Burden in Children and Adolescents
2022
Identifying asthma comorbidities in children is fundamental for improving disease management. We aimed to investigate the frequency of allergy-related comorbidities in children and adolescents with asthma, and to identify associated risk factors and disease burden. Between September 2015 and December 2018, 508 asthmatic patients (5–17 years) were consecutively enrolled. Parents answered a standardized questionnaire on the history of disease and risk factors. Comorbidities were classified based on the involvement of respiratory and/or extra-respiratory districts: asthma only (A, 13%), asthma with respiratory comorbidities (AR, 37%), asthma with extra-respiratory comorbidities (AER, 10%…
“She is where I’d want to be in my career” : Youth athletes’ role models and their implications for career and identity construction
2019
Abstract Objectives While role models have been documented to play a vital role in adolescents’ career development and identity exploration, in sport psychology they remain an untapped resource. The present study drew on narrative inquiry to explore the patterns of role model selection by adolescent student-athletes and the narrative maps these role models provide for self-construction. As a second objective, the study sought to understand the impact of gender on the selection and meaning of role models. Method Eighteen Finnish student-athletes (10 women, eight men) aged 17-18 participated in conversational interviews. We analysed the data with thematic and structural narrative analyses. Re…
Comparing tacrolimus ointment and oral cyclosporine in adult patients affected by atopic dermatitis: a randomized study
2004
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease, which manifests itself with eczematous skin lesions. OBJECTIVE: We compared the clinical efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (0.1%) given twice a day and oral cyclosporine (3 mg/kg) given once daily. Rescue medication for itching included cetirizine 10-20 mg (equal to one or two tables). METHODS: Thirty patients, aged 13-45 years (mean+/-SD 27.1+/-10.9), with a history of moderate-to-severe AD were randomized to treatments, 15 patients for each treatments. Assessment of efficacy was based on SCORAD, on scores of daily itching, erythema, interference with sleep, due to the skin condition and days without use of cetiri…

Attitudes toward and motivation for PE: who collects the benefits of the subject?
2014
Background and purpose: Due to attitudinal and motivational aims in the national curriculum, and to lack of research on adolescents' experiences with physical education (PE) in Norway, the purposes of this study were to (1) attain data on attitudes toward PE and self-determined motivation for PE among a representative sample of adolescents (N = 2010) in middle school (grade 8–10/age 13–15) and high school (grade 11–13/age 16–19) in Norway, and (2) to explore the relationship between involvement in movement activities outside school and self-determined motivation in PE. Findings: The results showed that 43% of the adolescents were not happy with how PE is taught in Norwegian schools, and tha…
