Fonoaudiología y derechos humanos
2018
La fonoaudiología o logopedia es una profesión adscrita a las áreas de la salud y de la educación, cuyo objetivo es optimizar la capacidad del individuo para comunicarse eficientemente y realizar adecuadamente funciones orales no verbales. Este profesional debe considerar diversos principios bioéticos en su actuación en los espacios de salud, a fin de asegurar un acceso equitativo a los usuarios de los servicios y una efectiva presencia de los valores éticos involucrados en las acciones dirigidas a ofrecer instancias u oportunidades reales para el desarrollo de la autonomía y la autodeterminación. En este trabajo se analiza cómo esta disciplina desarrolló nuevos paradigmas como respuesta a …

Antonio Vidal Infer. Facultad de Psicología. Dpto. Psicobiología Universitat de València Correo-e.: Antonio.Vidal-Infer@uv.es El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar una aproximación exploratoria para caracterizar el patrón de consumo recreativo abusivo de alcohol y otras drogas que se da en las cenas navideñas de empresa. Para ello se ha empleado una adaptación de la metodología de estimación rápida RARE, mediante la combinación de técnicas cuantitativas (encuestas de estimación rápida, n=444) y cualitativas (observaciones y entrevistas semiestructuradas, n=8). El trabajo de campo se desarrolló en 13 restaurantes de las ciudades de Valencia y Alicante (España) durante el mes de dicie…
Illness perceptions of COVID-19 in Europe: Predictors, impacts and temporal evolution
2021
Objective: Illness perceptions (IP) are important predictors of emotional and behavioral responses in many diseases. The current study aims to investigate the COVID-19-related IP throughout Europe. The specific goals are to understand the temporal development, identify predictors (within demographics and contact with COVID-19) and examine the impacts of IP on perceived stress and preventive behaviors. Methods: This was a time-series-cross-section study of 7, 032 participants from 16 European countries using multilevel modeling from April to June 2020. IP were measured with the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Temporal patterns were observed considering the date of participation and t…
Psychophysical and electrofunctional contrast sensitivity in cataractous patients treated with bendazac-lysine salt
1990
The clinical progression of the cataract may be influenced by drugs which reduce the denaturation of lens proteins. One of the most promising drugs is the bendazac-lysine salt. The drug was used in a double-blind study of a group of patients with initial cortical cataract in order to evaluate the changes in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity by means of a psychophysical and an electrophysiological method. After 6 months of treatment with bendazac the mean values of visual acuity showed a statistically significant increase in respect to baseline values, as well as an improvement of the threshold of contrast for most spatial frequencies. In the eyes treated with placebo there was no stati…
Women in Neurosurgery: From a Matter of Fortuitous Occasions Toward a Conscious Choice.
2021
Background Medicine has made progress toward gender equality and has achieved almost equal distribution between men and women among graduates. However, more still needs to be done because most surgical subspecialties are still lacking adequate female representation and this persisting gender gap is particularly evident in both practical neurosurgery and the academic world. Gradual advancements have enabled a few women to pursue a successful career in neurologic surgery, pairing clinical practice with mentoring and involvement in academic research. These efforts show that more needs to be done to bridge the historic and current gap, which has recently aroused increasing interest among the ne…
<p>Testing Measurement Properties of the Norwegian Version of Electronic Health Literacy Scale (eHEALS) in a Group of Day Surgery Patients</…
2020
Background and aim In order to assess patients' ability to search, understand, and benefit from Internet-based information, several screening tools have been developed. One of these tools, which has been widely used, is the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). The aim of this study was to examine the measurement properties of the Norwegian version of the eHEALS, as it was used in a group of patients undergoing day surgery. Methods A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 119 patients scheduled for day surgical treatment in a Norwegian hospital. The questionnaire included the screening tool eHEALS, which contains 8 items for assessing a person's information awareness skills, informatio…
Common etiological pathways between toxic substance use, Internet and cybersex addiction: The role of expectancies and antisocial deviance proneness
2016
This study examined Internet and cybersex addiction in adolescents and how such behaviour was associated with substance use (in particular, cigarettes, alcohol, and drug use). Participants were 312 adolescents, aged 14-16, who completed survey instruments. Study measures included demographic, toxic substance use, expectancies toward substances consumption, antisocial deviance proneness, Internet, and cybersex addiction variables. Descriptive, bivariate analyses, exploratory/confirmatory factor analyses, and structural Equation Modeling were performed. Nearly 60%, 26%, and 25% of adolescents reported having drunk alcohol, used drugs and smoked cigarettes respectively. Prevalence of Internet …
