Psychometric Study on a Two-Factor Higher Order Structure of Mindfulness, Its Effects, and Mechanisms Related to Mental Health among Experienced Medi…
2014
Objective: To investigate the psychometric and structural properties of the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) among meditators, to develop a short form, and to examine associations of mindfulness with mental health and the mechanisms of mindfulness. Methods: Two independent samples were used, a German (n = 891) and a Spanish (n = 393) meditator sample, practicing various meditation styles. Structural and psychometric properties of the FFMQ were investigated with multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling. Associations with mental health and mechanisms of mindfulness were examined with path analysis. Results: The derived short form broadly…
El problema de lo mental
2012
Este artículo se ocupa de un aspecto central del problema de la relación mente-cuerpo, a saber, la causalidad mental y, más concretamente, lo que llamaremos 'causalidad intencional'. Caracterizamos en primer lugar nociones básicas como propiedad mental, causalidad mental y causalidad intencional. Presentamos luego tesis metafísicas inspiradas en las ciencias naturales que parecen entrar en conflicto con la causalidad intencional. Exponemos a continuación algunos intentos de abordar este problema, comentando sus dificultades. Finalmente, proponemos, de manera tentativa, algunas sugerencias para abordarlo con éxito. This paper deals with a central aspect of the mind-body problem, namely, ment…
Resilience and prosocial behaviour in Spanish care professionals of dependent persons
2022
Professional residential care providers face several stressors due to the burden of caring for dependent people. This burden may affect the way in which care is carried out. Resilience, as personal strengths, may help them to be more effective in their workplace and in their interaction with patients, and this may be related to the development of participation skills and prosocial behaviours. A total of 125 professional's caregivers from Spain responded to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Resilience Scale and the PB new Prosocial Conduct Scale over the years 2018 and 2019. We checked the predictive power of resilience as well as other predictors (sex, type of contract and total months w…
Analysis of hospital costs by morbidity group for patients with severe mental illness
2022
The goal of this study is to analyse hospital costs and length of stay of patients admitted to psychiatric units in hospitals in a European region of the Mediterranean Arc. The aim is to identify the effects of comorbidities and other variables in order to create an explanatory cost model.In order to carry out the study, the Ministry of Health was asked to provide data on access to the mental health facilities of all hospitals in the region. Among other questions, this database identifies the most important diagnostic variables related to admission, like comorbidities, age and gender. The method used, based on the Manning-Mullahy algorithm, was linear regression. The results were measured b…

Psychological changes through the lifespan: Ageing and psychosocial-related variables
2022
This series of papers examines aspects of aging cognition in both healthy older adults and those diagnosed with dementias, and although few in number, gives an important overview of some of the key issues in examining the relationships between aging and psychosocial variables, including social cognition. The special issue includes five papers which cover: goal related decision making (Ito et al.); trust in cooperative behavior (Telga and Lupianez); impact of anxiety on self-perceived cognitive difficulties (Spalding et al.); factors associated with depression in Wuhan, China (Liu et al.); and neurophysiological functional connectivity related to apathy in people living with dementia (Altunk…
Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Spanish Burnout Inventory Among Professionals Across 17 Countries and Regions
2022
AbstractStudies on the prevalence of burnout in professionals in service organizations who work in direct contact with the clients or users of the organization have concluded that burnout is a serious health disorder that has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant advantage of the Spanish Burnout Inventory (SBI) over other instruments is that it provides a broader conceptualization of burnout by including feelings of guilt as a dimension of burnout to explain its development. However, the measurement invariance of the SBI across countries has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to test the measurement invariance of the SBI among professionals across 17 countr…
Decentering, Acceptance, and Non-Attachment : Challenging the Question "Is It Me?"
2021
Among mindfulness measures the three constructs acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment are psychometrically closely related, despite their apparent semantic differences. These three facets present robust psychometric features and can be considered core themes in most “third wave” clinical models. The aim of the present study was to explore the apparently different content domains (acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment) by administering various psychometric scales in a large sample of 608 volunteers. Resilience and depression were also assessed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses performed in two randomly selected subsamples showed a bifactor approximation. The explained…
Teachers' Knowledge and Stigmatizing Attitudes Associated With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Effectiveness of a Brief Educational Intervention
2021
Because children and adolescents are vulnerable to developing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), classroom teachers play an important role in the early identification and intervention in students with OCD. The present study aims to explore the recognition of OCD, general knowledge about this disorder, implications in the classroom, and stigmatizing attitudes among teachers, as well as the effectiveness of a brief educational intervention about OCD. Participants (n = 95; mean age = 43. 29 years old; 64.3% female) were primary and secondary school teachers who were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. All of them completed a set of self-report questionnaires, read …
