EPA guidance on physical activity as a treatment for severe mental illness: a meta-review of the evidence and Position Statement from the European Ps…
2018
AbstractPhysical activity (PA) may be therapeutic for people with severe mental illness (SMI) who generally have low PA and experience numerous life style-related medical complications. We conducted a meta-review of PA interventions and their impact on health outcomes for people with SMI, including schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder. We searched major electronic databases until January 2018 for systematic reviews with/without meta-analysis that investigated PA for any SMI. We rated the quality of studies with the AMSTAR tool, grading the quality of evidence, and identifying gaps, future research needs and clinical practice recommendations.…
Economic and fiscal policy coordination after the crisis: is the European Semester promoting more or less state intervention?
2020
The European Union (EU) – and its Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in particular – is often criticized as a predominantly marketoriented project. We analyse to what extent such claims can be substantiated by focusing on one key aspect of the EU’s post-crisis framework for economic governance: the country-specific recom- 15 mendations (CSRs) that the EU has been issuing annually since 2011. Based on an original dataset, we analyse more than 1300 CSRs, which show that the EU does not push uniformly for less state intervention. Rather, the CSRs tend to suggest fiscal restraint and less protection for labour market insiders, while simultaneously 20 promoting measures that benefit vulnerable gr…
Professionals' Views on the Comparatively Low Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Spain.
2021
The aim of this study was to understand the reasons why Spain has one of the lowest prevalence rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in the European Union. Using a qualitative and inductive research approach, a total of five focus groups ( n = 19) and 10 unstructured interviews with key informants were conducted. Three main categories were identified as possible explanations of the relatively low prevalence of IPVAW in Spain: law and policy, social awareness, and cultural patterns. Lessons learned and implications to improve future macrolevel intervention and prevention strategies are discussed.
Cognitive flexibility and reaction time improvements after cognitive training designed for men perpetrators of intimate partner violence: results of …
2022
AbstractPurpose Current interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators are designed to reduce IPV recidivism by treating risk factors and increasing protective factors. However, these interventions pay less attention to cognitive functioning in IPV perpetrators and how these variables interfere with the future risk of recidivism. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to compare the effectiveness of Standard Intervention Programs for men who perpetrate IPV [SIP] + cognitive training vs SIP + placebo training in promoting cognitive improvements and reducing recidivism. Furthermore, we also aimed to assess whether changes in the risk of recidivism would be related …
Sense of coherence and burnout in nursing home workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Spain
2021
Abstract Care staff in nursing homes work in a challenging environment, and the COVID‐19 pandemic has exacerbated those challenges in an unprecedented way. On the other hand, the sense of coherence (SOC) is a competence that could help these professionals perceive the situation as understandable, manageable and meaningful. This study aims to analyse the extent to which potential risk and protective factors against burnout have affected nursing home workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic and to assess the contribution of these factors to their burnout. Three hundred forty professionals who worked in nursing homes in Spain completed a survey and reported on their sociodemographic characteristic…
Making sense of domestic violence intervention in professional health care
2011
Intervening in domestic violence in the health care and social service settings is a complex and contested issue. In this qualitative, multidisciplinary study, the barriers to but also the possibilities for health care professionals in encountering victims of violence were scrutinised. The focus was on omissions in service structure and practices. The data consisted of six focus group interviews with nurses, physicians, social workers and psychologists in specialist health care (n = 30) conducted in Finland in 2009. The aim was to explore professionals' processes of making sense of violence interventions and the organisational practices of violence interventions. Four types of framing of th…
Longitudinal Leisure Activity Profiles and Their Associations with Recovery Experiences and Job Performance
2017
We aimed to identify longitudinal leisure activity profiles among working adults and their links to recovery experiences and job performance. Leisure activities, recovery experiences, and job performance were investigated among 831 employees using survey data collected in spring 2013 (T1) and 2014 (T2). Through latent profile analysis (LPA), four stable longitudinal leisure activity profiles were identified. “Social Sports(wo)men” (46%) engaged in physical and social activities but rarely in creative or cultural activities. “Active Artists” (23%) pursued all leisure activities, particularly creative activities. “Socially & Culturally Inactives” (17%) exercised frequently but seldom engaged …
Sociology of Education and Construction of Educational Policies : From the Theory to the Practice
2020
A crescente complexidade no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas traduziu-se pelo aumento significativo no envolvimento de especialistas, muitos deles cientistas. Esse envolvimento é expresso de várias maneiras, seja através de solicitações de estudos preliminares, processos de planeamento ou avaliações da implementação e do impacto de medidas políticas. O desenvolvimento da relação entre os campos científico e político desafia o papel dos cientistas como especialistas e do uso do conhecimento científico, bem como as relações de poder entre políticos e cientistas. A sociologia da educação em Portugal tem uma longa tradição de interação com o campo político, não apenas em estudos relacionad…
Intervención motivacional en un jugador de tenis
2020
Se presenta un estudio de caso único utilizando un diseño mixto de triangulación metodológica, realizado con un tenista que aspira a quedar semifinalista en un torneo nacional de tenis individual. Se hicieron ocho sesiones semanales y una de seguimiento, con el objetivo de fortalecer los componentes del modelo de coaching motivacional “La Jirafa de Cantón” utilizando el diálogo socrático. La eficacia de la intervención fue evaluada mediante una administración pre-post (línea base e intervención) de tres cuestionarios: la “Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryffl, Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, y la Escala de Autoeficacia General de Schwarzer y Baessler. Al finalizar la intervención, se …
Combining split-and-merge and multi-seed region growing algorithms for uterine fibroid segmentation in MRgFUS treatments
2016
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that can affect female patients during reproductive years. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) represents a noninvasive approach that uses thermal ablation principles to treat symptomatic fibroids. During traditional treatment planning, uterus, fibroids, and surrounding organs at risk must be manually marked on MR images by an operator. After treatment, an operator must segment, again manually, treated areas to evaluate the non-perfused volume (NPV) inside the fibroids. Both pre- and post-treatment procedures are time-consuming and operator-dependent. This paper presents a novel method, based on an advanced direct region detection model, …
