Background: Discrimination is one or more unjustified negative behaviors towards a person based on one or more characteristics of that person. In the case of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) persons, they have been constant victims of stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination around the world. However, few scientific studies explore the experiences of discrimination in Puerto Rico, since most studies have focused on negative attitudes, prejudice, and social distance. Objective: The aims of this brief report are 1) to describe in detail the relative importance of the quality of the items of the Perceived Discrimination in the LGB Community Scale, and 2) to describe the experiences of discrimination both at the individual and group level of an LGB sample according to the order of relative importance found. Method: This research had a quantitative method with a descriptive study design, instrumental type. To meet the objective of this study, the data collected in each item was independently evaluated to examine the experience and perception of each participant in the situation presented by each premise. A non-probability sample of 300 LGB participants was recruited in Puerto Rico. Results: The area with the highest reported experiences of individual discrimination was the relationship category (M=.700), followed by psychological (M=.630), society/environmental (M=.566), family/employment (M=.566) and physical (M=.386) respectively. The area with the highest perceptions of group discrimination reported by the sample was the education/health category (M = .882), followed by culture/society (M=.827), politics (M=.803), maternity/paternity (M=.802) and locality (M=.791) respectively. Conclusion: When analyzing all the items, it was observed that the results of the first 22 positions according to the Relative Importance Index, correspond to the experiences of discrimination in a group way. This means that people perceive greater discrimination as a group than the discrimination they perceive about their own person.

Background: The theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used to predict condom use. The present study assessed the causal relationships of the TPB in a cultural context different from the one that was proposed. Objective: To assess the causal relationships among the variables proposed by the TCP to determine if they predict consistent condom use in two groups of Latina women and to identify the inter-group similarities in both groups and the discrepancies with what the model proposes for the North American population. Method: A set of variables were evaluated in two samples of Latina women (Mexican and Argentine): consistency of condom use, intention to use condoms in the next sexual encounter, the subjective norm of friends and parents, attitudes towards condoms, and perceived behavioral control to use condoms. We used the Linear regression analysis. Results: Intention to use condoms was found to be the best predictor of condom use. Subjective norm was more important than attitudes; although the latter variable was not configured as a predictor in Argentine women. Conclusion: The associations between the CTP variables and the predictive values of the variables may change according to the cultural group evaluated; perceived behavioral control, in both samples, was not a direct predictor of condom use behavior, but it was a predictor of intention to use condoms. In addition, we discussed the relevance of the variables proposed by the TCP about the cultural context of Latinos and the critical use of the model in populations other than North America.

Background: The psychosocial effects derived from the COVID-19 pandemic have represented a challenge for the population worldwide. Stress is a frequent problem reported by women, impacting the strategies they use to deal with problems in daily life and their ability to recover from this critical phenomenon. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between stress levels, knowledge about COVID -19, ways of coping, and resilience in women. Method: A non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational study was carried out in a group of 386 Mexican women through a format that was distributed on social networks. Results: The data suggest that the higher the level of knowledge about COVID-19, the greater the perceived stress. High stress is positively and statistically significantly related to coping style, denial (r = .245; q = .20) and cognitive-reflective analysis (r = .303; q= .21). Low levels of stress are negatively and statistically significantly associated with a weak effect size with factors like social competence (r= -.198; q= .11) and family support (r = -. 227; q = .16). Conclusion: Stress affects women considerably due to work overload and interpersonal factors. This study offers the possibility of knowing the emotional state of women in times of COVID-19.

Background: An aspect that becomes relevant in the current pandemic situation is the probable psychological effects that it may cause. A series of studies have shown that these kinds of critical situations have effects such as the development of anxiety processes in people. Hence the interest in knowing how health habits help to adapt to the pandemic and mediate anxiety processes. Objective: to analyze the relationship of healthy habits with anxiety and adaptation to confinement. Method: 7,439 people from Mexico participated, with ages between 18 and 80 years (M = 36.99, SD = 14.00). Results: We found that sleep (58%), eating (29%) and physical activity (52%) habits have been affected by confinement; 11.5% of the participants showed indicators of anxiety. The 9% of participants adapted poorly to confinement. The variable that best predicts adaptation to confinement is anxiety, followed by food, sleep, and physical activity. Those who are most affected by habits are young people and women by gender. Conclusions: The pandemic has led to changes in negative habits in a large sector of the population, which are now considered risk factors for physical and mental health. In addition, habits are associated with anxiety and adaptation, so it is necessary to provide society with strategies that allow proper management of habits, which can prevent the manifestation of anxiety.

Introducción: El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la relación entre las dimensiones de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y las expectativas académicas de resultado, las expectativas de futuro, metas de progreso y la satisfacción escolar de jóvenes universitarios. Método: La investigación fue observacional, descriptiva, correlacional y con diseño transeccional. En este estudio participaron 346 jóvenes universitarios (51 %= hombres y 49 % mujeres), de 18 a 23 años, la forma de selección de la muestra fue por conveniencia. Se utilizó el cuestionario SF-12 que evalúa la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en ocho dimensiones; función física, rol físico, dolor corporal, salud general, vitalidad, función social, rol emocional y salud mental, y las escalas de; expectativas académicas de resultado, metas de progreso académicas, satisfacción escolar y expectativas de futuro. Resultados: Los resultados indican la existencia de altos puntajes en dimensiones como la función física, rol físico y rol emocional, excepto en la función social. Se observó correlación entre las dimensiones que integran el componente de salud física con las expectativas académicas, satisfacción académica y expectativas de futuro. A su vez, el componente de salud mental se correlacionó con las metas de progreso académicas, expectativas académicas de resultado, satisfacción académica y expectativas de futuro. Conclusiones: los jóvenes universitarios tienen una buena calidad de vida, sin embargo, existe una proporción de estudiantes que no adoptan hábitos saludables y otros sí. La salud física y mental son aspectos importantes en los estudiantes, no obstante, los universitarios no visualizan el impacto de dichos beneficios en el éxito escolar, el logro de sus expectativas académicas, metas de progreso e incluso en sus expectativas de futuro.

Introducción: La teoría de metas de logro en el deporte intenta explicar la motivación del individuo a partir de conocer qué valor y expectativas les otorga a las actividades deportivas que realiza y las metas que se propone, para definirlas o sentirse exitoso en las mismas, partiendo del supuesto de que el deporte es un contexto de logro y es por esto que los individuos se esforzaran para demostrar competencia y habilidad. El Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire es uno de los instrumentos de medición más utilizados para abordar esta teoría. Sin embargo, no existen estudios locales que permitan medir el constructo en deportistas argentinos adultos. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación lingüística, conceptual y métrica del TEOSQ en deportistas adultos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Método: El estudio fue instrumental, con un muestreo intencional no probabilístico, se realizó la adaptación del instrumento del inglés al español, luego un juicio de expertos, seguido por un análisis factorial confirmatorio para luego indagar coeficientes de confiabilidad y brindar valores normativos. Resultados: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 258 deportistas argentinos (63,36% mujeres; 36,4% varones) de las disciplinas, básquetbol, voleibol, futbol de salón, hockey sobre césped y fútbol (edad media=24,41, DE= 6,55). Los resultados obtenidos indican un ajuste aceptable para el modelo de dos factores evidenciado en la literatura habiendo descartado los ítems 5 y 13 por presentar una baja carga factorial (<.30). Se aporta a su vez coeficientes de consistencia interna adecuados (α =.77 y de ω =.85 para orientación al ego; y α =.82 y ω =.86 para orientación a la tarea), y se brindan valores normativos. Conclusión: Este estudio aporta evidencias de validez y confiabilidad para la versión adaptada del TEOSQ en deportistas argentinos.

Introducción: En el proceso diagnóstico de los trastornos psicológicos, podemos encontrar características comunes a diferentes problemas, pudiendo explicar variedad de dificultades clínicas y comorbilidades desde esta categoría transversal, lo cual ha sido llamada transdiagnóstico. Siendo la regulación emocional una variable transdiagnóstica que se define como la capacidad de la persona de hacer uso de recursos o habilidades para modular la respuesta conductual producida posteriormente a la experimentación de una emoción de moderada a elevada intensidad. Objetivo: Explicar el impacto de la variable regulación emocional en la teoría y práctica clínica a través de una mirada transdiagnóstica. Discusión: El término transdiagnóstico nace por una serie de inconvenientes en su fundamentación y práctica, siendo estás: la insatisfacción por los modelos tradicionales como la Clasificación Internacional de las Enfermedades y Trastornos relacionados con la Salud Mental (CIE-10) y Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de Trastornos Mentales (DSM-5), la comorbilidad y el riego de la medicalización. Por eso, este modelo propone comprender los procesos causales básicos comunes entre distintos trastornos o grupos de estos. Para tocar el tema de regulación emocional se debe hablar de las emociones. Estás son adaptativas para las personas. Sin embargo, pueden transformarse en problemáticas si se responde de forma automática bajo el nivel emocional, ya que interfiere con objetivos y bienestar personal. Todos los seres humanos contamos con procesos reguladores de la emoción, es decir, somos capaces de decidir cómo responder ante la aparición de una emoción. Ello es llamado regulación emocional, la cual se vuelve efectiva cuando se adapta el contexto y a los metas a largo plazo. Esta forma de responder es un producto personal aprendido que depende de las contingencias y las reglas que la comunidad verbal de referencia haya organizado a lo largo de la historia personal; por lo que, a veces, puede ser destructiva en la medida que su aplicación rígida y, muchas veces evitativa, impide a la persona construir una vida con sentido. La investigación reciente demuestra que una cantidad importante de diagnósticos clínicos en salud mental podría ser explicada por los problemas en la regulación emocional, entre los cuales hemos destacado los trastornos de ansiedad, depresivos, el trastorno límite de la personalidad, los trastornos por uso de sustancias y los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Conclusión: Los procesos transdiagnósticos se ven cada vez más valorados debido a las variadas teorías explicativas que aparecen en estos últimos años. Generando tratamientos enfocados al déficit de habilidades en regulación emocional, todo con el fin de mejorar la calidad de vida de los consultantes. Cabe agregar que al revisar toda esta literatura podemos concluir que es posible conceptualizar y explicar los trastornos psicológicos desde el déficit de regulación emocional. Sobre todo, des

Background: Valid and reliable instruments are required to measure the level of information on contraceptive methods in adolescents to promote their correct use. Objective: To construct and validate a test of knowledge of contraceptive methods for adolescents between 15 and 19 years old. Method: A 36-item test was developed that included the different contraceptive methods and information on the characteristics, use, efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Once validated by expert judges, a college in Ecatepec was randomly selected as data collection site. Students of the three school grades answered the test. Results: The test was applied to a total of 229 students between 15 and 19 years old (M = 16.22; SD = .978). The majority were women (66%), single (88.5%) and lived with their parents (62.9%). Of the 36 initial items, 31 showed discriminatory power between those who performed well on the test and those who did not. The difficulty index of the questionnaire was .45 and revealed a reliability index value of .739. Around 60% of the participants obtained a percentage below 50% of correct answers in the entire test. Only about 4% of participants got a percentage of correct responses higher than 70%. The categories of characteristics and use were those in which the participants performed best when answering 48% of these questions correctly. The worst was effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages with 33%. Conclusion: The test’s psychometric properties showed that it is a valid and reliable test for its application in Mexican adolescents. The results indicate that most adolescents of the simple do not have complete information about contraceptive methods and that they know the least about their effectiveness and side effects.

Objective: To construct and validate a test of knowledge of contraceptive methods for adolescents between 15 and 19 years old. Method: A 36-item test was developed that included the different contraceptive methods and information on the characteristics, use, efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Once validated by expert judges, a college in Ecatepec was randomly selected as data collection site. Students of the three school grades answered the test.

Background: The sexual behavior of women is associated with various protective or risk factors, which are important to assess. To determine the socioeconomic factors associated with the sexual behavior of Peruvian women within 15 and 25 years old. Method: A secondary analysis of the 2016 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) was conducted. Our sample was 7962 women from 15 to 25 years old, from all over the Peruvian territory. Associative analyzes were carried out on the age of sexual initiation, the number of sexual partners and the use of contraceptives, based on sociodemographic variables. Poisson regression with robust variance was also used. Results: It was found the factors, that are associated with the age of sexual initiation and the number of sexual partners, are the area of origin, marital status, educational level, employment status and socioeconomic level. While women who work and whose partners do not drink alcohol are the most likely to use contraceptives. Conclusions: It can be concluded that certain socioeconomic and work conditions act as protective factors of female sexual behavior, while having a partner who drinks alcohol is a risk factor.
