The Impact of TikTok on the Body Image and Self-esteem of a Group of Portuguese Adolescent Boy
Get PDFDe acuerdo con estudios previos, las redes sociales afectan la percepción que los adolescentes tienen de su imagen corporal y autoestima. Este estudio se centra en TikTok, explorando si el uso de la plataforma afecta la imagen corporal y la autoestima, y de qué manera, centrándose en los adolescentes varones, un grupo que ha sido escasamente estudiado. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa de naturaleza exploratoria, ya que existe una falta de estudios previos relacionados con los temas presentados. La muestra del estudio fue intencionada e incluyó 15 preadolescentes (de 10 a 14 años) y 15 adolescentes (de 15 a 19 años). Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas que posteriormente se transcribieron y analizaron mediante un análisis temático con MaxQDA. Nuestros resultados revelaron que TikTok puede tener consecuencias tanto positivas como negativas en la autopercepción de la imagen corporal de los adolescentes varones y en su autoestima. Prácticas específicas en TikTok están relacionadas con un aumento de la vigilancia del cuerpo, así como con cambios en las prácticas deportivas y hábitos alimenticios. Hubo un impacto negativo en la autoestima asociado con el uso excesivo, pero también un impacto positivo, dependiendo del tipo de contenido consumido. Estos resultados difieren de los estudios previos con adolescentes de sexo femenino, subrayando así la relevancia de investigar la perspectiva masculinaPrevious studies have shown that social media influences adolescents’ perceptions of their body image and self-esteem. This study examines TikTok’s impact on these aspects, specifically focusing on adolescent boys, a demographic that has been underrepresented in research. Given the scarcity of prior studies on this topic, we employed a qualitative, exploratory methodology. The study sample was purposive, comprising 15 pre-adolescents (ages 10-14) and 15 adolescents (ages 15-19). We conducted semi-structured interviews, which were subsequently transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis with MaxQDA software. Our findings indicate that TikTok can have both positive and negative effects on male adolescents’ self-perception of body image and self-esteem. Certain practices on TikTok were associated with increased body vigilance and changes in sports practices and eating habits. While excessive use of the platform negatively impacted self-esteem, the type of content consumed also played a significant role, leading to positive outcomes in some cases. These results contrast with previous studies focused on female adolescents, highlighting the importance of exploring the male perspectivePedagogí
Avances clínicos para el tratamiento en la patología cardiovascular
Get PDFLa medicina es una ciencia en rápida evolución y tiene fundamento, en el mundo occidental, sobre la así
llamada “evidencia científica”, de modo que se utilizan solo los medicamentos y las técnicas que demuestren
eficacia y seguridad estadísticamente significativas. La cardiología es una especialidad médica en la cual la
presión para el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos y procedimientos es especialmente fuerte, dado que las patologías
cardiovasculares siguen siendo la primera causa de mortalidad y morbilidad en el mundo, y los nuevos avances
en este campo afectan a una amplia parte de la población general (McMurray JJ, 1998).
Además, en cardiología hay varias subespecialidades, que representan el nivel más avanzado de
conocimientos en esa específica parte de las patologías cardiovasculares. Estas subespecialidades cardiológicas
suelen ser: la cardiología clínica, que centra sus esfuerzos en el paciente, como pieza central de todo acto
médico, y busca además fortalecer los puentes de unión con la Atención Primaria para que la continuidad
asistencial favorezca su calidad de vida y su esperanza de vida; la hemodinámica y cardiología intervencionista,
cuyos profesionales se dedican o tienen interés en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad cardiovascular,
empleando técnicas de abordaje endovascular mediante catéter; la aritmología tiene un interés e implicación
especial con el ritmo y las arritmias cardiacas; por último la sección de insuficiencia cardiaca se ocupa de la salud
cardiovascular en el ámbito de la insuficiencia cardiaca.
La presente tesis doctoral, se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación que analiza los efectos de las
últimas técnicas y los últimos medicamentos sobre outcomes cardiológicos como reducción de eventos,
sobrevivencia, mejoría de la calidad de vida. Eso ha requerido analizar diferentes técnicas cardiológicas y
suministrar diferentes medicamentos.
Los proyectos de investigación que han servido de base para desarrollar esta tesis doctoral han sido
aprobados por el Comité Coordinador de Ética de la Investigación Biomédica de Andalucía, España, y registrado
con el apoyo de la Fundación Andaluza Beturia para la Investigación en Salud (FABIS). Para este proyecto se
estableció una colaboración entre la Universidad de Huelva y los tres hospitales de la provincia de Huelva, el
Hospital Universitario Juan Ramón Jiménez, el Hospital Comarcal Infanta Elena y el Hospital General de Riotinto.
En un estudio se incluyeron además otros hospitales españoles: Hospital Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete,
Hospital del Mar de Barcelona, Hospital Universitario Virgen de Valme de Sevilla, Hospital Fundación de Alcorcón de Madrid, Hospital Universitario General Yagüe de Burgos, Complejo hospitalario de Torrecárdenas de Almería,
Complejo hospitalario de Jaén, Hospital Joan XXIII de Tarragona, Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria.
Para concluir, señalar que el hilo que une toda esta investigación es la innovación en cardiología. Contribuir a la
difusión de estos nuevos medicamentos y técnicas puede representar un cambio radical en la calidad y duración
de vida de la población con enfermedad cardiovascular. Nuestra investigación indica que estas nuevas técnicas
son más efectivas y seguras que los métodos tradicionales.Medicine is a rapidly evolving science and is based, in the Western world, on the so-called "scientific evidence", so that only drugs and techniques that demonstrate statistically significant efficacy and safety are used. Cardiology is a medical specialty in which the pressure for the development of new drugs and procedures is especially strong, given that cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world, and new advances in this field affect a large part of the general population (McMurray JJ, 1998).
In addition, in cardiology there are several subspecialties, which represent the most advanced level of knowledge in that specific part of cardiovascular pathologies. These cardiological subspecialties are usually: clinical cardiology, which focuses its efforts on the patient, as the central piece of all medical acts, and also seeks to strengthen the bridges of union with Primary Care so that the continuity of care favors their quality of life and life expectancy; hemodynamics and interventional cardiology, whose professionals are dedicated or have an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, using endovascular approach techniques by catheter; arrhythmology has a special interest and involvement with rhythm and cardiac arrhythmias; finally, the heart failure section deals with cardiovascular health in the field of heart failure.
This doctoral thesis is part of a research project that analyzes the effects of the latest techniques and the latest drugs on cardiac outcomes such as reduction of events, survival, improvement of quality of life. This has required analyzing different cardiological techniques and administering different drugs.
The research projects that have served as the basis for developing this doctoral thesis have been approved by the Coordinating Committee of Ethics of Biomedical Research of Andalusia, Spain, and registered with the support of the Andalusian Beturia Foundation for Health Research (FABIS). For this project, a collaboration was established between the University of Huelva and the three hospitals in the province of Huelva, the Juan Ramón Jiménez University Hospital, the Infanta Elena Regional Hospital and the Riotinto General Hospital. In one study, other Spanish hospitals were also included: Albacete University Hospital, Mar Hospital in Barcelona, Virgen de Valme University Hospital in Seville, Alcorcón Foundation Hospital in Madrid, General Yagüe University Hospital in Burgos, Torrecárdenas hospital complex in Almería, Jaén hospital complex, Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona, Insular University Hospital of Gran Canaria.
To conclude, it's worth pointing out that the thread that ties this entire research together is innovation in cardiology. Contributing to the dissemination of these new drugs and techniques may represent a radical change in their quality and duration of life for the population with cardiovascular disease. Our research indicates that these new techniques are more effective and safer than traditional methods.Ciencias Integrada
High Prevalence of Tobacco Consumption among Pregnant Women in a Southern European City (Seville): A Challenge for the Health System
Get PDFThe prevalence of prenatal tobacco exposure remains high in many countries, particularly
in southern Europe. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of smoking among
pregnant women in a southern Spanish city (Seville) and to identify the associated sociodemographic
and obstetric characteristics. In a descriptive, cross-sectional study, a random sample of pregnant
women who were scheduled to undergo a morphology scan at their public referral hospital in their
20th week of gestation were interviewed in person. At the start of pregnancy, 38.2% of the pregnant
women were smokers. In the twentieth week, 19.1% continued to smoke, and the same percentage
had quit. The prevalence of smoking in pregnant women was higher among those with a low level of
education (60% among pregnant women with no studies and 30.4% in those with primary education)
and among those who had had abortions (38.5%). Pregnant smokers with obesity were the least
likely to have given up smoking during pregnancy. Women with a lower educational level should
be a prime target for cross-sectoral interventions aimed at preventing prenatal tobacco exposure.
Implementation of support measures for providing effective clinical advice in preconception and
prenatal care regarding healthy lifestyles is particularly needed.This research was funded by the research group on Health Promotion and Development of Lifestyle across the Life Span (code HUM604, University of Huelva, Spain), with funding received from the Scientific Policy Strategy of the University of Huelva and the Andalusian Plan for Research, Development and Innovation (PAIDI).Psicología Social, Evolutiva y de la Educació

No full textThe Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Non-Medical Workers Constantly Interacting with Patients
No full textAs medical staff, orderlies are at danger of showing negative signs of psychological health. They are exposed to many stresses
that may have a negative impact on their personal lives, and they have also been subjected to the difficult condition of
COVID-19 in their workplace. However, since they are not considered to be medical professionals, very few studies and
interventions are focused on them. The aim of the present research was to detect the interactions among the work and family environments, as well as to analyze self-perceived mental health and burnout in people who worked as orderlies during
the pandemic in public healthcare centers in Huelva (Spain), considering a set of sociodemographic variables. The field work
was conducted between April and June 2020. Systematic random sampling was carried out. Information from 84 contributors
was gathered through the SWING, MBI-HSS, and GHQ-12 forms. Univariate and bivariate analyzes and correlation tests
were carried out. The data were analyzed and correlations were established. The majority of the participants obtained a negative interaction result of work over family. Those who had had contact with SARS-CoV-2 situations presented greater proportions of positive outcome in GHQ-12, bad work-family interaction, burnout, emotional exhaustion, and
depersonalization. The men presented a worse general mental health state than the women. Orderlies of Huelva who have
had contact with COVID-19 in their workplace present worse indicators of psychological health and greater negative interaction of work over family than those who have not had any contact with these circumstancesEnfermeríaPedagogíaPsicología Social, Evolutiva y de la Educació

Percepciones de los estudiantes: el papel de las simulaciones de negocios computarizadas en el fomento del empoderamiento psicológico entre los estudiantes de negocios
No full textPsychological Empowerment (PE) is a multidimensional construct critical for understanding how individuals perceive themselves, interact with their environments, and take actions to influence outcomes. While traditionally conceptualised as encompassing intrapersonal, interactional, and behavioural dimensions, this study employs exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to evaluate and refine the theoretical framework for PE. The research aimed to address limitations in existing models, which often overlook the multidimensionality of empowerment, by developing a scale aligned with its three theoretical dimensions. Conducted in the context of the RETO 2024 global business simulation competition, this study surveyed 451 participants from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, analysing their experiences and perceptions of empowerment. The findings reveal that the empirical data support a two-factor model of PE rather than the originally hypothesized three-factor structure. The intrapersonal and behavioural dimensions converge into a unified factor—Cognitive-Behavioural Empowerment—capturing the interplay between self-perceptions and actions such as decision-making, leadership, and teamwork. The interactional dimension remains distinct, reflecting analytical and contextual skills essential for navigating complex environments. This refinement enhances the theoretical clarity and practical applicability of PE, providing a robust framework for evaluating and fostering empowerment in educational and professional contexts.El empoderamiento psicológico (PE) es un constructo multidimensional fundamental para comprender cómo los individuos se perciben a sí mismos, interactúan con su entorno y toman medidas para influir en los resultados. Si bien tradicionalmente se conceptualiza como que abarca dimensiones intrapersonales, interaccionales y conductuales, este estudio emplea análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) para evaluar y refinar el marco teórico de la EP. La investigación tuvo como objetivo abordar las limitaciones de los modelos existentes, que a menudo pasan por alto la multidimensionalidad del empoderamiento, mediante el desarrollo de una escala alineada con sus tres dimensiones teóricas. Realizado en el contexto de la competencia global de simulación empresarial RETO 2024, este estudio encuestó a 451 participantes de diversos orígenes académicos y culturales, analizando sus experiencias y percepciones de empoderamiento. Los hallazgos revelan que los datos empíricos respaldan un modelo de PE de dos factores en lugar de la estructura de tres factores originalmente hipotetizada. Las dimensiones intrapersonal y conductual convergen en un factor unificado, el empoderamiento cognitivo-conductual, que captura la interacción entre las autopercepciones y acciones como la toma de decisiones, el liderazgo y el trabajo en equipo. La dimensión interaccional sigue siendo distinta y refleja habilidades analíticas y contextuales esenciales para navegar en entornos complejos. Este refinamiento mejora la claridad teórica y la aplicabilidad práctica de la educación física, proporcionando un marco sólido para evaluar y fomentar el empoderamiento en contextos educativos y profesionales
