RESUMEN

Resumen (analítico) El advenimiento de la pandemia del covid-19 y el aislamiento social, preventivo y obligatorio, impactó en la vida cotidiana y tuvo efectos en la subjetividad de niños, niñas y adolescentes. A través de un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo de carácter cualitativo se indaga sobre la construcción de sentidos, y las emociones en torno a la pandemia y cuarentena, las experiencias escolares y las prácticas de cuidado. Participaron 68 niñas, niños y adolescentes de cuatro jurisdicciones de Argentina, entre marzo y junio de 2020. Se recolectaron narrativas orales, fotos, dibujos y videos. Relataron cómo reinventaron modos de vincularse, de jugar y habitar espacios, erigiéndose como sujetos ético-políticos capaces de cuidar y de transformar su entorno, a pesar de la profundización de situaciones de desigualdad, del miedo al contagio y pérdida de seres queridos.

Abstract (analytical) The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive and compulsory social confinement established as a response by the national government of Argentina had an impact on the daily lives and subjectivities of children and adolescents. The authors carried out a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study that focused on the construction of meanings and emotions in relation to the pandemic, lockdowns, school experiences and care practices. A total of 68 children and adolescents from four different jurisdictions in Argentina participated in the study between March and June 2020. The authors collected oral narratives, photos, drawings and videos produced by the children and adolescents. The participants reinvented ways of bonding, playing and inhabiting spaces, establishing themselves as ethical-political subjects who are capable of caring and transforming the roles assigned to them by society despite worsening situations of inequality, fear of contagion and loss of loved ones.

Resumo (analítico) O advento da pandemia da Covid-19 e o isolamento social preventivo e compulsório tiveram impacto na vida diária e tiveram efeitos sobre a subjetividade de crianças e adolescentes. Através de um estudo exploratório-descritivo qualitativo, investigamos a construção de significados e emoções em torno da pandemia e quarentena, experiências escolares e práticas de cuidado. Sessenta e oito crianças e adolescentes de quatro jurisdições na Argentina participaram entre março e junho de 2020. Foram coletadas narrativas orais, fotos, desenhos e vídeos. Os participantes reinventaram formas de união, brincando e habitando espaços, estabelecendo-se como sujeitos ético-políticos capazes de cuidar e transformar seu ambiente, apesar do aprofundamento de situações de desigua0ldade, medo de contágio e perda de entes queridos.

RESUMEN

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las secuelas neuropsicológicas y neuropsiquiátricas asociadas al lupus eritematoso sistémico. Se planteó un diseño de análisis comparativo-correlacional, en una muestra de 68 individuos, un grupo clínico lo conformaron 34 pacientes con diagnóstico de lupus eritematoso sistémico y el control con 34 personas en condición para cada paciente, en relación a edad, género y escolaridad. Se analizó todo el perfil de funcionamiento neurocognitivo y cuadros psiquiátricos emocionales y conductuales asociados a depresión y ansiedad, correlacionados a variables como edad, tiempo de inicio de desarrollo de los síntomas del lupus eritematoso sistémico y el tiempo de diagnóstico posterior al inicio de los síntomas. Los resultados sugieren patrones de patología neuropsiquiátrica característica de depresión y cuadros de ansiedad como comorbilidad y no como una secuela propia del lupus eritematoso sistémico. Sin dificultades en el reconocimiento de emociones complejas. Con déficit en la memoria verbal de corto y largo plazo para contenidos extensos, fallos en memoria visual de corto y largo plazo. No presentaron compromiso en procesos de comprensión o fluidez verbal. Con alteración en funciones ejecutivas, principalmente monitoreo y regulación de la conducta. Fallos en procesos atencionales en pacientes con sintomatología depresiva; aquellos que presentan ansiedad tienen alterada la velocidad de procesamiento de la información. El lupus eritematoso sistémico como patología autoinmune repercute funcionalmente no sólo en la calidad de vida del paciente y su cotidianidad a nivel motor, también conlleva un perfil de deterioro neuropsicológico que se asocia al momento de manifestación de los síntomas y al tiempo que ha transcurrido hasta establecer el diagnóstico, de los cuales derivan la intensidad y evolución del deterioro neurofuncional.

The objective of this research was to determine the neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric sequelae associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. A comparative-correlational analysis design was proposed, in a study of 68 individuals, a clinical group consisted of 34 patients diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and the control with 34 people in an even condition to each patient, in relation to age, gender and degree. The entire profile of neurocognitive functioning and emotional and behavioral psychiatric symptoms associated with depression and anxiety were analyzed, correlated to variables such as age, time of onset development of the symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and the time of diagnosis after the onset of symptoms. The results suggest patterns of neuropsychiatric pathology characteristic of depression and anxiety disorders such as comorbidity and not as a sequel to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. No difficulties in recognizing complex emotions. With short and long term verbal memory deficit for extensive contents, short and long term visual memory failures. They did not show commitment in processes of comprehension or verbal fluency. With alteration in executive functions, mainly monitoring and regulation of behavior. Failures in attentional processes in patients with depressive symptoms; Those who have anxiety have altered the speed of information processing. The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as autoimmune pathology functionally affects not only the quality of life of the patient and their daily life at motor level, it also entails a neuropsychological deterioration profile that is associated to the moment of symptom manifestation and to the time that has elapsed until the diagnosis was established, from which the intensity and evolution of neurofunctional deterioration derive.

Um projeto de análise comparativo-correlacional foi proposto, em uma amostra de 68 indivíduos, um grupo clínico constituído por 34 pacientes diagnosticados de lúpus eritematoso sistêmico e o controle com 34 pessoas em condição uniforme para cada paciente, em relação à idade, gênero e escolaridade. O perfil completo do funcionamento neurocognitivo e os sintomas psiquiátricos emocionais e comportamentais associados à depressão e à ansiedade foram analisados, correlacionados a variáveis ​​como idade, tempo de início do desenvolvimento dos sintomas do lúpus eritematoso sistêmico e tempo de diagnóstico após o início dos sintomas. Os resultados sugerem padrões de patologia neuropsiquiátrica característica da depressão e transtornos de ansiedade, como uma comorbidade e não como sequela de lúpus eritematoso sistêmico.

Falhas nos processos de atenção em pacientes com sintomas depressivos; aqueles que têm ansiedade alteraram a velocidade de processamento da informação. O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico como uma patologia autoimune afeta funcionalmente não só a qualidade de vida do paciente e sua vida diária no nível motor, mas também um perfil de deterioração neuropsicológica associado ao momento de manifestação dos sintomas e ao tempo decorrido até o estabelecimento do diagnóstico, dos quais resultam a intensidade e evolução da deterioração neurofuncional.

RESUMEN

Adolescent substance abuse is a serious public health concern, and in response to this problem, a number of effective treatment approaches have been developed. Despite this, retaining and engaging adolescents in treatment are 2 major challenges continuously faced by practitioners and clinical researchers. Low retention and engagement rates are especially salient for ethnic minority adolescents because they are at high risk for underutilization of substance abuse treatment compared to their White peers. Latino adolescents, in particular, are part of the fastest growing ethnic minority group in the United States and experience high rates of substance use disorders. Heretofore, the empirical examination of cultural factors that influence treatment retention and engagement has been lacking in the literature. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of the cultural variables ethnic identity, familism, and acculturation on the retention and engagement of Latino adolescents participating in substance abuse treatment. This study used data collected from a sample of Latino adolescent males (N = 96), predominantly of Mexican descent, and largely recruited from the juvenile justice system. Analysis was conducted using generalized regression models for count variables. Results indicated that higher levels of exploration, a subfactor of ethnic identity, and familism were predictive of attendance and engagement. In contrast, higher levels of Anglo orientation, a subfactor of acculturation, were predictive of lower treatment attendance and engagement. Clinical implications for the variables of ethnic identity, acculturation, and familism as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.

RESUMEN

Resolving the many tasks of adolescent development requires resilience. However, understanding the role that resilience plays in adolescent development involves adequate measurement of the construct. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a widely used measure of resilience, but a stable latent factor structure has not been identified across studies. The measure has typically been examined in adult samples while little attention has been given to its use with adolescents in general and ethnic minority adolescents in particular. The primary purpose of the current study is to identify a latent factor structure of the CD-RISC in a sample of primarily Mexican American adolescents (N = 106). Two competing model structures were tested via confirmatory factor analysis and results supported a 7-item unidimensional factor model. Support was also found for the construct validity of the measure in relation to ethnic identity and depressive symptoms for adolescents in this sample. Implications of the study findings for adolescents and avenues of future research are discussed.
