RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to explore the tasks, challenges, and perspectives of group-therapy leadership among Mexican American women who are psychotherapists-in-training. The literature regarding counselor and psychotherapist development suggests that culture and gender interact and shape group leadership, along with the group leader's effectiveness, behavior, and style. This study sought to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the experiences of group leadership of Mexican American women who are psychotherapists-in-training (PITs)? (2) What tasks and challenges do Mexican American women PITs encounter as group psychotherapy leaders? Results suggest that Mexican American women group PITs encounter obstacles to group leadership associated with their cultural and professional identities. However, consistent with Anzaldúa's borderlands theory, the Mexican American women group PITs in this study straddle two cultures and competing demands while also turning obstacles into sources of empowerment and strength. Implications for training and supervision of Mexican American women group PITs are discussed.

RESUMO

We report here the discovery of Aedes albopictus for the first time in Sinaloa state, Mexico. The mosquito larvae were collected from small water containers in the urban area of Culiacan city, Sinaloa state. Identification of the species was done primarily by morphology, followed by confirmation with polymerase-chain-reaction-based molecular method.

RESUMO

Exploring risk factors and profiles of intimate partner violence in other countries provides information about whether existing theories of this phenomenon hold consistent in different cultural settings. This study will present results of a regression analysis involving domestic violence among Mexican women (n = 83,159). Significant predictors of domestic violence among Mexican women included age, number of children in the household, income, education, self-esteem, family history of abuse, and controlling behavior of the husband. Women's employment status was not a significant predictor when all variables were included in the model; however, when controlling behavior of the husband was withdrawn from the model, women's employment status was a significant predictor of domestic violence toward women. Results from this research indicate that spousal controlling behavior may serve as a mediator of the predictive relationship between women's employment status and domestic violence among Mexican women. Findings provide support for continued exploration of the factors that mediate experiences of domestic violence among women worldwide.

RESUMO

El virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) ha sido recientemente identificado debido a que desde 1990 se cuenta con pruebas diagnósticas para realizar tamizajes y por ello no se encuentran reportes de la prevalencia de esta enfermedad en el Perú. Se estima que hay una epidemia de hepatitis viral C en nuestro país, en razón que es una patología elevada proporción de asintomáticos, y de larga evolución, hecho que favorece su transmisión. La vía de transmisión, es percutánea, a través de transfusiones sanguíneas, uso de agujas contaminadas por vía sexual. La introducción de la prueba de ELISA para detectar anticuerpos anti-VHC ha permitido su utilización en donantes de sangre a fin de prevenir la infección post-transfusional. Se obtuvo la información de la Unidad de Informática del Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (HNERM) del Seguro Social de Salud (ESSALUD), donde se registran datos de los donantes: edad, sexo y resultados respectivos del tamizaje general al cual son sometidos todas las unidades de sangre donadas en el periodo de mayo-noviembre de 1998. En el Servicio de Medicina transfusional del HNERM se realiza la detección de anticuerpos para hepatitis C con el método ELISA de tercera generación utilizando el kit: Ortho HCV 3.0. De las 12,535 donantes de sangre examinados se hallaron 50 casos con resultados positivos. De los cuales 39 (78%) pertenecían al sexo masculino, y 11 (22%) al sexo femenino, obteniéndose una prevalencia de 0.399% de serología positiva para el virus de la hepatitis C. los donantes del sexo femenino sumaron en total de 1930 y la prevalencia en ese grupo fue de 0.57%. En el sexo masculino se identificó a 10,605 donantes, haciendo una prevalencia de 0.39%. La seroprevalencia predominó en las edades de 41 a 50 años (0.80%) y en segundo lugar en el grupo de 51-60 años (0.53%).

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been recently identified because since 1990 we count with diagnostic assays to do screenings. For this reason there aren’t reports about prevalence of this disease in Peru. It is estimated that there is an outbreak of viral hepatitis C in our country. Facts that favor its transmission are that the disease has a high proportion of asymptomatic patients and long evolution. The route of transmission is percutaneous, through blood transfusions, use of contained needles and by sexual contact. The introduction of the Elisa assay for detection of antibodies against HCV has allowed its utilization on blood donors with the purpose of preventing post transfusion infection. Information was obtained from the informatics unit of the Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (HNERM) of the health social security system (ESSALUD). We registered the following data: age, sex and results of the screening of all donated blood units between May and November of 1998. In the Transfusion Medical Service of the HNERM detection of hepatitis C antibodies is done with the third generation ELISA method (using the Ortho HCV 3.0 kit). Of 12,535 blood’s donors exanimated, we found 50 cases with positive results. Among these, 39 (785) were male and 11 (22%) were female. The prevalence of hepatitis C positive serology was 0.399%. Female donors added a total of 1930 and the prevalence in this group was 0.57%. Male donors added 10,605, with a prevalence of 0.39%. The seroprevalence predominated in the age group 41 – 50 (0.8%) and in second place the age group 51-60 (0.53%):
