ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Suicide is among the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. The impact of suicide affects the personal, social and economic levels. Therefore, its prevention is a priority for public health systems. Previous studies seem to support the efficacy of providing active contact to people who have made a suicide attempt. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the efficacy of distance suicide prevention strategies implemented through synchronous technology-based interventions. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol is designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. The bibliographical searches were conducted in the databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science in April 2022, with no restrictions on the time of publication and limited to publications in English or Spanish. The search strategy was performed using free-text terms and Medical Subject Headings terms: suicide, follow-up, synchronous, remote, telehealth, telephone, hotline, video-conference and text message. Two reviewers will independently conduct study screening, selection process, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The analysis and synthesis of the results will be both qualitative and quantitative. A narrative synthesis, presented in a comprehensive table, will be performed and meta-analysis will be conducted, as appropriate, if sufficient data are provided. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The present review and meta-analysis will not require ethical approval, as it will use data collected from previously published primary studies. The findings of this review will be published in peer-reviewed journals and widely disseminated. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42021275044.

Widespread population vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a matter of great interest to public health as it is the main pharmacological measure to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Hesitancy/reluctance to vaccination has become a main barrier to containing the pandemic. Young adults are the age group with the greatest resistance to vaccination, even in countries with the highest vaccination rates during this pandemic. The objective of this study was to identify the main predictive factors of vaccination intention and profile people with hesitancy/reluctance to vaccinate against SARS-CoV-2 virus in young adults living in Spain during the pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted based on the administration of an online survey (PSY-COVID-2) that evaluated the intention of vaccination together with a wide range of sociodemographic, social, cognitive, behavioral and affective variables in a sample of 2210 young adults. 14% of the sample showed hesitancy/reluctance to vaccination at the beginning of their vaccination campaign. A total of 35 factors were associated (small to medium effect sizes) with the intention to get vaccinated. A reduced set of 4 attitudinal and social variables explained 41% of the variability in vaccination intention: attitude to the vaccination, trust in health staff/scientists, conspiracy beliefs about SARS-CoV-2 and time spent being informed about COVID-19. These variables showed good sensitivity/specificity for classifying people as reluctant/not reluctant to vaccination, properly classifying 86% of people. Psychosocial processes related to attitudes, trust and information are the main predictors of vaccination intention in a highly reluctant group such as the young adult population.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a health problem among patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Telehealth technology has become an emerging intervention that may offer opportunities to reach this at-risk group. However, to consider the implementation of telehealth systems in the prevention of suicidal behaviors in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, a review of the evidence is required. The present aim was to explore the effectiveness of telephone-based suicide prevention programs among patients with schizophrenia and related disorders. METHODS: A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases following PRISMA guidelines. Two reviewers performed the selection, data extraction and methodological quality assessment. A total of 352 articles were retrieved, of which five studies met the eligibility criteria. RESULTS: Globally, an adherence was observed ranging from 78 to 100%. Three studies reported a reduction in suicidal ideation and two studies showed a reduction in the risk of relapse observed in the intervention group compared to a control group. CONCLUSIONS: In accordance with the limited data available, the use of a telephone contact approach appears to be feasible and effective in schizophrenia patients with suicidal behaviors. The preliminary evidence also suggests that this system appears to reduce suicidal ideation. Further research is required to design evidence-based future interventions and to determine whether this approach can improve patient outcomes.
ABSTRACT
El presenteestudio explora la relación entre prácticas educativas parentales y/o estilos educativos parentales sobre conductasinternalizantes y externalizantes. Se evaluaron las prácticas educativas parentales en una muestra constituida por 43niños y adolescentes de 7-14 años, los estilos educativos parentales y la psicopatología mediante el APQ y el CBCL, res-pectivamente. Los resultados sugieren que menor implicación parental, elevada inconsistencia en la disciplina y uso decastigo corporal se relacionan con conductas externalizantes. Asimismo, los estilos educativos autoritarios, permisivosy/o negligentes se relacionan con conductas internalizantes y externalizantes. En conclusión, se manifiesta la relevan-cia de promocionar prácticas educativas parentales adaptativas, contribuyendo en la implementación de programasespecíficos basados en la evidencia para progenitores.(AU)
Thepresent study explores the relationship between parental educational practices and/or parental educational styles oninternalizing and externalising behaviours. Parental educational practices, parental educational styles, and psycho-pathology were assessed in a sample consisted of 43 children and adolescents aged between 7-14 years using theAPQ and the CBCL, respectively. The results suggest that less parental involvement, high inconsistency in discipline,and use of corporal punishment are related to externalising behaviours. Likewise, authoritarian, permissive, and/ornegligent educational styles are related to internalising and externalising behaviours. In conclusion, the relevance ofpromoting adaptive parental educational practices, contributing to the implementation of specific evidence-basedprogrammes for parents, is evident.(AU)
Aquest estudi explora la relació entre pràctiques educatives parentals i/o estils educatius parentals sobre conduc-tes internalitzants i externalitzants. Es van avaluar les pràctiques educatives parentals, els estils educatius parentalsi la psicopatologia en una mostra constituïda per 43 nens i adolescents de 7 a 14 anys mitjançant lAPQ i el CBCL,respectivament. Els resultats suggereixen que menor implicació parental, elevada inconsistència a la disciplina i úsde càstig corporal es relacionen amb conductes externalitzants. Així mateix, els estils educatius autoritaris, permis-sius i/o negligents es relacionen amb conductes internalitzants i externalitzants. En conclusió, es manifesta la relle-vància de promocionar pràctiques educatives parentals adaptatives, contribuint a la implementació de programesespecífics basats en levidència per a progenitors.(AU)
