Arteterapia, psicomotricidad, relajación y masaje corporal, como tratamiento complementario en trastornos de la conducta alimentaria / Artetherapy, psychomotricity, relaxation and body massage,as complementary treatment in eating disorders

INTRODUCCIÓN: actualmente el papel de los y las terapeutas ocupacionales es todavía un gran desconocido para la mayoría de la población. En el hospital de día utilizamos las siguientes técnicas para tratar los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria; arteterapia, psicomotricidad, relajación y masaje corporal. Consideramos que la terapia ocupacional es una profesión muy importante dentro del equipo multidisciplinar y, por ello, queremos justificar la efectividad de las intervenciones que realizamos. MÉTODO: realizamos una búsqueda de artículos electrónicos en Pubmed, Scielo y Google Académico, en la que incluimos, principalmente, publicaciones como estudios, investigaciones, revisiones y colaboraciones. La elegibilidad de cada artículo y su calidad metodológica la evaluamos de manera independiente. CONCLUSIÓN: la arteterapia, la psicomotricidad, la relajación y el masaje corporal, son intervenciones que podemos utilizar en terapia ocupacional como tratamiento complementario por su eficacia terapéutica demostrada en la literatura científica para tratar los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria

INTRODUCTION: Currently, the role of occupational therapists is still largely unknown to most of the population. In the Day Hospital the following techniques are used to treat eating disorders; art therapy, psychomotor skills, relaxation and body massages. Occupational Therapy is a very important profession within the multidisciplinary team and, therefore, we want to justify the effectiveness of the interventions that are carried out. METHOD: A search for electronic articles was carried out in Pubmed, Scielo and Google Scholar. Publications such as studies, research, reviews and collaborations were included. The eligibility of each article and its methodological quality were independently assessed. CONCLUSION: Art therapy, psychomotor, relaxation and body massage interventions can be used in Occupational Therapy as a complementary treatment due to their therapeutic efficacy demonstrated in the scientific literature to treat eating disorders

Validation of the Spanish and Catalan versions of the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA).

Outcome measurement in outpatient and day-care mental health facilities for children and adolescents in Spain remains limited, in part due to a lack of validated scales. To address this issue, we translated HoNOSCA (glossary, score sheet, self-rated questionnaire, and parent/legal guardian questionnaire) into Spanish and Catalan using a reverse translation approach. We ascertained the validity and psychometric quality of the HoNOSCA in Spanish by assessing correlation with the Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS). We recruited 64 participants 7-17 years of age in five day-care Psychiatry hospitals in Catalonia (Spain). Two evaluators administered both instruments twice, two weeks apart. Patients and parents/legal guardians completed the corresponding HoNOSCA versions. We calculated Cronbach's alpha for assessing internal consistency, intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) for inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and Pearson's correlation coefficients for validity. We found that all HoNOSCA versions in Spanish presented satisfactory internal consistency, inter-rater and test-retest reliability. Concurrent validity for HoNOSCA-Glossary was also acceptable, with Pearson's coefficients of -0.543 and -0.519 for evaluators in the first administration, and of -0.675 and -0.685 in the second administration. HoNOSCA was also successfully translated into Catalan; acceptability was determined using cognitive interviews.
