Efectividad audiovisual del monitoreo independiente del bienestar fetal sobre el apego materno-fetal y los resultados del parto / Audiovisual Effectiveness of Independent Fetal Well-being Monitoring on Mother-Fetus Attachment and Birth Outcomes

Introducción: El vínculo madre-feto juega un papel importante en la atención del embarazo, impactando los resultados del nacimiento. El monitoreo del movimiento fetal es una competencia fundamental para que las mujeres embarazadas lo hagan de manera independiente. Objetivo: Producir monitoreo audiovisual del movimiento fetal independiente y probar su efectividad en el apego materno-fetal y los resultados del parto. Métodos: La etapa I, desarrollo de Monitoreo de Bienestar Fetal Audiovisual, con estudio de literatura, etapas, desarrollo de escenarios, creación de audiovisuales, prueba de validez de expertos. La etapa 2 probó la efectividad de los medios audiovisuales sobre el apego materno-fetal con el instrumento Inventario de Apego Prenatal y los resultados del nacimiento a partir del peso del bebé al nacer. Diseño de un verdadero enfoque experimental de grupo de control pretest-postest. Muestras de mujeres embarazadas con antecedentes de atención prenatal en el Centro de Salud Kasihan II, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia con los siguientes criterios: embarazo único, normal, edad gestacional de 28 a 36 semanas. Los encuestados de 60 sujetos se dividieron en grupos experimentales y de control. Los datos normales se probaron mediante la prueba t pareada, la prueba t independiente y MANOVA. Resultados: Puntaje de prueba de validez de experto en contenido 81% muy válido, puntaje de validez de experto en medios 80.33%, válido. La aplicación audiovisual mostró los resultados de la prueba t pareada, tanto en el grupo experimental como en el control hubo diferencias en el pretest y postest, P<0.05. La prueba t de muestra independiente P < 0,05 y los resultados MANOVA simultáneos mostraron una puntuación de apego materno-fetal y un resultado del nacimiento P < 0,05 (AU)

Introduction: The mother-fetus bond plays an important role in pregnancy care, impacting birth outcomes. Monitoring fetal movement is a fundamental competence for pregnant women to do independently. Objective: to produce audiovisual monitoring of independent fetal movement and prove its effectiveness on maternal-fetal attachment and birth outcomes. Methods: Phase I, developing Audiovisual Fetal Well-being Monitoring, with literature study steps, developing scenarios, creating audiovisuals, testing the validity of experts. Stage 2 tested the effectiveness of audiovisual media on maternal-fetal attachment with the Prenatal Attachment Inventory instrument and birth outcomes from infant birth weight. Design of true experimental pretest-posttest control group approach. Samples of pregnant women with a history of antenatal care at the Kasihan II Health Center, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia with the following criteria: single pregnancy, normal, gestational age 28-36 weeks. Respondents of 60 subjects were divided into experimental and control groups. Normal data were tested by paired t test, independent t-test and MANOVA. Results: Content expert validity test score 81% very valid, media expert validity score 80.33%, valid. The audiovisual application showed the results of the paired t-test, both in the experimental and control groups there were differences in pretest and posttest, P <0.05. Independent sample t-test P < 0.05 and simultaneous MANOVA results showed maternal-fetal attachment score and birth outcome P < 0.05. Conclusion: Independent monitoring of fetal well-being using audiovisual media simultaneously affects the increase in maternal-fetal attachment scores and birth outcomes so it is recommended that second trimester pregnant women be taught techniques for counting fetal movements and practicing them routinely (AU)

Overcoming the civil wars: the role of attachment styles between the impact of war and psychological symptoms and post-traumatic growth among Libyan citizens.

Background: Civil wars in Libya have impacted the mental health of the general population. The ways in which individuals cope with traumatic events are influenced by several psychological variables.Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate how post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are associated with psychological symptoms and post-traumatic growth (PTG), and to evaluate the role of avoidant and anxious attachment dimensions as mediators in these associations, among Libyan citizens.Method: Three-hundred participants (147 females; age 31.0 ± 8.4 years) completed the Impact of Event Scale - Revised, Experiences in Close Relationships, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Post-traumatic Growth Inventory - Short Form.Results: The structural equation model revealed that insecure attachment dimensions mediated the association between PTSS and psychological symptoms and PTG. PTSS were positively associated with psychological symptoms, PTG, and both insecure attachment dimensions. Insecure attachment dimensions were positively associated with psychological symptoms and negatively with PTG.Conclusion: The present findings contribute to growing empirical research on the roles of insecure attachment dimensions in the association between the impact of war, psychological symptoms, and PTG.

Insecure attachment dimensions mediated the association between the impact of war and psychological symptoms, as well as posttraumatic growth, among Libyan citizens.Higher psychological symptoms were negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth.Psychological interventions should consider insecure attachment dimensions, when evaluating the consequences of prolonged and repeated wars.

Vejez y teoría del apego, una revisión sistemática de la tipología del apego, continuidad, prevalencia y asociación con variables psicológicas y de salud en los mayores / Old age and attachment theory, a systematic review of attachment typology, continuity, prevalence and association with psychological and health variables in older adults

El objetivo de este trabajo es el de revisar la investigación sobre la teoría del apego durante la vejez en los últimos 10 años, con la finalidad de obtener: a) la prevalencia de los diferentes tipos de apego, b) la descripción de los métodos de evaluación, c) la relación que se establece entre el apego y otras variables psicosociales y de salud, en el proceso de envejecimiento. Una búsqueda sistemática en PsycINFO, PsycArticles, WOS y Scopus identificó 17 estudios, en los que se había evaluado el apego en una población de 7.118 adultos mayores. Los resultados presentan una clara evolución y algunas diferencias respecto a la anterior revisión sistemática del año 2010. Respecto a la prevalencia de los diferentes tipos de apego, el apego seguro y el apego evitativo son más frecuentes en la vejez que en la adultez o en la juventud. No existe consenso sobre los instrumentos utilizados para la evaluación, y se presentan resultados que asocian el apego inseguro con la depresión, satisfacción vital, enfermedad física y soledad. El constructo del apego aparece como una variable explicativa y mediadora, directamente implicada en la psicología y psicopatología de la vejez (AU)

The aim of this paper is to review the research on attachment theory during old age in the last 10 years, in order to obtain: a) the prevalence of different types of attachment, b) the assessment of attachment methods, c) the relationship established between attachment and other psychosocial and health variables in the aging process. A systematic search of PsycINFO, PsycArticles, WOS, and Scopus identified 17 studies, in which attachment had been assessed in a population of 7118 older adults. The results of this research present a clear evolution and some differences, with respect to the previous systematic 2010 review. Regarding the prevalence of the different types of attachment, it is confirmed that secure attachment and avoidant attachment are more abundant in old age than in adulthood or youth people. There is no consensus on the instruments used for the evaluation, and results are presented that associate insecure attachment with depression, life satisfaction, physical illness and loneliness. The attachment construct appears as an explanatory and mediating variable, directly involved in the psychology and psychopathology of old age (AU)

Divorcio parental, apego a los padres y satisfacción con la vida en adolescentes chilenos: un estudio comparativo

Si bien existen una serie de avances en la comprensión de los efectos del divorcio sobre el bienestar y desarrollo de los adolescentes, un aspecto que requiere mayor exploración es si existen variaciones en la satisfacción con la vida y la calidad de los vínculos de apego entre adolescentes que han experimentado o no el divorcio de sus padres. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar diferencias en la satisfacción con la vida y en la calidad del apego a la madre y al padre entre adolescentes provenientes de familias intactas y quienes han experimentado el divorcio de sus padres. Mediante un estudio de corte transversal, se evaluó una muestra de 421 adolescentes chilenos entre 12 y 17 años, siendo un 54,6% hijos de padres casados y un 45,4% hijos de padres divorciados. Los análisis de diferencias de medias mediante pruebas t permitieron identificar que la satisfacción con la vida es mayor en los hijos de familias intactas. Asimismo, se detectaron diferencias en la calidad del apego hacia el padre, pero no hacia la madre. En específico, los hijos de padres divorciados reportaron menor calidad de la comunicación, menor confianza mutua y mayor alienación con sus padres que los hijos de familias intactas. Estos resultados, discutidos desde una perspectiva clínica, avanzan en la comprensión de los efectos del divorcio en adolescentes chilenos.

While there have been several advances in understanding the effects of divorce on the well-being and development of adolescents, one aspect that requires further exploration is whether there are variations in life satisfaction and the quality of attachment relationships among adolescents who have experienced their parents' divorce and those who have not. The present study aimed to assess differences in life satisfaction and the quality of attachment to both mothers and fathers among adolescents from intact families and those who have experienced their parents' divorce. Through a cross-sectional study, a sample of 421 Chilean adolescents aged 12 to 17 was evaluated, with 54.6% being children of married parents and 45.4% being children of divorced parents. Mean difference analyses using t-tests revealed that life satisfaction is higher among children from intact families. Additionally, differences in the quality of attachment to the father, but not to the mother, were detected. Specifically, children of divorced parents reported lower quality of communication, less mutual trust, and greater alienation from their parents than children from intact families. These results, discussed from a clinical perspective, contribute to the understanding of the effects of divorce on Chilean adolescents.

Psychometric Properties of the Inventory of Parents-Peer Attachment (IPPA) in Adolescents with Behavioural Problems / Propiedades psicométricas del Inventario de Apego a Padres-Iguales (IPPA) en adolescentes con problemas de comportamiento

Background: The Inventory of Parental-Peer Attachment (IPPA) is an internationally recognized measure to assess the attachment of adolescents to their parents and peers. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the IPPA in a sample of Spanish adolescents with behavioural problems. Method: The sample was composed of 294 Spanish adolescents (53% girls) with behavioural problems. The IPPA mother, father, and peer versions, along with other related measures, were administered. Results: The 25-item scale, distributed into three factors, was confirmed for both the mother and father versions but not for the peer version. The IPPA showed adequate values of reliability ranging from .79 to .86. Validity was demonstrated through correlations with emotional intelligence, antisocial behaviour, and aggressiveness. Conclusion: The three-factor version of the IPPA is a useful, reliable, and valid scale to assess the attachment of adolescents with problematic behaviours and their parents. (AU)

Antecedentes: El Inventario de Apego a Padres e Iguales (IPPA) es un instrumento reconocido internacionalmente para evaluar el apego de adolescentes hacia padres e iguales. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido examinar las propiedades psicométricas del IPPA en una muestra de adolescentes españoles con problemas de conducta. Método: La muestra estaba compuesta por 294 adolescentes españoles (53% chicas) con problemas de conducta. Se administraron las versiones de IPPA madre, IPPA padre e IPPA iguales, junto con otras medidas relacionadas. Resultados: Se ha confirmado la escala de 25 ítems, distribuida en tres factores, para la versión IPPA madre e IPPA padre, pero no para la versión de iguales. El IPPA ha mostrado valores adecuados de fiabilidad que oscilaban entre .79 y .86. La validez se demostró mediante las correlaciones significativas con las variables inteligencia emocional, conducta antisocial y agresividad. Conclusiones: La versión de tres factores del IPPA es una escala útil, fiable y válida para evaluar el vínculo de adolescentes que muestran conductas problemáticas con sus padres. (AU)

La influencia de los estilos de apego y los rasgos de personalidad en el sentido de comunidad en barrios de España y Colombia / The Influence of Attachment Styles and Personality Traits on the Sense ofa Community in Neighborhoods in Spain and Colombi

El sentido de comunidad es uno de los procesos más investigados en psicología comunitaria. Desde su formulación inicial, la pertenencia a estructuras sociales y geográficas más amplias forma parte de la definición del concepto. La investigación sobre el tema ha solido centrarse en el análisis de los factores ambientales y colectivos que modulan la integración de los individuos en grupos y comunidades y ha prestado menos atención a los aspectos individuales que orientan las interacciones directas que las personas mantienen en estos espacios. En este estudio analizamos la relación de los estilos apego individual y los rasgos de personalidad sobre el sentido de comunidad en 305 entrevistados de diversos barrios de Sevilla (España) y Barranquilla (Colombia). Los resultados muestran un efecto predictivo modesto del estilo de apego seguro y la amabilidad principalmente sobre las dimensiones de self y pertenencia del sentido de comunidad. Estos resultados evidencian la necesidad de tener en cuenta diferentes niveles de análisis en la evaluación de la pertenencia a contextos comunitarios y la utilidad de definir modelos que incluyan la interacción de factores individuales y contextuales en su explicación (AU)

Sense of Community is one of the most researched processes in Community Psychology. Since its initial formulation, belonging to broader social and geographical structures has been part of the definition of the concept. Research on the topic has tended to focus on the analysis of the environmental and collective factors that modulate the integration of individuals into groups and communities and has paid less attention to the individual aspects that guide the direct interactions that people have in these spaces. In this study we analyse the relationship between individual attachment styles and personality traits on the sense of community in 305 respondents from different neighborhoods in Seville (Spain) and Barranquilla (Colombia). The results show a modest predictive effect of secure attachment style and agreeableness mainly on the self and belonging dimensions of sense of community. These results show the need to take into account different levels of analysis in the assessment of belonging to community contexts and the usefulness of defining models that include the interaction of individual and contextual factors in their explanation (AU)

Perceived parental depression and PTSD in adolescents: mediating roles of attachment insecurity and coping style.

Background: Earthquakes can cause negative psychological states in adolescents and their parents, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that adolescents who perceive parental depression after an earthquake are more likely to experience PTSD. However, the mechanism underlying this process remains unclear and previous studies have not examined the association between these factors.Objective: The current study explored the mediating roles of attachment insecurity and coping style in the association between perceived parental depression and PTSD in adolescents after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake.Method: In total, 391 participants completed follow-up questionnaires at 12, 21, and 27 months (T1-T3, respectively) after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake.Results: T1 perceived parental depression was not a direct predictor of T3 PTSD in adolescents. In the full mediation model, T1 perceived parental depression predicted T3 PTSD in adolescents indirectly via T2 attachment insecurities through T2 emotion-focused coping.Conclusion: The findings highlight that attachment insecurity and emotion-focused coping mediated the relationship between perceived parental depression and PTSD in adolescents following an earthquake. To alleviate PTSD in adolescents, efforts should be directed toward reducing perceived parental depressive symptoms and emotion-focused coping, and promoting the formation of secure attachment styles.

Perceived parental depression after an earthquake is associated with subsequent PTSD symptoms in adolescents indirectly.Attachment insecurity and coping styles mediate the relationship between perceived parental depression and PTSD in adolescents.Therapy should focus on adolescents' emotional processing after an earthquake to help them cope without resorting to emotion-focused coping.

Romantic relationship dissolutions are significantly associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms as compared to a DSM-5 Criterion A event: a case-case-control comparison.

Background: Non-marital romantic relationship dissolutions (RRDs) are common among emerging adult students (EAS) and may result in severe distress and suicidality. However, studies on RRDs in youth are limited to mental health sequelae of depression and prolonged grief. Little is known about the association between RRDs and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and how this compares to posttraumatic stress symptoms following a traumatogenic event.Objective: We aimed to determine the association between RRDs and PTSS in an EAS sample; and how this compared to the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition (DSM-5) traumatic event.Method: University students (N = 2,022; female = 71.1%; 18-25 years) completed a demographic and relationship questionnaire, the Life Events Checklist, the Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire, and the Posttraumatic Stress Checklist (PCL). We compared EAS with an RRD (n = 886) or a DSM-5 criterion A traumatic event (n = 592) against a control group (n = 544) exposed to a non-traumatic stressful life event. Utilising ANOVAs and Pearson's correlations we determined demographic and clinical variables associated with PTSS. ANCOVA and stepwise hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine between-group differences in PTSS.Results: Total trauma exposure and adverse childhood experiences, sex, monthly income, sexual orientation, and attachment style were significantly associated with PTSS. The RRD group had significantly higher PCL scores compared to the DSM and control groups. The mean PCL scores for both the RRD and DSM groups were above the cut-off score of 33, consistent with a probable posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis. Significantly more RRD participants (72.9%) scored above the cut-off score of 33 than DSM-5 Trauma Group participants (55.4%).Conclusion: An RRD is a potentially traumatic event and is significantly associated with PTSS, similar to a posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis.

Students may experience non-marital romantic relationship breakups as very painful, with various negative psychological, physical, and academic consequences. However, their painful experiences are often trivialised as something to 'just get over' and not acknowledged as potentially traumatic. Yet, using an attachment theory framework, breakups can be reconceptualised as subjectively traumatic.We explored the differences in posttraumatic stress symptoms of students who experienced a breakup, a traumatic event (as defined in psychiatry), and other non-traumatic life events. Students who experienced a breakup reported significantly highly posttraumatic stress symptoms.Acknowledging students' pain following a self-defined traumatic breakup can increase help-seeking behaviour and reduce the risk of intergenerational attachment trauma. Our findings warrant further research of breakups as potentially traumatogenic events.

Validación Chilena del Cuestionario de Evaluación de Apego en el adulto CaMir versión abreviada

El Cuestionario de Evaluación de Apego en el adulto CaMir, es un instrumento de auto-reporte basado en la Teoría del Apego que evalúa los modelos de relación en adultos y permite describir las estrategias de apego. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue desarrollar una versión breve para el contexto chileno, para lo cual se llevaron a cabo dos estudios. En el Estudio 1 se obtuvo una versión reducida del CaMir bajo una estrategia de validación cruzada. En el Estudio 2, se aplicó la versión reducida obtenida en el estudio 1 a una amplia muestra de adultos/as chilenos/as (n=1246). Los resultados muestran evidencias que apoyan la estructura interna propuesta, y los análisis de invarianza apoyan la existencia de equivalencia/invarianza de medida entre hombres y mujeres. Adicionalmente, esta versión obtuvo correlaciones significativas con la Escala de Dificultades de Regulación Emocional, el cuestionario de Experiencias en Relaciones Cercanas y la Escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos. En síntesis, los resultados muestran que esta nueva versión abreviada del CaMir, es un instrumento apropiado para el estudio de los modelos de relación y las estrategias de apego en adultos/as chilenos/as.

The CaMir Adult Attachment Assessment Questionnaire is a self-report instrument based on Attachment Theory that assesses relationship models in adults and allows describing attachment strategies. The objective of this research was to develop a short version for the Chilean context. The results of two studies are presented. In Study 1, a reduced version of CaMir was obtained under a cross-validation strategy. In Study 2, the reduced version obtained in Study 1 was applied to a large sample of Chilean adults (n=1246). The results show evidence that supports the proposed internal structure, and the invariance analysis support the existence of equivalence/invariance of measurement between men and women. Additionally, this version obtained significant correlations with the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. In summary, the results show that this new abbreviated version of the CaMir is an appropriate instrument for the study of relationship models and attachment strategies in Chilean adults.

Apego Adulto y Soltería: Validación de una Escala / Adult Attachment and Singleness: Validation of a Scale

Resumen El apego es un vínculo afectivo que caracteriza y moldea las relaciones interpersonales cercanas. Los estilos de apego son el conjunto de conocimientos, expectativas e inseguridades que se sostienen sobre el sí mismo y los demás. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue elaborar una escala que evalúe el apego adulto no solo en el contexto romántico, sino con otros significativos, lo que permitirá el estudio de las personas sin pareja. Se realizaron tres estudios: en el estudio uno se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio (n=400); en el estudio dos un análisis factorial confirmatorio (n=700). Se obtuvo una escala compuesta por 16 reactivos distribuidos en cuatro factores: preocupado, temeroso, evitante y seguro. La varianza explicada fue del 38.09%, con un índice de fiabilidad con un rango de 0.46 a 0.82 en los distintos factores. En el estudio tres se analizó la validez concurrente (n=201). En los tres estudios se encontraron diferencias entre las personas con pareja y sin pareja, puntuando más alto en seguridad las primeras y más alto en apego ansioso aquellas sin pareja. Se obtuvo una escala válida, confiable, culturalmente relevante que evalúa el apego adulto no solo en el ámbito romántico, sino con otros significativos.

Abstract The attachment is an affective bond that characterizes and shapes close interpersonal relationships. Attachment styles are the set of knowledge, expectations and insecurities about oneself and others. The aim of this research was to develop a scale with adequate psychometric properties, that allows to assess adult attachment not only in a romantic context, but with significant others in general. It will allow the study of groups such as single people. To address that aim, three studies were conducted in which men and women form Mexico City participated voluntarily. In study one an exploratory factor analysis was performed (n=400), in study two a confirmatory factor analysis was performed (n=700). As a result of these studies, it was obtained a scale compounded by 16 items distributed in four factors: preoccupied, fearful, dismissing, and secure. The explained variance was 38.09%, with a reliability index of 0.46 to 0.82 in the different factors. In study three concurrent validity was analyzed (n=201). Differences between people with a partner and single were found in the three studies, scoring higher in security the first and single people scoring higher in preoccupied attachment. It was obtained a valid, reliable, and culturally relevant scale to assess adult attachment not only in the romantic ambit, but also in relation to significant others like family and friends.

Validity of the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale-Spanish Version for Mexican Pregnant Women / Validez de la Escala de Apego Prenatal Materno: versión en español para mujeres mexicanas embarazadas

During pregnancy, parents experiment emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to their unborn child as precursors of attachment in the caretaker-infant dyad. The Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) is an instrument that has shown adequate psychometric properties to evaluate this construct in developed countries. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and concurrent validity of the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale-Spanish version for Mexican women (MAAS-Spanish version). A sample of 142 women in their third trimester of pregnancy who received care in a tertiary hospital was selected. The full scale of the MAAS-Spanish version obtained a Cronbach alpha of .79. A significant negative correlation was found between the global MAAS-Spanish version score (r = -.23, p ≤ .01) and the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised and depressive symptoms (r = -.36 , p ≤ .01). The translated and adapted scale has adequate internal consistency and concurrent validity to measure this construct in this population. ()AU)

Mentalización, estilo de apego y afrontamiento al estrés en una muestra poblacional de la Costa Atlántica colombiana durante la cuarentena por el COvID-19 / Mentalizing, Attachment Style, and Coping During the COvID-19 Quarantine in Colombia / Mentalização, estilo de apego e enfrentamento do estresse em uma amostra populacional da Costa Atlântica colombiana durante a quarentena causada pelo COvID-19

El objetivo de este artículo es describir la relación de la mentalización y el estilo de apego sobre el afrontamiento del estrés durante la cuarentena por COVID-19 en Colombia. En el estudio participaron 253 personas, de las cuales 68 fueron hombres, 184 mujeres y 1 se identificó como otro. Los participantes se eligieron mediante un muestreo no probabilístico de tipo bola de nieve y el cuestionario de datos se distribuyó por redes sociales. Como instrumentos de investigación se utilizó el Cuestionario de Afrontamiento frente al Estrés (CAE) ­la forma revisada de la EEC-R­, medida de autoinforme diseñada para evaluar siete estilos básicos de afrontamiento; el Cuestionario de Experiencias en Relaciones Cercanas-revisado (ECR) y el Cuestionario de Función Reflexiva (RfQ-8). En los resultados se encontraron correlaciones entre el estilo de apego y la mentalización con el estilo de afrontamiento frente al estrés durante el aislamiento por la pandemia de COVID-19. Se evidenció que un estilo de apego seguro facilita estilos de afrontamiento más adaptativos, a diferencia de los estilos de apego ansioso y evitativo que están más relacionados con estilos de afrontamiento como la auto focalización negativa y la evitación.

This study aimed to describe the relationship between mentalization and attachment style in coping with stress during the COVID-19 quarantine in Colombia. In this study 253 people participated of which 68 were men, 184 were women and 1 was defined as other; the partici- pants were chosen through a non-probabilistic snowball sampling where the questionnaire was distributed in social networks. As instruments, the CAE is the revised form of the EEC-R; a self-report measure designed to assess seven basic coping styles, the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR) questionnaire and the Reflective Function Questionnaire (RfQ-8) were used. The results found correlations between attachment style and mentalization with coping style in the face of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic isolation. Finding that a secure attachment style facilitates more adaptive coping styles, as opposed to anxious and avoidant attachment styles that are more related to coping styles such as negative self-focus and avoidance.

Neste estudo, participaram 253 pessoas, das quais 68 eram homens, 184 eram mulheres e 1 definido como outro; os participantes foram escolhidos por meio de uma amostragem não probabilística em bola de neve onde o questionário foi distribuído nas redes sociais. Como instrumentos foram usados, o CAE, que é a forma revisada do EEC-R; medida de autorrelato projetada para avaliar sete estilos básicos de enfren- tamento, o questionário Experiencias em Relaciona- mentos Próximos-revisado (ECR) e o Questionário de Funcionamento Reflexivo (RfQ-8). Nos resultados, foram encontradas correlações entre o estilo de apego e a mentalização com o estilo de enfrentamento do estresse durante o isolamento devido à pandemia de COVID-19. Descobriu-se que um estilo de apego seguro facilita estilos de enfrentamento mais adaptativos, ao contrário dos estilos de apego ansioso e evitativo, que estão mais relacionados a estilos de enfrentamento, como autofoco negativo e evitação.

Childbirth, trauma and family relationships.

Background: Childbirth is a major life event with expected positive outcomes, yet for some women postnatal psychopathological symptoms may harm women's interpersonal relationships. We hypothesized that higher levels of postnatal depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms, and fear of childbirth would be associated with mother-baby bond disorders and relationship dissatisfaction in couples.Method: A cross-sectional self-report online questionnaire was used to survey partnered women who had delivered in the year prior to the study. We used a convenience sample of 228 women recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Childbirth experience, PTSD symptoms, attachment style, depression, mother-baby bond disorders, and couple relationship dissatisfaction were measured.Results: Women with higher PTSD and postnatal depression scores reported higher levels of mother-baby bond disorders-a relationship fully mediated by postnatal depression symptoms. Women who perceived childbirth as fearful or anxiety provoking had higher levels of PTSD and postnatal depression symptoms. Fearful and anxious birth perception was positively associated with mother-baby bond disorders-an association partly mediated by PTSD symptoms. Insecure attachment style was not found to be significantly associated with fearful or anxious perceptions of childbirth.Limitations: Women who have postnatal PTSD/depression are less inclined to participate in a study of this nature. Also, online surveys prevented the use of clinical diagnoses of PTSD and depression.Discussion and conclusions: Our results suggest that PTSD and postnatal depression affect women's mental health and family bonding. Women should be assessed for negative traumatic birth experiences, PTSD, and depression, to allow targeted observation for psychopathologies and therapeutic interventions.

Depression, not posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is related to increased couple dissatisfaction.Both PTSD and depression are related to increased mother-baby bond disorders.Fear of childbirth increases as symptoms of PTSD and depression increase.

Propuesta de Valores de Referencia para el Cuestionario de Evaluación del Apego Adulto: Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-12), en población adulta chilena / Reference values for the Adult Attachment Assessment Questionnaire: Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-12) in the Chilean Adult Population

El cuestionario de Experiencias en Relaciones Cercanas (ECR) es un instrumento de auto-reporte ampliamente utilizado para evaluar el apego en la adultez, a partir de dos dimensiones: la ansiedad y la evitación asociadas al apego. Este instrumento ha sido adaptado en múltiples contextos, incluyendo el chileno, del cual existe una versión abreviada (ECR-12), objeto de análisis del presente estudio. Si bien existe consenso en que la seguridad en el apego es mejor descrita en términos dimensionales, hay ámbitos, como en la práctica clínica donde contar con valores de referencia podría ser de utilidad. El objetivo de este estudio es proveer valores de referencia para la interpretación de los valores del ECR-12 en el contexto chileno. Para ello, una muestra de 6779 participantes respondió el ECR-12. Se utilizó el método de puntuación z con normalización para obtener los valores de referencia. Los análisis realizados evidenciaron la necesidad de construir baremos diferenciados por edad. Así, para el grupo de 29 años o menos, el punto de corte en la dimensión de ansiedad es de un promedio igual o superior a 4.4 puntos, y para la evitación, el punto de corte es de un promedio igual o superior a 2.5. En cambio, para el grupo de 30 años o más, el punto de corte en la dimensión de ansiedad es de un promedio igual o superior a 4.2, y para la evitación, es de un promedio igual o superior a 2.9. Estos hallazgos pueden ser relevantes no sólo para identificar a personas que puedan presentar niveles sustancialmente altos de ansiedad y/o evitación en el apego, sino, también puede constituirse como una herramienta clínica complementaria en contextos terapéuticos.

The Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) questionnaire is a widely used self-report measure to assess adult attachment, based on two dimensions: attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. This instrument has been adapted in multiple contexts, including the Chilean, for which there is an abbreviated version (ECR-12), that is the object of analysis in the present study. Although there is consensus that attachment security is best described in dimensional terms, there are areas, such as clinical practice, where having reference values could be useful. The aim of this study is to provide reference values for the interpretation of ECR-12 scores in the Chilean context. To do this, a sample of 6779 participants was evaluated using the ECR-12. The z-score normalization method was used to obtain the reference values. The analyzes carried out showed the need to build scales differentiated by age. Thus, for the group of 29 years or less, the cut-off point in the anxiety dimension is an average equal to or greater than 4.4 points, and for avoidance, the cut-off point is an average equal to or greater than 2.5. On the other hand, for the group aged 30 or older, the cut-off point in the anxiety dimension is an average equal to or greater than 4.2, and for avoidance, it is an average equal to or greater than 2.9. These findings can be relevant not only for identifying people who may present substantially high levels of anxiety and/or avoidance in attachment, but also as a complementary clinical tool in therapeutic contexts.

Narrativas de mulheres mães: vivências e ressignificações diante da prematuridade extrema / Narratives of women mothers: experiences and resignifications in the face of extreme prematurity / Narrativas de mujeres madres: vivencias y resignificaciones frente a la prematuridad extrema

OBJETIVO: A partir do nascimento pré-termo, a maternidade é convocada prematuramente, pois o tempo final da gestação não pode ser vivido e o que foi idealizado não se concretiza. Dessa forma, a mulher mãe precisa ressignificar seu papel e a própria maternidade, reestruturando seu sistema cuidador para dar conta da situação real que se apresenta. O nascimento prematuro insere muitas dificuldades para a mulher, influenciando em momentos estressantes e deflagrando sentimentos de frustação, culpa, ansiedade, tristeza, medo, entre outros. OBJETIVO: Compreender as dificuldades, emoções e sentimentos presentes durante o nascimento e hospitalização dos recém-nascidos pré-termos extremos e como a(s) maternidade(s) puderam ir se construindo nesse contexto. MÉTODO: Estudo qualitativo, com coleta de narrativas de mulheres que compartilharam suas experiências em um site especializado na internet. A análise foi realizada a partir da Análise de Conteúdo, utilizando como embasamento teórico a teoria do apego. RESULTADOS: As narrativas retratam uma alta expectativa em relação ao nascimento dos bebês, bem como a frustração e angústia geradas a partir da necessidade de uma separação brusca e literal. Ainda, os momentos foram marcados por uma rotina exaustiva e pelo medo do bebê vir a óbito, além da necessidade de aprenderem a reconhecer os sinais sutis dos bebês e construir modos de cuidados possíveis. As narrativas trabalhadas foram/são uma maneira que elas encontraram para relatar suas histórias e de ressignificar o vivido. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Destaca-se a importância de haver o reconhecimento das vivências maternas nesse contexto para que melhorias no acolhimento prestado e construção de políticas públicas sejam possíveis de serem realizadas.

OBJECTIVE: From preterm birth, motherhood is called prematurely, as the final period of pregnancy cannot be lived and what was idealized does not come true. Thus, the mother-woman needs to reformulate her role and her own motherhood, restructuring her care system to account for the real situation that is presented. Premature birth entails many difficulties for women, influencing stressful moments and triggering feelings of frustration, guilt, anxiety, sadness, and fear, among others. OBJECTIVE: Understand the difficulties, emotions, and feelings present during the birth and hospitalization of extreme preterm newborns and how motherhood could be built in this context. METHODS: Qualitative study, collecting narratives from women who shared their experiences on a specialized website on the internet. The analysis was carried out from the Content Analysis, using the attachment theory as the theoretical basis. RESULTS: The results point to a high expectation in relation to the birth of babies, as well as the frustration and anguish generated by the need for a sudden and literal separation. The moments were marked by an exhaustive routine and by the fear of the baby dying, in addition to the need to learn to recognize the subtle signs of the babies and build possible care modes. The narratives worked on were a way they found to report their stories and redefine what they had lived. CLOSING REMARKS: The importance of recognizing maternal experiences in this context is highlighted so that improvements in the reception provided and the construction of public policies are possible to be carried out.

OBJETIVO: Desde el parto prematuro, la maternidad es convocada prematuramente, ya que el período final del embarazo no se puede vivir y lo idealizado no se hace realidad. Por lo tanto, la madre necesita replantear su rol y maternidad, reestructurar su sistema de cuidado para dar cuenta de la situación real que se presenta. El parto prematuro conlleva muchas dificultades para la mujer, influyendo en momentos estresantes y desencadenando sentimientos de frustración, culpa, ansiedad, tristeza, miedo, entre otros. OBJETIVO: Comprender las dificultades, emociones y sentimientos presentes durante el parto y la hospitalización de recién nacidos prematuros extremos y cómo la(s) maternidad(es) podría(n) ser construida(s) en ese contexto. MÉTODO: Estudio cualitativo, con la recopilación de relatos de mujeres que compartieron sus experiencias en un sitio web especializado en internet. El análisis se realizó con base en el Análisis de Contenido, utilizando como base teórica la teoría del apego. RESULTADOS: Apuntaron a una alta expectativa en relación al nacimiento de bebés, así como a la frustración y angustia que genera la necesidad de una separación repentina y literal. Aún así, los momentos estuvieron marcados por una rutina exhaustiva y por el miedo a la muerte del bebé, además de la necesidad de aprender a reconocer los signos sutiles de los bebés y construir posibles modos de cuidado. Las narrativas trabajadas fueron/son una forma que apoyan para relatar sus historias y para resignificar la experiencia. CONSIDERACIONES FINALES: Se resalta la importancia de reconocer las experiencias maternas en este contexto, para que se puedan llevar a cabo mejoras en la atención brindada y la construcción de políticas públicas.

Estilos parentais e vinculação aos pares fazem a diferença nos motivos do consumo de álcool em jovens universitários? / ¿Los estilos parentales y el apego a los compañeros marcan la diferencia en los motivos de consumo de alcohol en jóvenes universitarios? / Do Parenting Styles and Peer Attachment Make a Difference in the Reasons for Alcohol Consumption in University Students?

A literatura suporta a importância da relação entre os jovens e as figuras parentais para um desenvolvimen-to adaptativo, nomeadamente capacidades pró-sociais e menor envolvimento em comportamentos de risco. A qualidade das relações com os pares pode também desempenhar um papel protetor no que respeita ao consumo de álcool. O objetivo deste estudo foca-se na análise do efeito dos estilos parentais e da vinculação aos pares nos motivos de consumo de álcool. Participaram 1.044 estudantes universitários de ambos os sexos com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 25 anos (m= 19.78; dp= 1.68). De forma a recolher os dados recorreu-se a um questionário sociodemográfico, ao Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire: Short Version (psdq), ao Inventory of Peer and Parental Attachment (ippa-peer), ao Drinking Motives Questionnaire ­ Revised (dmq-r) e ao Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (audit). Os resultados apontam para um efeito preditor positivo dos estilos parentais autoritários e permissivos e da alienação aos pares face aos motivos de consumo de álcool e um efeito preditor negativo do estilo parental democrático e de uma vinculação aos pares pautada por comunicação e confiança. As mulheres apresentam maior qualidade relacional com os pares comparativa-mente com os jovens do sexo masculino. Os rapazes apre-sentam uma maior diversidade de motivos de consumo de álcool. Os resultados são discutidos considerando a relevância dos estilos parentais e qualidade das relações com os pares no desenvolvimento pessoal e as motivações dos jovens adultos, em contexto universitário, para a assunção de comportamentos de risco.

La literatura apoya la importancia de la relación entre los jóvenes y las figuras parentales para un desarrollo adaptativo, es decir, habilidades prosociales y menor involucramiento en conductas de riesgo. La calidad de las relaciones con los compañeros también puede desempeñar un papel protector con respecto al consumo de alcohol. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el efecto de los estilos de crianza y el apego entre pares, sobre las razones para el consumo de alcohol. Participaron 1.044 estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 25 años (m= 19.78; ds= 1.68). Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico, el Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire: Short Version (psdq), el Inventory of Peer and Parental Attachment (ippa-peer), el Drinking Motives Questionnaire ­ Revised (dmq-r) y el Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (audit). Los resultados indican un efecto predictivo positivo de los estilos parentales autoritarios, permisivos y de alienación de los pares ante los motivos del consumo de alcohol, y un efecto predictivo negativo del estilo paren-tal democrático y de apego a los pares basado en la comunicación y la confianza. Las mujeres tienen más calidad relacional con sus compañeros que los hombres jóvenes. Los hombres tienen una mayor diversidad de motivos para el consumo de alcohol. Los resultados se discuten considerando la relevancia de los estilos de crianza y la calidad de las relaciones con los pares en el desarrollo personal, y las motivaciones de los jóvenes en un contexto universitario para asumir con-ductas de riesgo.

The importance of the relationship between young people and their parental figures for adaptative de-velopment has been supported by literature, namely prosocial capacities and less involvement in risk beha-viors. The quality of peer relationships may also play a protective role regarding alcohol consumption. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of parenting styles and peer attachment on the reasons for alcohol consumption. Participants were 1.044 university stu-dents of both sexes, between 18 and 25 years of age (m = 19.78; sd = 1.68). For data collection, a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire: Short Version (psdq), the Inventory of Peer and Parental Attachment (ippa-peer), the Drinking Motives Questionnaire ­ Revised (dmq-r), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (audit) were used. The results reveal a positive predictive effect of negative parenting styles (authoritarian and permissive) and alienation with peers on the reasons for alcohol consumption and a negative predictive impact on democratic parenting style and peer attachment ba-sed on communication and trust. Women have a better relational quality with their peers compared to males. Men have a greater diversity of reasons for consuming alcohol. Results are discussed considering the relevance of parenting styles, the quality of peer relationships in personal development, and the motivations of young adults, in a university context, for risk-taking behavior.

Studies conducted with children and adolescents suggest that long-term exposure to adverse events and the lack of emotional and psychosocial support can lead to complex traumatizing conditions (C_PSPT), providing difficulties that affect emotional regulation, cognition, interpersonal relationships and the constitution of identity. The aim of this essay is to reflect on about the cognitive, more specifically executive function abilities, emotional, and attachment dimensions in children, who have been exposed to the experience of violence.

Estudos realizados com crianças e adolescentes sugerem que a exposição prolongada a eventos adversos e à falta de apoio emocional e psicossocial podem levar a quadros traumatizantes complexos (TEPT_C), proporcionando dificuldades que afetam a regulação emocional, a cognição, as relações interpessoais e a constituição da identidade. O objetivo deste ensaio é refletir sobre as dimensões cognitivas, mais especificamente das funções executivas, os aspectos emocionais e de apego em crianças, que foram expostos à cenários e experiências de violência.

Which social, gestational and mental health aspects are associated to maternal-fetal attachment? / Quais aspectos sociais, gestacionais e de saúde mental materna estão associados ao apego materno-fetal?

Abstract Objectives: this study aimed to explore a set of factors associated with lower maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) in pregnant women. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study corresponding to the second wave of a cohort study with a population-based sample of pregnant women in the South of Brazil. The maternal-fetal attachment scale (MFAS) was used to measure MFA. Bivariate analysis was performed using the t-test and ANOVA. The variables that presented p<0.20 were taken for multivariate analysis, through linear regression, in order to control possible confounding factors. Results: a total of 840 pregnant women were included. Pregnant women who had lower MFA means were those who did not live with a partner (B=-3.8 [CI95%=-6.0; -1.7]), those between the first and second trimester of pregnancy (B=-4.3 [CI95%=-5.9; -2.6]), those who did not have support from their mother during pregnancy (B=-2.4 [CI95%=-4.6; -0.2]), and those with depressive symptoms (B=-4.9 [CI95%=-7.4; -2.5]). Conclusions: the results showed that a higher MFA it is associated with an adequate support network during pregnancy, better maternal mental health, and with an advanced pregnancy. Early evaluation of MFA and effort to promote an adequate prenatal bond, focusing on maternal psychological and emotional aspects are strongly suggested.

Resumo Objetivos: explorar um conjunto de fatores associados ao menor apego materno-fetal (AMF) em gestantes. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal, correspondente à segunda fase de um estudo de coorte com uma amostra de base populacional de gestantes no sul do Brasil. Foi utilizada a Escala de Apego Materno-Fetal (EAMF) para medir o AMF. A análise bivariada foi realizada através do teste t e ANOVA. As variáveis que apresentaram p<0,20 foram levadas para análise multivariada, por meio de regressão linear, a fim de controlar possíveis fatores de confusão. Resultados: foram incluídas 840 gestantes. As gestantes que apresentaram menores médias de AMF foram aquelas que não moravam com um companheiro (B=-3,8 [IC95%=-6,0; -1,7]), que estavam entre o primeiro e o segundo trimestre de gestação (B=-4,3 [IC95%=-5,9; -2,6]), que não tiveram o apoio da mãe durante a gestação (B=-2,4 [IC95%=-4,6; -0,2]) e que apresentaram sintomas depressivos (B=-4,9 [IC95%=-7,4; -2,5]). Conclusões: os resultados mostraram que um maior AMF está associado a presença de uma rede de apoio adequada na gravidez, melhor saúde mental materna e a uma gestação avançada. A avaliação precoce do AMF e a promoção de um vínculo pré-natal adequado, com foco nos aspectos psicológicos e emocionais maternos são fortemente sugeridos.
