    Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de adolescentes españoles sobre la violencia de pareja
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2018) Pastor Bravo, María del Mar; Ballesteros Meseguer, Carmen; Seva Llor, Ana Myriam; Pina-Roche, Florentina
    Objetivo: Conocer las creencias, actitudes y prácticas de los adolescentes en sus relaciones de noviazgo y caracterizar el perfil de los adolescentes que reproducen y que son más susceptibles de sufrir violencia de género. Método: Diseño observacional, descriptivo, transversal y analítico a través de 3 cuestionarios a 131 hombres y 139 mujeres adolescentes de Educación Secundaria de la Región de Murcia (España). Resultados: Los adolescentes con padres de bajo nivel educativo y los hombres reconocen en menor medida las formas de violencia y justifican en mayor proporción los comportamientos violentos de control y poder sobre las mujeres. Tanto hombres como mujeres perpetúan la violencia, pero ellos ejercen más la violencia sexual mientras que ellas la verbal, que al mismo tiempo es más sufrida por las adolescentes. Conclusiones: Las adolescentes son más susceptibles de sufrir violencia verbal y violencia sexual por parte de sus parejas, conformando un grupo de riesgo de violencia de género sobre el que hay que implementar medidas de prevención, detección y protección. Es necesario sensibilizar y formar en igualdad de género, especialmente, a los adolescentes con padres de bajo nivel educativo y los de sexo masculino.

    Differential profile of PTSD in Spanish children 2 exposed to IPV and other types of maltreatment
    (MDPI, 2017) Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Sánchez Meca, Julio; López Soler, Concepción; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    This correlational cross-sectional study was designed to investigate whether the intimate partner violence (IPV) suffered by mothers (physical and psychological maltreatment), child eyewitness of psychological and physical maltreatment suffered by the mother, the neglect suffered by children, and the maltreatment (physical and psychological) directly suffered by children are statistically associated to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms exhibited by the child. In addition, the prevalence of child PTSD wasestimated, as well as the concordance between the PTSD symptoms assessed by the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for child PTSD. The sample consisted of 152 Spanish children aged 8 to 17 and their mothers, who were recruited from Centers of Specialized Assistance for Women Victims of IPV. PTSD prevalence was 20.4%. The results of a canonical correlation analysis showed that the two types of maltreatment with the largest contribution to the canonical variable were physical maltreatment directly suffered by the child, and child eyewitness of physical maltreatment suffered by the mother. The potential developmental pathway of PTSD when both children and mothers suffer severe maltreatment needs to be examined, and this will contribute to the choice of the most effective type of specialized intervention.

    Domestic Violence (DV) in the Netherlands and Spain. Characteristics of the perpetrators and measures implemented to combat DV a comparative study
    (Universidad de Murcia, ) Bocatius, Julia del Carmen; Rodríguez Ferrández, Samuel; Escuela Internacional de Doctorado
    Objetivos: Esta tesis destaca cómo de elevados son los costes de la violencia doméstica (VD) para las sociedades, no solo monetariamente, sino como representación de un problema global que afecta profundamente a las personas de ambos géneros, en forma física y psicológica en todas las categorías de edades, estado social, minorías étnicas y sexuales. La contribución de este estudio se centra en VD en dos países Europeos: los Países Bajos y España. Presenta datos sobre perpetradores de violencia, masculinos y femeninos y sus características. Hace también una comparación sobre las medidas aplicadas en estos dos países para resolver los problemas surgidos por VD. Esquema: Los datos fueron obtenidos de los buscadores académicos más relevantes y otras fuentes de informaciones científicas. Los datos de los Países Bajos fueron extraídos de las Cortes de Justicia (periodos 2015-2018), filtrando los casos mas severos de VD que fueron tratados en las Fiscalías de los Tribunales Penales Holandeses, llegando a una muestra de 253 incidentes graves, de los cuales diecinueve eran mujeres. La tesis presenta casos reales anonimizados de hombres y mujeres perpetradores de los Países Bajos, sus psicopatologías y características. Los datos de España fueron obtenidos del INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística), Ministerio de Igualdad y literatura científica. Conclusiones: Los resultados están en línea con la perspectiva asimétrica de VD: el número de mujeres víctimas es significantemente mayor que la victimización de los hombres en ambos países. Consecuencias Prácticas: Esta tesis puede ser útil para las autoridades legislativas, porque presenta diversos aspectos de la problemática de VD y hace recomendaciones para prevenir este problema tan persistente.

    Perception of sex in the attitude-behavior relationship in school violence. A qualitative study
    (Elsevier, 2022-06-03) Pina, David; Marín Talón, María Catalina; Pagán Escribano, María; Cormos, Lucía Simina; Ruiz Hernández, José Antonio; Godoy Fernández, Carmen; Psiquiatría y Psicología Social
    School violence is currently a focus of social alarm that generates special interest in research, given its significant impact on the personal, social, school and family environments of children and adolescents. With regard to the prevention and intervention of this social phenomenon, the study of attitudes associated with violent behavior in the school context has been described as an important variable. This study aims to explore attitudes towards school violence, associated behaviors and the influence that the perceived sex could have on this relationship. The sample studied consists of 96 participants from Spanish Elementary Education and Compulsory Secondary Education schools. Through focus groups and thematic analysis of the data, a qualitative study of attitudes associated with violent behavior due to sex is carried out. Seven groups of attitudes were identified: a) associated with gender stereotypes; b) towards Intimate partner violence; c) as a form of attraction; d) as a way to socialize; e) as a way to increase self-esteem; f) as a form of fun, and g) when it is perceived as legitimate. These results could serve as a basis for the creation of evaluation instruments, as well as for the design of prevention and psychological intervention plans based on attitude modification.

    Propiedades psicométricas de la escala de tácticas de conflictos modificada. Aplicación en el contexto de los adolescentes ecuatorianos
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2022) Francisco Pérez, Judith Inmaculada; Morejón Terán, Yadira Alejandra; Pastor Bravo, María del Mar
    El estudio de la violencia en el noviazgo adolescente tiene relevancia para la Salud Pública, dado su carácter predictivo y el impacto social de esta variable en la convivencia de la población adulta. Las escalas de valoración de violencia en el noviazgo requieren ser validadas para asegurar la fiabilidad y la certeza de sus resultados. Objetivo: Analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala de tácticas de conflicto modificada M-CTS en el contexto de la violencia en el noviazgo de adolescentes ecuatorianos. Materiales y métodos: Se trata de un estudio de validación mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio y análisis de variables lingüísticas y culturales, con muestreo al probabilístico (n=1249) con edades comprendidas entre 13 y 19 años, que cumplieron los requisitos de tener o haber tenido una relación de noviazgo. Resultados: Fueron modificadas culturalmente 6 preguntas y fue verificada la estructura de 4 factores del cuestionario (argumentación, violencia psicológica, física leve y física severa). Se encontró una baja fiabilidad para el ítem argumentación perpetrador (0,26) y victimización (0,26) y buena fiabilidad para violencia física grave para los dos perfiles (0,80 y 0,76). Conclusiones principales: La adaptación cultural del M-CTS ofreció una validez adecuada para los diferentes tipos de violencia en población adolescente ecuatoriana permitiendo comparar las prevalencias encontradas con otros países que usaron este instrumento basado en las mismas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas.

    Sexual function and intimate partner violence in middle- aged women: a community-based, dual-focus study in Spain
    (The Menopause Society, 2016-10-16) María M. Martínez- Madrid; González Cuello, Ana María; Arnau Sánchez, José; María M. Martínez Madrid; Enfermería; Ana González - Cuello; José Arnau-Sánchez; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Enfermería
    Objective: To evaluate the association between sexual function and intimate partner violence (IPV) among sexually active, middle-aged women in Spain, examining each outcome in separate cross-sectional models. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 451 women (40- 64 y) randomly recruited from primary care settings in southeastern Spain. Participants completed the 6-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-6), the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST), and a general sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire. Factors associated with low sexual function and a positive IPV screen were analyzed using generalized linear models of the Poisson family to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR). Results: The mean age of participants was 50.09 ± 7.05 years. The prevalence of low sexual function (FSFI-6 score ≤ 19) was 33.7%, and the prevalence of a positive IPV screen (WAST score ≥ 14) was 16.6%. Low sexual function was higher among women with a positive IPV screen compared with those without (77.3% vs. 25.0%, P < 0.001). In the multivariate model, a positive IPV screen was related to a higher prevalence of low sexual function (aPR: 2.57; 95% CI: 2.04-3.25). Conversely, low sexual function was linked to a positive IPV screen (aPR: 4.67; 95% CI: 2.78-7.85). Spanish Roma ethnicity was also associated with IPV (aPR: 3.51; 95% CI: 2.14-5.74). Conclusions: Low sexual function and a positive IPV screen were statistically associated in this community-based sample of middle-aged women. A higher prevalence of IPV was observed among certain ethnic minorities. These associations persisted after adjustment for sociodemographic and clinical factors.

    The association between maternal exposure to intimate partner violence and emotional and behavioral problems in Spanish children and adolescents
    (Springer, 2016-09-15) López Soler, Concepción; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Sánchez Meca, Julio; Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    This correlational cross-sectional study was designed to investigate whether the intimate partner violence (IPV) suffered by mothers (physical and psychological maltreatment), the neglect suffered by children, and the maltreatment (physical and psychological) directly suffered by children are statistically associated with an increase in the probability of the child’s suffering psychopathological problems. The sample consisted of 189 Spanish children aged 6 to 17 and their mothers, recruited from Centers of Specialized Assistance for Women Victims of IPV. The results of a canonical correlation analysis showed that the most significant problems suffered by the children were both externalizing and internalizing ones. In girls, the maltreatment suffered by their mothers was directly related to a larger frequency of somatic complaints than in boys. In addition, physical maltreatment to the mother and emotional maltreatment suffered by the child exhibited a statistically significant relationship with aggressive behaviour, thought problems, rule-breaking behaviour, attention problems, and withdrawn-depressed.
