Abstract: Institutionalization to a nursing home can be one of the most significant and traumatic events in a senior’s life, and for their family. For this reason, it is especially important to have validated instruments that evaluate the family member’s adaptation to admitting the senior to a nursing home. The study included 139 family members recruited equally in two types of institutions (lowincome nursing home (LINH) vs. high-income nursing home (HINH)). A sociodemographic questionnaire with questions to study antecedents and conditions for care and the Questionnaire for Admitting an Older Adult to a Nursing Home (CAFIAR-15) were used. Examining the communalities indicated that four of the five items in factor 3 presented communalities lower than 0.30 and differences in the factorial structure of the CAFIAR-15 were found. There were differences in the antecedents and conditions for care between the relatives of the older adults at LINH and HINH. Cultural differences and differences between LINH and HINH may be the basis for flaws in the conceptual validity of the CAFIAR-15 in the Colombian sample.

Family care prior to the admission of the elderly in a nursing home and continuity in family care: a comparative study of Colombia and Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-06-07) Riquelme Marín, Antonio; Martín-Carbonell, Martha; Ortigosa Quiles, Juan Manuel; Fernández-Daza, Marta; Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
This study examined the background before admission to a nursing home and the conditions for the continuity of care, of the relatives of older adults of Colombia and Spain. The study sample comprised 546 participants: 278 and 268 from Colombia and Spain, respectively. Structured interviews were conducted with the older adults’ relatives. Sociodemographic similarities predominated, although in the Colombian sample there were significantly more unrelated people. Similarities in previous and current care conditions also predominated too. Cluster 1 included all the cases of Colombian low-resource nursing homes, and Cluster 2 included all the relatives of Colombian highresource nursing homes and all the Spanish centers. The type of nursing home was the variable more important to identify the abovementioned clusters. Conclusions: Family members from Colombia and Spain continue to care for the elderly admitted to geriatric homes. The type of geriatric center is what establishes the differences in the users.

(Editum, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025-05-01) López-Durán, Alicia; Martínez Ramón, Juan Pedro; Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Ruiz Esteban, Cecilia; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Educación
Los avances de los últimos años han llevado al desarrollo de robots sociales asistenciales y entornos inteligentes en viviendas asistidas centrados en la prevención y promoción de la salud de las personas mayo-res, aunque es necesario explorar su evidencia. Por ello, proponemos una revisión sistemática -método PRISMA-, examinando 802 estudios realiza-dos desde enero de 2019 a septiembre de 2024 con el objetivo de analizar la eficacia en distintas variables psicológicas en personas mayores, con o sin diagnóstico de trastorno mental, que residan en una vivienda independiente o residencia comunitaria, tanto solas como acompañadas, de la interven-ción con robots sociales asistenciales y entornos de asistencia para la vida diaria. Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 12 estudios. El uso de los dispositivos tecnológicos se contextualizó en dife-rentes ámbitos de intervención (social, promoción de la autonomía, hábitos saludables, emocional, tratamiento médico-psicológico o seguimiento del estado de salud, adherencia a la medicación y área cognitiva). Se encontró una reducción de los síntomas depresivos y ansiosos, así como una mejora en la calidad de vida, área social, adherencia al tratamiento, sueño y autonomía. La mayoría de investigaciones eran europeas y estadounidenses consistentes en estudios experimentales y cuasiexperimentales. El uso de robots de sociales asistenciales y entornos inteligentes son herramientas prometedoras para promover el bienestar psicológico y la calidad de vida de las personas mayores, aunque la evidencia hallada es limitada y variada.

(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-15) Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Jorquera Hernández, Ana Belén; Ruiz Esteban, Cecilia; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Ruiz Esteban, Cecilia; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Educación
Technology is being used by individuals of all ages; young children show a high tendency of problematic use of devices such as smartphones. This study aimed to identify different profiles that vary in conflicts related to problematic mobile phone use and maladaptive communication and emotional patterns. Therefore, we examined whether there are significant differences in bullying and cyberbullying among teenagers who have a problem utilizing mobile phones. The study participants were 810 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (M = 13.99, SD = 1.32), with 52.2% being girls. Questionnaires on school violence and experiences related to mobile phones were administered. The latent profile analysis identified three different types of problematic mobile phone use: (a) low levels of conflict was associated with mobile phone abuse and low levels of communication and emotional use; (b) moderate levels of conflict was associated with mobile phone abuse and moderate levels of communication and emotional use; and (c) high levels of conflict was associated with mobile phone abuse and high levels of communication and emotional use. The study results highlight significant differences in the manifestations of school violence between the profiles. Finally, this study’s findings form the basis for the development of education programs to prevent mobile phone abuse and school violence and therefore academic adjustment.

La obra Escenarios futuros para la inclusión: Fundamentos Teóricos surge como una compilación de textos académicos que trasciende la mera función de un conjunto de ensayos; representa un acto pedagógico en favor de la inclusión. Las páginas que componen esta obra, es el resultado del diálogo y del intercambio de experiencias en el Congreso Internacional en Educación Inclusiva y reflejan una perspectiva amplia para comprender y desmantelar las Barreras para el Aprendizaje y la Participación (BAP). A medida que los lectores naveguen a través de los capítulos, se encontrarán con una importante variedad de voces que abordan la discapacidad y la inclusión desde los puntos de vista del espacio áulico, la administración educativa, las políticas públicas y los contextos familiares, sirviendo como un recordatorio de que la educación inclusiva no es algo estático, sino un constante movimiento. La estructura de este trabajo se delinea en cinco bloques temáticos, mismos que proporcionan una perspectiva holística sobre las complejidades inherentes a la educación.

Perfectionism classes and aggression in adolescents
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-01) Ruiz Esteban, Cecilia; Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Fernández-Sogorb, Aitana; Álvarez Teruel, José Daniel; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Educación
Some of the components of perfectionism produce a variety of problems, such as interpersonal hypersensitivity and hostility, that may be associated with aggression behavior during adolescence. This study aims to identify classes of adolescents depending on their levels of Perfectionistic Strivings (PS) and Perfectionistic Concerns (PC) as well as to examine whether there are significant differences in the manifestations of the four components of aggression behavior (i.e., anger, hostility, physical aggression, and verbal aggression) between them. A total of 1,074 high school students from various educational centers participated in this study (M = 14.78, SD = 1.84). The Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale and the Aggression Questionnaire short form were used. The Latent Class Analysis identified three classes of adolescent perfectionism: (a) Non-Perfectionists (low PS and PC), (b) Maladaptive Perfectionists (high PS and PC), and (c) Adaptive Perfectionists (moderate PS and PC). Results revealed significant differences between classes regarding the different manifestations of aggression. Maladaptive Perfectionists and Adaptive Perfectionists reported, respectively, the highest and lowest levels of aggression behavior. This study assists in educational programs to prevent conflicts related to school violence through emotional adjustment.

Bullying, pertenencia a bandas y consumo de drogas en adolescentes
(Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, 2024-02-08) Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Ruiz Esteban, Cecilia; López García, Juan José; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Educación
Las relaciones entre el grupo de iguales suponen un potente pronosticador de la implicación del adolescente en el consumo de drogas y las conductas antisociales. El estudio tiene el objetivo de analizar el consumo de drogas en función de que el adolescente pertenezca o no a una banda violenta o no violenta y los roles de bullying. Los participantes fueron 1.264 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. La pertenencia a bandas con carácter violento se asociaba a consumos de drogas significativamente superiores frente a los que no estaban vinculados a bandas, así como con los adolescentes de bandas no violentas. Los agresores de acoso escolar pertenecían a una pandilla. Es fundamental hacer hincapié en la prevención del consumo de drogas y otras conductas de riesgo.

At the university stage, students must face new challenges and achieve necessary academic goals, with intrinsic motivation and the effective use of learning strategies playing a relevant role in not procrastinating. The objective of the study was to investigate the profiles of university students according to their levels of intrinsic motivation. It also sought to examine whether students with different intrinsic motivation profiles differ significantly in motivational learning strategies. The study participants were 719 university students in Spain (M = 21.31; SD = 4.43), being 64.8% women. The Educational Motivation Scale and the Questionnaire of Learning Strategies in University Students were used. During the completion of the instruments, anonymity and confidentiality of the data were ensured. Informed consent was requested from the participants, who participated voluntarily, without receiving any reward and were able to unsubscribe at any time. This was a cross-sectional study that used convenience sampling. The latent profile analysis was carried out. The results revelated that different intrinsic motivation profiles have been found among university students. Likewise, it was found that the different profiles differ significantly in motivational learning strategies. It was shown that those students with high values of intrinsic motivation are characterized by using motivational learning strategies to a high degree compared to students with low or intermediate values. The findings of the study can help personalize educational programs by providing prevention and intervention methods regarding inappropriate patterns in the use of students’ learning strategies as well as self-regulation in the learning process to ensure academic success.
