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.

(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.

Mindfulness-based psychotherapy in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder: a meta-analytical Study
(Elsevier, 2022-07-12) Riquelme Marín, Antonio; Rosa Alcázar, Ana Isabel; Ortigosa Quiles, Juan Manuel; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
Background/Objective: Obsessive compulsive disorder is a disorder of special relevance in mental health, however, not all patients respond adequately to traditional intervention systems. The present work aims to study the usefulness of mindfulness-based interventions in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder. Method: An exhaustive search of the literature between 1996 and 2021 allowed us to locate 11 published articles. The effect size was the pretest-posttest standardized mean change calculated for obsession-compulsion, as well as depression symptoms and conscious coping. Results: he results showed mean effect sizes for mindfulness in the reduction of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (d + = 0.648) and, to a lesser extent, depression (d + = 0.417) and the improvement in Mindfull coping (d + = 0.509). There was no significant decrease in effect size when mindfulness was applied in patients with residual symptoms from previous treatments. Conclusions: These results are promising regarding the usefulness of the application of intervention programs based on mindfulness in people with obsessive compulsive disorder, both as an alternative option and as a complementary treatment to more traditional intervention formats.

Test anxiety is a problem that affects students in Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate. The objective of the present study was to adapt the “Test Anxiety Questionnaire for (CAEX)” to Spanish students in Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and Baccalaureate. A total of 1,181students (51.8% females, M= 14.7, SD= 1.8), from public High Schools in the Region of Murcia were evaluated. Three factors were identified: Physiological anxiety, Avoidance behavior and Cognitive response to exams, which explained 53% of the total variance. The level of internal consistency on the subscales and of the total was .90, .49 and .94, respectively. The Omega coefficient was .85 or higher on every subscale. Also, Test-retest reliability ranged from .52 to .87. Furthermore, the convergent and discriminant validity of the CAEX-A was adequate. The CAEX-A has appropriated psychometric properties and can be used for the psychological assessment of test anxiety in Spanish students from 12 to 18 years of age.

Introduction: Despite the importance of addressing different stages of cancer, there is a lack of data on how these stages relate to coping strategies. This study aims to analyze coping strategies among adolescents with cancer by comparing two distinct time points, the treatment phase and the post-treatment phase, with a particular focus on age and gender. Methodology: A total of 201 cancer patients aged 12 to 17 years from Alicante, Valencia, and Madrid participated in the study. They completed a Demographic and Clinical Data Form questionnaire capturing age, gender, and illness phase, along with the ACS to assess coping strategies. Results: During the treatment phase, strategies such as “worrying”, “stress reduction”, “ignoring the problem”, and “self-blame” were used more frequently than during the follow-up phase, revealing notable changes in emotional management between the two stages. Gender differences were observed in the first three strategies. Conclusions: The coping strategies of adolescents with cancer vary significantly between the treatment and follow-up phases, with greater use of certain strategies during treatment and a decline in their use post-treatment. These findings highlight the evolving emotional demands of each stage and emphasize the need for targeted interventions that address the specific coping needs unique to each phase. Such targeted interventions in clinical settings could support emotional management by adapting strategies to the distinct challenges faced by adolescents during treatment and post-treatment phases.

Self-Esteem and Coping Strategies in Adolescent Cancer Patients during the Period of Illness and Follow-Up
(MDPI, 2024-04-24) Sáez Rodríguez, Diego José; Ortigosa Quiles, Juan Manuel; Riquelme Marín, Antonio; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
The importance of self-esteem during the course of oncological illness has been welldocumented by some previous studies. However, data assessing its association with various coping strategies, especially considering the period of illness, are still scarce. The objective of this study is to analyze the differences in coping strategies among oncological adolescents, taking into account their self-esteem, illness period, age, and sex. A total of 201 oncological patients between the ages of 12 and 17 from three different Spanish cities were included in this study. All of them were asked to answer a tailored questionnaire, encompassing information about age, sex, and illness period. Additionally, the coping strategies were measured using the ACS scale, while self-esteem was evaluated using the SENA questionnaire. The results demonstrated that male adolescents and older individuals exhibited higher levels of self-esteem. The main coping strategies associated with higher self-esteem were “ignore the problem”, “focus on positive”, “physical recreation”, and “wishful thinking” both during the treatment and the follow-up phases. We conclude that higher self-esteem is associated with some of the coping strategies such as “focus on positive”, “ignore the problem”, and “wishful thinking”. Sociodemographic variables influence the relationship between self-esteem and coping strategies, but no differences were found regarding the period of illness.

Development and exploration of psychometric properties of the family adjustment questionnaire for admitting an older adult to a nursing home (CAFIAR)
(MDPI, 2020-10-19) Riquelme Marín, Antonio; Martín Carbonell, Marta; Ortigosa Quiles, Juan Manuel; Méndez Mateo, Inmaculada; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
Background: Admitting an older adult to a nursing home involves significant adjustment efforts by the family. Our goal was to prepare an assessment instrument for this, given that there was none to date. Method: Participants—134 relatives from di erent nursing homes in the region of Murcia. Instruments—structured interview for socio-demographic information, satisfaction with the nursing home, well-being and health self- ssessment, Radlo ’s Depression Questionnaire (CES-D), and the first version of CAFIAR. Results: A 15-item instrument with three factors was obtained: Factor 1 (Unease due to admitting an older adult to a nursing home), Factor 2 (Relief), and Factor 3 (Nostalgia and concern for the older adult), in addition to a general adjustment index, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.74. The general adjustment index and the subscales that demonstrate poor adjustment were significantly correlated with depression and a worse health self-assessment, while the Relief subscale, which indicates better adjustment, was significantly correlated with well-being and a positive health self-assessment. Conclusions: The family adjustment in admitting an older adult to a nursing home questionnaire (CAFIAR) has adequate psychometric properties to assess family adaptation in admitting an older adult to an institution.

Test anxiety in adolescent students: different responses according to the components of anxiety as a function of sociodemographic and academic variables
(Frontiers Media, 2020-12-15) Torrano Martínez, Rosa; Ortigosa Quiles, Juan Manuel; Riquelme Marín, Antonio; Méndez Carrilo, Francisco Javier; López Pina, José Antonio; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
Objective: Test anxiety (TA) is a construct that has scarcely been studied based on Lang’s three-dimensional model of anxiety. The objective of this article is to investigate the repercussion of sociodemographic and academic variables on different responses for each component of anxiety and for the type of test in adolescent students. Method: A total of 1181 students from 12 to 18 years old (M = 14.7 and SD = 1.8) participated, of whom 569 were boys (48.2%) and 612 girls (51.8%). A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Cuestionario de Ansiedad ante los examenes-Adaptado (CAEX-A) [Test Anxiety Questionnaire-Adapted] an adaptation for Spanish secondary school levels (ESO) and Bachillerato were administered. Results: Girls scored higher on the cognitive and physiological components of TA than boys, the intensity of the physiological response increasing with age. Bachillerato level students reported more physiological anxiety than those of ESO level. Students with better marks in the previous year presented more anxiety in the cognitive component, while those who obtained the lower mark presented higher anxiety values in the behavioral component. Participants reported that the types of tests that cause them more anxiety were oral tests in front of the class, oral presentation in front of a panel, and mathematics tests. Conclusion: Adolescents show a differential response of TA based on the physiological, cognitive and motor components, mediated by the variables of gender, age, grade, academic performance and type of exam. These results serve to design specific intervention programs to manage anxiety in situations of academic assessment.
