Menopause is associated with a considerable variety of physical, psychological and social symptoms that can be treated using cognitive-behavioral techniques. In the present study, 21 women took part in an eight-week group intervention consisting of weekly two-hour sessions to address their slight symptoms related to the climacteric stage of life. The intervention included: psycho education on menopause, relaxation techniques, nutrition and fitness exercises, Kegel exercises, and problem-solving techniques. A control group was included that did not receive treatment and consisted of 28 women. The results revealed a significant reduction in most symptoms (including depression and anxiety) after intervention as compared to the baseline period. No changes appeared in the control group. The relevance of this work lies in the potential element of prevention this therapeutic package could offer to relieve various symptoms, slight and incipient, during the perimenopausal stage.
Este estudio explora el estado psíquico de profesores de tercer ciclo de primaria de varios centros públicos y concertados de la Comunidad de Madrid. Se evaluó la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva y el síndrome de Burnout mediante la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión en Hospital (HADS) y el Cuestionario de Burnout del Profesorado (CBP-R). Los resultados indicaron que, aunque los docentes de colegios concertados puntúan más alto en sintomatología ansiosa, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas, los profesores de colegios públicos presentan mayor Burnout, de modo estadísticamente significativo, en las escalas de cuestiones organizacionales, supervisión y reconocimiento.
web sites of the Spanish universities for students with these two disabilities. The work follows a descriptive design based on two elements of analysis. On the one hand, the review of studies of accessibility and functional diversity; and on the other hand, the analysis of web accessibility of the web sites of the 78 Spanish universities. It is concluded that there are difficulties of web accessibility and navigation in the virtual environments of the Spanish universities, a situation that, therefore, leads to limitations in the learning from the collective of students with disabilities.
