Ítem Adaptation and Psychometric Properties in Spanish of the Herth Hope Index in People Who have Attempted Suicide(SPRINGER, 2021-03-01) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Camacho Conde, José AntonioSuicide is a major global public health problem. The most predictive behavior of completed suicide is prior suicide attempt. However, studies focused on risk factors have to date proved unsuccessful in reducing death by suicide rates. To adapt a hope assessment tool to a Spanish clinical population having carried out a suicide attempt, to evaluate whether hope modulates the resilience level following discharge from the emergency department. The sample comprised 682 people (62.4% female) aged between 18 and 77 years (M = 39; SD = 19.1) with previous suicide attempts who were administered the Herth Hope Index, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the 14-item Resilience Scale. The HHI in Spanish (IEH) showed a high internal consistency (α = .97), a two-dimensional structure that explains 73% of the variance with high goodness-of-fit indices (GFI = .91; CFI = .89; RMSEA = .08), and divergent validity of -.77 with hopelessness. Significant hope-related differences by resilience level were also observed. Hope modulates resilience to suicide attempts and a new scale adapted to the Spanish clinical population is offered. This short tool is easy to use in emergency department settings and predicts the level of potential vulnerability to more serious future repeated attempts.Ítem Adaptation of the Suicide Attempt Resilience Scale (SRSA-18, Spanish version) for adolescents(Cambridge University Press, 2022) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sarhani-Robles, Aziz; Sarhani-Robles, MariamÍtem Co-operative learning, psychometric adaptation, and invariability of the academic satisfaction scale in Spanish university students(Frontiers, 2022) Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Gavin-Chocano, Óscar; González-Luque, Antonio; Camacho-Conde, José AntonioÍtem Do psychological strengths protect college students confined by COVID-19 to emotional distress? The role of gender(Elsevier, 2021-03-10) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Valencia-Naranjo, NievesThe COVID-19 pandemic represents a stressful situation for the university population due to the important changes in the development of their studies and in their living conditions. However, the impact of factors related to the family unit (living with COVID-19 positive patients and living with Essential Services Workers-ESW) and other protective psychosocial factors that could produce resilient or psychopathological results (anxiety and depression) in this population has not been sufficiently assessed, differentiating them by gender. The results obtained show that both variables related to the family unit and psychosocial protective variables explain 28.6% of the variance in general distress in the total sample (R2 = 0.286; F(3,250) =34,717; p < .001). However, models of regression of distress and anxiety levels differ between men and women, but not in terms of mood alteration. Women facing circumstances reminiscent of mandatory pandemic containment have moderately higher levels of resilience than men (tCDRISC(125) = 2.218; p < .05; tGSE(125) = 2.415; p < .05; tCDRISC(125) = 0.146; p = .884; tGSE(125) = 0.315; p = .756). The results are discussed from the perspective of gender differences, taking into account the contribution of sociodemographic factors that increase remembrance of the stressor/trauma and the coping styles of the participants.Ítem La evaluación del potencial de aprendizaje, estrategias para la intervención en atención temprana.(2024-06-27) Barba-Colmenero, Francisca; Valencia, Nieves; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Universidad de Jaén. Departamento de Psicología.La evaluación psicológica infantil es crucial en educación, investigación y práctica clínica para detectar problemas tempranos. Las pruebas de evaluación dinámica (ED) representan una innovación frente a las estáticas, fundamentadas en teorías como la Modificabilidad Cognitiva Estructural de Feuerstein y la Zona de Desarrollo Próximo de Vygotsky. La ED sigue un formato pretest-entrenamiento-postest, mejorando la adaptabilidad y completitud de la evaluación. Esta tesis busca demostrar la utilidad de la evaluación del potencial de aprendizaje en niños y niñas, incluidos aquellos con dificultades como el Síndrome de Down. Tres estudios muestran su eficacia en diversas poblaciones, evidenciando mejoras significativas en el potencial de aprendizaje y funciones cognitivas. Estos resultados respaldan la efectividad de la ED en la evaluación infantil, fomentando el desarrollo y aprendizaje desde una edad temprana. Child psychological assessment is crucial in education, research and clinical practice to detect early problems. Dynamic Evaluation (DE) tests represent an innovation over static tests, based on theories such as Feuerstein's Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. The DE follows a pretest-training-posttest format, improving the adaptability and completeness of the assessment. This thesis seeks to demonstrate the utility of the assessment of learning potential in children, including those with difficulties such as Down Syndrome. Three studies show its efficacy in diverse populations, evidencing significant improvements in learning potential and cognitive functions. These results support the effectiveness of DE in child assessment, promoting development and learning from an early age.Ítem Experiences and Challenges of Health Professionals in Implementing Family-Centred Planning(MDPI, 2024) Cuenca-Sánchez, Lorena; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María AuxiliadoraÍtem Experiences and coping strategies of parents with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in early care with emphasis on social skills and family cultural values: A qualitative study(Elsevier, 2025-03-26) Galán-Vera, Ingrid; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sarhani, Aziz; Valencia, NievesParents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience a grieving process upon receiving the diagnosis. In Spain, early care centers focus on providing care to this population. However, little is known about parents’ experiences during this process, the daily challenges they face due to their children’s social skills deficits, and how their context and values influence this process. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of parents of children diagnosed with ASD in early care services, focusing on their children’s social skills and the family’s cultural values. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 17 parents and a qualitative thematic analysis was made based on the principles of Gadamer’s hermeneutic phenomenology. Three main themes could be identified: the emotional process of the parents upon receiving the diagnosis, the unanticipated obstacles and coping strategies they use, and the role of cultural family values that maintain the family dynamics. Part of the findings emphasize the need for greater parental mental health care, the social difficulties faced by both parents and their children, and the importance of support networks and parental values in raising their children.Ítem Experiences and needs of unaccompanied irregular migrant minors who arrive in Spain on small boats: A qualitative study(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2025-01-03) Berthe-Kone, Ousmane; Granero, José; Fernández-Sola, Cayetano; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Jiménez-Lasserrotte, María MarThe European Union receives thousands of unaccompanied irregular migrant minors every year, but little is known about their life experiences during the migration process. The aim of this study is to describe their experiences as minors when they arrived in Spain in small boats, which will help to understand their psychosocial and health needs. A descriptive qualitative study was undertaken. In-depth interviews were conducted with 18 unaccompanied irregular migrants (15 men and 3 women) from different African countries with a mean age of 20.05 years (SD = 2.77). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Three main themes emerged such as (1) unaccompanied irregular migrant minors: risking it all for a better life; (2) redefining your identity as a means of adaptation and (3) obtaining legal status to avoid deportation. Unaccompanied migrant minors risk their lives on the migration journey, but do not always find better conditions in the destination country. The unaccompanied irregular migrant minors are forced to rebuild their lives at a high cost; they experience rejection from the host society and their culture of origin, which has a negative impact on their physical and psychological health over time.Ítem Exploring resilience and well-being of family caregivers of people with dementia exposed to mandatory social isolation by COVID-19(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021-09-14) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sarhani-Robles, Mariam; Sarhani-Robles, AzizBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the resilience of health care systems worldwide. In this regard, one group of people whose physical and mental health has been affected has been family caregivers of people with dementia. Objective: This study aims to identify the variables that predict a high degree of well-being in family caregivers of people with dementia during this period of mandatory lockdown. Methods: A total of 310 respondents participated in an online survey (266 women and 44 men) from various regions in Spain, aged between 20 and 73 years old (M = 46.45; SD = 15.97), and all were family members. Results: The results showed that there were notable differences in all the protective variables, together with a significant strong positive relationship between well-being and resilience (r = 0.92; p < 0.01) and with coping strategies (r = 0.85; p < 0.01), and there were also some significant negative relationships between well-being and difficulties in emotional regulation (ρ = -.78; p < 0.01). The most predictive variables of a higher level of well-being included the type of dementia (β = 1.19; CI (95%) = 1.01-1.29; p< 0.01), living in a large house (β = 0.97; CI (95%) =. 23-0.98; p < 0.01), social support as a coping strategy (β = 1.27; CI (95%) = 1.21-1.29; p < 0.01) and mainly resilience (β = 1.34; CI (95%) = 1.30-1.37; p < 0.01). Discussion: We discuss the importance of promoting higher levels of resilience through the development of protective psychosocial variables in caregivers of people with dementia exposed to situations of mandatory social isolation as a modulator of the psychosocial well-being of these family caregivers.Ítem Gender Implications of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale in the Spanish Population: A Validation Study(EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHING FOUNDATION-AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOC (APA), 2021-06-28) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Lara Cabrera, Mariela; Valencia-Naranjo, NievesObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) for the general Spanish population. Method: A cross-sectional investigation was carried out in several stages. Participants (N = 699) between the ages of 18 and 73 (M = 27.79; SD = 12.68) completed both the FCV-19S and the Hospital, Anxiety, and Depression Scale (HADS). We performed descriptive, exploratory factorial (n = 349), confirmatory (n = 350), and scale reliability analyses. Results: The results confirmed the factor structure of the original scale as well as the scale's goodness-of-fit indices and good internal consistency (α = .91, ω = .98). The correlations between the Spanish FCV-19S and the HADS support the scale's validity, especially for the subdimension of anxiety. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the FCV-19S appears to be a valid measure for the assessment of fear in an adult population. The present study moves research forward by providing a confirmatory analysis of the gender variable's influence on the factor analysis. The FCV-19S-Spanish provides a valid brief measure to evaluate fear of being infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The results also revealed that fear was higher among women than among men, which is important as it suggests that more attention needs to be paid to assessing and treating women's fear. Assessing and treating fear represents an important step for the prevention of future mental health problems.Ítem On the role of non-linguistic rhythm skills in the early stages of formal learning to read(Elsevier, 2024) Valencia-Naranjo, Nieves; Calet, Nuria; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Gutiérrez-Palma, NicolásÍtem Predictors of resilience in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal study comparing the first and second waves(BMC, 2023) Mendoza-Bernal, Irhomis; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sarhani-Robles, Aziz; Sarhani-Robles, MariamÍtem Preliminary study on emotional competence in adults with down syndrome(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-11) Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Valencia Naranjo, Nieves; Delgado Rodriguez, RafaelThe social functioning of adults with Down Syndrome (DS) specially influences their quality of life. Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a key role in social outcomes because it is defined as a variety of social and emotional skills that enable people to be more effective in their personal and social lives. Thus, validated EI tests for use among adults with DS must be reliable. This study aimed to evaluate psychometric properties of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) in adults with DS. A two-stage cross-sectional inves- tigation was conducted. First, a pilot study (n = 10) was performed to test internal consistency and item analysis of the subscales; second, exploratory (n = 90) and confirmatory (n = 96) factor analyses were carried out. The 5-factor structure of the EQ-i:YV was confirmed: general mood, stress management, adaptability, interpersonal and intrapersonal. The internal consistency (alpha and split halves) of all five dimensions and the total calculated score of the EQ-i:YV yielded high values. This new version of the EQ-i:YV represents a valid and reliable tool to assess EI in Spanish adults with DS.Ítem Protective and Risk Factors for Suicidal Behaviour in Self-Declared LGBTIQ+ Adolescents(MDPI, 2024) Sánchez-Teruel, David; López-Torrecillas, Francisca; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Valencia-Naranjo, NievesÍtem Psychometric Properties and Gender Invariance of the Positive Mental Health Scale in Spanish Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic(Wiley, 2025-04-05) Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Boufellous, Selma; Lendínez-Rodríguez, CristinaAim: Positive mental health (PMH) can be considered a key aspect of mental health in the face of potentially stressful healthcare situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Positive Mental Health Scale (PMS) in Spanish nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, gender invariance analysis and convergent and divergent analyses were performed, and reliability indices were calculated. Methods: A total of 661 nurses (425 women and 236 men) participated in the study. They completed various questionnaires during August–October 2021. Results: Factor analysis demonstrated a unidimensional structure with very good indices of model fit, high positive convergent validity, especially with social support, self-efficacy and resilience to suicide attempts, and high divergent validity with anxiety and, to a lesser extent, with depression. There was also strong invariance between genders and high reliability indices. In conclusion, the data show that the PMS has adequate validity and reliability in nurses. Furthermore, this study allows us to confirm gender invariance, which has not been examined in other studies. The data show that PMS is a suitable measure for assessing the mental health of healthcare professionals exposed to high-stress situations.Ítem Psychometric Properties of the Positive Mental Health Scale in a Spanish Population(SAGE, 2023) Boufellous, Selma; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Lorabi, Souhib; Mendoza-Bernal, IrhomisÍtem Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Family Centred Practice Scale for use with families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(Elsevier, 2021) Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sánchez-Teruel, DavidBackground: The Family-Centered Practices Scale assesses the degree to which staff in Early Childhood Intervention and Development Centers use this approach. However, there is no adaptation of this scale to families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in early intervention in Spain. Objectives: To validate and analyze the psychometric properties of the Family-Centered Practices scale in Spanish parents with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Methods: Descriptive analyses, exploratory factor analysis (n(1) = 211), confirmatory factor analysis (n(2) = 236), and scale reliability analyses were performed. In addition, the invariance of the scale by parents' age and gender was assessed, and a longitudinal analysis of the scores was performed. Results: A scale with a two-factor structure was obtained, similar to the original version, where the goodness-of-fit indices were excellent (RMSEA [95%CI] = 02[0.01; 0.03]; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.98; RMR = 0.02; GFI = 0.96). However, the measure was not invariant in gender, with differences between fathers and mothers. Additionally, the internal consistency of the full scale (alpha = 0.94, omega = 0.90) and of the two dimensions showed high values in this sample and comparing the means between the two measurement time points showed no differences, the test was powerful had a large effect size. Discussion: The psychometric properties of this scale are adequate, which makes it faster to apply and gives it better clinical applicability. Conclusions: This version of scale in Spanish is a valid, reliable tool for evaluating family-centered practices in families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.Ítem Resilience Assessment Scale for the Prediction of Suicide Reattempt in Clinical Population(Frontiers in Psychology, 2021-05-13) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Muela Martínez, José Antonio; García León, AnaThe objective of this work was to construct and validate an instrument for assessing resilience to suicide attempts in a Spanish clinical population that has made a previous attempt, and to verify its efficacy for predicting future suicide reattempts at 6 months. For the construction of a Scale of Resilience to Suicide Attempts (SRSA) the theoreticalrational strategy was used. The constructed SRSA-18 consisted of 18 items and 3 subdimensions (internal and external protection and emotional stability), had high internal consistency (a D 0.88; & D 0.89) and a high positive correlation with the Suicide Resilience Inventory-25, SRI-25 (r D 0.91; p < 0.01), and to a lesser extent with general resilience scales such as the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, CD-RISC (r D 0.79; p < 0.01) and the Resilience Scale of 14 items, RS-14 (r D 0.76; p < 0.01). Additionally, a specific SRSA-18 score predicted future suicide reattempts 6 months after the first attempt. This new scale (SRSA-18) assesses in a brief and rapid way, through protective factors rather than risk factors, the level of resilience to the suicide attempt in specific clinical subpopulations in hospital emergency services, being able to prevent suicide reattempts with higher lethality.Ítem Self-infl icted injuries in adolescents and young adults: A longitudinal approach(COLEGIO OFICIAL DE PSICOLOGOS DE ASTURIAS, 2020-08-13) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Camacho Conde, José AntonioBackground: Suicide has become a major global public health problem in some clinical subpopulations. Adolescents and young adults with selfinfl icted injuries or non-suicidal self-harm appear to have been understudied. The aim of this study is to assess which socio-demographic and prior comorbid psychopathology condition variables in adolescents and young adults with self-infl icted lesions are likely to be more predictive of future self-injury after 12 months. Method: The eligible participants were 176 people (99 women and 77 men) aged 15-25 (mean = 20.3; SD = 4.56) who were subsequently divided into two groups (those who had been admitted again for self-infl icted injuries or non-suicidal self-harm (104; 59.1%), and those who had not (72; 40.9%) during the following 12 months. Results: The results obtained offer (i) a specifi c socio-demographic profi le in which women (OR [CI95%] = 6.22[6.03-7.11]) aged 21-22 (OR [CI95%] = 4.71[4.29- 5.73]) who are students (OR [CI95%] = 2.99 [1.58-6.01]) are likely to infl ict a new self-injury on themselves after 12 months, and (ii) a clear clinical profi le where several affl ictions are predictors of a new self-injury after 12 months. Conclusions: We discuss the urgent need to develop specifi c health protocols and improve public health alert measures for certain subpopulations.Ítem The relationship between learning potential in preschool children and their cognitive abilities(Colegio oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2024) Barba-Colmenero, Francisca; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Valencia, Nieves[ES] La mejora de las capacidades cognitivas es relevante a la hora de diseñar planes de tratamiento. En este estudio se ha examinado el rendimiento en tareas cognitivas de niños preescolares con síndrome de Down en comparación con niños con discapacidad intelectual inespecífica (por ejemplo, el razonamiento no verbal y la memoria a corto plazo), así como en la mejora de las funciones cognitivas mediante una metodología de potencial de aprendizaje o evaluación dinámica. Los dos grupos con discapacidad intelectual mostraron un rendimiento similar en las tareas de memoria a corto plazo, verbales y en categorización, registrándose diferencias en las tareas visuales de memoria a corto plazo. Su rendimiento fue inferior al de los niños de desarrollo típico comparable en edad cronológica. El rendimiento cognoscitivo de los grupos mejoró considerablemente de la situación pretest a la de postest, con ganancias particularmente significativas en el grupo inespecífico. Se analizan los factores que pueden afectar potencialmente al rendimiento de los niños antes y durante la evaluación del potencial de aprendizaje. [EN] Enhancing cognitive abilities is relevant when devising treatment plans. This study examined the performance of preschoolers with Down syndrome and nonspecific intellectual disability in cognitive tasks (e.g., nonverbal reasoning and short-term memory) as well as in improving cognitive functions by means of a learning potential methodology. The two groups with intellectual disability showed similar performance on verbal short-term memory tasks and rule-based categorization, with differences recorded in visual short-term memory tasks. Their performance was below that of typically developing children comparable in chronological age. Groups’ cognitive performance improved significantly between pre- and post-intervention, with particularly significant gains in the nonspecific group. Factors that may potentially affect children’s performance before and during learning potential assessment are discussed.
