Objective: to identify the relationship between the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and anxiety, alcohol and tobacco consumption in high school adolescents from Puebla, Mexico. Method: descriptive correlational study, carried out with 301 adolescents from a public school in 2018. The New Addictions Detection Questionnaire and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were applied. For statistical analysis, the Kolmogorov Smirnov coefficient and Mann Whitney U, Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: the mean use of ICTs was 84.36 (SD = 15.1). Internet (M = 16.72, SD = 4.6) and cell phones (M = 15.52, SD = 5.0) were the most used. The use of ICTs and anxiety were statistically significant (F=21.719, p=.001), where the Internet and television predicted anxiety. About the use of ICTs and alcohol consumption (F = 3.745, p =.001) indicates that what this condition predicts is the use of cell phones. In the case of ICTs with tobacco use, there was no statistical significance. Conclusion: there is a relationship with the use of ICTs, anxiety and alcohol consumption in high school students in the state of Puebla. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to relate depression and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Method: descriptive and correlational study, with patients aged between 18 and 65 years on hemodialysis, in a health institution in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The Beck Depression Inventory and the WHOKOL-BREF questionnaire were applied in march 2020. For the analysis, the Spearman correlation and the Mann Whitney U were used. Results: 61% of the population was formed by men, whose age varied from 34 to 49 years old. More than 50% had from 6 to 10 years with a hemodialysis treatment. 41.7% showed mild depression, 20.8 moderate and 37.5 low. The average quality of life was 56.3 (SD=6.3). There is a negative and significant relationship between depression and quality of life (rs = -.530, p =.001). Conclusion: the presence of depression in hemodialysis patients presents changes in social relationships and physical health, and the greater the depression, the lower the quality of life.

Objective: to compare the risk factors, the stages of acquisition and the consumption of alcohol and tobacco as the relationship that exists between the risk factors and the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, in high school students of urban complements of the north and south of Nuevo Leon, Mexico Method: comparative, correlational study, cluster sampling and a sample of 374 in the period from 2016 to 2017. POSIT and EASJ were used as instruments and for the analysis the chi-square test, Friedman, Kruskal Wallis H, Spearman correlation and a regression model. Results: 31.6% of adolescents were in the stage of maintenance of alcohol consumption and 63.6% in the stage of precontemplation of tobacco consumption. The school risk factors (H = 15.19, p = .004) and individual risk factors (H = 22.0, p = .001) have more presence in the preparation stage (= 62.74; Mdn = 64.70) and maintenance of alcohol consumption (= 50.45; Mdn = 51.35). In tobacco use, individual risk factors in the preparation phase and family risk factors in maintenance stand out (p<.001). There is a relationship between risk factors and alcohol consumption (rs = .376, p< .001) and tobacco (rs = .345, p < .001). Conclusion: risk factors intervene in traffic through the stages of acquisition of licit drug use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to verify if there are significant changes in the perception of human care by nursing professionals in hospitalized patients throughout the days of hospitalization. Method: longitudinal and comparative study, in a sample of 166 patients admitted to the emergency departments observation, internal medicine, general surgery and infectiology, from June to September 2019.

Results: 51.8% of hospitalized patients were male, with a mean age of 38.8 years. In the perception of humanized nursing care, there was an increase of 13.3% in the usual category on the fifth day of hospitalization compared to the first day of hospitalization. Conclusion: the patient perceives better humanized care over the days of his hospitalization. In this way, with the length of the interaction, the humanized care of the nursing professional becomes more visible to hospitalized patients, meeting basic needs and relieving pain with the awareness of intentional care.

Objective: identify the relationship between the terminal and instrumental values and the consumption of tobacco in the health professionals of a primary care level of a public institution. Method: correlational descriptive design. The population was 165 participants. The instruments were a personal data and a prevalence of licit drug consumption survey and Schwartz and Bilsky value questionnaire. Results: 22% of the health professionals consume tobacco, starting at 13 years old, consuming one cigarette in a typical day with higher intake of male. The prevalence reports are: global 73.3%, lapsic 3%, current 4.7% and instant 2.4%. The most important instrumental value of the health professionals was to be able and the in terminal values was an exciting life. No relationship was found between the values and the tobacco consumption of the health professionals (r = -.157, p = 0.44), for the instrumental values there is no relation (r = - .050, p = .591). Conclusion: the tobacco consumption of health professionals is minimal and the values obtained are in conditions to provide guidance to reduce consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
