Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores Biopsicosociales y su relación con el orgasmo femenino: Una revisión sistemática.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cedeño Freire, Camila Pauleth; Flores Bonilla, Damaris Analía; Mazón Ávila, Juan Pablo; 0150447464; 1050309077This study analyzes the influence of biopsychosocial factors on the frequency and intensity of female orgasm in sexually active adult women. The methodology followed PRISMA guidelines through a search in Scopus and PubMed to select 20 cross-sectional studies published between 2014 and 2024 in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. The selection was conducted using the Rayyan platform, and methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Subsequently, the risk of bias was assessed and documented using the ROBVIS pro forma. The results revealed that anxiety, depression, self-esteem, partner communication, cultural norms, and sexual taboos can significantly affect a woman's experience of orgasm. Biological factors such as menopause and genital self-image also play a role, although their impact is less significant compared to psychological and social factors. Finally, mental health and social conditions play a determining role in the experience of the female orgasm. Therefore, the importance of sex education and the elimination of stigma is emphasized to improve women's sexual satisfaction and overall well-being.Ítem Acceso Abierto Imagen corporal y la relación de trastornos alimenticios en adolescentes: Una revisión sistemática.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Guayanay Gusqui, Keiner Zahid; Castro Ochoa, Fabián Leonardo; 0706861614Introduction: During adolescence, eating disorders affect mental and physical well-being. Unrealistic beauty standards and social pressure influence dissatisfaction with body image. Objective: To comprehensively examine the most relevant evidence on body image perception and its relationship with eating disorders in adolescents. Methodology: A qualitative systematic review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, together with DeCS and MeSH terms. Studies on adolescents aged 11 to 20 years in indexed journals were prioritized, excluding theses, case studies, and papers in the publication process. Methodological quality was assessed using PRISMA 2020 and JBI. Results: Out of 2,395 identified studies, 10 were selected, showing that body dissatisfaction is a variable for the increase in eating disorders. The influence of social media and exposure to idealized beauty models increase the distortion of self-image and the reproduction of unbalanced eating behaviors. Conclusion: Low self-esteem, social media use, and body image perception influence the occurrence of eating disorders. Skills supported by self-compassion and literacy can mitigate their effects. It is advisable to implement school programs that promote a healthy body image and reduce the prevalence of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, which affects more females.Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores de riesgo, Imagen corporal y autoestima en adolescentes: una revisión sistemática.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Carrasco Íñiguez, Renata Nicole; Robles Andrade, Merijoel; Castro Ochoa, Fabián Leonardo; 0107230354; 0105602411Adolescence is a stage that begins in puberty and continues through the age of 20, characterized by several biological, emotional, and social changes. Throughout this period, young people experience excessive concerns about their bodies, which can lead to a negative body image. Body perception is characterized by how a person perceives their own body and the behaviors they adopt about it. Self-esteem, on the other hand, is associated with both emotional and behavioral issues. This study’s main objective is to identify the influence of external risk factors, the environment, and the social context on body image perception and self-esteem in adolescents. Method: Observational and cross-sectional studies from 2014 to 2024 were included. The databases used were PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest. The level of bias was assessed using JBI. Results: Ten articles were selected, reflecting external factors such as family environment, social environment (peers), and media, as well as the relationship that the study variables have. The results indicate that social media, peers, and family bullying are external factors that negatively intervene in adolescents' body image and self-esteem. It was also evident that body image and self-esteem are interrelated. Discussion: External factors include social media, social comparisons, peer pressure, and bullying, affecting adolescents' body image and self-esteem.Ítem Acceso Abierto Impacto de la personalidad dependiente en las relaciones interpersonales de los adultos tempranos.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Flores Robles, María del Cisne; Arias Lucero, Mario Alfredo; Torres Moscoso, Amanda de los Ángeles; 1150571931; 1104088321Dependent personality affects between 3% and 5% of the adult population. This personality type is associated with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, which significantly impact the individual's relationships. Furthermore, the negative influence of dependent personality on interpersonal dynamics underscores the importance of exploring this topic in greater depth. As it is an underexplored area, this research needs to achieve a more precise and detailed understanding of dependent personality and its relevance in the social and emotional contexts. Therefore, the objective is to analyze the characteristics of dependent personality and its impact on the interpersonal relationships of young adults. Methodology: A qualitative and descriptive literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Scopus, where studies from 2019 to 2024 were selected that analyzed dependent personality in young adults, excluding duplicate documents and those that did not meet the proposed objectives. Results: According to the studies, dependent personality typically emerges in late adolescence (ages 15-18) and consolidates in early adulthood (ages 20-40), affecting autonomy and interpersonal relationship dynamics, leading to unstable relationships that are vulnerable to toxic patterns and significantly impacts personal, social, and family development. Conclusion: This research shows that dependent personality limits the quality of interpersonal bonds a person can maintain, affecting the previously mentioned areas and also the individual’s self-perception.Ítem Acceso Abierto La familia como red de apoyo en el sufrimiento de mujeres con Fibromialgia.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Toapanta Ramírez, Katherine Marcela; Tamayo Piedra, Mónica del Carmen; 0150691152Introduction: Fibromyalgia, which primarily affects women between the ages of 30 and 50, is characterized by pain, fatigue, and psychological disturbances. Its emotional impact can be intensified by a lack of family support, making it difficult to manage the condition. However, limited research on this relationship hinders the development of effective interventions to improve patients’ well-being. Therefore, the objective of this review is to analyze the relationship between family support and perceived suffering in women with fibromyalgia. Methodology: A descriptive literature review was conducted using keywords related to the study variables, such as family support, emotional suffering, and fibromyalgia, in databases including Scopus, Taylor & Francis, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Results: Studies published between 2014 and 2024 were included, focusing on correlational, cross-sectional research and systematic reviews involving adult women with Fibromyalgia (FM). It is highlighted that a stable support system—especially from the family—can reduce emotional suffering, whereas a lack of understanding exacerbates symptoms. It was identified that many women with FM face challenges in their traditional roles, leading to feelings of guilt and frustration. Conclusion: Family support is fundamental for women with fibromyalgia, as it influences their emotional well-being. A lack of understanding and a sense of isolation can worsen their distress. The condition also affects family dynamics, especially in traditional gender roles, which can impact self-esteem. Family cohesion and awareness of the disease facilitate adaptation.Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores de riesgo que influyen en la conducta suicida en adultos en Latinoamérica.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Maldonado Alvarado, Mayra Graciela; De Armas Mesa, Idania; 0706100880The risk factors influencing suicidal behavior in adults in Latin America were analyzed, considering psychosocial factors. This research aimed to identify and describe factors contributing to suicide prevention in the region. A narrative literature review with a qualitative approach was conducted, compiling studies published between 2015 and 2024. Data sources were extracted from recognized databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, and studies were selected according to strict exclusion and inclusion criteria, thus ensuring the validity and relevance of the data analyzed. The findings demonstrated that psychosocial factors, economic hardship, unemployment, and domestic violence significantly increase the risk of suicide among Latin American adults. This impact is especially relevant in vulnerable populations and individuals with limited access to mental health services. The lack of psychological care further exacerbates the issue, highlighting the need to implement interventions. It was determined that these factors have a crucial impact on suicidal behavior, which highlights the importance of strengthening support systems and expanding the availability of mental health services. Despite the limitations of the research, such as the reliance on secondary sources and the methodological diversity of the reviewed studies, the results provide a solid foundation for future research and the design of suicide prevention strategies in Latin America.Ítem Acceso Abierto Técnicas de afrontamiento de la ansiedad por desempeño en deportistas de alto rendimiento.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) León Martinez, Marco Andrés; Songor Illescas, Stalin Patricio; 0105158463Developing and applying effective coping techniques are essential for athletes, coaches, and mental health professionals in the sports field. However, a primary challenge is the variability in the effectiveness of these techniques. This literature examines coping techniques for performance anxiety in high-performance athletes, addressing effective strategies based on scientific evidence. The methodology used was based on a detailed search in databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and SciELO. The selected articles were analyzed using a qualitative and descriptive approach. The results highlight that the most effective coping techniques combine cognitive and physical interventions; similarly, CBT and mindfulness have proven useful in restructuring negative thoughts and reducing stress. Furthermore, factors such as the athlete's experience, the type of sport, and the social environment significantly influence the effectiveness of interventions. This study offers a relevant theoretical framework for creating personalized strategies with a higher impact on managing anxiety in elite athletes. This study provides a relevant theoretical consolidation for creating personalized strategies with a higher impact index.Ítem Acceso Abierto Terapia cognitivo-conductual frente al tratamiento farmacológico en el trastorno del deseo sexual hipoactivo en mujeres.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Lozada Castro, Joseline Tatiana; Mora Idrovo, Tamara Alejandra; Pozo López, Pablo Luis; 0107180333; 0107191868Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), characterized primarily by the absence of sexual desire, significantly impacts the lives of those affected, including their intimate relationships. This lack of desire cannot be better explained by external factors. The affected population is predominantly female, starting when they are 18 years old, with its incidence increasing with age. Treatment for HSDD is primarily based on a psychological approach based on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or the use of medications. General objective: To compare the benefits of CBT versus pharmacological treatments for HSDD in women aged 18 to 45 years. Method: A literature review of randomized clinical trials was conducted using the following databases: PubMed, ProQuest, Traylor & Francis, Scopus, and Web of Science. Two independent reviewers selected seven studies using the PRISMA method, which were reviewed and compared to determine which treatment offered greater benefits. The quality of bias was also evaluated using the Consort tool. Results: It was determined that medications reduce the symptoms associated with the disorder, while CBT provides more accurate results and facilitates long-term learning outcomes. Discussion: This systematic review opens the way for research on HSDD and provides a baseline for treatment. However, it was limited by the strict sample selection criteria; this point should be taken into consideration for future studies.Ítem Acceso Abierto Tipos de apego y relaciones interpersonales en adultos tempranos.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Barrera Barrera, Brigith Salome; Torres Moscoso, Amanda De Los Angeles; 0105895346Attachment styles in early adulthood play a crucial role in forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships. This literature-based thesis analyzes the influence of attachment on social, romantic, and work-related relationships between the ages of 18 and 25. Although this stage is characterized by the pursuit of independence and meaningful connections, the importance of attachment styles is often underestimated. Recognizing attachment patterns improves the emotional and social well- being of young adults, providing tools to face challenges in their relationships. This study aims to determine the influence of attachment types on the interpersonal relationships of young adults. A descriptive literature review was conducted based on the qualitative analysis of articles published between 2019 and 2024. The search was carried out by reviewing databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO, selecting studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Due to the historical basis of attachment theories, articles outside this time range will also be included. The findings show that adults with secure attachments tend to establish healthier relationships, while insecure styles negatively affect emotional management and stability in their bonds. In conclusion, attachment styles are determinants in developing interpersonal relationships during early adulthood and promoting secure attachment can improve relational dynamics.Ítem Acceso Abierto Importancia de la regulación emocional en la calidad de vida en los adultos mayores.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Ortíz Vidal, Crhystelle Elena; Yumbla Quinche, Mónica Alexandra; Viñanzaca López, Juan Pablo; 1900806553; 0105924377Recent studies have identified that quality of life (QoL) in older adults (OAs) is closely related to their ability to regulate emotions. This ability allows OAs to better adapt to stress and loss, contributing to higher QoL. The reviewed research highlights that this skill is essential for healthy adaptation and a better life experience during this stage. This study aimed to analyze the influence of emotional regulation (ER) on the well-being of older adults and identify specific strategies that promote their health. A narrative literature review was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, Dialnet, and SciELO information. A total of 32 articles published between 2014 and 2024, in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, were selected. These studies addressed the variables of ER, psychological well-being, and QoL in older adults. The results showed that adaptive strategies such as self-compassion and acceptance promote psychological well-being, while maladaptive strategies such as self-criticism and catastrophizing reduce it. Institutionalized older adults tend to show lower QoL compared to those living independently, with factors such as autonomy and social support playing a key role. Furthermore, aging, cognitive impairment, and chronic stress negatively affect both ER and QoL in older adults. It is concluded that ER is essential to improving QoL in older adults, as it helps them cope with aging-related challenges, increasing resilience and well-being. Implementing intervention programs to strengthen ER and improve QoL is emphasized.Ítem Acceso Abierto Trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en adolescentes de Latinoamérica: una revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Bernal Muñoz , Jorge Fernando; Ormaza Ulloa, Luis Miguel; 0302501713Eating disorders (EDs), such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, are a growing public health concern among adolescents in Latin America, particularly among young women. This systematic review aims to identify the prevalence of EDs in adolescents aged 10 to 19 years in Latin America and to analyze the associated sociocultural factors. A qualitative design following the PRISMA method was used, including studies published between 2019 and 2024 in SCOPUS, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. Inclusion criteria considered epidemiological studies, systematic reviews, and prevalence analyses. The results show that the most prevalent EDs are, in order, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Among the most prominent sociocultural risk factors are social pressure, the influence of social media on body image, low self-esteem, high self-demand, and unattainable beauty standards. Protective factors identified include family and social support, education in healthy eating habits, and access to mental health and nutrition information. Current treatments include hospitalization, psychotherapy, and outpatient services, although barriers such as treatment resistance and high comorbidity persist. The conclusions emphasize the need for an interdisciplinary approach that considers psychological, social, and biological factors, and suggest future research on rural communities and the impact of social media.Ítem Acceso Abierto Experiencias traumáticas asociadas a la adicción al alcohol en adultos emergentes.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Barrera Gia, Josseline Nicole; Narváez Pillco, Viviana Faviola; 0106750847Traumatic experiences are considered events that trigger fear and significant distress in the individual who experiences them, overwhelming their ability to cope. As a result, some individuals develop problematic substance use, specifically alcohol addiction, which becomes a coping mechanism. This literature review aims to analyze the relationship between traumatic experiences associated with alcohol addiction in emerging adults through an analysis of various scientific articles in high-impact databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. The findings show that adverse events occurring more frequently at an early age, such as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, are significantly related to the development of alcohol consumption in emerging adults, along with the presence of symptoms such as stress, anxiety, and dependence. The reviewed studies indicate that exposure to trauma and problematic alcohol consumption mostly show a positive correlation, meaning that the greater the number of traumatic experiences, the higher the risk of developing alcohol addiction. Therefore, being a complex issue, it requires a multifaceted approach, along with the integration of prevention strategies, psychotherapeutic treatment, and public policies aimed at reducing vulnerability in this population to mitigate the adverse effects that trauma can bring, promote more adaptive coping strategies, improve quality of life, and achieve a balance in overall well-being, including psychological, emotional, and social aspects.Ítem Acceso Abierto Eficacia de la terapia cognitiva conductual en mujeres con cáncer de mama.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Mendoza Avellan, Karla Fiorella; Loja Villacis, Doménica Dayana; León Prieto, María; 1351585342; 1400789127Breast cancer (BC) has had a serious impact on the lives of patients, not only from a physical aspect but also emotionally and psychologically. Women diagnosed with this disease often experience symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, which affect their lifestyle and their ability to cope. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in women with this disease through a literature review. For this purpose, a descriptive-qualitative narrative review was conducted, through the selection of 11 articles found in databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, which were analyzed using a bibliographic record that described the type of study, symptoms, objective and results. Thus, through the analysis of the important findings, the effectiveness of the implementation of CBT in women with BC was confirmed, and it is also highlighted as essential and effective for the correct psychological behavior of patients with this diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive approaches that address physical emotional, and psychological aspects. Although the results are mostly positive, there are limitations and challenges that must be addressed in future research to strengthen the evidence and improve interventions.Ítem Acceso Abierto Relación del maltrato emocional, bienestar psicológico subjetivo e inteligencia emocional en estudiantes universitarios de Cuenca.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Rodríguez Salto., María Johanna; Cevallos Pilaquinga , Viviana Lisseth; Paredes, Verónica; 0150170199; 0350182762Emotional abuse is one of the most common types of psychological abuse that does not involve physical aggression during childhood, with the potential to negatively impact long-term psychological health, particularly in early adulthood. University students are especially vulnerable to these consequences, which could alter their Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and Emotional Intelligence (EI). However, how these variables interact within this population is not yet fully understood. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between SWB, emotional abuse, and EI in university students from Cuenca. The methodology used is observational since the variables of interest were not manipulated but observed as they appeared in their environment. The methodological approach is quantitative, using standardized instruments such as the Psychological Well-being Scale, the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire, and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale; descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were applied. The results showed a low prevalence of students with a history of emotional abuse, with the female population being the most affected. SWB and EI levels were found to be within normal ranges despite a history of emotional abuse in childhood. When correlating the variables, it was found that there is no correlation between the age of abuse and the SWB and EI levels in the population with a history of abuse. However, a direct correlation between SWB and EI was observed.Ítem Acceso Abierto Eficacia del tratamiento cognitivo conductual para el trastorno de la depresión en pacientes adultos oncológicos.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Vega Romero, Dayra; Tamayo Piedra, Mónica; 1104916141Introduction: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most used techniques to treat depressive symptoms in people with an oncological diagnosis. This group has a high incidence of psychological disorders due to the physical and emotional impact of the disease and iatrogenic treatments. This article discusses CBT in oncology, focusing on second and third-generation interventions emphasizing reducing depressive symptoms. Objective: To analyze the comparative effectiveness between second-generation therapies (focused on modifying dysfunctional thoughts) and third-generation psychological treatments (oriented towards the recognition and adaptability of specific cognitive processes). Methodology: A literature review and qualitative analysis of Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) type studies and systematic reviews were conducted. The search covered studies published between 2014 and 2024 in relevant databases, selecting those that evaluated CBT in cancer patients with depressive symptoms. Results: Studies show that both second and third-generation CBT are effective in reducing depressive symptoms. However, third-generation therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), have long-term advantages in patients' general wellness and emotional adjustment. Conclusion: Both generations of CBT are effective, but third-generation therapies stand out for their long-lasting benefits. It is recommended to personalize interventions and develop more studies with robust designs.Ítem Acceso Abierto Consumo de alcohol en adolescentes y sus efectos en la familia.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Lojano Mogrovejo , Edisson; Toral Duchi , Bryam; Quito Tapia, Fausto; 0107477481; 0105914048Alcohol consumption during adolescence is associated with various negative consequences for mental health, such as recurrent episodes of alcohol intoxication, deterioration of inhibitory control, and increasing psychological dependence on alcohol. These manifestations can affect neurocognitive development and increase the risk of mood disorders and impulsive behaviors. These problems can drastically alter the mood and behavior of adolescents, negatively affecting their relationships, performance at home, and academic performance. According to the World Health Organization, alcoholism is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The purpose of this research was to identify alcohol consumption in adolescents and its repercussions on thefamily. To do so, articles were consulted in various databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, SciELO, and PubMed. A literature review was conducted using a qualitative approach with a descriptive scope. It was concluded that alcohol consumption constitutes a public health problem with global implications. The research conducted has identified a considerable prevalence of young people with problematic alcohol consumption in Latin America, who, for the most part, seek to build their identity or are influenced by sociocultural factors. This phenomenon significantly impacts adolescents' physical health, psychological wellness, and interpersonal relationships, negatively affecting their family and social dynamics. Furthermore, it exposes young people to high risks of emotional harm, affective disorders, and family conflict without full awareness of the long-term repercussions.Ítem Acceso Abierto Eficacia de tratamiento con estimulación magnética transcraneal frente al tratamiento farmacológico en pacientes con depresión.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cárdenas Moscoso, Alexis; Jiménez Herrera, Rómulo; 1400945422Introduction. Depression is an invisible enemy that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by persistent sadness, a loss of interest in once enjoyable activities, and changes in appetite and sleep, resulting in a deterioration in the individual’s quality of life. To confront this psychopathology, two main approaches are used: antidepressant medications and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This bibliographic research aims to identify which of these two interventions is more effective in treating this mental illness. Objective. To systematically describe the main research findings related to comparative clinical trials between TMS and psychopharmacology in patients with refractory depression. Methodology. With a descriptive scope, this bibliographic research involves selecting and reviewing various articles, books, and documents related to non-invasive neuromodulation (TMS), psychopharmacology, and its therapeutic applicability in depression through randomized clinical trials published over the last decade. Conclusion. The conclusion that can be drawn is that TMS is a more effective alternative to pharmacological treatment in patients with depression, as the analysis of several studies has shown a greater favorable response in the cerebral cortex, thereby improving the mood of participants and reducing depressive symptoms.Ítem Acceso Abierto Repercusiones psicológicas en familias migrantes.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Peralta Villalta, Pamela; Mazón Ávila, Juan; 0106146921Introduction: The International Organization for Migration defines migration as the movement of people away from their usual residence. This process has become a significant issue, having a substantial impact on the mental health of individuals and their families. Objective: To establish the psychological repercussions related to migrant families.

Therefore, this research underscores the urgent need to address psychological issues among these doctors to ensure quality care and improve their quality of life.Ítem Acceso Abierto Causas y consecuencias del síndrome de burnout en deportistas de alto rendimiento.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Valverde Vivar, Favian; Songor Illescas, Stalin; 1400744999This research focuses on burnout syndrome and its occurrence in high-performance athletes. Its objective was to identify the causes and consequences of this syndrome and the related risk factors. A bibliographic analysis was conducted with a qualitative and descriptive approach, using scientific databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Taylor & Francis, and PubMed, descriptors such as burnout, prolonged stress, high-performance athlete, causes, and consequences. The results show that burnout syndrome affects young athletes, both men and women, and leads to adverse physical and psychological effects, such as illness, injuries, dissatisfaction, and reduced performance. In the case of athletes with disabilities, the impact of burnout can be even more severe. Several risk factors were identified, including competitive pressure, an authoritarian coaching style, lack of time for recovery, negative interactions, and a lack of social support. On the other hand, resilience and optimism can act as protective factors.
