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.

It is proposed that the greater the parental conflict, the greater the parenting dysfunction, highlighting the importance of improving communication and resolution. The study aims to determine the relationship between perceived parental conflict and parenting practices among parents of children aged 2 to 12 in Cuenca-Ecuador.

Concerning parenting practices, 20.6% report a high use of coercive practices, and 23.1% report a high use of positive stimulation. The correlation between parenting practices and perceived parental conflict is low (0.019) and statistically non-significant (p = 0.735), suggesting that no relevant relationship exists between these variables in the sample analyzed. The conclusions suggest that, despite perceived parental conflicts, parenting practices are not significantly affected.Ítem Acceso Abierto El ejercicio de la coparentalidad en padres casados y separados / divorciados en el contexto Ecuatoriano.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cordero Idrovo, Daniela; Paredes Tello, Verónica; 0107621724Introduction: Co-parenting is the ability to effectively raise children while setting aside the marital relationship. It is influenced by parental qualities and family support, enhancing children’s development and cooperation between parents, even if separated.

For the third objective, the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test and Pearson or Spearman correlation were used, employing SPSS version 25. Results: The study found no differences in the factors of shared parenting and division of labor; however, there were differences in support for shared parenting between the two groups. Conclusion: The study shows that co-parenting is easier when both parents live together, but children’s well-being is not affected if separated parents receive proper guidance; moreover, conflicts arise from lack of communication and difficulty in dividing co-parenting roles.Ítem Acceso Abierto Trastorno disfórico premenstrual: Fundamentos teóricos y eficacia de tratamientos psicológicos.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Bacuilima Malusin , Emily; Cayambe Gómez, Sammy; Viñanzaca Lòpez, Juan; 0150723492; 1400735914Introduction: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a condition characterized by cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms present in women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and is linked to hormonal changes that occur six to ten days prior to menstruation.

Articles published in English were selected, including descriptive studies, meta-analyses, and other designs related to psychology and psychiatry. As a result, instruments such as SSS-8, PSST, PSQ, PMDD, ENR, and DASS-21 have been highlighted, which demonstrated diagnostic validity and excellent internal consistency (0.80-0.95), confirming their construct, diagnostic, predictive, and content validity. The psychosocial impact of PMDD shows that a poor diagnosis reduces quality of life, while an accurate diagnosis improves well-being and relationships, facilitating effective therapeutic interventions.Ítem Acceso Abierto Características neuropsicológicas asociadas a las adicciones comportamentales.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Álvarez Mendieta , Alisson; Bermeo Naspud , Manuel; Viñanzaca López, Juan; 2350662959; 0106146269Introduction.
