Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most common forms of domestic violence. Research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) prevalence using national samples is scarce. This study aims to estimate trends of IPV prevalence by sex and to identify the correlates of IPV among the Mexican population. Methods: We used data from Mexico's 2011 and 2016 National Survey of Addictions (NSA). The analytic sample consists of 44,963 individuals aged 14 to 65 years old. Poisson regression models regressed IPV on substance use behaviors (alcohol and drug use) and sociodemographic factors. Results: Overall, IPV prevalence did not change in the study period (From 15.6% in 2011 to 14.9% in 2016). The associated factors to IPV were having a partner who uses alcohol (APR) =1.68, 95%CI 1.54-1.84), having a partner who uses drugs (APR=2.80, 95%CI 2.46 -3.18). Living in an urban (APR=1.18, 95% CI 1.05-1.33) or metropolitan area (APR=1.16, 95% CI 1.04-1.28) was associated with a higher prevalence of IPV. Single marital status (APR=0.66, 95% CI 0.56-0.78) was associated with a lower prevalence of IPV. Conclusions: The IPV-associated factors are similar in both sexes, so comprehensive prevention and future interventions must consider the two directions of IPV (victim and perpetrator).

The well-being in the people is a key aspect of the field of psychology. Hence, it is important to an-alyse the variables that are related to life satisfaction and happiness as perceived by individuals and that, therefore, increase their overall well-being. The main objective of this study was to ana-lyse the predictive capacity of emotional intelligence and perceived social support on both the level of life satisfaction and perceived happiness. A total of 380 psychology students completed the Trait Meta Mood Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Subjective Happiness Scale. The results show that both emotional intelligence and social support are related to and predictive of subjective happiness and life satisfaction. The importance of developing the components of emotional intelligence and promoting an adequate social network in young people is highlighted.

The aim of this study is to determine the importance and effectiveness of different interventions aimed at improving social skills in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through theatrical techniques. It aims to establish a direct relationship between the interventions and the benefits for socioemotional reciprocity, nonverbal communication behaviors used for social interactions and the development, establishment and understanding of interpersonal relationships. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature published from 2011 to 2021 in the ERIC, Web of Science, EuropePMC, PubPsych, Índices-Csic, Redalyc, Roderic, Scopus, PubMed, Scielo and Dialnet databases was carried out, and a total of 29 articles were reviewed. The results indicate that theater creates a safe environment in which people with ASD can engage with their own emotions and those of others, thereby offering a therapeutic setting in which to promote communication, motor development and social coexistence. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

The aim of this study was to use latent profile analysis to identify specific profiles of burnout syndrome in combination with work engagement and to identify whether job satisfaction, psychological well-being, and other sociodemographic and work variables affect the probability of presenting a profile of burnout syndrome and low work enthusiasm. A total of 355 healthcare professionals completed the Spanish Burnout Inventory, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale for Adults. Latent profile analysis identified 4 profiles: 1) burnout with high indolence (BwHIn); 2) burnout with low indolence (BwLIn); 3) high engagement, low burnout (HeLb); and 4) in the process of burning out (IPB). Multivariate logistic regression showed that a second job in a government health care institution; a shift other than the morning shift; being divorced, separated or widowed; and work load are predictors of burnout profiles with respect to the HeLb profile. These data are useful for designing intervention strategies according to the needs and characteristics of each type of burnout profile.
