Background Emotional and stress-related disorders show high incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and comorbidity rates in Mexico. In recent decades, research findings indicate that cognitive behavioral interventions, from a disorder-specific perspective, are the effective front-line treatment for anxiety and depression care. However, these treatments are not often used. Reasons include limited access and low availability to effective interventions and comorbidity between mental disorders. Emotional deregulation of negative affectivity has been found to be a mediating factor in addressing emotional disorders from a transdiagnostic perspective, aimed at two or more specific disorders. In addition, technological advancement has created alternatives for psychological assistance, highlighting the possibilities offered by technologies since Internet-supported intervention programs have been empirically tested for effectiveness, efficiency and efficacy and can be key to ensuring access to those who are inaccessible. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, moderators of clinical change and acceptability of a transdiagnostic guided Internet-delivered intervention versus a transdiagnostic self-guided Internet-delivered intervention for emotional, trauma and stress-related disorders, and waiting list in community sample. Methods A three-armed, parallel group, superiority randomized controlled clinical trial with repeated measurements at four times: pretest, posttest, follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months. Outcomes assessor, participant, care provider and investigator will be blinded. Participants aged 18 to 70 years will be randomly allocated 1:1:1 to one of three study arms: a) Transdiagnostic guided internet-delivered intervention with synchronous assistance, b) Transdiagnostic self-guided internet-delivered intervention, c) Waiting list group. Based on sample size estimation, a minimum of 207 participants (69 in each intervention group) will be included. Discussion The study could contribute to improving the efficacy of transdiagnostic internet-delivered interventions to promote the dissemination of evidence-based treatments and eventually, to decrease the high prevalence of emotional and trauma-related disorders in the Mexican population.

En Odontopediatría, aproximadamente uno de siete individuos de la población experimenta elevados niveles de miedo y ansiedad dental, el cual influye en la salud oral y el tratamiento farmacológico, conductual o cognitivo han sido empleados para su intervención con resultados variantes (Aminabadi, et al. 2012). La literatura para el manejo del dolor en esta población reconoce que la distracción, por medio de las nuevas tecnologías, es efectiva para reducir el dolor y mejorar la experiencia en los tratamientos dentales. Con base en esto, se describe la experiencia de llevar a cabo un proyecto interdisciplinario entre la psicología y la odontopediatría en la que se aplican como técnica de distracción para el manejo del dolor el uso de la Realidad virtual (RV), Se describen los resultados en un paciente y se discute su relevancia para el trabajo entre ambas disciplinas facilitado por las nuevas tecnologías de la información.
El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la conducta impulsiva en un grupo de adolescentes testigos de violencia familiar empleando un paradigma de elección en donde se manipularon cuatro dimensiones del reforzador: calidad, inmediatez, esfuerzo y programa de reforzamiento y comparar su ejecución con adolescentes no testigos de violencia familiar. Participaron un total de 45 adolescentes (28 hombres y 17 mujeres) con rango de edad entre los 14 y 17 años. Todos pertenecientes a una escuela de nivel medio superior de la ciudad de México. Cada participante completó siete sesiones de evaluación de la conducta impulsiva: una línea base, cinco de evaluación y una réplica. Los resultados indican que los adolescentes testigos de violencia familiar no difieren significativamente de su grupo de comparación en el número de elecciones impulsivas cuando la inmediatez compitió contra la calidad, sin embargo, sí hay diferencias cuando la calidad compite contra el esfuerzo en donde los adolescentes testigos de violencia familiar prefieren realizar un menor esfuerzo, aunque implique obtener un reforzador de baja calidad. Los resultados son discutidos en función de la pertinencia de evaluar el constructo de impulsividad a partir de un paradigma de elección dentro de una población no clínica con características específicas.
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems to generate images from natural language are a game changer in graphic design. However, in visual persuasive communication, the image is not just a drawing, but is the message itself. It arises from the need for understanding how AI systems could be adopted in the design of visual communication. Thus, this article presents a model that describes the theoretical–methodological factors present in the design of persuasive visual discourses, which arises from a qualitative study with an analysis of grounded theory from the opinion of experts in the essential areas for visual communication. Thus, we propose a model to guide the design process of persuasive messages throughout seven stages. Additionally, an analysis for contributing to the orderly and informed incorporation of technologies, techniques, and methods relevant to each stage is presented.
