Spanish version of the BAT: adaptation of the burnout scale and study of the impact on remote work Pablo Murias José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina Esteban Agulló Tomás burnout Burnout Assessment Tool Spanish adaptation psychometric validation measurement invariance remote work hybrid work on-site work work modalities Maslach Burnout Inventory occupational stress Abstract The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) has been the most widely used instrument to assess burnout syndrome. However, the scientific literature has pointed out theoretical limitations, as well as the inability to determine whether an individual has burnout or not. To overcome these criticisms, the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) was developed. This study has two objectives: (1) To adapt the BAT-23 to the Spanish cultural context. (2) To analyse the relationship between burnout and different work modalities (on-site, remote work and hybrid work). The adaptation process of the BAT involved a sequence of EFA and CFA with different subsamples, as well as reliability and validity tests. Factor invariance was calculated according to the on-site or remote work variable. 803 workers participated in the study. The best fit of the BAT was obtained with a 4-factor model and without item 6 (CFI = 0.986, TLI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.075, SRMR = 0.067, GFI = 0.986, NFI = 0.981). A second-order latent factor was obtained and the scale was found to be invariant. In addition, the BAT showed good reliability and validity indices. No differences were found in burnout levels according to the different work modalities, although different predictor variables were found. The BAT represents an alternative to the theoretical, practical and psychometric limitations of the MBI, offering a more comprehensive and coherent measurement of burnout syndrome. Work modality is not a variable that necessarily implies a higher level of burnout. It is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the job. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1007/s12144-025-08188-x Current Psychology Current Psychology urn:issn:1046-1310 urn:issn:1936-4733 Current Psychology, 2025, vol. 44, n. 17, p. 14638-14654 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12144-025-08188-x.pdf Q1 Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Musculoskeletal disorders and psychosocial risks in geriatric nursing aides: the mediating role of social support at work Laura Mateos‐González Julio Rodríguez Suárez José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina Esteban Agulló Tomás musculoskeletal disorders psychosocial risk factors social support at work supervisor support peer support psychological job demands job control nursing homes lumbar spine cervical spine shoulder pain occupational health • Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are very prevalent among geriatric nursing aides. • The most affected areas are the lumbar spine, cervical spine and shoulders. • High psychological demand is associated with musculoskeletal disorders. • Social support from supervisors has a mediating effect on the relationship between psychological demand and musculoskeletal health. To analyse the link between Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) and certain psychosocial risk factors in the context of geriatric nursing aides. To explore social support at work as a mediating variable between other psychosocial risks and the onset of musculoskeletal symptoms. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out. Data from a sample of 526 nursing aides working in 35 residential centres for the elderly of a Spanish region were collected. Validated scales such as the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and Job Content Questionnaire were used to measure prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and different psychosocial risks (psychological demand, social support from supervisors and peers, control over work). A parallel mediation analysis was carried out to determine the mediating role of social support at work on the relationship between the psychological job demands and MSDs. Psychological demand and social support at work were significantly linked ( U = 17,792; U = 18,766, p < .001) to musculoskeletal health.The results from the parallel mediation analysis showed that the indirect effect of the psychological demand on MSDs via social support form supervisors was also statistically significant (β = 0.079; CI = 0.034; 0.137) but not so in the case of social support from peers (β= - 0.008; CI= - 0.041; 0.010). Psychological demand and social support are risks significantly associated with musculoskeletal health. Social support received from supervisors acts as a protective factor against MSDs in workers with high-demand jobs. However, social support from peers does not have a significant effect on the model proposed. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gerinurse.2025.103689 Geriatric Nursing Geriatric Nursing urn:issn:0197-4572 urn:issn:1528-3984 Geriatric Nursing, 2025, vol. 66, n.

DESIGN: A quasi-experimental research study is carried out through three groups, one control (educational workshops on active ageing given by professionals) and two experimental (workshops given by peers with digital or face-to-face exposure). METHODS: All groups share duration (7 weeks) and content, modifying the route of exposure. The effectiveness of the model is measured through the variables of physical health, mental health and social support. Loneliness and the need for care are also controlled for. RESULTS: The total sample consists of n = 209 people aged over 60 living in a rural context, of which n = 12 form the volunteer/mentor group. Active ageing interventions show an improvement in the perception of physical and mental health among people in need of some form of care, with all three modalities being equally effective. The impact on social support is analysed by controlling for the loneliness and social participation variable; in these cases, the face-to-face experimental group of peers is more effective than the others. CONCLUSIONS: The peer-to-peer methodology is as effective as the traditional methodology with a practitioner in maintaining and improving health perception, and the face-to-face methodology with peers is more useful in fostering social support among people experiencing loneliness. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Peer mentoring is presented as a good strategy to improve social support for older people and to combat loneliness. IMPACT: To address the prevention of dependency through the promotion of active ageing. Peer mentoring is confirmed to have a significant impact on social support and could be a socio-educational tool applicable to older people experiencing loneliness. REPORTING METHOD: This study has adhered to JBI guidelines. JBI critical appraisal checklist for quasi-experimental studies has been used. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Volunteer mentors contributed to the design and delivery of the workshops. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.17521 Journal of Clinical Nursing Journal of Clinical Nursing urn:issn:0962-1067 urn:issn:1365-2702 Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2025, vol. 34, n. 6, p. 2447-2458 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by-nc https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/jocn.17521 Q1 pubmed Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Suicidal Ideation as a Multifactorial Concept: A Systematic Review of Psychosocial Risk Factors in Women Cristina Rea-Rodríguez Esteban Agulló-Tomás José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina Beatriz Oliveros Laura Mateos‐González suicidal ideation women psychosocial risk factors social support financial insecurity job insecurity sociodemographic factors income educational attainment marital status cultural factors traumatic events COVID-19 pandemic 2008 financial crisis mental health Suicidal ideation is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon that has been widely studied over the years, although many of these studies have mainly reflected a clinical component, focussing on risk factors and causes from a medical perspective. This systematic review focuses on the importance of psychosocial factors in order to understand the phenomenon as a whole. PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched following the PRISMA methodology, including empirical studies related to suicidal ideation and its variables. Post‐2008 studies were selected since the global financial crisis marked a structural change in the economy and public policies, affecting key variables that may influence the results. Previous studies may not reflect current economic and social conditions. In total, 22 studies were included, providing evidence on the most significant risk factors for suicidal ideation in the female population, highlighting those related to mental health, stress, social support, sociodemographic factors and contextual and cultural factors. Within these blocks, variables associated with social support, both emotional and instrumental, played a crucial role, as did sociodemographic and economic factors, such as income level, educational level and marital status. In addition, financial and job insecurity were found to increase women’s vulnerability to suicidal ideation. Contextual and cultural factors, such as geographical location, culture, traumatic experiences or structural changes, including the pandemic, were also identified as key determinants. 2026 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1155/hsc/7128705 Health & Social Care in the Community Health & Social Care in the Community urn:issn:0966-0410 urn:issn:1365-2524 Health & Social Care in the Community, 2026, vol. 2026, n. 1 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://doi.org/10.1155/hsc/7128705 Q1 Good health and well-being Gender equality Reduced inequalities Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal The effect of precarious employment on suicidal ideation: A serial mediation model with contractual temporality and job insecurity José Antonio Llosa Enrique Iglesias-Martínez Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina Beatriz Oliveros suicidal ideation precarious employment job insecurity permanent employment employment contract type mental health suicide risk factors mediation Suicidal ideation is a variable prior to suicidal behaviour and one of the main producers of risk of death by suicide. The sample consisted of a total of 1,288 people living in Spain who at the time of answering the questionnaire were in active employment. Contractual status is a significant variable for the prediction of suicidal ideation. Contractual temporality is a risk factor for suicidal ideation, whereas permanent employment is a protective factor. In suicidal ideation, job insecurity is a mediating risk factor and a key dimension of job precariousness because of the adverse effects on mental health it causes. Job insecurity interacts with objective causes of precariousness and is presented as a necessary variable for understanding the relationship between these material causes and suicidal thoughts. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1177/0143831x241240616 Economic and Industrial Democracy Economic and Industrial Democracy urn:issn:0143-831X urn:issn:1461-7099 Economic and Industrial Democracy, 2024, vol. 46, n. 1, p. 239-255 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0143831X241240616?download=true Q1 Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Peace, justice, and strong institutions Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Cross-cultural validation of children’s psychosocial impact of assistive device scale for Spanish population Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas Sara Menéndez‐Espina José Saborit José Antonio Llosa assistive devices children psychosocial impact cross-cultural adaptation Spanish adaptation self-esteem competence adaptability quality of life occupational performance cut-off values elementary school students Introduction Assistive products play a crucial role in supporting children’s occupational performance, participation, and quality of life by enabling engagement in daily activities, play, and learning. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing have expanded opportunities for the development of personalized, adaptable, and cost-effective assistive products for children, highlighting the need to evaluate their real-world impact. Consequently, there is a growing need for child-centered outcome measures that capture how assistive products influence occupational performance and quality of life. Objective This paper aims to adapt and validate the Children’s Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Device Scale (C-PIADS) for children in Spain and determine a cut-off point for clinical use. It is a self-report five-point Smiley Face Likert-type scale with 15 items that evaluate the constructs of Competence, Adaptability, and Self-esteem using short sentences. Setting School. Participants The sample comprised a total of n = 57 participants residing in Spain and the majority of the Assistive Products were for mobility and writing. Results The psychometric validation process was preceded by a sequence of blind back translation, exploratory, and confirmatory factor analysis, tests of validity, and internal consistency analysis. The ROC curve method was used to determine a cut-off point. The results show good internal consistency score measured using Cronbach’s alpha (α = .90), McDonald’s ω (ω = .90) and test-retest reliability ( r = .88). Conclusions C-PIADS has good psychometric properties and is a useful tool for evaluating the psychosocial impact in Spanish context. 2026 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1177/10554181261432069 Technology and Disability Technology and Disability urn:issn:1055-4181 urn:issn:1878-643X Technology and Disability, 2026, vol. 38, n. 3, p. 263-274 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess closedAccess Q4 Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Cross-cultural adaptation of the Job Insecurity Scale (JIS) in Brazil and cross-national analysis of Job Insecurity effects in Brazil and Spain José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina Camila Teixeira Heleno Lívia de Oliveira Borges job insecurity cross-cultural adaptation psychometric validation mental health GHQ-28 cross-national comparison Brazil Spain scale invariance BACKGROUND: Job flexibilisation has increased interest in job insecurity and its consequences. Job insecurity, understood as a fear of losing employment, is linked to a deterioration of mental health, social relations or job satisfaction. Its study has been developed primarily in Europe, in the absence of validated psychometric scales in the Latin American context. To bridge this knowledge gap, the aim of this study is to cross-culturally adapt the Job Insecurity Scale (JIS) in Brazil, and secondly, to establish a cross-national analysis between people employed in Brazil and Spain. METHODS: As criteria for the sample, people with formally established employment in Brazil and Spain were selected. For the scale adaptation process, a sequence of EFA, CFA and validity tests are carried out, as well as a multigroup invariance according to the gender variable. The cross-national comparison compares the effect sizes of affective and cognitive job insecurity on the mental health variable measured with the GHQ-28 scale in both countries. RESULTS: 1165 employed people participate in the study, of whom 573 reside in Brazil and 592 in Spain. The results of the scale adaptation show that the JIS is suitable for use in the Brazilian employment context. The scale offers a factorialisation in two dimensions (affective and cognitive) (CFI = 0.993; TLI = 0.987; RMSEA = 0.04; SRMR = 0.049; GFI = 0.999; NFI = 0.980) with good reliability (ω > 0.84). The cross-national comparison shows that job insecurity has a greater weight in explaining the mental health of the employed population in Brazil than in Spain, which is related to higher indicators of job insecurity in the Brazilian context. CONCLUSIONS: With this validation we now have a validated scale of job insecurity validated for the Brazilian context. The comparison between countries shows the need to establish these analyses, since the behaviour of the phenomenon is different in the contexts studied. 2023 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1186/s40359-023-01156-9 BMC Psychology BMC Psychology urn:issn:2050-7283 BMC Psychology, 2023, vol. 11, n. 1, p. 117 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://bmcpsychology.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40359-023-01156-9 Q1 doaj pubmed Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal El Presentation of the Multidimensional Couple: Socioemotional Impact Scale Raúl Medina Centeno Sara Menéndez‐Espina José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás couple relationships partner perceptions scale development psychometric validation emotional intimacy trust respect power in relationships second-order factors Introduction: A systemic instrument is presented to measure the socioemotional network in relation to the partner and the person's perception of the impact of this intimate network on his or her partner for his or her classification. It is based on the idea that a nurtured social network brings positive benefits to one's nuclear partner. In order to verify this assumption both in research and in clinical practice, it is necessary to construct a complex instrument that allows reaching different dimensions within and outside the couple. Objective: The study seeks the construction and validation of the Multidimensional Couple scale to measure seven dimensions in the couple: emotional, cognitive, physical interest, protection, trust, respect and power, as well as an additional dimension to classify the type of couple. Method: An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (CFA) were carried out to test the psychometric properties and the adequacy to the theoretical model. A total of 1149 people (71.5% women and 28% men) living in Mexico participated. Result: The presence of a scale formed by 7 dimensions in the couple and a second order factor is confirmed, which can be applied both by adjusting the answers to the couple itself and to other people different from the couple. The goodness-of-fit and reliability indices are satisfactory. Conclusion: This scale provides a psychometric instrument that allows the study of the relationship between the couple. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.24016/2024.v10.383 Interacciones Interacciones urn:issn:2411-5940 urn:issn:2413-4465 Interacciones, 2024, p. e383 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://ojs.revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/download/383/507 doaj Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Organizational climate of hostility and support toward LGTBI+ employees: meta-analysis and gender identity as a moderating variable María Luz Rivero-Díaz Esteban Agulló-Tomás José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina organizational climate gender identity disclosure job satisfaction discrimination distress coverings identity management mental health Introduction Supportive and hostile workplace climates are relevant to understanding the work experiences of LGTBI+ employees. Method A meta-analysis was carried out to examine the associations between supportive and hostile workplace climates and work-related psychosocial outcomes, psychological variables (individual-level mental health) and identity management variables. Results Supportive climate has positive effect sizes with disclosure and job satisfaction. It also has negative effect sizes with discrimination, distress and covering. Hostile climate is linked to higher distress and covering, and with lower disclosure and job satisfaction. Conclusion Hostility and support are associated with psychosocial, identity management and psychological variables among LGTBI+ employees. 2026 info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3389/forgp.2026.1803420 Frontiers in Organizational Psychology Frontiers in Organizational Psychology urn:issn:2813-771X Frontiers in Organizational Psychology, 2026, vol. 4 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/organizational-psychology/articles/10.3389/forgp.2026.1803420/pdf doaj Decent work and economic growth Reduced inequalities Gender equality Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Job insecurity and mental health: The moderating role of coping strategies from a gender perspective Sara Menéndez‐Espina José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Julio Rodríguez Suárez Rosana Sáiz Villar Héctor Félix Lahseras-Díez job insecurity mental health coping strategies gender differences moderating effect disengagement coping engagement coping social support temporary work unemployment employee well-being Job insecurity is a growing phenomenon, typical of an employment context characterised by high rates of temporary work and unemployment. Previous research has shown a direct relationship between job insecurity and mental health impairment. The present analysis goes into this relationship in depth, studying the moderating role of coping strategies and predicting that men and women implement different types of strategies. A sample of 1.008 workers is analysed, 588 women and 420 men. The Tobin CSI scale was used to analyse the coping strategies, in addition to JIS-8 to assess job insecurity, the MOS Perceived Social Support Survey and the GHQ-28 test to evaluate mental health. Then, a hierarchical linear regression was designed to study the moderating role of 8 coping strategies of job insecurity and 4 mental health subscales in men and women, separately. Results illustrate that coping strategies play a moderating role in the relationship between job insecurity and mental health. However, the aggravating role of disengagement coping strategies is more relevant than the buffering role of engagement strategies. On the other hand, women implement a greater number of coping strategies, with more positive results for mental health. Also, in the relationship between job insecurity and mental health the most important strategies are the ones related to social interaction inside and outside an organisation, and these are the main ones used by women. It therefore follows that strengthening rich social relationships inside and outside the working environment is a guarantee of well-being. 2019 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00286 Frontiers in Psychology Frontiers in Psychology urn:issn:1664-1078 Frontiers in Psychology, 2019, vol. 10, p. 286 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00286/pdf Q1 doaj pubmed Good health and well-being Decent work and economic growth Reduced inequalities Gender equality Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Revisiting the work-suicide link: renewed evidence and models of analysis in workplace contexts José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina Beatriz Oliveros suicide occupational stress working conditions employment psychosocial factors workplace mental health suicide prevention ecological approach Suicide is a priority public health problem for the World Health Organization. It is a multifactorial phenomenon, for which there is no effective strategy for prevention and reduction.

It is a relevant source of stress, with negative consequences on people's mental health. The main objective and contribution of this study is to identify how gender inequality and job insecurity are related, responding to the lack of consensus found in scientific literature in this field of study. To do so, a predictive study of job insecurity, broken down by gender, is developed, considering sociodemographic and labor variables as antecedents. The sample included 1,005 employees (420 men and 585 women) aged between 18 and 65, and a linear regression was conducted for each group. Results show that women perceive greater insecurity under precarious working conditions (temporary work, informal work, salary cuts, tenure), whereas in the case of men variables related to their professional careers (job category, education) and household incomes were relevant predictors. It is concluded that job insecurity affects both gender groups, but the conditions in which this perception grows are significantly impacted by gender inequality. These findings will allow for holistic and effective actions to decrease the effects of precarious work. 2020 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2020.526162 Frontiers in Public Health Frontiers in Public Health urn:issn:2296-2565 Frontiers in Public Health, 2020, vol. 8, p. 526162 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.526162/pdf Q2 doaj pubmed Reduced inequalities Gender equality Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Perceived precarious life: a SEM model for re-dimensioning of precarious work and its impact on mental health José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina María Luz Rivero-Díaz precarious employment mental health coping strategies social support hopelessness family economic status social inclusion and exclusion work-life integration well-being Introduction Precarious work is one of the most studied concepts related to work, and its effects have been analyzed in relation to variables such as mental health and wellbeing. However, there is a tendency to atomise the analysis of precarious work, without understanding that people's working life is intertwined with other areas of their life. Objective Faced with this situation, this paper presents the concept of perceived precarious life, which is aligned with contemporary models of social inclusion and exclusion. Thus, perceived precarious life comprises variables of labor precariousness, social support and hopelessness in the family economic situation. Methods To test this idea, a structural equation model (SEM) is presented, which tests the structure of the construct of perceived precarious life by relating it to mental health and coping strategies. Results After testing the fit of the model in both men and women, a SEM path analysis is designed between the variables, observing that perceived precarious life has an effect on mental health (β = 0.635, p < 0.01). This relationship is mediated by unproductive coping strategies (β = 0.142, p < 0.01). Conclusion This model exposes a broad and integrated conceptualization of precariousness, combining aspects of work, relationships and hopelessness, which allows for an understanding of the integral experience of precariousness. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1254843 Frontiers in Public Health Frontiers in Public Health urn:issn:2296-2565 Frontiers in Public Health, 2024, vol. 11, p. 1254843 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://public-pages-files-2025.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1254843/pdf Q1 doaj pubmed Good health and well-being Decent work and economic growth Reduced inequalities Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Family-Centered Model and mHealth Through Early Intervention in Rural Populations: A Quasi-Experimental Study Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas Yara Casáis-Suárez Sara Menéndez‐Espina Sergio Rodríguez Alba Fernández Méndez José Saborit mobile health early childhood intervention rural population neurodevelopmental disorders family quality of life child development social functioning BACKGROUND: Considering the challenges of Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), especially in rural areas with limited access to resources, it is essential to explore innovative strategies to address these barriers. Recent research highlights the use of mHealth to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of interventions. This study aims to evaluate the impact of mHealth interventions within the family-centered model on child development and familial quality of life, compared to the child-centered model. METHODS: This study employs a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test measures across two control groups (control group 1: child-centered model and control group 2: family-centered model) and one experimental group (family-centered model with mHealth). The sample consisted of 55 children (11 girls and 44 boys) aged 0 to 6 years old with neurodevelopmental disorders that resided in rural areas from June to September 2023. For the assessment of the family unit, an ad hoc sociodemographic questionnaire, the Family Quality of Life Scale, the Family Confidence Scale, and the Family Outcomes Scale were used. Children were evaluated using the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory and the Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Test. RESULTS: Results revealed significant differences between the experimental group (EG) and the control groups. The EG, which received mHealth-based interventions within the family-centered model, demonstrated the greatest improvements in variables related to family quality of life and the child's social functioning. CONCLUSIONS: mHealth appears to be a promising solution for improving access to early childhood intervention in rural areas, enhancing childhood development and a family's quality of life. Strong therapeutic relationships, supported by interdisciplinary and individualized approaches, are key to maximizing its impact. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/children12020212 Children Children urn:issn:2227-9067 Children, 2025, vol. 12, n. 2, p. 212 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://doi.org/10.3390/children12020212 Q1 doaj pubmed Good health and well-being Reduced inequalities Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Analysis of Determinant Factors and Mechanisms in Early Childhood Care Services: A Qualitative Study in the Asturian Context (Spain) Yara Casáis-Suárez José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina A. Fernández-Méndez José Saborit Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas early childhood care services urban-rural differences health disparities early childhood intervention health care access geographic isolation waiting time family support electronic health records spatial planning stakeholder perspectives Asturias Diverse realities challenge the management capacity of public and private systems to ensure equitable quality and efficient access to resources, in line with the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to close gaps in essential services and ensure quality of life. The reality in Spain, and more specifically in the Principality of Asturias, is that most resources are concentrated in urban areas rather than rural ones, partly due to the region’s geography. Background/Objectives: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of various stakeholders on the early childhood care system in the Principality of Asturias (Spain), with the purpose of analyzing the mechanisms and determinants involved in its functioning and identifying opportunities for improvement. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using the theoretical framework of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) as a conceptual basis. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 24 participants selected based on their relationship with early childhood care systems, encompassing different levels of responsibility and operational roles. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach, employing inductive and deductive coding to identify recurring patterns and code co-occurrences within ATLAS.ti software. Conclusions: This study reveals major barriers to equitable early childhood intervention (ECI) in rural areas, such as geographic isolation, lack of specialists, long waiting times, and poor transport. Six key themes emerged, including the need for standardized system management, better family support, and digital tools like centralized electronic health records. Rural areas are directly limited regarding their access to services, highlighting the need for fair territorial planning and a holistic, inclusive care model. Improving coordination, accessibility, and technology is vital. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/children12081079 Children Children urn:issn:2227-9067 Children, 2025, vol. 12, n. 8, p. 1079 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/12/8/1079/pdf?version=1755423092 Q1 doaj pubmed Reduced inequalities Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Application of Cooperative Learning and Its Relation to 3 × 2 Achievement Goals in Teachers José Saborit Sara Menéndez‐Espina David Méndez-Alonso Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas José Antonio Llosa Paloma Nistal Hernández cooperative learning achievement goals teacher motivation teacher professional development primary education classroom implementation enabling factors Cooperative learning has been shown to be a highly beneficial teaching methodology for student learning and motivation. It also has huge benefits for teaching, although there is still a widespread lack of knowledge on how to implement this highly structured series of techniques. In this study, teacher motivation was tested under the 3 × 2 achievement goal model to see how it relates to the application of CL in the classroom using sequential generalized estimating equation models. This theoretical model had not previously been applied to teacher motivation, and these teachers, from different educational stages and different schools, had received specific training in CL and had been monitored for one year. The results showed a high orientation towards self–approach goals, with the influence of having received such training, having more experience in applying CL and it being facilitated at the primary education stage. The implications of these results are discussed, as various facilitating factors for the use of CL in the classroom can be found. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci15050595 Education Sciences Education Sciences urn:issn:2227-7102 Education Sciences, 2025, vol. 15, n. 5, p. 595 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15/5/595/pdf?version=1747053103 Q1 doaj Quality education Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Evidence-Based Implementation of the Family-Centered Model and the Use of Tele-Intervention in Early Childhood Services: A Systematic Review Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas Yara Casáis-Suárez A. Fernández-Méndez Sara Menéndez‐Espina Sergio Rodriguez-Menendez José Antonio Llosa José Saborit family-centered care telepractice early childhood intervention early intervention services professional self-efficacy family empowerment quality of life contextual barriers BACKGROUND: The purpose of this review is to explore the evidence and efficacy of two trends in early childhood intervention services: the family-centered model and the use of tele-intervention. METHODS: A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA methodology and using three databases: Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus. The studies included were those aimed at children from 0 to 6 years of age, focused on early intervention, and which alluded to the family-centered model and/or tele-intervention. RESULTS: a total of 33 studies were included. Five main themes were identified: (1) The participation of children and family is facilitated and improved by the family-centered model of care; (2) the feeling of competence, self-efficacy, satisfaction and empowerment in professionals and families have a positive impact on quality of life; (3) the use of tele-intervention as a tool for prevention and intervention; (4) preparation for telepractice can improve the development of commitment; (5) tele-intervention as a possible solution to contextual barriers. CONCLUSIONS: Tele-intervention in pediatrics is presented as a tool inherent to the family-centered model since its implementation involves several common strategies. Future lines of research should explore the use of this tool as a possible solution to contextual barriers. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare12010112 Healthcare Healthcare urn:issn:2227-9032 Healthcare, 2024, vol. 12, n. 1, p. 112 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/12/1/112/pdf?version=1704261803 Q2 pubmed Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Self-Criticism in In-Work Poverty: The Mediating Role of Social Support in the Era of Flexibility José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina María Luz Rivero-Díaz Enrique Iglesias-Martínez in-work poverty self-criticism social support labour market flexibility mediation gender differences personal responsibility activation policy low-income workers In-work poverty reflects situations of income below the poverty threshold among employed people, involving a deterioration of wellbeing. The International Labour Organization prioritises this situation, which in countries such as Spain, Germany or Italy reaches rates of 11.8%, 10.6% and 11.8%, respectively. Within a context of flexibility, the occupational situation tends to be understood as an individual responsibility, which is why this study analyses the increase in self-criticism in these situations, and the role of social support in this relationship. The mediation of social support in the manifestation of self-criticism among people experiencing in-work poverty is analysed. The participants were 1430 employed people, grouped into those in a situation of poverty and those who are not. The results show that people in a situation of in-work poverty present a higher score in self-criticism and lower in social support. Social support is a mediating variable that prevents the manifestation of self-criticism. Lastly, a gender analysis shows that women experience this relationship more intensely. These findings enable a critical assessment of the activation policies that only take an individual approach. As an alternative, we propose strengthening interventions that foster social support, particularly among women. 2022 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19010609 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health urn:issn:1660-4601 urn:issn:1661-7827 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022, vol. 19, n. 1, p. 609 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1/609/pdf?version=1641392466 Q2 doaj pubmed No poverty Decent work and economic growth Reduced inequalities Gender equality Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Job Insecurity and Company Behavior: Influence of Fear of Job Loss on Individual and Work Environment Factors Remberto Castro Castañeda Esperanza Vargas Jiménez Sara Menéndez‐Espina Raúl Medina Centeno job insecurity fear of job loss quality of work life work-family balance job satisfaction professional development employee motivation employee well-being occupational health and safety work environment Mexican workers The purpose of this research is to analyze to what extent job insecurity is related to different factors related with quality of work life. Specifically, it refers to the individual (work-family balance, job satisfaction, labor and professional development, motivation at work, and well-being at work) and work environment (conditions and environment and safety and health at work) dimensions of the construct. The sample group consisted of 842 workers (375 men and 467 women), aged between 18 and 68 years, from Bahía de Banderas, Mexico. Pearson correlation coefficients between the different variables were carried out, as well as MANOVA and ANOVA analyses and a linear regression analysis. The results showed that workers with low job insecurity obtained higher scores in work-family balance, job satisfaction, labor and professional development, motivation at work, well-being at work, conditions and environment, and safety and health at work, in relation to workers with moderate and high insecurity. The regression analysis confirmed that individual factors explain 24% and environmental factors 15% of job insecurity. This article makes an approximation to the phenomenon of job insecurity in the Mexican context, where the relationship of this variable with quality of work life is verified. 2023 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20043586 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health urn:issn:1660-4601 urn:issn:1661-7827 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023, vol. 20, n. 4, p. 3586 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/4/3586/pdf?version=1676626570 Q2 pubmed Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal The Relationship Between the Motivational Style of Teachers and the Implementation of Cooperative Learning: A Self Determination Theory Approach Sara Menéndez‐Espina José Saborit David Méndez-Alonso Estíbaliz Jiménez Arberas José Antonio Llosa Paloma Nistal Hernández cooperative learning teacher motivation self-determination theory intrinsic motivation teacher professional development group work classroom teaching Cooperative learning (CL) is a methodological approach consisting of a series of techniques based on group work, where each member works together within the team to achieve a common goal. There is widespread evidence of its benefits for both students and teachers and it has been used successfully at various educational levels, from early childhood education to university studies. However, it is still used at a low percentage; therefore, it is of great interest to study the factors that favour its implementation by teachers. This study aims to study motivation, based on the theory of self-determination, and its relationship with the use of CL in the classroom. A sample of 279 teachers (122 male and 157 female) who had previously received specific training in the use and application of CL was used. The results show a positive relationship between intrinsic regulation towards school tasks and the application of CL in the classroom (p = 0.029). These results have important implications for understanding the factors that lead teachers to maintain CL and how this methodology also improves their teaching. 2025 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.3390/su17083673 Sustainability Sustainability urn:issn:2071-1050 Sustainability, 2025, vol. 17, n. 8, p. 3673 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/8/3673/pdf?version=1744969559 Q1 Quality education Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Incertidumbre Laboral, Salud Mental y Apoyo Social en trabajadores pobres José Antonio Llosa Esteban Agulló Tomás Sara Menéndez‐Espina Julio Rodríguez Suárez Joan Boada‐Grau working poor mental health social support unemployment well-being value of work social inclusion identity construction Mediterranean countries Los trabajadores pobres son aquellos que, incluso trabajando, no logran salir de los umbrales de riesgo de pobreza marcados por organismos internacionales. Representa una situación creciente en Europa, especialmente relevante en los países mediterráneos, aunque con escasa literatura científica todavía en el contexto europeo, y particularmente en el español. Este estudio analiza el bienestar y la salud mental en una muestra de 1.541 personas (trabajadores pobres, trabajadores fuera del riesgo de pobreza y en desempleo). Los resultados muestran que el estado de salud mental de los trabajadores pobres es equiparable al de personas en situación de desempleo, y siempre peor que el de los trabajadores fuera del riesgo de pobreza. Ello obliga a reevaluar el valor del trabajo a todos los niveles: como garantía de bienestar y salud mental, como herramienta principal de inclusión social; como vía para conformar la identidad, y también como fuente de apoyo social. 2020 es info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/athenea.2178 Athenea Digital.

In order to analyse the consequences of job insecurity on mental health, a reference document is provided including the empirical research advances in the current framework. This systematic review follows a meta-analytical technique through 56 independent samples with 53,405 participants in total. The analysis offers a significant correlation between subjective job insecurity and mental health. Thus, it has been found that job insecurity is related to the risk or presence of depression, anxiety and emotional exhaustion, as well as to general low satisfaction with life, international comparisons are made, and negative results among workers regardless of the economic situation of the countries are highlighted, too. Moreover, methodological and conceptual contributions have been made in terms of the quality of the metrics applied. Job insecurity appears as a major problem for workers’ mental health, generating devastating effects on all kind of professional profiles and economic contexts. 2018 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.6018/analesps.34.2.281651 Anales de Psicología Anales de Psicología urn:issn:0212-9728 urn:issn:1695-2294 Anales de Psicología, 2018, vol. 34, n. 2, p. 211 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by-sa https://revistas.um.es/analesps/article/download/analesps.34.2.281651/227351 Q3 doaj Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Spanish validation of the job insecurity scale JIS-8: Viability of the cognitive and affective model,Validación española de la escala de incertidumbre laboral JIS-8: Viabilidad del modelo afectivo y cognitivo José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina Julio Rodríguez Suárez Esteban Agulló Tomás Joan Boada‐Grau job insecurity Spanish adaptation mental health job satisfaction psychometric validation BACKGROUND: This instrumental study is the Spanish adaptation and validation of the Job Insecurity Scale in its 8-item version (JIS-8). This is one of the reference tests in this field and it also allows the distinction between affect and cognition in quantitative job insecurity to be tested. METHOD: The JIS-8 was carried out on a Spanish sample with 592 participants (186 men, 406 women; Mean age = 36.68), together with mental health and job satisfaction tests. An exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out, and the relationship between the scale and other variables was examined. RESULTS: The Spanish validation shows good construct validity, internal consistency and a Cronbach a = .88, higher than the value obtained in the validation of the original instrument. The analysis shows the consequences of job insecurity on workers’ mental health, as well as on their job satisfaction. The exploratory factor analysis as well as the confirmatory analysis, in which a one-dimensional and a two-dimensional model were tested, maintain the presence of two factors: the cognitive and the affective dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: The results underpin the fact that the test is appropriate for application to people in active employment in the Spanish population. 2017 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.7334/psicothema2017.59 Psicothema Psicothema urn:issn:0214-9915 urn:issn:1886-144X Psicothema, 2017, vol. 4, n. 29, p. 577-583 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess https://doi.org/10.7334/psicothema2017.59 Q2 doaj pubmed Decent work and economic growth Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal La dinámica de la exclusión social en España tras dos décadas de erosión: crisis reiterada y recuperación insuficiente Auxiliadora González Portillo Miguel Laparra Navarro Esteban Agulló-Tomás Miguel Ángel Alegre Canosa Amaia Azcona Martínez Paula Baña Aller María Antonia Carbonero Gamundí Paola Damonti Begoña Elizalde-San Miguel Ángel García García José Ramón González Parada Diego Isabel La Moneda Germán Jaraíz Arroyo Irene Lapuerta Méndez José Antonio Llosa Carmen Márquez Martínez Sordoni, Laureano, ed. lit.

Esto implica, para la intervención social, potenciar, en paralelo a las intervenciones individuales/familiares, toda una estrategia de acción comunitaria con capacidad para transformar el contexto social en el que se desenvuelven las personas afectadas por procesos de exclusión social. Y también nos apunta, en el plano político e institucional, a la necesidad de reformas ambiciosas con capacidad de transformar las dinámicas sociales en su conjunto y, en concreto, los derechos y las oportunidades que estas personas van a tener en su día a día. 2025 es info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart book-chapter cris:cris-0865390c Academica-e (Universidad Pública de Navarra) Academica-e (Universidad Pública de Navarra) Academica-e (Universidad Pública de Navarra), 2025 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess https://academica-e.unavarra.es/bitstreams/a43938e6-30a1-4461-8a10-388958f32b67/download Reduced inequalities Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Mujeres e inclusión social: Investigación y estrategias de innovación y transformación social Esteban Agulló Tomás José Antonio Llosa Sara Menéndez‐Espina Elena Rúa Arruñada Loreto Ventosa Varona women social inclusion social innovation social change gender equality 2020 es info:eu-repo/semantics/book book cris:cris-091b57a5 Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja), 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess closedAccess Reduced inequalities Gender equality Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Incertidumbre laboral y perspectiva de género: antecedentes, implicaciones e intervención Sara Menéndez‐Espina job insecurity precarious employment gender perspective gender inequality in employment coping strategies social support mental health fear of job loss temporary employment part-time work wage cuts moderating effect women's employment sociodemographic predictors occupational groups household income professional training job tenure psychological stressors gender bias in research Antecedentes: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio de la precariedad laboral desde una perspectiva psicologica, por medio del concepto de incertidumbre laboral, un tipo de estresor que hace referencia al miedo a la perdida del empleo. Tambien se aplica el enfoque de genero para obtener un conocimiento mas profundo y sensible a la realidad de este objeto de estudio. Para ello, se hace previamente un recorrido por el panorama social y economico que ha generado un mercado laboral marcado por la precariedad y en el que se presentan importantes desigualdades de genero. Se adopta el enfoque de genero para estudiar las condiciones que generan incertidumbre laboral, asi como las estrategias de afrontamiento que amortiguan las consecuencias de este estresor en la salud mental. Metodo: En un inicio, se expone que es el enfoque de genero y como realizar investigaciones ausentes de sesgos en este aspecto. Despues, se realizan dos tipos de estudios empiricos. El primero es un analisis predictivo de las condiciones laborales y sociodemograficas que anticipan el desarrollo de incertidumbre laboral en mujeres y en hombres. Posteriormente, se analiza el papel moderador de ocho estrategias de afrontamiento en la relacion entre la incertidumbre laboral y la salud mental, tanto en hombres como en mujeres. Se utiliza una muestra de 1.008 sujetos, 420 hombres y 588 mujeres, residentes en Espana y que se encuentran trabajando. Resultados: Los resultados del primer estudio muestran que las mujeres perciben mayor incertidumbre bajo condiciones laborales precarias (temporalidad, parcialidad, reducciones salariales, tiempo en la empresa), mientras que en varones se suman variables relacionadas con la carrera profesional (categoria laboral, formacion) y los ingresos del hogar. Los resultados del segundo estudio indican que las estrategias de afrontamiento que impliquen emplear el apoyo social que puedan prestar los demas son las que mas relevancia tienen como mediadores en las consecuencias de la incertidumbre laboral en la salud mental. Conclusion: Aunque hombres y mujeres tienen, en general, unos niveles similares de incertidumbre laboral, la desigualdad de genero dentro y fuera del mundo laboral afecta a la vivencia de esa incertidumbre. Se necesita implantar medidas contra la precariedad laboral y los contratos que no garantizan la seguridad. Se debe hacer desde un enfoque de genero que no discrimine a las mujeres, asi como a otros grupos sociales en desventaja. Por ello, se realiza una serie se de recomendaciones de intervencion desde los diferentes niveles desde los que se puede actuar. 2018 es info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis dissertation cris:cris-0a928526 Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja), 2018 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess closedAccess Decent work and economic growth Reduced inequalities Gender equality Good health and well-being Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal La perspectiva de género en los estudios sociales y académicos: ¿hemos construido un conocimiento sesgado y ciego a las mujeres?

En este marco, la idea que la literatura ha venido manejando es la de la psicologización de los procesos laborales, como crítica a la explicación de procesos colectivos solo en base a términos individuales. A lo largo de este estudio se muestra cómo esta tendencia individualista arropada por un discurso científico propio de ciencias psi- es origen de problemáticas para el individuo. Así, se propone el término de psicopatologización del mundo laboral como última consecuencia de este proceso: sin seguridad y sin procesos colectivos, el trabajo se ordena en relaciones desiguales e incontrolables para los trabajadores. Con estas reglas, el conflicto laboral colectivo se comienza a comprender como una patología individual aislada. El objetivo de este artículo es plantear el camino inverso deconstruyendo las relaciones laborales actuales bajo la mirada de la Psicología Social. Se vuelve a llegar al punto de partida: lograr reconocer lo laboral como un proceso relacional y colectivo, donde el conflicto es una parte sustancial y no patología. 2019 es info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article cris:cris-64f16ce6-d68d DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), 2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by-sa https://doaj.org/article/3adbfaf36e6749f39c1eccd8f85ebe4a doaj Decent work and economic growth Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal La conciliación laboral de mujeres trabajadoras.

This article reflects on two interactive elements: firstly, the contributions, implications, and impacts that Work psychosociology, as a field of psychosociology, has had and continues to have on the described labor and social dynamics. Secondly, it situates universal basic income as a subject of study in social psychology, assuming that this policy has the potential to radically transform the person-world relationship, thereby questioning the current labor system. In this context, universal basic income emerges as a fundamental subject of study in psychosociology, providing new prisms of analysis within the discipline. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article cris:cris-eb800ac4-198d Consultation of the Doctoral Thesis Database (TESEO) (Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte) Consultation of the Doctoral Thesis Database (TESEO) (Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte) Consultation of the Doctoral Thesis Database (TESEO) (Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte), 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=9240871 Decent work and economic growth Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal Nuevos retos laborales en los trabajadores/as jóvenes: formación académica e incertidumbre laboral en menores de 30 años Héctor Félix Lasheras-Díez Sara Menéndez‐Espina José Antonio Llosa Julio Rodríguez Suárez Esteban Agulló Tomás Sáiz Villar, Rosana job insecurity youth employment educational attainment academic degrees fear of job loss precarious employment youth unemployment young workers La realidad de los jóvenes europeos viene marcada de forma significativa por fenómenos como la precariedad laboral o el desempleo. Ante este escenario, se llevó a cabo un estudio psicosocial de la situación laboral de los jóvenes a través del análisis de la incertidumbre laboral (job insecurity), definida como el miedo a la pérdida del empleo, un fenómeno ampliamente estudiado en la literatura científica europea. Con una muestra de 967 trabajadores, se observó la relación entre la incertidumbre laboral y el nivel formativo tanto en jóvenes (entre 16 y 29 años) como en personas mayores de 30 años. Los resultados mostraron que los jóvenes con un nivel formativo universitario presentaban mayor incertidumbre laboral o miedo a perder el trabajo, mientras que en las personas de 30 años o más este fenómeno no dependía del nivel de estudios. Se discutieron las implicaciones que conllevan estos resultados, así como la necesidad de poner en marcha una nueva línea de investigación centrada en juventud y otros grupos discriminados dentro de este campo, subrayando la importancia de hacerlo desde un enfoque multidisciplinar e integral. 2018 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article cris:cris-ef025145-d5f3 Encrucijadas Encrucijadas urn:issn:2174-6753 urn:issn:2174-7148 Encrucijadas, 2018 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by-nc https://recyt.fecyt.es/index.php/encrucijadas/article/download/79138/49043 doaj Decent work and economic growth Quality education Instituto Universitario de Investigación Padre Ossó https://www.facultadpadreosso.es/investigacion/portal
