Psychometric Properties of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for Use in Digital Perinatal Mental Health Research
Background The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most frequently used paper‐and‐pencil instrument for assessing perinatal depression in digital perinatal mental health research. However, the psychometric properties of the EPDS to be used in this context need to be established, and more evidence is needed regarding its internal factorial structure. Objective To examine the psychometric properties of the EPDS for its use in digital…
Menstrual health and health-related quality of life in Spain
INTRODUCTION: Menstrual health plays a crucial role in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there is a gap addressing HRQoL in relation to broader aspects of menstrual health definition. This study aims to analyse the relationship between menstrual health and self-reported health-related quality of life in women and people who menstruate (PWM) ≥ 18 years in five regions of Spain (Andalusia, Basque Country, Canary Islands, Catalonia, a…
Effectiveness of psychotherapy
The scientific output generated in psychology has surged in recent decades, including the number of studies investigating psychological treatments. To keep track of all this evidence, we developed the "Metapsy" meta-analytic research domain: a comprehensive system of open databases and tailored software that allows for rapid evidence generation. We leverage this novel infrastructure to summarize the effect of psychological treatment across 12 men…
Examining the influence of mental health and structural determinants of health on the stage of motivational readiness for health behaviour changes
This study explores the influence of mental health and structural determinants of health on motivational readiness for health behaviour change in 1462 Spanish primary healthcare users. Chi-square test and structural equation modelling were performed. Results showed that depression and anxiety were negatively associated with being in the action stages of motivational readiness for a healthy diet and physical activity. This association was statisti…
Exploring personal aptitudes and personality traits that, together with social determinants, shape health behaviors and conduct
Introduction: Effective implementation of strategies to promote health and prevent noncommunicable illnesses requires a profound understanding of the interaction between the individual and society. This study brings to health research the consideration of psychosocial factors that influence the maintenance and change of health behaviors and conduct. From a primary care perspective, it is crucial to propose a biopsychosocial approach for the devel…
The role of infertility-related stress and sexist beliefs in anxiety symptoms in infertility couples
It is necessary to continue identifying the predictors of anxiety symptoms in men and women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially from a psychosocial perspective. For this reason, this study evaluated a mediation model that demonstrates the effect of various stressors related to infertility, as well as the variables of sex, age, social support, and sexist beliefs, on anxiety symptoms. The sample of this cross-sectional stu…
Role of personal aptitudes as determinants of incident morbidity, lifestyles, quality of life, use of health services, and mortality (Desvela cohort)
Introduction The healthcare and well-being of the population depend on multiple factors and should adapt to societal changes. The opposite is also occurring; society has evolved concerning the individuals’ approach to their care, which includes participation in decision-making processes. In this scenario, health promotion and prevention become crucial to provide an integrated perspective in the organization and management of the health systems. H…
Role of personal aptitudes as determinants of incident morbidity, lifestyles, quality of life, use of the health services and mortality (Desvela cohort)
Introduction: Maintaining or acquiring healthier health-oriented behaviours and promoting physical and mental health amongst the Spanish population is a significant challenge for Primary Health Care. Although the role of personal aptitudes (characteristics of each individual) in influencing health behaviours is not yet clear, these factors, in conjunction with social determinants such as gender and social class, can create axes of social inequity…
The influence of lifestyles to cope with stress over mental health in pregnant and postpartum women during the Covid-19 pandemic
The socio-demographic profile associated with perinatal depression during the Covid-19 era
This study highlights the relevance of sociodemographic status. It is essential to be aware of the risk factors of perinatal depression, to make adequate prevention, and to create health policies to alleviate the consequences of the pandemic
Effectiveness of a multiple health-behaviour-change intervention in increasing adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in adults (Eira study)

Effectiveness of a Multicomponent Intervention in Primary Care That Addresses Patients with Diabetes Mellitus with Two or More Unhealthy Habits, Such as Diet, Physical Activity or Smoking
Introduction: We evaluated the effectiveness of an individual, group and community intervention to improve the glycemic control of patients with diabetes mellitus aged 45-75 years with two or three unhealthy life habits. As secondary endpoints, we evaluated the inverventions' effectiveness on adhering to Mediterranean diet, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and quality of life. Method: A randomized clinical cluster (health centers) …
Implementation of the Eira 3 Intervention by Targeting Primary Health Care Practitioners
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that physical inactivity (PI) is responsible for 20 to 30% of all non-communicable diseases. We aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a multiple health behavior change (MHBC) intervention to increase physical activity (PA) in patients 45 to 75 years old who had at least 2 of 3 unhealthy behaviors (tobacco use, reduced fruit and vegetable consumption, and insufficient PA). The MHBC intervention is base…

The Impact of Socio-Economic Status on Self-Rated Health
Studies show that the association between socio-economic status (SES) and self-rated health (SRH) varies in different countries, however there are not many country-comparisons that examine this relationship over time. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of three SES measures on SRH in 29 countries according to findings in European Social Surveys (2002-2008), in order to study how socio-economic inequalities can vary our …
Psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition in a longitudinal study of major depression in primary care
BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the psychosocial factors associated with attrition in longitudinal surveys. This study was undertaken to determine psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition from a longitudinal study of the onset and persistence of episodes of major depression in primary care. METHODS: A systematic random sample of general practice attendees was recruited in seven Spanish provinces between October 2005 and February 20…
Predicting the onset and persistence of episodes of depression in primary health care. The predictD-Spain study
The items and questionnaires were reliable and data quality control was excellent. When we eventually obtain our risk index for the onset and persistence of depression, we will be able to determine the individual risk of each patient evaluated in primary health care
