Publicación Comprendiendo las implicaciones del trabajo sexual en la salud sexual y reproductiva de las trabajadoras sexuales de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Maya Navarrete, Lucía; Pérez Echeverri, Alejandra; Zuluaga Aristizábal, Marda UcarisThis qualitative study aimed to understand the impact of sexual and reproductive health on cisgender female sex workers in Medellín. Seven participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews, and their narratives were analyzed thematically. Findings revealed unequal health knowledge, limited access to services, and strong social stigma. Most participants relied on personal experience for self-care and lacked institutional support. Emotional ties were focused on children, with minimal external support networks. Perceptions of sex work varied, ranging from empowerment to emotional burden. The study highlights the need for inclusive public policies and context-sensitive health strategiesPublicación Abandonados por sus padres, acogidos por las drogas(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Villa Parra, Andrés Felipe; Orejuela Gómez, Johnny JavierPublicación Vivencia subjetiva de la masculinidad y su impacto en la salud mental en un grupo de hombres de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Parra Díez, Ana María; Peralta Orellana, Mariana; Carmona Otálvaro, Juan GabrielMasculinity permeates men's lives and has a substantial impact on their experiences. However, hegemonic masculinity has continuously determined and conditioned men's behaviors and expressions, constructing an ideal of the “masculine man” who rejects the expression of emotions and feelings and discourages and stigmatizes them when they seek help. The social pressure and behavioral expectations imposed on men create an unhealthy construct in which they are expected to ignore their own needs in order to fit the mold of the stronger sex or, as Connell (1995) describes it, a real man. Through a phenomenological case design, this research seeks to explore, describe, and understand the experiences of a group of men concerning the subjective experience of their masculinity and its influence on their mental health. In other words, to give voice and space to diverse experiences of “what it means to be a man.”Publicación La influencia de las exigencias estéticas del ballet clásico en el desarrollo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en bailarinas de ballet clásico de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Puerta Villegas, Juanita; Díez, Paula AndreaThis qualitative study explores how the demands of classical ballet might influence the development of eating disorders (ED) among classical ballet dancers in Medellín, Colombia. Findings suggest that many dancers experience restrictive eating patterns and a deep internalization of ballet’s aesthetic ideals, potentially leading to ongoing concerns about their weight and physical appearance. Although no clinical diagnoses of ED were identified, behavioral patterns observed may increase the risk of developing such conditions. This study highlights the need for psychological interventions in Ballet academies to improve dancers' body image and relationship with food, and it suggests a reevaluation of aesthetic standards in Ballet to promote healthier practices.Publicación Ansiedad social en estudiantes de psicología de la Universidad EAFIT : promedios, manifestaciones y factores de riesgo(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) De Greiff Londoño, Eloísa; Vásquez, AndrésSocial anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most common disorders in adolescents and young adults, and it impairs social interactions and the daily functioning of those who suffer from it. This study explored the prevalence, manifestations, and risk factors of this disorder in 65 first- and second-semester undergraduate students in Psychology at EAFIT University in Medellín, Colombia, between January and April 2025. A non-experimental quantitative questionnaire with scales ranging from 0 to 4 was used to measure anxiety and avoidance levels in contexts of daily interaction, social performance, and intimate and evaluative interactions, as well as students' emotional well-being and academic performance. The results showed that social anxiety levels among the surveyed students increased in public performance situations, up to 14%, and that approximately 80% had social skills and support networks that could mitigate SAD, which impacted their emotional well-being and academic performance.Publicación Dinámicas de poder criminal y resocialización en personas privadas de la libertad en Colombia revisión : entre 2015 y 2025(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Pérez Múnera, Isabela; Manrique Tisnés, HoracioObjective: To review what has been documented about the influence of power dynamics among incarcerated individuals on the process of prison resocialization in Colombia, with an emphasis on the psychological effects within Colombian penitentiary institutions, based on articles published between 2015 and 2025. Method: A qualitative systematic literature review was conducted, focusing on articles that examine the interaction between internal power dynamics and resocialization programs in Colombian penitentiary institutions, as well as the psychological effects of these interactions. Only full-text articles available in Spanish and English were included. Results: The qualitative systematic review revealed that affiliation with criminal groups in prison hinders participation in resocialization programs and perpetuates a criminal culture. These power dynamics have psychological impacts on inmates, generating stress, anxiety, and reinforcement of criminal identity. Furthermore, a lack of clear state strategies addressing the psychosocial effects of these dynamics was identified, reflecting a punitive approach that limits the effectiveness of resocialization in the Colombian prison system. Conclusion: Resocialization in Colombian prisons is hindered by power dynamics among inmates, institutional shortcomings, and the absence of context-specific interventions, which perpetuates criminal behavior rather than transforming it.Publicación Representaciones sociales del transporte público en Bello Oriente : malestar urbano, exclusión y salud mental(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Royo Diaz, Sebastián; Guiral Quinchia, Julián AndrésThis article presents a preliminary analysis of the social representations on public transportation in the Bello Oriente neighborhood (Medellin), identifying factors of psychological discomfort, inequalities in access, long travel times, as well as perceptions differentiated by gender and age. These results allow us to understand possible relationships between public transportation and how it impacts the quality of life in contexts of social exclusion, as well as to raise awareness of these problems, and to promote future interventions.Publicación Los efectos de las cargas laborales en la salud mental de los trabajadores en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Marín Zapata, Simón Jairo; Villamizar Reyes, Milena MargaritaThe main focus of this study is to present the current state of research on workload and the possible effects on mental health of workers in Colombia based on psychosocial risk factors in organizations and their main consequences. For this purpose, a balance of the studies found related to the subject will be made from the following categories: General purpose of the research, key words, types of studies, main results.Publicación Factores contribuyentes en el desarrollo de liderazgos femeninos relacionados con contextos de vulnerabilidad en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Algarín David, Gabriela Alejandra; Lemos Hoyos, MariantoniaPublicación Actitudes y conocimientos de los psicólogos en formación frente a los psicodélicos en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Restrepo Arias, Manuel; Cuartas Arias, Jorge MauricioPublicación Detrás del juego : explorando la experiencia psicológica de parejas sentimentales de personas ludópatas(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Blanco Aljuri, Johanna Marcela; Manrique Tisnes, HoracioPublicación Ansiedad existencial en testigos visuales de suicidio en las ciudades de Medellín y Pereira(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Toro Álvarez, Kelly; Carmona Otálvaro, Juan GabrielPublicación Patrones de conducta en adicciones comportamentales : un estudio sobre las problemáticas asociadas a las adicciones no químicas(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Botero Jaramillo , Camila; Cuartas Arias, Jorge MauricioPublicación Comparación de los estilos de afrontamiento en graduados de colegios Waldorf y tradicionales en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Hernández Guarín, Isabela; Vásquez Ochoa, Andrés MiguelPublicación ¿Qué están promoviendo realmente los influencers? : impacto del contenido fitness en las conductas alimentarias en mujeres jóvenes(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Esmeral Gómez, Camila Andrea; Córdoba Sánchez, VerónicaCurrently, social media has become an easily accessible space for a variety of content, with the largest audience being young people, who may be more vulnerable to risk factors such as changes in behavior based on what is promoted on social media. The aim of this research was to analyze the impact of fitness content promoted by influencers on social media on the eating behavior of young women residing in municipalities in the Valle de Aburrá. A qualitative approach was used with a multiple case study, in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with five participants, all 21 years old. The findings revealed that exposure to unattainable and distant beauty standards negatively impacts the participants' self-schemas, fostering a negative perception of self image, body dissatisfaction, constant feelings of guilt, and disordered eating behaviors. It was emphasized that many of the issues resulting from exposure to fitness content include the internalization of unrealistic beauty standards, extreme and risky diets, and alterations in emotional well-being. Constant comparison with the influencers they follow on social media leads to frustration, possible binge eating, harmful eating practices, and the normalization of feelings of guilt when consuming foods considered unhealthy.Publicación Relación entre rasgos de personalidad del usuario de psicoterapia y características de adherencia y eficacia en algunos modelos psicoterapéuticos(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Cuartas Colorado, Estefanía; Carmona Otálvaro, Juan GabrielThere are many more psychotherapy models than most people can experience in their lifetimes, each with postulates, intervention methods, and techniques that can differ dramatically. Certain models are especially effective for the intervention of specific issues, and some factors are known to influence procedural persistence and therapeutic success. However, it is unknown if the users' personality traits can mediate the adherence and effectiveness of a psychotherapy model. In this regard, the present research aims to determine the relationship between the personality traits of psychotherapy users who live in Antioquia and the psychotherapy model where they feel more affinity regarding adherence and effectiveness. The above is done through a non-experimental, phenomenological, cross-sectional design, with a qualitative approach and an essentially descriptive scope, applied to a sample of adult psychotherapy users who have experienced at least one therapy process consisting of at least five sessions. In conclusion, the interaction between user and therapist impacts the adherence and effectiveness of psychotherapy more than the relationship between personality traits and the technicalities surrounding the distinction between the models.Publicación Procesos de ajuste en los impactos psicológicos en pacientes mayores de 50 años con Colostomía no permanente en la ciudad de Pereira(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Gómez Franco, Valentina; Carmona Otálvaro, Juan GabrielPublicación Efectos de la terapia de constelaciones familiares en la salud mental : una revisión sistemática de la literatura entre 2009 y 2024(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Robayo Campo, Karina Giuliana; Manrique Tisnés, HoracioThe present work aims to explore the influence of family constellations on mental health, analyzing their effects on emotional, psychological and social well-being from a qualitative review approach. A review of qualitative, quantitative and mixed research published between January 2009 and August 2024 was conducted. Although certain potential benefits in the emotional, psychological and social domains are identified, it is not possible to conclude clearly on their effectiveness due to important methodological gaps in the reviewed studies. Further research is essential in order to determine the validity of family constellation therapy either as a possible complementary tool in psychotherapeutic accompaniment or as an enriching personal experience, without associating it with the clinical setting. For future research, there is a wide spectrum of possibilities that include exploring the causes behind the benefits observed in this therapy, the implementation of more rigorous methodologies and the realization of why benefits are found in this therapy, more rigorous methodologies and longitudinal follow-ups.Publicación Experiencias subjetivas del proceso creativo para crear platos de comidas rápidas desde la perspectiva de un grupo de chefs del Valle de Aburrá (Colombia)(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Sierra Arcila, José Manuel; Villamizar Reyes, Milena MargaritaPublicación Influencia que tiene el uso de redes sociales en mujeres estudiantes de la universidad EAFIT sobre su autoconcepto en el año 2025(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Grajales Piedrahita, Isabella; Cardona Díez, Paula AndreaObjective: To explore the possible influence that the use of social media has on the self concept of female students at Universidad EAFIT in the year 2025 Method: This research employed a qualitative approach using the phenomenological method. Eight semi structured interviews were conducted to understand the participants' subjective experiences in relation to the research objective. The analysis was organized around the categories of social media and self-concept. Results: The findings indicate that social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok not only serve communicative purposes, but also shape personal interests, behaviors, and perceptions. A strong presence of idealized images was identified, which generates social comparison processes that directly impact the physical, social, and academic dimensions of self-concept. Conclusions: Social media plays an active role in shaping young women's self-concept. While it generates physical, social, and professional comparisons and feelings of discomfort, there is also a motivation to set personal boundaries and engage in a more conscious consumption of platform content.
