    Adaptation of a mobile app for early anxiety and depression intervention in university students in Chile: participatory study
    (2023) Lira, Daniela; Caviedes, Patricio; Martínez, Vania
    The high prevalence of mental health problems among university students poses a challenge when developing effective interventions, with digital technologies emerging as a potential resource to address this problem. The inclusion of student input in the design and development of such interventions is critical to improving their impact. This study contributed to the initial phase of a research project that aims to adapt and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an early intervention for anxiety and depression based on digital technologies for university students. Three participatory workshops were conducted with 13 university students in Chile to inquire about the features and content that a mental health mobile app should include to meet their needs and preferences. The workshop transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. The results of this study highlight the value of modifications such as the personalisation of some features of the app. The students recommended incorporating topics related to university life and the possibility of contacting a mental health professional, as well as the inclusion of peer interaction or other forms of support.

    Dialogía intergeneracional en la construcción de memorias acerca de la dictadura militar chilena
    (2015) Reyes Andreani, Maria Jose; Cornejo Cancino, Marcela; Cruz Contreras, Maria Angelica; Carrillo, Constanza; Caviedes, Patricio
    The transmission of memories about political violence is a pressing need in societies which have experienced authoritarian rule. The article focuses on this issue in the context of the Chilean military dictatorship (1973-1990) and the memory currently being constructed about it, forty years after the coup. From a dialogic perspective, the text analyzes the type of relationship established between generations when they think back about the military dictatorship. Six discussion groups were set up, with a total of 48 participants selected according to their a) age group, b) political stance, c) socioeconomic level, and d) territory. The discursive analysis reveals the establishment of three generations -protagonist of the past, protagonist of the present, and a gray area- whose members, when recalling the dictatorship, use debate as their dialogic form without truly questioning the contents employed to construct versions of this past in their conversations.
