- ItemEmotion Regulation Can Build Resources: How Amplifying Positive Emotions Is Beneficial for Employees and Organizations(SPRINGER, 2023) Lapalme, Matthew L.; Rojas-Quiroga, Felipe; Pertuze Salas Julio Alberto; Espinoza, Pilar; Rojas-Cordova, Carolina; Ananias, Juan FelipePrior research has framed emotion regulation as resource-depleting and has primarily focused on strategies that avoid feelings. In this paper, we present an alternative view that emotion regulation can generate resources, and we investigate amplification of positive emotions, a potential resource-generating strategy. In study 1, using a field design, we demonstrate that amplification of positive emotion is positively related to employee psychological resources. Furthermore, we show that amplification of positive emotion may reduce absenteeism. In study 2, using a longitudinal lab design, we demonstrate that amplification of positive emotions predicts changes in employee psychological resources over time and does so above and beyond positive affect. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings for emotion researchers, the practical applications of our findings for managers, and areas that require future research.

- Item¿Qué información preoperatoria desean los padres de niños que serán operados?(2015) Sartori, Josefina; Espinoza, Pilar; Díaz, María Soledad; Ferdinand Olivares, Constanza; Lacassie Quiroga, Héctor; González Arellano, AlejandroIntroducción: Los padres sienten miedo y ansiedad antes de la cirugía de un hijo(a), lo que dificulta su preparación para la cirugía. Estos sentimientos podrían ser aliviados con adecuada información preoperatoria. Objetivo: Determinar las necesidades de información preoperatoria de los padres de niños que serán operados electivamente. Pacientes y método: Se encuestó a padres de pacientes pediátricos sometidos a cirugía electiva. Se registraron variables demográficas de los padres. Se evaluó la información preoperatoria que recibieron o desearían haber recibido en cuanto a contenidos, medios, oportunidad, lugar e informante. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva. Resultados: Ciento trece padres fueron encuestados, y más del 80% de ellos desea recibir información preoperatoria sobre la anestesia, la cirugía, el ayuno previo, los medicamentos y las complicaciones anestésicas, la monitorización, el manejo de la vía venosa, el manejo del dolor, la alimentación postoperatoria, el control de ansiedad, la sala de hospitalización y la de recuperación, y la entretención en recuperación. La mayoría desea ser informado verbalmente, 1 a 2 semanas antes y no el día de la cirugía; que el informante sea el cirujano en su consulta. Además, desean información a través de folletos, vídeos o talleres de simulación. Conclusiones: Los padres necesitan información preoperatoria completa de la anestesia, la cirugía y los cuidados postoperatorios, entregada verbalmente y en forma anticipada.
- ItemSafety and Non-Inferiority Evaluation of Two Immunization Schedules with an Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial(MDPI, 2022) Abarca Villaseca, Katia; Iturriaga Ortiz, Carolina Alejandra; Urzua, Marcela; Le Corre Perez, Monique Nicole; Pineda Núñez, Augusto Naim; Fernandez Anwandter, Carolina; Domínguez De Landa, María Angelica; González Carbonell, Pablo Andrés; Bueno, Susan M.; Donato, Paulina; Espinoza, Pilar; Fuentes, Daniela; Gonzalez, Marcela; Guzman, Paula; Munoz-Venturelli, Paula; Perez, Carlos M.; Potin, Marcela; Rojas, Alvaro; Gonzalez-Aramundiz, Jose, V; Galvez, Nicolas M. S.; Aguirre-Boza, Francisca; Aljaro, Sofia; Federico Batiz, Luis; Campisto, Yessica; Cepeda, Mariela; Cortes, Aaron; Lopez, Sofia; Loreto Perez, Maria; Schilling, Andrea; Kalergis, Alexis M.Several vaccines have been developed to control the COVID-19 pandemic. CoronaVac (R), an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, has demonstrated safety and immunogenicity, preventing severe COVID-19 cases. We investigate the safety and non-inferiority of two immunization schedules of CoronaVac (R) in a non-inferiority trial in healthy adults. A total of 2302 healthy adults were enrolled at 8 centers in Chile and randomly assigned to two vaccination schedules, receiving two doses with either 14 or 28 days between each. The primary safety and efficacy endpoints were solicited adverse events (AEs) within 7 days of each dose, and comparing the number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection 14 days after the second dose between the schedules, respectively. The most frequent local AE was pain at the injection site, which was less frequent in participants aged >= 60 years. Other local AEs were reported in less than 5% of participants. The most frequent systemic AEs were headache, fatigue, and myalgia. Most AEs were mild and transient. There were no significant differences for local and systemic AEs between schedules. A total of 58 COVID-19 cases were confirmed, and all but 2 of them were mild. No differences were observed in the proportion of COVID-19 cases between schedules. CoronaVac (R) is safe, especially in >= 60-year-old participants. Both schedules protected against COVID-19 hospitalization.
