In the contexts where people with intellectual disability work, there are factors that determine their job satisfaction. The objective of this study was to test the adequacy of the central assumptions of the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) theory in workers with intellectual disability employed in different work alternatives. Data from 362 workers in sheltered workshops and 192 workers in supported employment were utilized. The model was contrasted using a structural equation model and a multi-group analysis. The results supported the suitability of the model and confirmed that job demands and job resources evoke two relatively independent processes such as health impairment and motivational process. The multi-group analysis confirmed the invariance of the model between the two work alternatives. Thus, the JD-R model offers a useful framework to explain the job satisfaction of workers with intellectual disability. Implications for the improvement of personal and job results are discussed.

El objetivo del trabajo es describir las principales políticas en materia de drogas en Argentina y establecer articulaciones entre las mismas, los procesos de estigma social y la accesibilidad de drogadependientes a los servicios de salud. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y documental. Una determinada política, produce operaciones que se entretejen en las particularidades que adquiere la vida cotidiana de las personas. Por ello, la orientación que adquieren las políticas, configura un determinante fundamental en la trayectoria de un sujeto por el sistema de salud. Se plantea que el tema central sobre el cual avanzar se relaciona con la exclusión en salud y el sufrimiento producido por los procesos de estigmatización y una decena de derechos que suelen ser vulnerados a las personas con problemas de drogadependencia

The mental health and substance use of healthcare professionals are vital concerns given their socio-healthcare roles. This study explores whether (a) healthcare profession is associated withthe presence of depression, suicidal ideation, or alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use, and (b) whether healthcare profession, depression, or suicidal ideation predict substance use. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted with 630 participants from Psychology, Nursing, Medicine, and Nursing Auxiliary Care Technicians (TCAE). Descriptive analyses and Poisson regression models with robust variance were applied. Results show that TCAE and nurses report higher rates of depression and suicidal ideation, highlighting their vulnerability during health crises. Alcohol is the most consumed substance, with at-risk use prevalent across professions. Tobacco use is highest among psychologists, while cannabis use is low, although 20% of users report problematic use. Severe depression is significantly associated with tobacco use, while its relationships with alcohol and cannabis use are less consistent. Alcohol consumption correlates with sex and healthcare profession, being more common among women, physicians, psychologists, and other healthcare roles. Tobacco use is associated primarily by healthcare profession, while cannabis use is significantly linked to depression, with higher prevalence among professionals without depression. Comprehensive policies addressing these issues are essential.

Esta investigación evaluó el consumo de alcohol en población adulta Latinoamericana y del Caribe latino durante el confinamiento por COVID-19, atendiendo a la edad y situ- ación laboral. Diseño no probabilístico con muestreo por conveniencia, con una muestra de 4975 participantes. Se analizó edad, situación laboral y consumo de alcohol durante el confinamiento y retrospectivamente antes de la pandemia. Los resultados muestran que independientemente del país, los jóvenes de 18-29 años disminuyeron el consumo durante el confinamiento; mientras que el mayor aumento fue en adultos de 45-54 años. Los traba- jadores a tiempo completo consumieron más que las personas desempleadas. Empleados a tiempo completo y a tiempo parcial, disminuyeron su consumo durante el confinamiento. Trabajadores por cuenta propia mostraron un consumo de alcohol significativamente supe- rior al de empleados a tiempo completo y a tiempo parcial, durante el confinamiento. Es importante impulsar políticas de prevención del consumo de alcohol en el ámbito laboral.
