    Background: Coping mechanisms help individuals face adversity, remain stable over time, and can be generalized to various circumstances. Two types are typically distinguished: the active style, aimed at resolving problems, and the passive style, focused on emotional regulation. We hypothesized that passive coping of the primary caregiver (hereafter, primary caregiver [PC]) would affect the adaptive coping of his or her adolescent child with cancer (hereafter, adolescent with cancer [AC]). Objective: To analyze coping styles in adolescents with cancer (ACs) and their primary caregivers (PCs). Materials and methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study including 116 pairs of an adolescent with cancer (AC) and a primary caregiver (PC). The adolescents completed the Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS), applicable to those aged 9–17 years, while the caregivers completed the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI). Results: 49% (57/116) of the pairs both used the active coping style, and 14% showed the passive style in both members. No agreement was found between the coping styles of the AC and PC (Kappa = 0.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13–0.14, p = 0.13). The multivariate analysis explained 61% of the variance (Nagelkerke pseudo R2 = 0.61; likelihood ratio = 191.4; p = 0.003). Conclusions: Passive coping by the primary caregiver occurred with low frequency, and active coping was favored, similar to that of the adolescent with cancer. ©The authors ©Springer Science and Business Media © BMC Primary Care.

    Background: Social Capital on health has been studied widely, to date there is no valid and reliable questionnaire that measure it in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Objective: To develop, validate and assess the reliability of Social Capital related to CKD questionnaire for Mexican adolescents. Methods: An instrumental study was employed to validate a questionnaire that assesses the cognitive and structural domains of Social Capital related to CKD. The questionnaire was generated by operationalization of the constructs and validated by assessing the content, face validity, criteria and construct validity. Reliability was assessed through the Cronbach´s alpha. Results: The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through Kendall’s W of 0.925 (p = 0.01) and its face validity was evaluated by four focus groups. A principal component analysis on a sample of 281 adolescents indicated that 72.78% of the variance was explained by the cognitive domain and 83.20% by the structural domain. A confirmatory analysis returned a chi-squared value of 142.99 (p = 0.05), a CFI of 0.97, a TLI of 0.96, a RMSEA of 0.040 and a SRMR of 0.07 for the cognitive domain. Similarly, a chi-squared of 408.296 (p < 0.001), a CFI of 0.98, a TLI of 0.97, a RMSEA 0.03 and a SRMR of 0.06 were returned for the structural domain. The validity of the criteria was assessed through a Pearson’s correlation for both the cognitive and structural domains. There was a mild-to-strongly significant correlation (p ≤ 0.001) among items and dimensions within each domain, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.23 to 0.83. As a determinant of the reliability of the questionnaire, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.84 and 0.94 for the cognitive and structural domain, respectively. Conclusions: A valid and reliable questionnaire has been developed to measure the influence of Social Capital on health in relation to CKD among Mexican adolescents. ©The authors ©Public Library of Science (PLoS) ©PLOS One.
