Abstract: the objective of this study is to provide a systematic review of studies on patient satisfaction with telemedicine. The review included empirical studies that investigated patient satisfaction with that telemedicine service. The search strategy involved matching at least one of 11 ‘telemedicine’ terms with one of 5 ‘satisfaction’ terms. The following databases were searched: Telemedicine Information Exchange (TIE) database, MEDLINE, Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Psycinfo, and Citation Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL). A highly structured instrument was used for data extraction. The review included 93 studies. Telepsychiatry represents the largest portion of these studies (25%), followed by multispecialty care (14%), nursing (11%), and dermatology (8%). Real-time video-conferencing was used in 88% of these studies. Only 19 (20%) included an independent control group, including 9 (10%) randomized control trial (RCT) studies. One third of studies were based on samples of less than 20 patients, and only 21% had samples of over 100 patients. Aspects of patient satisfaction most commonly assessed were: professional-patient interaction, the patient’s feeling about the consultation, and technical aspects of the consultation. Only 33% of the studies included a measure of preference between telemedicine and face-to-face consultation. Almost half the studies measured only 1 or 2 dimensions of satisfaction. Reported levels of satisfaction with telemedicine are consistently greater than 80%, and frequently reported at 100%. Progression of telemedicine services from ‘trial’ status to routine health service must be supported by improved research into patients’ satisfaction with telemedicine. Further investigation of factors that influence patient acceptance of telemedicine is indicated.

Abstract: Psychology journals are the benchmark of theoretical and methodological research. Therefore, the purpose of the current study consisted of conducting a bibliometric analysis of International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology, Revista Argentina de Clinica Psicologica, Revista Latinoamericana de Psicopatologia Fundamental, Salud Mental and Terapia Psicologica for the past five years. Content analysis of articles was based on indicators of the Journal Citation Reports (impact factor, immediacy index and number of citations) and bibliometric indicators (number of articles, authorship index, institutional affiliation, methodology, types of sample, general and specific themes and language of publication). Our results verify the characteristics of each journal and finally, it reflects on the positive aspects that should be maintained by the journals and the negative aspects that can be improved to achieve greater prestige.

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness that has been approached since the eighteenth century by Kraepelin and Bleuler, but continues to cause confusion with respect to its course and treatment. The objective of this study was to reveal, through research realized since 2000 on psychotherapy for schizophrenia, the therapy that with current evidence improves the efficacy for the integral function of these patients. This investigation was based on a bibliometric methodology that analyzed a total of 71 items abstracted from the following databases: Scopus, PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, EbscoHost, Redalyc and Proquest. The outcomes of the study demonstrated that cognitive behavioral therapy was used in 30 of the 71 articles analyzed. Related therapies, such as cognitive and cognitive specifically aimed at the management of social skills, added another 19 of these articles. These therapies were recognized for promoting an essential treatment for the patient.

Abstract: the availability of techniques that allows the analysis of large quantities of data permits the construction of studies that can characterize the development and evolution of the psychological science through objective parameters, delivering profiles of the main trends. In this article we present a hybrid approach, based on a scientometric analysis and an interpretation of bibliographic communities based on the proportion of shared references (Grawin, 2012) of iberoamerican articles within the Web of Knowledge database. The results show a strong concentration of research on Depression (9%) and Alzheimer (8%), as a heavy use of quantitative and psychometric approaches. While Spain produces 54% of the science and leads 44% of the most influential (cited) production, Latin America produces 37% and leads 13% (Brasil 10%, Chile 1%, Argentina 1%, Colombia 1%). The repercussions of the results are discussed, as the consequences and future applications of these tools for practitioners and researchers.
