The state of health of the teacher is fundamental to the success of the teaching process. In addition to the intrinsic aspects, the scholastic context affects the well-being of the educator. The objective of this study was to identify the main psychosocial, structural and relational factors in the teaching profession. A systematic review of the literature, with the use of electronic research in eight databases, identified 2,479 articles on the topic published between 1997 and 2016. Metric and subjective parameters were adopted for selection in this portfolio and, in all, 32 publications were eligible for analysis, of which 29 were published in English. After the bibliometric and content characterization of the final portfolio, the main results of strain were psychosomatic disorders, with an emphasis on stress and the Burnout Syndrome, as well as voice disturbances. Workload, interpersonal relations and conditions of the scholastic environment are highlighted as the major agents of these conditions. Changes and adaptations in classrooms, actions of prevention and social support are pointed out as possible solutions to guarantee the quality of life of these professionals.

Introduction: The technical and organizational changes in the work environment lead to the appearance of emerging psychosocial risks. The teaching profession constitutes a risk profession when it comes to psychosocial risks, in particular Burnout. Objectives: To learn about the diachronic productivity of the last twenty years on Burnout and Burnout in Teaching. To verify if Price’s Law is fulfilled. To determine which countries, produce the most scientific documents on the subject. To indicate what the main thematic areas are and the dominant journals into which the publications are classified. To establish the connections between the different descriptors with regard to the keywords analysed. Methods: A descriptive bibliometric analysis has been carried out. The sample consisted of documents indexed in the Scopus database. The units of analysis were the keywords that were extracted automatically. Bibliometric maps were created using a methodology based on co-word analysis, clustering techniques and visualization techniques. Results: An exponential increase in production has been observed in this research topic, confirming Price’s Law. Only ten countries account for almost 70% of total production. Medicine, Nursing, Psychology and Social Sciences are the main areas of research on the topic. Conclusions: It has been verified that the topic under analysis is a current multidisciplinary research front and that scientific production is highly concentrated. It has been verified that bibliometric maps are an adequate instrument to understand the thematic structure of this research topic.

Introduction: Theoretical and investigative tendencies refer to proposals and contemplations of the social phenomena that are developed in the field of psychology of physical activity and sport, which allow to have other perspectives and ways of interacting in the context. Objective: Review of theoretical and research trends in the field of Psychology of Physical Activity and Sports in Ibero-American. Method: The research was qualitative, hermeneutic-comprehensive. The analysis unit consisted of 20 articles of Ibero-American journals indexed in Scopus in 2016 and 2017. Their selection was made from two descriptors Sport and Physical Activity. The search was carried out in the title, the summary and the keywords. For its analysis, a rubric was used, which allowed systematizing the bibliometric information of the article, its authors and cited texts and the keywords. Results: The agreement points and theoretical bets present in these articles were identified, grouped into thirteen categories. Conclusions: It is significant the presence of general categories of psychology such as motivation, relationship, life skills and intervention interests in such disciplinary aspects as Physical Activity and Sports Psychology.

Objective Research on gender dysphoria (GD) has been growing over the last decades with increasing interest in understanding and characterizing the causal relationships between psychological, genetics, hormonal, and sociocultural factors. Changes and acceptance of this condition as non-pathologic have led to significant changes in general perspective and its management over time. Our objective is to carry out a bibliometric analysis to know the publication trends and quality of evidence related to gender dysphoria. Methods A systematic search and critical review of the literature was carried out between January 1900 and December 2018 to perform a bibliometric analysis. Research was done in the following databases: OVID, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The medical subject headings (MeSh) terms used were: gender dysphoria; and surgery and psychology. The results were plotted using the VOSviewer version 1.6.8. Statistical analyses were performed with the IBM SPSS, Version 25.0. Results A total of 1,239 manuscripts were identified, out of which 1,041 were selected. The average number of cited times per year per manuscript is 1.84 (interquartile range [IQR] 0-2.33). The average impact index was 47.8 (IQR 20-111.6). The median of total citations per manuscript was 3 (IQR 0-33.1), and the highest number of citations per manuscript was 484. Most publications focus on the psychological aspects of GD, and there is a significant amount of manuscripts related to social and anthropological issues. Most articles have a low level of scientific evidence. Conclusion There is a great amount of published literature on GD; however, there is a significant level of disagreement in many respects on this topic. Regarding surgical gender-affirmation, there is a lack of information supported by high level of evidence to uphold the emerging expansion of medical practices.

Nowadays, cyberbullying has become a problem of social harassment in numerous educational centres worldwide. New communication technologies have provided the perfect support for the development of this type of harassment in peer relationships, in addition to being linked to broad social and economic circumstances. In this study, the global trends of the socioeconomic implications of cyberbullying in the educational context have been analysed, from 2004 to 2019. Thus, a bibliometric analysis has been applied to 1128 articles, obtaining results of the evolution of scientific activity in this period. The articles are mainly associated with the thematic areas of Social Sciences, Psychology, Medicine and Computer Science. Seven main thematic axes have been detected, highlighting those related to the psychological aspect, adolescence, and the school environment. Likewise, the link of the main authors, institutions, and countries to these lines of research has been detected. The evidence has shown the interest and relevance of this topic at the international level. Future research lines propose different analyses about how certain socioeconomic factors influence this psychological harassment inside and outside the classroom.

Human flourishing is a thriving concept, whose use has greatly increased among academic researchers from a variety of fields, from the arts and humanities and psychology to the social and environmental sciences and economics. To better understand the concept’s success, this work proposes a bibliometric review, in which statistical methods and data mining were used to analyze 1829 documents, chosen from the Scopus database by searching the term “human flourishing”. Through cluster and network analyses, the study shows the concept’s evolution and composition, as well as its current tensions and trends, in which the predominantly psychological approach is being compensated with social concerns and the search for justice. Furthermore, the concept’s strong philosophical roots provide it with abstract richness and great fertility, which can be seen in keywords, such as virtue or eudaimonia. This bibliometric review proved to be useful for this type of study, despite the limitations imposed by the characteristics of the Scopus database itself.
