Psychiatric Population

Introduction: The opinions and perceptions about smoking in the psychiatric population contribute to the fact that its prevalence in this population remains two or three times higher than that found in other groups.Aims: 1) To compare the opinions of the psychiatric population and general population regarding the smoking ban in mental health services, as well as their perception of mental health professionals’ attitudes in relation to smoking; 2) To identify the association between personal and clinical variables with opinions and perception of attitudes.Methods: This Brazilian cross-sectional epidemiological study took place in: Mental Health Outpatient Unit (n=126), Psychiatric Hospital (n=126) and Primary Health Unit (n=126). Individual interviews were performed using a questionnaire.Results: Most participants believe that smoking ban may aggravate psychiatric symptoms. When comparing the responses of the psychiatric population with those of the general population, it is observed that the two groups have similar opinions regarding the effects of tobacco on psychiatric symptoms and behaviors. The population hospitalized in the psychiatric hospital was the one that most agreed with the perception of the attitudes of professionals working in mental health services towards smoking, possibly due to situations experienced in the psychiatric hospital. Among the personal and clinical variables, the illiterate or those who studied up to primary/junior high school were the ones who most agreed that the smoking ban aggravates psychiatric symptoms.Conclusions: This study contribute to the practice of psychiatric nursing by disclosing the opinions and perceptions of attitudes associated with smoking in mental health services. Introducción: Las opiniones y percepciones acerca del tabaquismo de la población psiquiátrica contribuyen a que su prevalencia, en esa población, sea de dos a tres veces superior a la encontrada en otros grupos.Objetivos: 1) Comparar las opiniones de la población psiquiátrica y de la población general en relación a la prohibición de fumar, en los servicios de salud mental, así como comparar la percepción que tienen de las actitudes de profesionales de salud mental, en relación al tabaquismo; 2) Identificar la asociación entre variables personales y clínicas con las opiniones y percepciones de las actitudes.Método: Este estudio epidemiológico brasileño de corte transversal fue realizado en Ambulatorio de Salud Mental (n=126), en Hospital psiquiátrico (n=126) y en Unidad Básica de Salud (n=126). Fueron realizadas entrevistas individuales usando un cuestionario.Resultados: La mayoría de los participantes cree que los síntomas psiquiátricos pueden agravarse con la prohibición de fumar. Al comparar las respuestas de la población psiquiátrica con la población general, se observó que los dos grupos tienen opiniones similares acerca de los efectos del tabaco en los síntomas psiquiátricos y en el comportamiento. La población internada en el hospital psiquiátrico fue la que más concordó con las afirmaciones relacionadas a las actitudes de los profesionales que trabajan en los servicios de salud mental, en relación al tabaquismo, posiblemente debido a las situaciones que experimentan en el hospital psiquiátrico. Entre las variables personales y clínicas, los analfabetos y los que estudiaron hasta la enseñanza fundamental fueron los que más concordaron que la prohibición de fumar puede agravar los síntomas psiquiátricos.Conclusión: Este estudio contribuye para la práctica de la enfermería psiquiátrica, al revelar las opiniones y percepciones de actitudes relacionadas al tabaquismo, en los servicios de salud mental.

Abstract In recent years, changes have occurred in people's mental health due to various current socio- demographic issues. The exploration of the events that cause psychiatric symptoms in people who need admission and hospitalization is required. That is why this retrospective study was conducted on 1.593 clinical history from the Main-Kinzig-Kreis Schlüchtern psychiatric hospital in Germany during the period 2000-2014 in patients aged 18 to 69. A total of 37.16% of the patients were identified as having acute symptoms, 41.62% as having substance abuse due to addiction and 28.75% as having a depressive disorder. Decompensation of severe mental disorders was detected in 27.05%, where 34.71% of the patients were referred from other care devices and 32.89% decided to be admitted on their own. The profile of the admitted patient is a man between 41-50 years old, married or with a partner, referred to the psychiatric hospital for health care resources due to a decompensation of some serious mental disorder.

SummaryObjective – In Italy, mental health care is in phase of reorganisation. In this frame the measurement of users' needs may be a useftil tool in planning individualised mental health service interventions and in their evaluation. Aims of the present study are (I) to highlight the basic concepts of 'needs for care' and give a brief description of the main needs assessment tools specifically developed for psychiatric patients; (II) to review studies assessing needs for mental health services in the general population; (III) to discuss the role played by the assessment of needs in planning mental health care. Methods – Studies published in the international literature from January 1980 to June 1999 were reviewed. The studies were located through a computerised search of the databases MEDLINE and PsycLit; in addition, the reference lists of the studies located through the computerised search and the content of main international psychiatric journals were manually scanned in order to avoid possible omissions. Studies assessing needs for services and studies assessing needs on individual level were separately reviewed. Both groups of studies, in turn, were divided in studies assessing needs for mental health care in the general population and in psychiatric patients. Results – Although most studies on needs for services used indirect methodologies and employed quite heterogeneous experimental design, they provide at large overlapping results. In the general population, about 60%- 70% of patients with anxiety, depression and other neurotic disorders and 30%-40% of psychotic patients do not receive any specialist mental health care, suggesting that the majority of subjects suffering from a psychiatric disorder do not receive the mental health care they need. Conclusions – Unmet needs for services show a higher frequency in patients with neurotic and depressive disorders, indicating a shortage in services delivery that should be taken into account both by psychiatrists and mental health planners. Moreover, the finding that a large number of patients suffering from psychotic disorders do not receive any kind of mental health care is of particular relevance for planning mental health services, since these subjects are usually the most problematic and difficult to treat.

Se manifiesta a través de palabras hirientes, descalificaciones, gritos e insultos. Diversas organizaciones Nacionales e Internacionales se han pronunciado por la eliminación de la violencia contra la mujer en todas sus formas. El Perú es un país con limitados recursos económicos y con gran demanda de requerimientos de salud, particularmente de  servicios de salud mental. La finalidad de la presente investigación es determinar la ubicación óptima de centros de salud mental que requieren las mujeres limeñas que son víctimas de  violencia psicológica por parte de su pareja. La base de datos utilizada fue proporcionada por el “MIMP” Ministerio de la Mujer y Poblaciones Vulnerables. Se aplicó el modelo de Kernel para describir la demanda espacial  de los  servicios de salud mental que requieren las mujeres que sufren agresión psicológica por su pareja y son  residentes habituales en las viviendas circundantes a los Centros de Emergencia Mujer ubicados en los distritos de Lima Cercado, Ate, Comas, Puente Piedra, San Juan de Miraflores, San Martín de Porres y Santiago de Surco; los resultados indican que los centros de salud mental deben ubicarse en el  Cercado de Lima y Santiago de Surco. Descriptores: Suavización kernel, intensidad, dependencia espacial, violencia psicológica. Abstract Psychological violence, also called emotional violence, is a form of abuse; that humiliates, makes them feel bad and insecure to a person, deteriorating confidence and self-esteem; is subtle and is much more difficult to perceive or detect. It manifests itself through harsh words, insults, shouting and swearing. Various national and international organizations have advocated the elimination of violence against women in all its forms. Peru is a country of limited resources and high demand for health needs, particularly mental health services. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal location of mental health centers that require the Lima women who are victims of psychological violence by their partner. The database used was provided by the      "MIMP” Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations. Kernel model was applied to describe the spatial demand for mental health services required by women who suffer psychological aggression by their partner and are habitually resident in the surrounding housing for women's emergency centers located in the districts of Lima Cercado, Ate, Comas, Puente Piedra, San Juan de Miraflores, San Martin de Porres and Santiago de Surco; results indicate that mental health centers should be located in the Cercado de Lima and Santiago de Surco. Keywords: Kernel smoothing, intensity, spatial dependence, psychological violence.

Young adults with mental health problems who do not attend school or work constitute a significant welfare challenge in Norway. The welfare services available to these individuals include nature-based services, which are primarily located on farms and integrate the natural and agricultural environment into their daily activities. The aim of this study is to examine young adults (16–30 years old) not attending school or work who participated in nature-based services in Norway. In particular, the study analyses mental health problems among the participants and in-group variations regarding their symptoms of mental health problems using the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL-10). This paper compares symptoms of mental health problems among participants in nature-based services with those of a sample from the general population and a sample of those receiving clinical in-patient mental healthcare. A questionnaire was developed for the study and was completed by 93 participants in nature-based services. The majority of these participants were recruited from the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV), local mental health services, and school authorities. Results indicate that just more than half of the respondents exhibited symptoms of mental health problems based on their HSCL-10 scores. In general, they reported fewer symptoms than the clinical in-patient sample (18–30 years old) and more symptoms than the general population sample (18–19 years old). Among the participants in nature-based services, those recruited through NAV and local mental health services exhibited no differences in symptoms. Half of the participants older than 23 years in nature-based services had not completed upper secondary school. The participants, including those with symptoms of mental health problems and low expectations at the outset of their participation, generally expressed high satisfaction with the services.
