Objetivo: Discorrer sobre o estigma enfrentado pelos usuários, assim como, as dificuldades familiares e a importância do seguimento terapêutico para recuperação dos mesmos. Metodologia: Desvela-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura desenvolvida com artigos publicados e indexados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Resultados e Discussão: Dos 34 artigos resultantes, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, exclusão e análise dos seus conteúdos, 10 foram selecionados para este estudo. Foram identificados três núcleos temáticos, sendo eles: Enfrentamento do estigma vivenciado por usuários de substâncias psicoativas, Padrão familiar desconfigurado decorrente do vício e Estratégias de redução de danos a esse público. Conclusão: os usuários de álcool e drogas vivem diversos estigmas que os fazem serem excluídos da sociedade, sendo de grande relevância a inserção desses usuários nos serviços de saúde, de forma humanizada, com a finalidade de obter resultado eficaz em seu tratamento, e ao vínculo familiar e social, reduzindo assim os altos índices por concernir-se de um contratempo que diz respeito à saúde pública.
Introduction: Social Anxiety Disorder of SAD is an anxiety disorder which is the third most prevalent psychiatric disorder. However, it remains to be one of the least understood illnesses. It is often referred to as the silent disorder since very few people approach for treatment as a result of the attached stigma and lack of understanding. A study was conducted to explore the prevalence of SAD in a medical college of Maharashtra. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in field practice area of a medical college in Maharashtra. Study population consisted of people from age group 11-25 years. Accordingly, two out of 4 secondary schools were selected at random and data for all the children in the required age group was collected after obtaining permission of the school principal. Online survey forms were made available to college students for collecting data between age group 18 -25 years. Result: Prevalence of SAD was least (16%) in the age group 15-17 years and maximum in 22-25 years of age group. Increase in trend of severity was seen with increasing age group and is statistically significant. Conclusion: There is a need for more vigorous efforts to recognize and treat SAD at an educational level. There is no doubt that appropriate intervention will be helpful to prevent the disorder or, more realistically, improve the quality of life for those who suffer from SAD.
