Resumo Conclusões O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a associação entre a cobertura de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) e a Atenção Básica (AB) e o número de internações psiquiátricas, nas regiões metropolitanas das capitais dos Estados de Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e São Paulo (SP). Estudo ecológico de séries temporais com população composta por residentes das regiões metropolitanas dos municípios do RJ e de SP internados no âmbito do SUS. Dados secundários foram coletados (portal do DATASUS e IBGE) e calculados indicadores (oferta de CAPS, cobertura da AB, oferta de leitos psiquiátricos e taxa de internações psiquiátricas). Foram calculadas as tendências temporais dos indicadores e a associação entre as coberturas de CAPS e AB e as taxas de internação. Observou-se redução das taxas de internações psiquiátricas e oferta de leitos e aumento da cobertura de CAPS e AB nas duas localidades estudadas, com associação inversa e estatisticamente significativa. : os resultados confirmaram a hipótese de associação entre as tendências crescentes de oferta de CAPS e AB e diminuição das taxas de internação psiquiátrica no período e regiões do estudo. Este achado reforça a importância da continuidade e aprimoramento das políticas relacionadas às reformas psiquiátrica e sanitária.
Purposes
Mental disorders are responsible for 16% of the global burden of disease in adolescents. This review focuses on one contextual factor called community violence that can contribute to the development of mental disorders
Objective
To evaluate the impact of community violence on internalizing mental health symptoms in adolescents, to investigate whether different proximity to community violence (witness or victim) is associated with different risks and to identify whether gender, age, and race moderate this association.
Methods
systematic review of observational studies. The population includes adolescents (10-24 years), exposition involves individuals exposed to community violence and outcomes consist of internalizing mental health symptoms. Selection, extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two researchers.
Results
A total of 2987 works were identified; after selection and extraction, 42 works remained. Higher exposure to community violence was positively associated with internalizing mental health symptoms. Being a witnessing is less harmful for mental health than being a victim. Age and race did not appear in the results as modifiers, but male gender and family support appear to be protective factors in some studies.
Conclusion
This review confirms the positive relationship between community violence and internalizing mental health symptoms in adolescents and provides relevant information that can direct public efforts to build policies in the prevention of both problems.
