Involving service users in student education

Abstract

Resumen Los objetivos del estudio son caracterizar la incidencia de psicopatología y antecedentes de conducta suicida en universitarios que consultan a un Servicio de Salud Estudiantil y determinar diferencias y/o asociaciones signifi cativas en relación a género. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental de carácter exploratorio y cuantitativo. Se recogieron antecedentes de conducta suicida y diagnósticos según DSM-IV (ejes I y II). Se incluyeron 460 universitarios que recibieron atención psicológica y/o psiquiátrica entre 01/2006 y 07/2008, según muestreo aleatorio estratifi cado. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, inferencial y relacional. Los resultados indican incidencias consistentemente altas con hallazgos en poblaciones universitarias extranjeras y nacionales. Se encontraron tasas signifi cativas para trastornos adaptativos, trastornos del ánimo, trastornos de ansiedad, desordenes de personalidad y antecedentes conducta suicida. Un alto porcentaje presenta alteraciones clíni-cas ligadas a ansiedad y depresión. Se encuentra mayor incidencia de trastornos adaptativos que de otros trastornos; y diferencias-asociaciones signifi cativas según género para diversos trastornos. Palabras clave: Salud mental, psicopatología, conducta suicida, población universitaria. Abstract The objective of the study is to characterize the incidence of psychopathology and suicidal behavior data in university students who attend the Student Health Service have, and to determine differences and/or significant relationships with the individual gender. We used a non-experimental exploratory and quantitative. We collected suicidal behavior data and diagnoses according to DSM-IV (Axis I and II). The sample included 460 students who received psychological and/or psychiatric treatment between 01/2006 and 07/2008, using a random stratifi ed sampling methodology. Relational and descriptive statistics was used. The results indicate the high consistent incidents with fi nds in university foreign and national populations. Rates were signifi cant for adaptive disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders and suicidal behavior data. A high percentage of the students show clinical alterations related to anxiety and depression. A higher rate of adaptive disorders was found, compared with other disorders; and signifi cant differences/associations with the gender for different disorders.

Health professionals' education related to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities: A scoping review

“…In more than 12% of articles, the use of simulation was described, with approximately 4% discussing experiences with standardized patients. In five articles, simulation experiences including direct interaction with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were described (Jacobs, 1999; McIntosh et al, 2015; Nazarjuk et al, 2013; Thomas et al, 2014; Watkins & Colgate, 2016). Discussion in healthcare education on how to effectively use this type of learning has increased (Henriksen et al, 2018) and 4 of the 5 articles were published since 2010.…”

Simulation using ‘live’ adult service users and moulage in a variety of settings

“…There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that SU involvement in healthcare is beneficial (DoH, 2004;Jones, 2006;Nazarjuk, et al, 2013). According to McKeown et al (2012) SUs and carer involvement in health and social care education has grown over recent years, and the NMC (2010) and GMC (2009) strongly recommend and advocate their use for nurse and medical education.…”
