“…38 However, this value was lower (0.78) than that of another widely used screening tool, the SRQ-20 (0.93). 39 Notably, the same raters applied tests and retests in the SRQ-20 study, which differs from the present study, in which evaluators were different (medical students in phase 1 and mental health professionals in phase 2). This might have mitigated the degree of agreement, although this condition may be closer to clinical practice, as a screening instrument will probably be applied by a variety of PHC professionals (e.g., community health workers and/or nursing technicians).…”

Objective: To evaluate whether a short compilation of screening tools for specific disorders could identify Mental or Emotional Disorders (MEDs) in the general population. Methods: We selected validated screening tools for the most prevalent MEDs. In order to be selected, these tools should maintain the psychometric properties of the complete instrument with a reduced number of items. These instruments were: Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-2 (GAD-2), item 3 of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and three items on the Adolescent Psychotic-Like Symptom Screener (APSS-3). We called this compilation of screening tools Mini Screening for Mental Disorders (Mini-SMD). The study was divided in two phases. Firstly, 545 subjects were interviewed with the Mini-SMD and COOP/WONCA-Feelings at their residences. Subsequently, subjects who had agreed to participate (230) were reinterviewed with Mini-SMD, COOP/WONCA-Feelings and MINI interview. Test-retest reliability was calculated by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated for the analysis of discriminative validity. Concurrent validity was calculated by analyzing the correlation between Mini-SMD and COOP/WONCA-Feelings. Results: The joint administration of screening tools for specific disorders showed sensitivities that ranged from 0.76 to 0.88 and specificities from 0.67 to 0.85. The ICC value for the total score of Mini-SMD was 0.78. The area under the curve was 0.84, with a sensitivity of 0.74 and specificity of 0.76 (for a cutoff ≥ 4). Conclusion: This study showed that a short compilation of screening tools for specific disorders can detect MEDs in general population.

“…O WHO-5 é amplamente utilizado para detecção de depressão, porém possui limitação em relação à detecção de sintomas psicóticos 23 , assim como o instrumento SRQ-20 10,18 . Para a análise de validade, esses instrumentos também apresentaram bons resultados para validade preditiva 10,18,21,23,26 , indicando que são sensíveis para a detecção de casos positivos. 18 , com altas taxas de sensibilidade.…”

“…Existem inúmeros instrumentos de rastreio para transtornos mentais, que podem ser aplicados na atenção primária à saúde, por serem de aplicação rápida e fácil, por exemplo, o Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 itens (SRQ-20) 10 e o WHO Well--Being Index Version 1 (WHO-5 Version 1) 11 . O tempo médio para a aplicação desses instrumentos é de aproximadamente 5 min 10,11 .…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre as características psicométricas de instrumentos breves para rastreamento de múltiplos transtornos mentais em cuidados primários de saúde. Métodos: Revisão sistemática da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO e ISI, de artigos publicados até abril de 2014, utilizando descritores sobre rastreamento breve de múltiplos transtornos mentais em cuidados primários de saúde. Resultados: Foram obtidos 277 estudos e selecionados 15 após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Oito estudos analisaram confiabilidade e/ou consistência interna e os resultados mostraram índices bastante satisfatórios. Nos artigos selecionados, estavam presentes as análises das validades preditiva, concorrente e discriminante. Conclusão: As escalas de rastreamento são úteis para a triagem de pacientes com possíveis transtornos mentais, e o uso desses instrumentos melhoraria a capacidade de detecção desses transtornos em cuidados primários de saúde. ABSTRACTObjective: Conduct a systematic literature review about psychometric characteristics of brief tools used for screening multiple mental disorders in primary health care. Methods: Systematic literature review on PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO and ISI databases until April 2014 using key words related to brief screening of multiple mental disorders in primary health care. Results: Were obtained 277 articles; 15 articles were selected after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight articles assessed reliability and/or internal consistency and results showed satisfactory indices. In the selected articles, were present analyzes of predictive validity, concurrent and discriminant. Results ranged from moderate to good. Conclusion: Screening scales are useful to identify patients with possible mental disorders and they increase chances of detecting such disorders in primary health care.

This study sought to explore the effects of COVID-19 exposure, pandemic-related appraisals and coping strategies on psychological symptoms among the front-line healthcare workers based on the transactional theory of stress and coping. A crosssectional study was conducted in a Wuhan hospital designated for inpatients with COVID-19, assessing COVID-19 exposure (whether or not exposed to confirmed patients at workplace), psychological symptoms, appraisals, and coping strategies in 311 participants. Results revealed that the pandemic markedly affected healthcare workers' mental well-being through appraisal and coping, with 38.9% reporting high levels of psychological symptoms. Primary appraisal related closely with COVID-19 exposure, especially in female, while secondary appraisal was associated with problem-focused coping. Both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping had a protective effect against psychological symptoms, but also showed gender differences in its relations with other variables. These findings could potentially benefit to enrich relevant theories, and to develop psychological programs for future epidemics.
