“…34,35 A number of reports about psychological stress and anxiety in ESRD have been published and have shown that patients with ESRD experience a moderate level of anxiety. 19,36,37 Previous researchers have identified severe medical illness, hospital admission, and impaired functional status as significant factors associated with anxiety and depression in dialysis patients. 9,10 Hopefully, these findings will translate into a more accurate view of public healthcare policy for patients receiving HD.…”

BackgroundHemodialysis therapy requires patients to undergo major lifestyle changes. Patients with increased perceived social support and decreased anxiety are more likely to enhance self‐care.Patients and MethodsA descriptive‐correlational study design was used to analyze the baseline data of a group of hemodialysis patients (n=140). Three instruments were used: the Exercise of Self‐Care Agency Scale (ESCA), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM‐A), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were completed.ResultsSocial support and anxiety are significant predictors of self‐care after controlling for the effect of time on dialysis. Results indicated that patients who perceived higher levels of social support and lower levels of anxiety were more likely to have a higher level of self‐care.ConclusionsInterventions to increase hemodialysis patients' perceived social support and decreased anxiety may contribute to an enhanced self‐care ability and positive health outcome, and may subsequently improve self‐care and the psychosocial adjustment to hemodialysis.

O objetivo foi verificar a prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) e sua associação com qualidade de vida em jovens da cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Estudo transversal de base populacional com jovens de 18 a 24 anos. A seleção amostral foi realizada por conglomerados. Para a investigação dos transtornos mentais comuns foi aplicado o Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20), enquanto os níveis de qualidade de vida foram mensurados por intermédio da Medical Outcomes Survey Short-form General Health Survey (SF-36). A prevalência de TMC na amostra estudada foi de 24,5% (N = 382), apresentando-se mais evidente entre as mulheres, entre aqueles que pertenciam à menor classe socioeconômica (D ou E), não estavam estudando, não estavam trabalhando, consumiram álcool e usaram tabaco pelo menos uma vez na última semana e que fizeram uso de alguma substância ilícita nos últimos três meses. Os jovens com TMC obtiveram uma menor média nos escores da SF-36 em todos os domínios de qualidade de vida avaliados. Deve-se investir em medidas preventivas de TMC no intuito de proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida à população.

“…Many physicians have little training in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders (Schonfeld, 1997;Wang, Berglund, & Kessler, 2000;Wang, Demier, & Kessler, 2002;Wang et al, 2005). In the current study most participants had moderate to low levels of such training.…”

“…Primary care physicians are unlikely to have received much formal training in the diagnosis and management of these disorders with internal medicine specialists receiving the least amount of formal mental health training (Strain et al, 1985;. In addition, both of these disorders appear to be dramatically under-diagnosed, and therefore inadequately treated by PCPs (Hirschfeld et al, 2003;Schonfeld et al, 1997;Schulberg et al, 1996).…”

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are highly prevalent illnesses that can result in profound impairment (Alegria et al., 2006; CTPTSD, 2007). While many patients with these disorders present in primary care, research suggests that physicians under-detect and suboptimally manage MDD and PTSD in their patients Satter et al., 2012). The development of more effective training interventions to aid primary care providers in diagnosing mental health disorders is of the utmost importance. This research focuses on evaluating computer-based training tools
