Mental Health Needs and Psychoactive Drug Use in a User Population of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in Family Health Care's field of  Ribeirão Preto city, São Paulo, Brazil to identify the prevalence of substance-related disorders and mental distress among patients with mental disorders. We also aimed to identify sociodemographic and social support risk factors. The data collection was done using medical records, the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ-6), Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and home visits. Of the 272 families studied, 211 contained individuals with mental disorders, and 61 included individuals who had substance-related disorders, or both. The mental disorders recorded in these families were most frequently mood disorders, followed by neurotic disorders, stress-related disorders and somatoform disorders. Women received twice as many psychotropic prescriptions associated with non-psychiatric medication. A significant relationship was established between education and mental distress as measured using the SRQ-20 (p = 0.024). The SSQ-6 revealed a family presence of social support in all of the conditions established by the six questions.

University Student Depression Inventory, Brazilian Version, Construct Assessment.

OBJECTIVES: to assess the University Student Depression Inventory, Brazilian version (USDI-BR), construct. METHODS: a methodological study carried out with a snowball probabilistic sample, consisting of 334 undergraduate and graduate students. Confirmatory factor analysis, reliability using McDonald's omega coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were performed. Principal component analysis was performed using the varimax rotation and oblimin rotation, using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin criteria, Bartlett's test of sphericity and scree plot. RESULTS: the USDI-BR presented an internal consistency of items of ω = 0.95 and remained with 30 items, with the addition of 1 factor (Death wish and social withdrawal), totaling 4 factors. CONCLUSIONS: the USDI-BR has evidence that points to its validity and also its internal consistency, deserving that new studies be carried out to expand the evidence of its psychometric properties.

[Attitudes towards consumption and non-consumption of alcohol among high school students in Mexico]. / Actitud ante el consumo y no consumo de alcohol en estudiantes de preparatoria - México.

The objective of this study was to identify differences in high school students' attitudes towards the consumption or non-consumption of alcohol using the theory of planned behavior. This was a qualitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study that included a sample of 131 students. We found that 74% of students had consumed alcohol, and 18.3% exhibited a harmful level of consumption. We also found that behavioral beliefs towards consumption were higher among alcohol consumers (mean=29.32, median=27.50) than those who did not consume alcohol. Moreover, positive beliefs towards consumption were higher among alcohol consumers (mean=17.72, median=9.52) than non-consumers, which demonstrates a need for preventative programs to strengthen adolescents' beliefs concerning alcohol as well as protective factors and healthy lifestyles.

Factors related to psychological impairment and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia.

OBJECTIVE: to describe the factors related to psychological impairment and quality of life (QoL) of patients with schizophrenia. METHOD: a cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, carried out with 119 schizophrenics. A questionnaire of sociodemographic and clinical variables was applied, plus BPRS-A and QLS-BR scales. Chi-square test and Spearman's correlation were used. RESULTS: seventy-seven were male and 44 were using typical medications. The "Number of times they were hospitalized" related to "Time of illness" that patients live with schizophrenia showed significance (p=0.266); 91.7% had a severe occupational level (n=109); 34.5% (n=41) had moderate impairment. CONCLUSION: the greater the degree of psychological impairment, the worse the QoL, this worsening may be related to several factors, as well as disease symptoms.

Stress and psychoactive substance use among university professors.

INTRODUCTION: University professors are highly susceptible to work-related stress, and psychoactive substance use is often used as a stress alleviation strategy. This issue has attracted the attention of organizations that represent these workers given its potential repercussions on work and personal life. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the association between work-related stress and psychoactive substance use in university professors. METHODS: A descriptive and analytical-qualitative study was conducted in a public university in the countryside of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Data were collected from 67 professors using Google Forms and the following instruments: sociodemographic characteristics and occupational activity questionnaire; Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening; and Stress Symptom Inventory. Descriptive methods were used to calculate means and standard deviations. The association between occupational stress, substance use, and the variables studied was investigated using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS: Most participants were men, married, with children, and a master's-level education. The mean age of the sample was 42 years. Differences were observed between the prevalence of legal and illegal substance use. Many participants were in the alert, resistance, or exhaustion stages of stress, with the resistance stage being the most frequent. Alcohol was the substance most commonly associated with work-related stress. CONCLUSIONS: Psychoactive substance use is associated with work-related stress among university professors.

[Alcohol and drugs: preliminary survey of Brazilian nursing research]. / Alcool e outras drogas: leventamento preliminar sobre a pesquisa produzida no Brasil pela enfermagem.

This bibliographic study surveys knowledge about alcohol and drugs produced by Brazilian nursing until 2004 and registered in online databases, in order to identify the presence of this theme; the origin of this knowledge and means of dissemination, as well as to analyze tendencies in this production.

Using common descriptors in this area, we found 218 abstracts. Production increased from the 1990's onwards (29.8% of the total). Scientific articles (50.4%) and theses (37.2%) were predominant. Knowledge tended towards three theme categories: use of alcohol and other drugs (62.9%); vulnerable populations (27.5%), and users of alcohol and other drugs (9.6%). Alcohol and drugs appeared as comorbidities in many studies and 38.4% of the articles were published in journals from other health areas.
