Factors associated with family function in school children: Case-control study.

Background: Family functionality is that which promotes the integral development of its members, as well as a favorable state of health in them; fulfilling the basic parameters of adaptation, participation, growth, affection, and resources. Family dysfunction is understood as the failure to comply with any of these functions due to an alteration in one or more of the subsystems. Objective: There is little research on variables related to family functioning with a case-control design, for this reason, we present the family functioning of school students, identify variables found to be related to family functioning, and describe a model of variables related to family dysfunction. Materials and methods: Analytical study of cases and controls. The sample was made up of 290 students. The APGAR scale was used to identify family dysfunction. The statistical processing was done in Epi-Info 7.0 and STATA 14. The variables that were considered were: Municipality, area, age, sex, school grade, mother's age, disability, and displacement. Results: The factors associated with adequate family function were: displacement, (OR = 0.17, CI: 0.03-0.99). You are followed, your parents pay attention and listen to you (OR = 0.25, CI: 0.08-0.74), you talk to your mother every day (OR = 0.35 CI: 0.16-0.74), you spend free time with your parents (OR = 0.41, CI: 0.20-0.86), play sports at least once a week (OR = 0.42, CI = 0.20-0.91), and finally, attend religious services (OR = 0.51, CI: 0.29-0.90). While the factors associated with family dysfunction were: your parents punish you by forbidding you things (OR = 2.98, CI: 1.32-6.71) and you have friends close to where you live followed by an (OR = 2.60, CI: 1.13-5.96). Conclusions: Dysfunctionality was evident in the four municipalities of the Valley. Among the main factors associated with dysfunctionality was punishment by parents for forbidding things and having friends near the schoolchild's home.

[Prevalence of mental disorders in children treated in a public psychiatric hospital]. / Prevalencia de trastornos mentales en menores de edad atendidos en un hospital psiquiátrico departamental.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of mental disorders in children treated at a regional psychiatric hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Period prevalence study. A secondary database was supplied by the Hospital Psiquiátrico Universitario del Valle (HPUV) of Santiago de Cali. This database came from the systematized clinical history of the year 2014. The population consisted of underage patients who consulted during the period. All the records available in the database were used. RESULTS: Of the total number of children who visited the clinic, 35.7% (755) were females and 64.3% were males (1 361). The main psychiatric diagnosis observed in this population was depressive episode (11.6%), followed by mixed behavioral and emotional disorder (8.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The evolution of mental health over time has not changed significantly. The 2015 National Mental Health Survey presents similar results to those found in this study, particularly in the Pacific region, where depression and behavioral disorders are more prevalent.

OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de los trastornos mentales presentados en menores de edad en un hospital psiquiátrico departamental. MÉTODO: Estudio de prevalencia de periodo. Se empleó una base de datos secundaria suministrada por el Hospital Psiquiátrico Universitario del Valle (HPUV) de Santiago de Cali, proveniente del registro de la historia clínica sistematizada correspondiente al año 2014. La población estuvo conformada por los pacientes menores de edad que consultaron durante el periodo, se utilizó la totalidad de los registros disponibles en la base de datos. RESULTADOS: Del total de consultas atendidas se encontró que el 35,7% (755) correspondía al sexo femenino y el 64,3% al masculino (1 361). El principal diagnostico psiquiátrico atendido en esta población fue el episodio depresivo con 11,6% seguido por los trastornos mixtos de la conducta y de las emociones con un 8,5%. CONCLUSIONES: La evolución en el tiempo de la salud mental no ha cambiado significativamente. La pasada encuesta nacional de salud mental 2015 presenta resultados similares al encontrado en el presente estudio, particularmente en la región pacífica, donde la depresión y trastornos de conducta son más prevalentes.
