ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to determine the frequency of stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms in symptomatic patients for COVID-19. To evaluate the associated factors involved in these variants. Methods: between May/June of 2020, it was conducted a prospective cross-section study with symptomatic participants for COVID-19 (n=300). It was applied an online questionnaire and the DASS-21 to evaluate the mental health of participants. Results: it was observed that 28.6%, 29.7% and 27% of the participants showed severe/extreme levels symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression, respectively. The testing for COVID-19 application had constituted a protective factor for the development of psychiatric morbidity, once it had shown significant association in the low frequencies of severe/extreme depression [Odds Ratio (OR)]= 0.26; p=0.002) and stress (OR=0.39; p=0.01). Conclusion: individuals that are symptomatic for COVID-19 are a vulnerable group that may present high symptomatology for depression, anxiety, and stress. The identification of psychiatric morbidity frequency and its associated factors may contribute for the development of mental health strategies aiming at the prevention and mitigation of psychological impact in COVID-19 symptomatic population during the pandemic.


Resumo Objetivos: determinar a frequência de sintomas de estresse, ansiedade e depressão em pacientes sintomáticos para COVID-19 e avaliar os fatores associados. Métodos: entre maio / junho de 2020, foi realizado um estudo transversal prospectivo com participantes sintomáticos para COVID-19 (n = 300). Foi aplicado um questionário online e o DASS-21 para avaliar a saúde mental dos participantes. Resultados: observou-se que 28,6%, 29,7% e 27% dos participantes apresentaram sintomas graves/extremos para estresse, ansiedade e depressão, respectivamente. A realização do teste para a COVID-19 constituiu-se como fator de proteção para o desenvolvimento de sintomatologia psíquica, uma vez que mostrou associação significativa nas baixas frequências de depressão grave/extrema [odds ratio (OR)]= 0,26; p=0,002) e de estresse (OR=0,39; p=0,01). Conclusão: os indivíduos sintomáticos para COVID-19 constituem um grupo vulnerável que podem apresentar elevada sintomatologia para depressão, ansiedade e estresse. A identificação da frequência de morbidade psiquiátrica e seus fatores associados podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de saúde mental visando a prevenção e mitigação do impacto psicológico na população sintomática de COVID-19 durante a pandemia.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of clinical signs and symptoms of severe/extreme stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as their associated factors, among Brazilians during social distancing. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study conducted in April/May 2020 with 3,200 Brazilians over 18 years old. Respondents' sociodemographic and clinical data were collected using an online questionnaire, which also included the 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to assess emotional symptoms. Unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated using Poisson regression models with robust variance. RESULTS Our results show the prevalence of severe/extreme stress was 21.5%, anxiety 19.4%, and depression 21.5%. In the final model, sociodemographic, clinical, and Covid-19-related factors were associated with severe/extreme stress, anxiety, and depression in Brazilians during social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We found the main factors associated with severe/extreme depression to be young women, brown, single, not religious, sedentary, presenting reduced leisure activities, history of anxiety and depression, increased medication use, and Covid-19 symptoms. CONCLUSION This study may help develop and systematically plan measures aimed to prevent, early identify, and properly manage clinical signs and symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression during the Covid-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients admitted with the diagnosis of puerperal sepsis of pelvic origin in an intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: a cross-sectional study, from February to August 2010 was conducted. Cases of puerperal sepsis from pelvic origin admitted to the ICU obstetric Institute of Integrative Medicine Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP) - city of Recife - Brazil were investigated. The variables were: age, origin, conducting pre-natal, delivery route, use of urinary catheter, central venous catheter, intubation, vasoactive drugs, conducting relaparotomy, the number of performed relaparotomies, performing hysterectomies, the incidence of complications and death. RESULTS: 77 identified admissions for sepsis, and 35 postpartum. The mean age was 22.6 years, most coming from towns of the state. 52.9 percent of women were aged 20 years. 62.5 percent were primiparous and 68.6 percent had undergone cesarean section. Concerning temperature, 42.8 percent of patients had values below 35ºC or above 37.8ºC. Complications occurred in 45.7 percent of patients. Dialysis was indicated in 40 percent and vasoactive drug used in 22.9 percent. Hysterectomy was performed in 44.1 percent of patients, in 54.3 percent relaparotomy necessary. CONCLUSIONS: genital puerperal sepsis is a serious disease that affects young women with low parity. The frequency of complications and invasive procedures in this group of women is high, which implies a high morbidity and mortality. Describing this group of patients contributes with current knowledge about the disease, improving the preparation of the Centers for dealing with genital puerperal sepsis.


OBJETIVOS: descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico das pacientes admitidas com o diagnóstico de sepse puerperal de origem pélvica em uma Unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) obstétrica. MÉTODOS: um estudo de corte transversal, de fevereiro a agosto de 2010, foi conduzido. Foram investigados os casos de sepse puerperal de origem pélvica admitidas na UTI obstétrica do Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) - Recife - Brasil. As variáveis analisadas foram: idade, procedência, realização de pré-natal, via de parto, uso de sonda vesical, uso de cateter venoso central, intubação, uso de droga vasoativa, realização de relaparotomia, o número de relaparotomias realizadas, realização de histerectomia, ocorrência de complicações e óbito. RESULTADOS: identificamos 77 admissões por sepse, sendo 35 puerperal de origem genital. A idade média foi de 22,6 anos, a maioria procedente de cidades do interior do estado. 52,9 por cento das mulheres tinham até 20 anos. 62,5 por cento eram primíparas e 68,6 por cento haviam sido submetidas a cesárea. Em relação à temperatura, 42,8 por cento das pacientes apresentaram valores abaixo de 35ºC ou acima de 37,8ºC. Complicações ocorreram em 45,7 por cento das pacientes. Diálise foi indicada em 40 por cento e droga vasoativa utilizada em 22,9 por cento. Histerectomia foi realizada em 44,1 por cento das pacientes, sendo necessário relaparotomia em 54,3 por cento. CONCLUSÕES: a sepse puerperal de origem genital é doença grave, que acomete mulheres jovens de baixa paridade. A freqüência de complicações e de procedimentos invasivos nesse grupo de mulheres é alto o que implica em alta morbidade e mortalidade. Conhecer de forma mais detalhada esse grupo de pacientes contribui com o conhecimento atual sobre a doença, melhorando a preparação dos centros para lidar a sepse puerperal de origem genital.
