ABSTRACT

Antecedentes La pandemia por COVID-19 generó una implementación súbita de las atenciones a distancia, especialmente en atenciones de salud mental. La evidencia que sustenta esta modalidad de atención es aún emergente, con escasos estudios cualitativos que representen su implementación en países latinoamericanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la perspectiva de terapeutas y de usuarios, respecto del uso de la telesalud en una unidad de salud mental infantil y de la adolescencia de un servicio público chileno. Métodos Estudio cualitativo. Se establecieron dos grupos focales con 14 profesionales en total, y 16 entrevistas en profundidad con usuarios de una unidad ambulatoria de psiquiatría infanto juvenil.. Los datos se analizaron utilizando el modelo de teoría fundamentada Resultados En el grupo de terapeutas surgen cuatro categorías fundamentales; antecedentes de la telesalud mental, implementación, telesalud mental desde la posición del terapeuta y proyecciones. En el grupo de usuarios surgieron tres categorías principales: implementación, evaluación de los usuarios de la telesalud mental y proyecciones. Conclusiones Existen elementos en común entre la opinión de los usuarios y terapeutas. Un elemento importante dentro del grupo de los usuarios es que, a pesar de aceptar la atención remota y reconocer aspectos positivos en esta, fuera del contexto de pandemia prefieren atenciones presenciales o mixtas.


Background The COVID-19 pandemic led to a prompt implementation of remote care, especially in mental health care. The evidence supporting this modality of care is still emerging, with few qualitative studies describing its implementation in Latin American countries. This study aims to understand the perspectives of therapists and patients regarding the use of telehealth in a child and adolescent mental health unit of a Chilean public service. Methods This is a qualitative study. Two focus groups were defined with 14 professionals, and 16 in-depth interviews were conducted with users of an outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry unit. The data were analyzed using the grounded theory model. Results In the group of therapists, four main categories emerged: background of mental telehealth, implementation, mental telehealth from the therapist's position, and projections. Three main categories emerged in the patient's group: implementation, evaluation of mental telehealth users, and projections. Conclusions There are elements in common between the opinions of patients and therapists. Something to note within the patient's group is that, despite accepting remote care and recognizing its positive aspects, aside from the pandemic context, they prefer face-to-face or mixed care.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El COVID-19 ha afectado la salud mental de la población pediátrica. Con la transición a la virtualidad, se han identificado posturas positivas y negativas. Debido a la diferencia de características sociodemográficas que posee la República Dominicana, es necesario describir el efecto de dichos cambios en la salud mental dentro de este contexto. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de las clases virtuales en la salud mental de los pacientes pediátricos. Metodología: Se utilizó el cuestionario de capacidades y dificultades en los pacientes que asistieron a consulta general. Se asignó una puntuación con la escala de puntuación estandarizada y se analizaron los resultados en gráficos de frecuencia y pruebas de correlación de spearman. Resultados: Existe una frecuencia del 10,4% (n=34) de alto riesgo de desarrollar algún trastorno psiquiátrico. Se observaron correlaciones débiles entre menor edad y trastorno de conducta, r(365) = -0,111, p = 0,034, y sexo masculino y cualquier trastorno pediátrico, r(365) = -0,131, p = 0,012. Hay una incidencia de 51,5% de síntomas físicos. Un 45.5% y un 30.2% identificó mejores e iguales calificaciones. Conclusión: Es necesario investigar los efectos identificados agregando la evaluación de especialistas para mayor precisión de los hallazgos observados.


Introduction: COVID-19 has affected the mental health of the pediatric population. With the transition to virtuality, positive and negative positions have been identified. Due to the difference in sociodemographic characteristics that the Dominican Republic has, it is necessary to describe the effect of these changes on mental health within this context. Objective: To assess the effect of virtual classes on the mental health of pediatric patients. Methodology: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used in the patients who attended the general consultation. A score was assigned using the standardized scoring scale and the results were analyzed in frequency plots and spearman correlation tests. Results: There is a frequency of 10.4% (n=34) of high risk of developing some psychiatric disorder. Weak correlations were observed between younger age and conduct disorder, r(365) = -0.111, p = 0.034, and male gender and any pediatric disorder, r(365) = -0.131, p = 0.012. There is a 51.5% incidence of physical symptoms. 45.5% and 30.2% identified better and equal qualifications. Conclusion: It is necessary to investigate the effects identified adding the evaluation of specialists for greater precision of the observed findings.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent lockdowns and social distancing measures adopted worldwide raised questions about the possible health effects of human social isolation. Methods We conducted a systematic review on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase electronic databases using terms related to human social isolation - defined as the isolation of an individual from regular routines and usual social contact - and psychological stress, searching for simulated or naturalistic isolation environments. We present the main results, as well as the validity and limitations of each model. PROSPERO registry number: CRD42021241880. Results Despite the diversity of contexts reviewed, some outcomes almost ubiquitously relate to psychological stress, i.e., longer periods, expectation of a longer period, confinement, lack of social interaction, and support. Based on the results, and considering that most studies were not designed for the purpose of understanding isolation itself, we propose a group of recommendations for future experimental or naturalistic research on the topic. Conclusion Evidence on the impact of different situations in which individuals are subjected to social isolation can assist in development of directed preventive strategies to support people under similar circumstances. Such strategies might increase the general public's compliance with social distancing as a non-pharmacological intervention for emerging infectious diseases.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. En los últimos 10 a 20 años, la psiquiatría de emergencia ha experimentado un progreso constante en cuanto a la prestación de servicios altamente especializados y enfocados en el paciente. Este aumento global refleja desafíos en accesibilidad y calidad de atención. En el contexto peruano, la legislación de salud mental y múltiples directrices clínicas orientan la prestación de servicios, no obstante, la insuficiencia de datos representa una barrera significativa para la toma de decisiones informadas. Objetivo. Examinar y reportar las características sociodemográficas y clínicas de los pacientes evaluados en la Unidad de Psiquiatría de Emergencia del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen (HNGAI), de Lima, Perú, y analizar la naturaleza de los cuadros sintomatológicos y sindrómicos. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Se estudiaron las interconsultas recibidas por la Unidad de Psiquiatría de Emergencia del HNGAI, entre julio y diciembre del 2022. Se aplicó un análisis factorial de los síntomas. Resultados. En 1037 pacientes vistos en interconsulta, la edad promedio fue 41,15 ± 23,52 años. El 65,2 % fueron mujeres. La tasa de derivación fue de 1,18 %. Los trastornos más frecuentes fueron los del humor (27,8 %); los síntomas más frecuentes fueron el afecto ansioso (47,3 %), insomnio (38,8 %) y ánimo depresivo (32,6 %). Con respecto al tratamiento, el más usado fueron los antipsicóticos (50,4 %). El análisis factorial exploratorio de los síntomas mostró siete factores o componentes sindrómicos importantes: psicótico, delirium, depresivo-suicida, obsesivo-compulsivo, negativo, apático, ansioso. Conclusión. El paciente típico de esta muestra fue mujer al inicio de su cuarta década de vida. Los trastornos del humor y los síntomas ansiosos fueron los más comunes. El análisis factorial exploratorio mostró la presencia de siete síndromes. Es necesario incrementar la recopilación sistemática de datos e inversión en investigación en psiquiatría de emergencia, todo con la finalidad de mejorar la atención que se brinda a estos pacientes.


Introduction. In the last 10 to 20 years, emergency psychiatry has undergone consistent progress in providing highly specialized and patient-focused services. This global advancement reflects challenges in accessibility and quality of care. In the Peruvian context, mental health legislation and various clinical guidelines guide service provision; however, the lack of data constitutes a significant barrier to informed decision-making. Objective. The objective of this study was to examine and report the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients evaluated at the Emergency Psychiatry Unit of the National Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital (HNGAI) in Lima, Peru, and analyze the nature of the symptomatic and syndromic profiles present. Methods. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Interconsultations received by the Emergency Psychiatry Unit of HNGAI between July and December 2022 were analyzed. A factorial analysis of symptoms was conducted. Results. Out of a total of 1037 patients seen in interconsultation, the mean age was 41.15 ± 23.52 years. 65.2% of the patients were female. The referral rate was 1.18%. Mood disorders (27.8%) were the most frequent diagnoses, with anxious affect (47.3%), insomnia (38.8%), and depressive mood (32.6%) being the most common symptoms. Antipsychotics (50.4%) were the most used treatment modality. Exploratory factor analysis of symptoms revealed the presence of seven important syndromic factors: psychotic, delirium, depressive-suicidal, obsessive-compulsive, negative, apathetic, and anxious. Conclusion. The typical patient in this sample was a female in the early forties. Mood disorders and anxious symptoms were the most prevalent. Exploratory factor analysis identified the presence of seven syndromes. There is a need to increase systematic data collection and investment in emergency psychiatry research to enhance the care provided to these patients.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To present evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice regarding religiosity and spirituality in mental health care in Brazil. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify potentially eligible articles indexed in the PubMed, PsycINFO, SciELO, LILACS, and Cochrane databases. A summary of recommendations and their levels of evidence was produced in accordance with Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine guidelines. Results: The systematic review identified 6,609 articles, 41 of which satisfied all inclusion criteria. Taking a spiritual history was found to be an essential part of a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach to care. It represents a way of obtaining relevant information about the patient's religiosity/spirituality, potential conflicts that could impact treatment adherence, and improve patient satisfaction. Consistent evidence shows that reported perceptual experiences are unreliable for differentiating between anomalous experiences and psychopathology. Negative symptoms, cognitive and behavioral disorganization, and functional impairment are more helpful for distinguishing pathological and non-pathological anomalous experiences. Conclusion: Considering the importance of religiosity/spirituality for many patients, a spiritual history should be routinely included in mental health care. Anomalous experiences are highly prevalent, requiring a sensitive and evidence-based approach to differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar o fenômeno das automutilações, trazendo à luz a complexidade desse campo de estudos e visando apresentar a construção de uma categoria nosográfica para as automutilações. Elas se caracterizam pelo ato de ferir o próprio corpo voluntariamente, sem intenção consciente de morte, e podem se apresentar de diversas formas, configurando diferentes tipos de comportamentos. Partindo das discussões existentes na literatura sobre o fenômeno, inicialmente circunscritas à psiquiatria e, posteriormente apropriadas pela psicanálise, apresentamos um percurso histórico do conceito, contextualizando suas aparições em diferentes cenas e formas psicopatológicas. Buscamos ainda fomentar uma discussão acerca do estatuto do fenômeno automutilatório: trata-se apenas de um sintoma, prevalente em diferentes quadros clínicos, ou estaríamos falando de uma síndrome, entidade clínica diferenciada que afunila e congrega outros comportamentos? Nesse cenário, destacamos o caráter transnosográfico das automutilações, uma vez que o fenômeno perpassa diversos quadros clínicos na forma de sintoma, ao mesmo tempo em que começa a se configurar como uma entidade nosográfica separada de outras doenças.


The aim of this article is to analyze the phenomenon of self-mutilations, to highlight the complexity of this field of study, and to present the construction of a nosographic category for self-mutilation. They are characterized by the act of voluntarily injuring one's own body, without a conscious intention of death, and they can manifest in different ways, configuring different types of behavior. Based on existing discussions in the literature on the phenomenon, initially limited to psychiatry and later appropriated by psychoanalysis, we present a historical trajectory of the concept, contextualizing its appearances in different psychopathological scenes and forms. We also seek to encourage a discussion about the statute of the self-mutilating phenomenon: would it be just a symptom, prevalent in different clinical conditions, or would we be talking about a syndrome, a differentiated clinical entity that narrows down and brings together other behaviors? In this scenario, we highlight the transnosographic character of self-mutilation, since the phenomenon permeates several clinical conditions in the form of symptoms, while at the same time it can be configured as a nosographic entity separate from other diseases.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Jean-Martin Charcot, widely regarded as a leading founder of modern neurology, made substantial contributions to the understanding and characterization of numerous medical conditions. His initial focus was on internal medicine, later expanding to include neuropathology, general neurology, and eventually emerging fields such as neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry. Furthermore, Charcot's intellectual pursuits extended beyond medicine, encompassing research in art history, medical iconography, sociology, religious studies, and the arts, solidifying his status as a polymath.


Resumo Jean-Martin Charcot, amplamente considerado como um proeminente fundador da neurologia moderna, fez contribuições substanciais para a compreensão e a caracterização de várias condições médicas. Seu foco inicial era a medicina interna, expandindo-se posteriormente para incluir a neuropatologia, a neurologia geral e, por fim, campos emergentes como a neuropsicologia e a neuropsiquiatria. Além disso, as buscas intelectuais de Charcot foram além da medicina, abrangendo pesquisas em história da arte, iconografia médica, sociologia, estudos religiosos e artes, solidificando seu status de polímata.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To reflect on ethical and social issues related to research on the genetics of mental health. Method A narrative review was undertaken of 87 articles found in three databases: Medline, Scopus, and Scielo. Keywords were defined broadly to capture as many relevant publications as possible. Data were summarized by topic. Results The following topics were identified regarding the application of genetic and genomic tools to mental health disorders: problems with diagnosis, proper informed consent procedures, protecting confidential data, providing participants with research results, risk-benefit balance, equity and access, commercialization of genotyping, and prenatal testing. Discussion and Conclusion Although a promising field, there is still much research needed on genetic approaches to mental health to achieve clinical relevance and predictive value, and more so in developing countries where there is little available data. Cost-benefit studies thus do not recommend genetic diagnoses in underdeveloped settings. Instead, local approaches should be enhanced. One limitation of research on the genetics of mental health is that it seeks biological causes for mental illnesses. However, the etiology of most mental health disorders is multifactorial, limiting the predictive value of genetic tests. Still, understanding the genetic origins of the biological pathways that lead to mental illness is important to diagnosis and therapy. Other problems discussed are enhancement of the informed consent process and counseling, protection of the right to know and not to know, and how the geneticization of disease is related to stigma.


Resumen Objetivo Este artículo reflexiona sobre temas éticos y sociales de investigación genética en salud mental. Método Se realizó revisión narrativa mediante búsqueda en bases de datos: Medline, Scopus and Scielo (se revisaron 87 artículos). Las palabras claves se definieron con amplitud para mayor número de publicaciones relevantes. Los datos fueron resumidos de acuerdo con el tema. Resultados Se identificaron los siguientes temas en la aplicación de herramientas genéticas y genómicas en trastornos de salud mental: problemas de diagnóstico, procedimientos de consentimiento informado apropiados, protección de confidencialidad, información a participantes de resultados, balance de riesgos y beneficios, equidad y acceso, comercialización de genotipos y pruebas prenatales. Discusión y conclusión A pesar de promesas, todavía debe realizarse mucha investigación genética en salud mental para lograr relevancia clínica y valor predictivo, con mayor deficiencia en países en desarrollo. Los estudios de costo-beneficio no recomiendan realizar diagnóstico genético para enfermedades mentales cuando existen pocos datos. Se necesita mejorar soluciones locales para abordar la salud mental. Una limitación es que la genética busca causas biológicas, pero la etiología de muchos trastornos mentales es multifactorial, disminuyendo el valor predictivo de pruebas genéticas. Sin embargo, encontrar el origen genético de caminos biológicos que conducen a enfermedad mental es muy importante para diagnóstico y terapia. Otros problemas consisten en encontrar métodos para mejorar el proceso de consentimiento informado y asesoría genética, la discusión si se debe preservar el derecho a saber o el derecho a no saber y el cómo la genetización de la enfermedad mental se relaciona con estigma.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Mental health services have been a focus of human rights advocates and recent legal reforms in some Latin American countries, which have called for a change from the paradigm of hospitalization to one of accompanying and supporting the person with mental health issues, which make it possible to apply the Advance Directives in Psychiatry (PADs). This change will require time, as well as economic, material, and human resources, and transformations in attitudes, culture, and society, but the implementation of PADs cannot be postponed: they must be used to protect the autonomy of the persons affected, within a bioethical framework. Objective Identify possible bioethical conditions in the prevailing conventional hospital context in Latin America that allow for an implementation of PADs. Method A participant-observer study was carried out in two psychiatric hospital services from June to September 2022. Results A thematic analysis found three themes: 1) clinical care, 2) patient predisposition, and 3) medical-legal questions. This study considered part of theme 2, including the following sub-themes: a) patient self-perception, b) biography/narrative versus diagnostic classification, and c) negotiation. Discussion and conclusion Prominent among the sub-themes discussed are recognition of the values of autonomy and its elements in all of the expressions of the person with mental illness, as well as actions of the physician or health care team in synergy with supported decision-making, a distinctive feature of the anticipatory process of the PAD.


Resumen Introducción La atención de la salud mental se ha visto emplazada por los Derechos Humanos y las recientes reformas legales en algunos países latinos, que instan a cambiar el paradigma asistencial de la hospitalización al del acompañamiento y apoyo en la toma de decisiones de la persona en condición mental, que posibilitan la aplicación de las Directrices Anticipadas en Psiquiatría (DAP). Este cambio implica tiempo, recursos económicos, materiales y humanos, transformaciones actitudinales, culturales y sociales. No obstante, la implementación de las DAP no puede postergarse, deben aplicarse basadas en el respeto a las personas en un marco bioético. Objetivo Identificar las condiciones bioéticas posibles en el contexto hospitalario convencional, imperante en los países de América Latina, que permitan la implementación de las DAP. Método Se llevó a cabo una observación participante en dos servicios de hospitalización psiquiátrica, entre junio y septiembre de 2022. Resultados A través de un análisis temático se obtuvieron tres temas: 1) atención clínica, 2) predisposición de los pacientes y 3) asuntos médicos-legales. Este estudio consideró sólo una parte del tema 2 con sus subtemas: a) Autopercepción de los pacientes, b) biografía/narrativa versus clasificación y c) negociación. Discusión y conclusión En los subtemas discutidos se resalta el reconocimiento a los valores de la autonomía y sus elementos presentes en todas las manifestaciones de la persona con enfermedad mental, se reconoce también el actuar del médico o equipo de salud en sinergia con la toma de decisiones apoyada, que distingue el proceso anticipatorio de las DAP.

ABSTRACT

La demencia es un síndrome usualmente de naturaleza crónica y progresiva, en el cual existe alteración de múltiples funciones corticales superiores. Esta enfermedad genera una gran preocupación bio-psico-social, además de ser la más cotosa que enfrentan los servicios de salud, y de tener un considerable impacto en la familia y en la sociedad a escala mundial. Las primeras descripciones fenomenológicas de la demencia se sitúan en tiempos muy remotos, y hoy su estudio constituye una experiencia enriquecedora para la práctica médica. La presente revisión se realiza con el objetivo de exponer una panorámica histórica sobre el surgimiento y evolución del síndrome demencial, con fundamento en datos respaldados por fuentes documentales autorizadas y avaladas científicamente. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda y análisis bibliográficos acerca del tema, en las bases de datos Scielo, Medline, LILCACS, ClinicalKey e HINARI. Fortalecer la cultura médica con respecto a la demencia puede propiciar un enfoque multidimensional en su diagnóstico, con mejores resultados en la calidad de vida del paciente y familiares.


Dementia is a syndrome usually of a chronic and progressive nature, in which there is an alteration of multiple higher cortical functions. This disease generates great bio-psycho-social concern, as well as being the most costly disease faced by health services, and having a considerable impact on the family and on society worldwide. The first phenomenological descriptions of dementia date back to very remote times, and today its study constitutes an enriching experience for medical practice. The aim of this Review is to set out a historical overview of the emergence and evolution of the dementia syndrome, based on data supported by authorized and scientifically endorsed documentary sources. For this, a bibliographic search and analysis on the subject was carried out in the Scielo, Medline, LILCACS, ClinicalKey and HINARI databases. Strengthening the medical culture regarding dementia can promote a multidimensional approach in its diagnosis, with better results in the patient and family members' quality of life.

ABSTRACT

El constructo de alto riesgo clínico de psicosis ha favorecido la investigación en la neurobiología de los estadios previos a la psicosis, así como también en intervenciones preventivas. Se trata de personas jóvenes que presentan síntomas psicóticos de menor intensidad o de menor frecuencia en un tiempo determinado, o bien tienen antecedentes genéticos de trastornos psicóticos sumados a un deterioro significativo del funcionamiento. Las escasas intervenciones existentes para esta población cuentan con un bajo nivel de evidencia. La actividad y el ejercicio físico han demostrado ser parte de la terapia de múltiples trastornos psiquiátricos, mientras que el sedentarismo sería un factor favorecedor de la psicosis. Efectivamente, las personas en alto riesgo clínico de psicosis presentan un peor estado físico asociado a mayor sedentarismo y hábitos de vida poco saludables. Se ha propuesto que el ejercicio genera un efecto biológico positivo sobre el hipocampo y las áreas circundantes, regiones que estarían involucradas en la fisiopatología de la psicosis. Algunos estudios experimentales han mostrado una disminución en la sintomatología psicótica en pacientes en alto riesgo clínico de psicosis que han seguido pautas de ejercicio físico. También dan cuenta de cambios morfofuncionales en estructuras cerebrales. Si bien existen barreras para la implementación de esta intervención, se trata de una intervención segura y factible. Es necesario realizar una mayor cantidad de estudios experimentales de una escala mayor para medir su eficacia, generando evidencia científica que permita eventualmente integrar el ejercicio físico a las guías de práctica clínica como una recomendación sistemática.


The concept of clinical high risk for psychosis has favored research in the neurobiology of the stages prior to psychosis, as well as in preventive interventions. This group is made up of young people with: (1) psychotic symptoms of less intensity or less frequency during a brief time or having genetic history of psychotic disorders associated to a significant deterioration in functioning. The few existing interventions for this population have a low level of evidence. Physical activity and exercise have been shown to be part of the therapy for multiple psychiatric disorders, while a sedentary lifestyle would be a factor that favors psychosis. Indeed, people in clinical high risk for psychosis present a worse physical condition associated with a greater sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy habits. It has been proposed that exercise generates a positive biological effect on the hippocampus and surrounding areas, regions that would be involved in the pathophysiology of psychosis. Some experimental studies have shown a decrease in psychotic symptoms in patients with clinical high risk for psychosis who have followed physical exercise guidelines, as well as morphofunctional changes in brain structures. Although there are barriers to the implementation of this intervention, it is safe and feasible. It is necessary to conduct a greater number of experimental studies on a larger scale to measure its efficacy, generating scientific evidence that will eventually allow physical exercise to be included in clinical practice guidelines as a systematic recommendation for clinical high risk for psychosis.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To provide practical norms for measuring depressive symptoms with the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) in Brazil through a state-of-the-art psychometrics analysis. Methods: We used a large representative dataset from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde - 2019), which included 90,846 Brazilian citizens. To assess scale structure, we assessed a unidimensional model using confirmatory factor analysis. Item response theory was used to characterize the distribution of depressive symptoms. Summed- and mean-based PHQ-9 scores were then linked using item response theory-based scores in generalized additive models. Finally, percentiles, T scores, and a newly developed score, called the decimal score (D score), were generated to describe PHQ-9 norms for the Brazilian population. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good fit to the unidimensional model, being invariant to age and sex. Item response theory captured item-level information about the latent trait (reliable from 1 to 3 SDs above the mean). Brazilian norms were presented using summed scores, T scores, and D scores. Conclusion: This is the first study to determine Brazilian norms for the PHQ-9 among a large representative sample using robust psychometric tools. More precise PHQ-9 scores are now available and may be widely used in primary and specialized clinical care settings.

ABSTRACT

As emergências psiquiátricas são distúrbios agudos do pensamento, comportamento, humor ou relações sociais, necessitando de uma intervenção imediata. Além disso, ressalta-se que o diagnóstico psiquiátrico de maneira geral difere dos demais por exigir além de habilidades técnico-científicas ou de anamnese uma prática interpessoal e conhecimento do contexto pessoal do paciente.Objetivo:O presente estudotem como objetivo avaliar o nível de conhecimento dosacadêmicos de medicina de uma universidade públicaacerca das emergênciaspsiquiátricas. Metodologia:Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo, do tipo transversal, realizado com 293estudantes de medicina.Foi aplicado um questionário validado, via Google Forms. Foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado para avaliar as correlações.Resultados:observou-se que há uma associação entre período do curso e conhecimento acerca de emergências psiquiátricas, viu-se que quanto maior o período maior o nível de conhecimento. Ademais, notou-se escassez de cenários de prática para os acadêmicos.Conclusões:Conclui-se que existem lacunas na abordagem da educação médica sobre o tema em questãoe faz-se necessário uma discussão aprofundada para melhoria nesse quesito (AU).


Psychiatric emergenciesare acute disorders of thinking, behavior, mood or social relationships, requiring immediate intervention. In addition, there is an emphasys thatpsychiatric diagnosis in general differs from the others because it requires, in addition to technical-scientific skills or anamnesis, interpersonal practice and knowledge of the patient's personal context.Objective:This study aims to assess the level of knowledge of medical students at a public university regarding psychiatric emergencies. Methodology:This isan observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out with 293 medical students. A validated questionnaire applied via Google Forms. The chi-square test was used to assess correlations. Results:The study observed that there is an association between the period of the course and knowledge about psychiatric emergencies, that higher the period, greater the level of knowledge. Furthermore, there was a shortage of practice scenarios for academics. Conclusions:It is concluded that there are gaps inthe approach of medical education on the subject in question and an in-depth discussion is necessary to improve this aspect (AU).

ABSTRACT

La mayoría de los trastornos psiquiátricos tienen una heredabilidad de moderada a alta, con diferentes arquitecturas genéticas. Aunque la investigación genética en psiquiatría ha tenido un avance progresivo, sus hallazgos, interpretación e impacto en la psiquiatría clínica resultan desconocidos para la mayoría de los profesionales de salud mental. En este artículo se abordan conceptos clave sobre genética para el entendimiento de algunas entidades clínicas, con énfasis en la nomenclatura genética y los tipos de mutaciones. Particularmente, se plantea el rol de la herencia en los inicios de la investigación genética en psiquiatría, los diseños de estudio más utilizados y sus principales objetivos. Por otro lado, se revisan algunas bases de datos genéticas y genómicas que pueden ser de utilidad para la práctica clínica. Entre ellas destacan , ClinVar, Ensembl y . Finalmente, se plantea una viñeta clínica en donde es posible aplicar algunas de las herramientas de la medicina genómica. Debido a que la evidencia en genética psiquiátrica se basa en estudios realizados en poblaciones con origen ancestral europeo o norteamericano, es de suma relevancia desarrollar estudios locales para incrementar el conocimiento y la aplicación de la medicina genómica sobre poblaciones subrepresentadas.


Most psychiatric disorders are moderate to highly heritable, often with different genetic architectures. Although genetic research in psychiatry has progressed, its findings, interpretation, and impact on clinical psychiatry are unknown to most mental healthcare professionals. This article addresses key genetic concepts to understand some clinical entities, emphasizing genetic terminology and types of mutations. Particularly, we describe the role of heritability in the early days of psychiatry genetic research, the most used study designs, and their main objectives. On the other hand, we review some genetic and genomic databases useful for clinical practice. These include Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, ClinVar, Ensembl, and The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database. Finally, a clinical vignette is presented in which we can apply genomic medicine tools. Since the evidence in psychiatric genetics is based on studies carried out in European or North American ancestral populations, we must develop local studies to increase the knowledge and application of genomic medicine on underrepresented populations.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los residentes de especialidad médica están expuestos a un alto nivel de burnout lo cual impacta negativamente en el profesionalismo. Esto ha promovido que los programas de residencias instalen curricularmente actividades de bienestar y autocuidado. Este estudio busca identificar la presencia de actividades de autocuidado/bienestar en residencias de psiquiatría de Chile y conocer la opinión docente respecto del tema. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal invitando vía correo electrónico a 80 docentes de 3 departamentos de psiquiatría a contestar un cuestionario sobre el tema de bienestar/autocuidado de sus residentes en sus programas de formación. Se realizó un análisis cuantitativo de los datos. Resultados: un 69,4% de los encuestados señaló que su residencia no cuenta con contenidos curriculares formales o un programa de autocuidado/bienestar para sus residentes. Las actividades existentes para las residentes relacionadas al autocuidado/bienestar y mencionadas por los docentes son: supervisión, resolución de conflictos, habilidades de comunicación y apoyo o trabajo grupal guiado. Las principales barreras son la limitación de tiempo, la falta de conocimiento y el financiamiento. Discusión: el bienestar de los residentes ha ganado relevancia en los últimos años. El Consejo de Acreditación de Educación Médica para Graduados (ACGME) lo promueve activamente. En Chile, según los programas encuestados, hay poca presencia sistemática de actividades estandarizadas o programas dirigidos al autocuidado y bienestar de este grupo. Parece necesario incluir este aspecto considerando el impacto del burnout en el personal de salud especialmente en un contexto de pandemia o crisis sanitaria.


Introduction: medical speciality residents are exposed to high burnout, which harms professionalism. This mental health situation has led to creating programs promoting well-being and self-care, which have not been installed transversally in medical education. The present study seeks to identify self-care/well-being activities in psychiatry residences in Chile and the teaching interest in implementing them. Methods: 80 professors from 3 Departments of Psychiatry were invited via email to answer a questionnaire on aspects of well-being. A quantitative analysis was performed. Results: 69.4% of those surveyed said their residence does not have formal content or a self-care/well-being program for its residents. The self-care/well-being activities most included in the residents surveyed were su-pervision, conflict resolution and communication skills, and support or guided group work. The main barriers are limited time and lack of knowledge. Discussion: The well-being of residents has gained relevance in recent years, so much so that the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) actively promotes it. In Chile, the situation seems to be different; there is a systematic lack of standardized activities aimed at self-care and the resident's well-being. Including mental health advocating programs is an essential challenge considering the context of pandemic and the relevance of preventing burnout in health personnel.

Introduction: The comprehensive approach to mental health is one of the country's public health challenges, as the Colombian population has deteriorated in this area over the past twenty years, according to the CONPES Document 3992, 2020. Objective:To characterize the individual mental health service delivery records at a service provider institution in Bogota, Colombia, between 2001 and 2017. Methods:Descriptive cross-sectional study. Individual service delivery records were used as a source of information, and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) was considered. Total mental health RIPS by interdisciplinary team: general practitioner, psychiatrist, nurse, psychologist, social worker, and occupational therapist. Results:A total of 2,360,295 individualmental health service delivery records from the selected institution were analyzed. According to the records, the average age of the patients was 47 years, and females predominated with 52.5% of the patients. Inpatient (49.82%), outpatient (43.42%), emergency room (4.54%), and day hospital (0.39%) services were used. The highest number of records (64.47 %) were found among the 18-59 years age group, followed by the 60+ year age group (28.50 %) and those under 18 years of age (7.03 %). The main diagnostic groups were psychotic disorder (33.38%), depression (15.39%), and anxiety (13.71%). Conclusions:Women are the main users of the service (52.5%). Hospitalization is the service most frequently used (49.82%). Adults between the ages of 18 and 59 use the services the most (64.47%). There has been a progressive increase in the number of attendances. Severe schizophrenia and bipolar mental disorders are the most treated (33.38%), followed by depression and anxiety (29%). General medical conditions were present in 10.95% of attendances

ABSTRACT

Currently, genome editing technologies, such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9), are predominantly used to model genetic diseases. This genome editing system can correct point or frameshift mutations in risk genes. Here, we analyze and discuss the advantages of genome editing, its current applications, and the feasibility of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in research on psychiatric disorders. These disorders produce cognitive and behavioral alterations and their etiology is associated with polygenetic and environmental factors. CRISPR/Cas9 may reveal the biological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders at a basic research level, translating a suitable clinical approach for use in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Genetic diagnosis and treatment for these disorders have not yet been fully established in psychiatry due to the limited understanding of their heterogeneity and polygenicity. We discuss the challenges and ethical issues in using CRISPR/Cas9 as a tool for diagnosis or gene therapy.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Factors affecting the quality of physician care include a shortage of trained staff, stigma, and discrimination. Objective The objective was to compare the intensity of stigmatization before and after a Psychiatry course, as measured by the scale of clinicians' attitudes towards mental illness, a version for medical students (MICA-2) designed to identify stigmatic attitudes towards mental disorders. Method The fifth-year Medicine students enrolled in the Psychiatry course answered anonymously using the MICA-2 test at the start and the end of their course. Additionally, we asked the students to answer a question about their interest in learning more about mental illness. Results Three hundred and thirty students were invited; 300 agreed to participate in the first application of the scales, and 291 in the follow-up. The average age was 22 ± 2 years, with a range of 20-30 years, and there was a similar gender distribution in both applications. In the initial application, the average score of the MICA-2 was 41.34 (SD = 7.86, 95% CI = [40.43, 42.25]). The follow-up application's mean was 37.10 (SD = 8.15, 95% CI = [36.30, 38.15]). Also, there was a decrease in interest in learning more about mental illness. Discussion and conclusion A reduction in the average scores of the MICA-2 was observed after a Psychiatry course, suggesting that attitudes toward mental disorders improved. A Psychiatry clerkship with close supervision modified the attitudes of medical students toward mental disorders. However, it did not increase their interest in learning more about mental illness.


Resumen Introducción Los factores que afectan la calidad de la atención médica incluyen: la escasez de personal capacitado, el estigma y la discriminación. Objetivo El objetivo fue comparar la intensidad de la estigmatización antes y después del curso de Psiquiatría, se utilizó la escala de las actitudes de los clínicos hacia la enfermedad mental, versión para estudiantes médicos (MICA-2), diseñada para identificar actitudes estigmatizantes hacia los trastornos mentales. Método Los estudiantes médicos de quinto año que tomaban el curso de Psiquiatría respondieron de forma anónima la escala MICA-2 al inicio y al final del curso. Además, se les preguntó sobre su interés en aprender más sobre los trastornos mentales. Resultados Se invitaron a 330 estudiantes; 300 aceptaron participar en la primera aplicación de las escalas y 291 en el seguimiento. La edad promedio fue de 22 ± 2 años, con un rango de 20-30 años; con una distribución de género similar en ambas aplicaciones. En la aplicación inicial, la puntuación media del MICA-2 fue de 41.34 (DE = 7.86, IC 95% = [40.43, 42.25]). En la de seguimiento, la media fue de 37.10 (DE = 8.15, IC 95% = [36.30, 38.15]). El interés en aprender más sobre los trastornos mentales disminuyó. Discusión y conclusión Observamos una reducción en los puntajes promedio después de tomar el curso de Psiquiatría, lo que sugiere que las actitudes hacia los trastornos mentales mejoraron. Un curso de Psiquiatría con mayor disposición y supervisión estrecha modificó las actitudes hacia los trastornos mentales de los estudiantes médicos, pero su interés en aprender más sobre los trastornos mentales disminuyó.

ABSTRACT

Asumiendo la metáfora de la encrucijada, propuesta por Santiago Levín, en la que estaría situada la psiquiatría en la actualidad, el presente artículo pretende reflexionar sobre algunos aspectos de una crisis paradigmática de la medicina mental que ha hecho a algunos temer por su futuro. Se abordan algunas cuestiones epistemológicas de cierto calado, como el régimen de "verdad" en el que supuestamente deben manejarse los expertos, así como los dilemas planteados en los dos elementos clave del encuentro clínico: el diagnóstico y el tratamiento. Finalmente, se insiste en la importancia de lo ético, lo social, y lo político a la hora de replantear saberes y prácticas. (AU)


On the understanding we accept where psychiatry would today be located in the metaphor of the crossroads, as proposed by Santiago Levín, the purpose of this article is to explore certain aspects of a paradigmatic crisis in mental medicine that has raised some concerns as to its future. Certain deep epistemological questions are addressed, such as the schema of "truth", where experts should supposedly manage themselves, and the dilemmas raised from the two key elements of a clinical session: diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the study emphasises the importance of the ethical, social, and political aspects of rethinking knowledge and practices. (AU)
