Abstract:
General hospital psychiatry in Britain began in 1728, and thereafter several new voluntary hospitals provided separate wards for lunatics, but none survived beyond the middle of the 19th century. Less severe nervous organic disorder has always been common in the general wards of voluntary hospitals, and was accepted as the responsibility of neurologists and other physicians; all forms of disorder were admitted to the infirmaries of workhouses. During the present century psychiatrists began to take an interest in non-certifiable mental illnesses and in working in general hospitals. Out-patient clinics became more common following the Mental Treatment Act 1930. The growth of general hospital psychiatric units in the last 30 years began amidst controversy, but has received little recent critical attention.

Abstract:
In August 1989 Meanwood Park Hospital, Leeds, the biggest hospital for mental handicap in the Yorkshire Health Region, reached the seventieth anniversary of its foundation. Like other hospitals for mental handicap. Meanwood Park is coming to the end of an era. The parkland of 134 acres, which has been the hospital's estate, and has existed for over 200 years, is to be sold in phases for housing schemes. Now is an opportune time to record the history of this hospital.

Abstract:
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, elderly individuals with severe mental illness living in the United States were cared for in state-run facilities that went by various names (asylums, psychopathic hospitals, state hospitals, state mental hospitals, and medical centers). Since the beginning of the 20th century, approximately 20% of patients in state hospital facilities had brain diseases such as dementia, usually complicated by behavioral disorder.

Abstract:
Resumen: En el presente artículo se describe la evolución del sistema sanitario catalán utilizando, para ello, el desarrollo de un concepto cultural –el hospitalo-centrismo– clave para entender la hegemonía de la institución hospitalaria en los dispositivos de salud actuales. A tales efectos y utilizando dos perspectivas complementarias como son la historia antropológica y la antropología médica, el artículo analiza un case study a partir de tres ejemplos: la demanda de urgencias hospitalarias asociadas a una concepción cultural de lo que es “grave” y al embodiment de su eficacia por los ciudadanos; la necesidad del rol de asilo en las enfermedades crónicas o terminales; y la conversión del cuidado doméstico como “hospitalización doméstica” en el caso de la salud mental. Palabras clave: hospital-centrismo, sistema sanitario, historia de hospitales, urgencias, cuidados crónicos, salud mental. Abstract: This article describes the evolution of the Catalan Health System, using the development of a key cultural concept –hospital-centrism– to understand the hegemony of the hospital institution in the current health devices. To this purpose, and using two complementary perspectives such as anthropological history and medical anthropology, the article analyzes a case study from three examples: the demand for hospital emergencies related with a cultural conception of what is “severe”, and with its effectiveness embodied by the citizens; the need of the asylum role in chronic or terminal diseases; and the transformation of domestic care to “domestic hospitalization” in mental health cases. Keywords: hospital-centrism, health system, history of hospitals, emergencies, chronic care, mental health.

Abstract:
The cities of Bristol and Bath have played an eminent role in the history of mental handicap.Unfortunately, documentation is rather scanty, particularly on the pre and post Reformation era but much more is known about the Holy Cross Hospital in Bath, perhaps the oldest mental handicap hospital in Great Britain. The Romans contributed to its foundations when they built Fossway Road on the outskirts of Bath which the pilgrims later used to visit Glastonbury.

Abstract:
This paper reviews briefly the history of mental health depopulation in Canada over the past 30 years. The term “deinstitutionalization” is often used but is unsatisfactory. Using an exploratory, qualitative, methodological approach, data were collected on the problems encountered by a disproportionate, stratified random sample of 139 formerly institutionalized patients living in various geographical locales in Eastern Canada. Adopting a symbolic interactionist theoretical approach, this study, in an effort to fill a neglect in the literature, attempted to discover what the everyday world(s) of Canadian ex-mental patients was really like. Problems encountered related to stigma, poor housing, lack of back living skills, poverty, unemployment and aftercare. Quotations from patients are provided to illustrate such themes. The findings are discussed.

Abstract:
The case records of 55 people from the West Midlands (UK) fulfilling the Mental Health Act 1983 criteria for mental impairment or severe mental impairment, were studied. Most were young men with mild mental retardation. 73 per cent were resident in (or on leave from) mental handicap hospitals, and 27 per cent resident in special hospitals. 29 per cent were subject to a Restriction Order. Most had lived in hospital for more than six years. The commonest problem behaviours were aggression, property offences and inappropriate or offending sexual behaviour. 31 per cent were mentally ill or had a past history of mental illness. A diverse range of services appears necessary to meet the needs of this group of people.

Abstract:
Background mHealth interventions that use mobile phones as instruments for illness management are gaining popularity. Research examining mobile phone‒based mHealth programs for people with psychosis has shown that these approaches are feasible, acceptable, and clinically promising. However, most mHealth initiatives involving people with schizophrenia have spanned periods ranging from a few days to several weeks and have typically involved participants who were clinically stable. Objective Our aim was to evaluate the viability of extended mHealth interventions for people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders following hospital discharge. Specifically, we set out to examine the following: (1) Can individuals be engaged with a mobile phone intervention program during this high-risk period?, (2) Are age, gender, racial background, or hospitalization history associated with their engagement or persistence in using a mobile phone intervention over time?, and (3) Does engagement differ by characteristics of the mHealth intervention itself (ie, pre-programmed vs on-demand functions)? Methods We examined mHealth intervention use and demographic and clinical predictors of engagement in 342 individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders who were given the FOCUS mobile phone intervention as part of a technology-assisted relapse prevention program during the 6-month high-risk period following hospitalization. Results On average, participants engaged with FOCUS for 82% of the weeks they had the mobile phone. People who used FOCUS more often continued using it over longer periods: 44% used the intervention over 5-6 months, on average 4.3 days a week. Gender, race, age, and number of past psychiatric hospitalizations were associated with engagement. Females used FOCUS on average 0.4 more days a week than males. White participants engaged on average 0.7 days more a week than African-Americans and responded to prompts on 0.7 days more a week than Hispanic participants. Younger participants (age 18-29) had 0.4 fewer days of on-demand use a week than individuals who were 30-45 years old and 0.5 fewer days a week than older participants (age 46-60). Participants with fewer past hospitalizations (1-6) engaged on average 0.2 more days a week than those with seven or more. mHealth program functions were associated with engagement. Participants responded to prompts more often than they self-initiated on-demand tools, but both FOCUS functions were used regularly. Both types of intervention use declined over time (on-demand use had a steeper decline). Although mHealth use declined, the majority of individuals used both on-demand and system-prompted functions regularly throughout their participation. Therefore, neither function is extraneous. Conclusions The findings demonstrated that individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders can actively engage with a clinically supported mobile phone intervention for up to 6 months following hospital discharge. mHealth may be useful in reaching a clinical population that is typically difficult to engage during high-risk periods.

Full text
Abstract:
There are few museums in the western half of the United States that provide an opportunity to educate the public about the history of mental health care. Recently, a mental health museum and archive of artifacts, photographs, and documents was established on the grounds of Patton State Hospital in Highland, California. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the establishment of this museum and archive and to provide an account of the 125 year history of Patton State Hospital. Understanding the history of Patton provides an opportunity to understand the history of mental health care in the United States from the late 19th century to the present. The establishment of this museum and archive became a joint initiative between Patton and California State University, San Bernardino’s History Department in January 2014. The museum and archive are meant to provide an educational venue that will increase awareness of the plight of the mentally ill, decrease stigmatization of those afflicted with mental illness, and further efforts to improve the care of patients through preservation and display of the artifacts, photographs, and documents related to Patton’s history. The goal of this paper is to assist future public historians with the design and establishment of a museum and/or archive, be it related to mental health history or to projects with other themes, and to provide information to other mental health facilities that wish to establish their own museums.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the cultural and social history of Cardiff City Mental Hospital during the tenure of its first medical superintendent, Dr Edwin Goodall. When the hospital opened in 1908 the asylum movement was at a low point with numbers increasing and recovery rates falling. In spite of this Cardiff's new asylum opened with a spirit of great optimism and a belief that cures for mental disorders were possible. Two primary sources, previously undiscovered, are analysed. The first, the Medical Superintendent Letter Books, are examined and enable insights into the relationship between Dr Goodall and staff within the hospital, society beyond the hospital gates, the Commissioners for Lunacy and Board of Control, the Visiting Committee and the Board of Guardians for Cardiff. The second, the King Edward VII Hospital outpatient notes, give information about the foundation of an innovative approach to mental health care in the period outside of the confines of an asylum. The thesis examines the hospital from a number of perspectives: The relationship between the institution and Cardiff as a city; the role of the medical superintendent; the research conducted and gender relations among patients and staff. It is found that the hospital played a role in Cardiff's portrayal of itself as the Welsh metropolis and was surrounded by a semipermeable membrane allowing passage in both directions between itself and the local community. The role of the superintendent is discovered to have been one of negotiation and compromise rather than of authority. The research played little role in patient treatment yet was lauded by contemporaries but mostly lost to future generations. New light is shone on gender in terms of diagnosis of insanity and on the relationships between male and female staff. The thesis lays bare the culture of the institution in the early twentieth century and adds much to our knowledge of care of the mentally disordered in this period.

Abstract:
In 1869 the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia passed legislation that established the first asylum in the United States to care exclusively for African-American patients. Then known as Central Lunatic Asylum for the Colored Insane and located in Richmond, Virginia, the asylum began to admit patients in 1870. This thesis explores three aspects of Central State Hospital's history during the nineteenth century: attitudes physicians held toward their patients, the involuntary commitment of patients, and life inside the asylum. Chapter One explores the nineteenth-century belief held by southern white physicians, including those at Central State Hospital, that freed people were mentally, emotionally, and physically unfit for freedom. Chapter Two explains the involuntary commitment of African Americans to Central State Hospital in 1874. Chapter Three considers patient life at the asylum by contrasting the expectation of “Moral Management” care with the reality of daily life and treatment.

O conhecimento profundo dos conceitos relativos The history of psychiatry has been arising higher interest in the last years. However, there is still a great scarcity of information regarding the history of this field of medicine, which is fundamental for a better understanding of the transformations of the psychiatric medical thought in our milieu. It is essential a profound knowledge of the concepts related to the traditions, changes and permanences of the past for the adequate understanding of the specialty\'s present and the prognosis for its future. It is relevant, in order to be situated in the current days, to know psychiatry\'s history of concepts and medical practice in Brazil, by focusing the historical context, the political movements and the possible influences that are external to our culture, which have interfered, along the time, for psychiatry to present as such in the current days. The current work aimed at delineating the medical-psychiatric conception between the decades of 1920 and 1950 about the mental disorders and their treatments in the state of So Paulo, besides emphasizing its possible influences over the medical-psychiatric thought of our days. It was used the qualitative methodology, by integrating two different areas of knowledge, Psychiatry and History. It is an appropriate method to incorporating meanings and intentions to social acts, relations and structures. The data production was accomplished by the survey and analysis of historical documents produced in the decades of 1920 up to 1950 about the formation of the discipline and the cathedra of Psychiatry of the Medical School of the University of So Paulo (FMUSP), the formation of the So Paulo League of Mental Hygiene, subordinated to the Brazilian League of Mental Hygiene (LBHM), of the formation and action of the Institution of Social Assistance to Psychopaths of the State of So Paulo, of the institutional life of the Juquery Hospital, and of the conception and beginning of the activities of the Institute of Psychiatry (IPq) of the Clinical Hospital of the Medical School of the University of So Paulo. We conclude that the thought about mental health in São Paulo, within the period delimited by the study, was constituted based on great influence of other fields of knowledge determining the directions of psychiatry as a medical specialty in our milieu

Abstract:
The Kew Asylum has been a dominant feature of Melbourne’s built environment for over 100 years. In addition to the visual impact it has made on Melbourne’s skyline it has been very much a part of the psychological landscape of the collective imagination of the city’s inhabitants. Despite this, comparatively little has been written about its impact on society, and almost nothing has been recorded in any comprehensive sense, about its occupants or inmates. This dissertation aims to go some way towards redressing this, not with a broad sweep institutional biography, but with an intimate portrait of the asylum’s earliest days. Covering a time frame of less than 50 years, this thesis adopts a multi-theoretical approach in order to illuminate the different facets of asylum life with the maximum clarity. The thesis contains several themes, some of which overlap and interweave in order to examine the complexity of institutional life.

Abstract:
I examined the factors that led to the rise and fall of psychiatric hospitals and its impact on two select groups of individuals: adults and older adults with severe mental illness. To explore the reasons behind these fluctuations, the State of Texas was used as a case study. Additionally, the fluctuations occurred for different reasons in public vs. for-profit investor-owned psychiatric hospitals. Using an investor-owned psychiatric hospital organization as a case study, I investigated the differences in factors that influenced the growth and/or demise in public vs. investor-owned psychiatric hospitals. Evolution and devolution of psychiatric hospitals was assessed during select time periods: 1700 to1930, 1940 to1970, 1980 to 2000, and 2000 to present. Time period selections were relevant to the important drivers of the span of time that influenced the psychiatric hospitals. Historical review and trend analysis was used to identify the total number of psychiatric hospitals and/or total number of psychiatric hospital beds and psychiatric hospitals by type. Analysis showed there was a cyclical pattern of evolution and devolution of psychiatric hospitals and each cycle altered the form, function, and role of the psychiatric hospital along with altering the location of care for adults and older adults with severe mental illness. The research results suggest a long-stay residential facility, specializing in evidence-based treatment for adults and older adults with severe mental illness, to counter the dire shortage of psychiatric hospital beds.

Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior
In Brazil, the mental health network proposed by the Psychiatric Reform inserts the intermediate and replacement services in the pursuit of alignment or resocialization of patients with mental and behavioral disorder in the community. Was adopted, among other services, the Center for Psychosocial Care, Home Therapy, Sheltered Home, Day Hospital and psychiatric beds in general hospital. In this context, the State of Rio Grande do Norte implanted the Day Hospital Dr. Elger Nunes (HDEN) in Natal / RN in 1996, linked to State Department of Public Health. At HDEN happened a multi and interdisciplinary therapeutic work, besides being the scene of disciplinary practices, and extension projects for graduate courses in Higher Education Institutions in the city. However, with the process of decentralization of local services, the hospital was terminated by an administrative state act in 2006, leaving damage to the activities provided to users, disciplinary practices and extension activities. From this breakdown, the objective was to narrate the trajectory of HDEN through a multidisciplinary team of professionals and teachers who used it as a field of disciplinary practices. It is characterized as a documental and qualitative, backed in the technique of thematic oral history, following the phases: authorization of the interviewee, interview recording, transcription, textualization and transcreation of the material obtained. We used documents, ordinances, general reports of activities, among others, plus interviews to fifteen employees who used this service, being thirteen part of the multidisciplinary team of professionals and two graduation professors of health care area, nursing and medicine. The stories collected were organized according to the technique chosen, respecting its steps. In preparing the body subjected to ALCESTE computer program, priority was given to the vital tone for the formation of categories and classes elected by the program, structured in three thematic areas. In the first axis, called Trajectory of HDEN, were recalled the beginning of its activities, the steps of that time, their activities, and its actors - users, families, professionals, and teaching practices. The second axis has dealt with the process of extinction of HDEN, rescuing the feelings of employees, the main reasons given at the time and immediate postextinction scenario. And the third axis revealed in an articulated form the situation of mental health in Natal / RN, listing to the challenges and prospects for the psychosocial care, starting from the trajectory of HDEN with emphasis on activities. Moreover, the trajectory of HDEN provides recognition of the historical basis outlined in the constitution of the network of substitute services present in the current scenario of psychosocial care in the city of Natal and in RN.
No Brasil, a rede de sa?de mental proposta pela Reforma Psiqui?trica insere os servi?os intermedi?rios e substitutivos, na busca pela aproxima??o ou ressocializa??o do portador de transtorno mental e comportamental junto ? comunidade. Adotou-se, entre outros servi?os, o Centro de Aten??o Psicossocial, Resid?ncia Terap?utica, Lar Abrigado, Hospital-dia, Leito Psiqui?trico em Hospital Geral. Nesse contexto, o Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, implantou o Hospital-Dia Dr. Elger Nunes (HDEN) em Natal/RN no ano de 1996 ligado ? Secretaria Estadual de Sa?de P?blica. No HDEN acontecia um trabalho terap?utico multi e interdisciplinar, al?m de ser palco de pr?ticas disciplinares e projetos de extens?o de cursos em gradua??o de Institui??es de Ensino Superior no munic?pio. Entretanto, com o processo de municipaliza??o dos servi?os locais, o Hospital foi extinto por ato administrativo estadual em 2006, deixando preju?zo para as atividades prestadas aos usu?rios, as pr?ticas disciplinares e as atividades extensionistas. Partindo dessa ruptura, objetivou-se narrar a trajet?ria do HDEN atrav?s dos profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar e dos professores que o utilizaram como campo de pr?ticas disciplinares. Caracteriza-se como estudo documental e qualitativo, respaldado na t?cnica da hist?ria oral tem?tica, seguindo as fases: autoriza??o do colaborador, grava??o da entrevista, transcri??o, a textualiza??o e a transcria??o do material obtido. Utilizaram-se documentos, portarias, relat?rios gerais de atividades, entre outros; somada a realiza??o de entrevistas a quinze colaboradores que utilizaram esse servi?o, sendo treze profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar e dois docentes da gradua??o da ?rea da sa?de, Enfermagem e Medicina. As hist?rias coletadas foram organizadas conforme a t?cnica escolhida, respeitando-se suas etapas. Na prepara??o do corpus submetido ao programa inform?tico ALCESTE, priorizou-se o tom vital para a forma??o das categorias e classes elegida por ele, estruturada sob tr?s eixos tem?ticos. No primeiro eixo denominado Trajet?ria do HDEN rememorou-se o in?cio de suas atividades, os percal?os nesse momento, as atividades desenvolvidas, al?m dos seus atores os usu?rios, familiares, profissionais, e as pr?ticas de ensino. O segundo eixo ocupou-se do Processo de extin??o do HDEN, resgatandose os sentimentos dos colaboradores, as principais justificativas dadas na ?poca e o cen?rio imediato p?s-extin??o. E, o terceiro eixo analisado revelou de forma articulada a situa??o da Sa?de mental em Natal/RN, elencando-se os desafios e perspectivas para a aten??o psicossocial, partindo-se da pr?pria trajet?ria do HDEN com ?nfase nas atividades desenvolvidas. Ademais, a trajet?ria do HDEN propicia o reconhecimento das bases hist?ricas tra?adas na constitui??o da rede de servi?os substitutivos presente no atual cen?rio de aten??o psicossocial do munic?pio de Natal e no RN.

Abstract:
"This study focuses on verifying the emotions and attitudes of pregnant women in social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and gathering information for the organization of psychoeducational support actions online. A questionnaire was prepared on identification, gestational and family history, emotions and attitudes toward social isolation and use of distance communication tools and search for psychological support. Were answered 59 questionnaires. 95% agreed with the social isolation measures. Family relationship conflicts were reported in 54.2%. Changes in emotions were perceived in 91.5%, of which 86.4% associated with the pandemic and 66.1% to pregnancy. The emotion of fear was aroused in 84.7% of the cases, sadness in 45.8%, loneliness in 33.9%, exhaustion in 42.4%, irritation in 50.9%. Positive emotions of solidarity occurred in 28.8%, hope in 27.1% and optimism in 15.3% of the sample. 54.2% think that talking to a psychologist can help. The content of the responses is concerned with quality of life, hygiene habits, and interpersonal relationships, special care for the baby, avoiding visits to babies, need for help with baby care, fear of contagion and going to the hospital, insecurity about returning to work and the absence of government protection measures. It is concluded that psychological support and online psycho education for pregnant women can be a protective factor for the mental health of pregnant women during the pandemic."

Abstract:
"Breast cancer is a major concern in women’s health in Mainland China. Literatures demonstrates that women with breast cancer (WBC) need to pay much effort into resisting stigma and the impact of treatment side-effects; they suffer from overwhelming consequences due to bodily disfigurement and all these experiences will be unbeneficial for their mental and sexual health. However, related studies in this area are rare in China. The objectives of this study are 1) To understand WBC’s treatment experiences, 2) To understand what kinds of support should be contained in a transdisciplinary intervention framework (TIP) for Chinese WBC through the lens that is sensitive to gender, societal, cultural and practical experience. In this study, the feminist participatory action research (FPAR) approach containing the four cyclical processes of action research was adopted. WBC’s stories were collected through oral history, group materials such as drawings, theme songs, poetry, handicraft, storytelling, and public speech content; research team members and peer counselors were involved in the development of the model. This study revealed that WBC faces difficulties returning to the job market and discrimination, oppression and gender stereotypes are commonly found in the whole treatment process. WBC suffered from structural stigma, public stigma, and self-stigma. The research findings revealed that forming a critical timeline for intervention is essential, including stage 1: Stage of suspected breast cancer (SS), stage 2: Stage of diagnosis (SD), stage 3: Stage of treatment and prognosis (ST), and stage 4: Stage of rehabilitation and integration (SRI). Risk factors for coping with breast cancer are treatment side effects, changes to body image, fear of being stigmatized both in social networks and the job market, and lack of personal care during hospitalization. Protective factors for coping with breast cancer are the support of health professionals, spouses, and peers with the same experience, enhancing coping strategies, and reduction of symptom distress; all these are crucial to enhance resistance when fighting breast cancer. Benefit finding is crucial for WBC to rebuild their self-respect and identity. Collaboration is essential between 1) Health and medical care, 2) Medical social work, 3) Peer counselor network, and 4) self-help organization to form the TIF for quality care. The research findings are crucial for China Health Bureau to develop medical social services through a lens that is sensitive to gender, societal, cultural, and practical experiences of breast cancer survivors and their families."

Abstract:
"Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many routine changes to the entire Brazilian population. On mental health, individuals were observed to be increasingly susceptible to developing symptoms such as psychological stress, anxiety, and depression due to social restrictions. The psychosocial factors exerted a fundamental role in the etiology and evolution of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with stress being one of these factors. Objective: To evaluate the self-perceived stress on arterial coronary disease patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Coronary artery disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in the period between February and May 2020 at a reference hospital in cardiology were considered eligible. The patients were interviewed about their self-perceived stress through phone calls from August to December 2020. The clinical characteristics were obtained through the electronic record. The stress was evaluated using a Perceived Stress Scale – PSS-10. Those patients with a score higher than the PSS-10 average (16 points) were considered stressed. The patients were divided into groups with and without stress. The categorical variables were expressed through the frequency and percentage and analyzed by the chi-square test, and the continuous variables were described by average and standard deviation, then compared using a Student's t test. Results: A total of 501 patients were assessed for eligibility, and 200 were included. Forty-nine percent of the patients presented stress symptoms. The stressed patients were frequently younger and had a family history of premature coronary artery disease. The women were more often stressed than the men, even though both groups had a higher prevalence of stressed patients than non-stressed patients. Concerning the PSS-10 questions, the patients with stress were more frequently upset with something unexpected; they felt more often unable to control important matters in their lives, more nervous, and irritated than those without stress. They also referred to the greater difficulty they faced in controlling irritations in their lives. Finally, 50% of the stressed patients also felt very frequently that their problems had accumulated in such a manner that they could not solve them anymore, in comparison to 0.98% in the without-stress group. Conclusion: The patients with arterial coronary disease and self-perceived stress were younger and presented a family history of premature coronary disease. They had less control over their irritations and important issues in their lives, feeling overloaded and incapable of solving their problems compared to those without stress."

Abstract:
Objetivo: Identificar oportunamente la comorbilidad existente entre el abuso de múltiples sustancias y los trastornos mentales, ya que esta situación coloca al paciente psiquiátrico en una situación de vulnerabilidad. Describir la evolución psicopatológica y su correlación con el consumo de sustancias, que condiciona incremento en exacerbaciones clínicas, condicionando cronicidad y empeoramiento paulatino. Material y métodos: Se realizará un reporte de caso mediante el estudio retrospectivo de expediente clínico, el cual abarca 14 internamientos en Hospital Psiquiátrico Fray Bernardino Álvarez y consta de 5 tomos. Se analizará la correlación entre las exacerbaciones del trastorno psiquiátrico de base y el consumo de sustancias. Resultados y conclusiones: Se trata de paciente masculino de 38 años, el cual inicia con consumo de múltiples sustancias desde los 12 años, agregándose a los 18 años síntomas afectivos maníacos y psicóticos, ameritando desde entonces al menos 14 internamientos en Hospital Psiquiátrico Fray Bernardino Álvarez, secundario a errores de juicio y conducta graves, manía, agresividad física indiscriminada, entre otros, en cada una de las hospitalizaciones se establece correlación entre ambas patologías, identificándose plenamente como factor desencadenante de exacerbaciones del trastorno psiquiátrico de base el consumo de sustancias, lo cual aunado a nulo apego al tratamiento y pobre soporte familiar han contribuido a una evolución clínica tórpida. Tras última hospitalización, hace aproximadamente un año, actualmente se encuentra con adecuado apego a tratamiento y seguimiento médico debido a una parcial advertencia de enfermedad, aparentemente sin consumo de sustancias desde su egreso, manteniéndose asintomático, lo cual corrobora la importancia de brindar manejo multidisciplinario tanto al aspecto del consumo de sustancias, como al padecimiento psiquiátrico de base en espera de un mejor pronóstico en la vida del usuario.

Abstract:
Cancer stigma may lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This exploratory, pilot study was conducted in India to explore the degree to which cancer stigma is perceived, experienced, and internalized among adults living with cancer and their primary caregivers. We conducted a survey of cancer patients and their caregivers in two Indian cities. The survey assessed perceived, experienced, and internalized stigma; demographic characteristics; patient cancer history; mental health; and social support. A purposive sample of 20 cancer survivor and caregiver dyads was drawn from an ongoing population-based cohort study. Overall, 85 percent of patients and 75 percent of caregivers reported experiencing some level (i.e., yes response to at least one of the items) of perceived, experienced, or internalized stigma. Both patients (85 percent) and caregivers (65 percent) perceived that community members hold at least one stigmatizing belief or attitude toward people with cancer. About 60 percent of patients reported experiencing stigma, and over one-third of patients and caregivers had internalized stigma. The findings indicate that fatalistic beliefs about cancer are prevalent, and basic education about cancer for the general public, patients, and caregivers is required. Cancer-related stigma in India should continue to be studied to determine and address its prevalence, root causes, and influence on achieving physical and mental health-related outcomes.

EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF CARE FOR NEWBORN HEALTH. Chernivtsi, Ukraine: Higher State Educational Establishment of Ukraine Bukovinian State Medical University, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.24061/2413-4260.ix.3.33.2019.1.

Abstract:
Medical treatment and care for preterm and sick newborn babies in European countries varies greatly. Significant differences are not only limited to the survival rates of such infants. In some European countries, preterm birth is also more commonly associated with chronic physical and mental disability than in others. This effect is exacerbated by the fact that in some parts of Europe, further assistance to these vulnerable children after discharge from the hospital (follow-up and early intervention) is not structured or even does not exist at all. Given the high level of inequality in health care delivery, agreed definitions and clear recommendations for infrastructure, medical processes, care procedures, and staffing capabilities are needed to compare and adjust the conditions of care in Europe. Therefore, there is an absolute need to ensure that high-level care is equally available throughout and for everyone. European standards of care for newborn health, developed on the initiative and under the project of the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI), will help to overcome differences in clinical practice, structure and organization of care, as well as training of healthcare professionals. This publication presents the part of the standards regarding health care for preterm and sick infants.
