Objetivo: Desarrollar, implementar y evaluar un programa de prevención del suicidio dirigido a adolescentes.Materiales y Métodos: Estudio cuasi experimental, del tipo antes y después, con adolescentes de una institución educativa en São Luís, Maranhão, Brasil. El estudio siguió las etapas de desarrollo, implementación y evaluación de un programa de intervención para la prevención del suicidio. Se administraron tres instrumentos de evaluación antes y después de la intervención: la escala de ideación suicida de Beck; el Inventario de Depresión de Beck y la Escala de Desesperanza de Beck.Resultados: Antes de la intervención, participaron 102 adolescentes, 30 (29.4%) tenían ideación suicida y síntomas depresivos. Después de la intervención, los instrumentos se aplicaron a los 30 adolescentes seleccionados, 12 (40.0%) continuaron con la ideación. Antes de la intervención, el Inventario de depresión promedio fue de 23.83 y luego de 7.17 (p <0.0001). En cuanto a la desesperanza, el promedio obtenido antes fue 7.23 y luego 2.17 (p <0.0001); Con respecto a la ideación suicida, el promedio obtenido antes fue de 10.50 y luego de 2.57 (p <0.0001).Conclusión: Hubo una disminución en los síntomas depresivos, la desesperanza y la ideación suicida después de la implementación del elaborado programa de intervención. Objective: To develop, implement and evaluate a suicide prevention program aimed at adolescents.Material and Methods: A quasi-experimental study, before and after, with adolescents from an educational institution in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. The study followed the stages of development, implementation and evaluation of a suicide prevention intervention program. Three assessment instruments were administered before and after the intervention: Beck's Suicidal Ideation Scale; Beck's Depression Inventory and Beck's Hopelessness Scale. Results: Before the intervention, 102 adolescents participated, 30 (29.4%) had suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms. After the intervention the instruments were applied to the 30 selected adolescents, 12 (40.0%) continued with ideation. Prior to intervention, the average Depression Inventory was 23.83 and then 7.17 (p <0.0001). As for hopelessness, the average obtained before was 7.23 and then 2.17 (p <0.0001); Regarding suicidal ideation, the average obtained before was 10.50 and then 2.57 (p <0.0001). Conclusion: There was a decrease in depressive symptoms, hopelessness and suicidal ideation after the implementation of the elaborated intervention program.

Perinatal Depressive Symptoms

Abstract BackgroundDuring the perinatal period women lack screening and treatments for perinatal depressive symptoms, while public health professionals (PHPs) in primary care centres (PCCs) need training for identification and management of such symptoms. This quasi-experimental study was aimed at evaluating knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among PHPs after participating in a Knowledge, Attitude, and Self-efficacy (KAS) program for identification and management of perinatal depressive symptoms.MethodThe KAS-program, carried through in Sakonnakhon in north-eastern Thailand, comprised one day of theory and a four-week period of field practice. Thirty-three PHPs from PCCs participated in the program. Twenty-three of them participated in focus group discussions (FGDs). Chi-square for trend, paired-sample T-tests and content analysis were used.ResultsKnowledge, attitude and self-efficacy scores increased after the PHPs had fully participated in the KAS-program. Four categories emerged from the FGDs: increased understanding and knowledge, being aware and having a positive attitude, having confidence and ability to work, and need of regular training and feedback.ConclusionThe KAS-program might contribute to giving PHPs in PCCs the knowledge, positive attitude and self-efficacy they need to identify and manage perinatal depressive symptoms. Implementation of the KAS-program to other healthcare professionals such as nurses/midwives is great of interest.

Experimental Use

AbstractWe report experimental use of a new device for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects. The device was implanted in surgically created atrial septal defects in two pigs. The devices were easy to implant, and the procedures were short. Both devices were implanted correctly in the desired position, and closed the defect completely. No procedural complications nor problems were encountered. The technique is certainly worth trying in the clinical setting. The device appears to be particularly favourable for use in children because it can be implanted through a 7 French sheath.
