Medical students are an at-risk population to develop mental health disorders, especially students in Lebanon who are facing constant additional stress due to the volatile situation in the country. The present study used the APA’s DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure – Adult to screen for psychiatric symptoms in 12 different domains. Out of the sample of 364 students from all universities in Lebanon, only 5.2% had already a psychiatric diagnosis. Of the non-diagnosed subpopulation, a massive percentage of 92.75% screened positive and subsequently, were in need of further mental health evaluation. Roughly half of the participants described the existence of barriers for them to seek mental health services, finances and stigma being major reasons. Predictors of a more severe screen were being from a private university and previously being bullied. The situation in medical schools in Lebanon is profoundly alarming. Shouldn’t the health of future healthcare providers be a priority?

1. Descripción precisa de los objetivos La interocepción incluye procesos mediante los cuales el sistema nervioso detecta, interpreta, e integra información del interior del cuerpo (ej. frecuencia cardiaca). Estos procesos modulan aspectos cognitivos y motivacionales. Recientemente se ha descrito una interocepción disfuncional en numerosas patologías psiquiátricas, incluidos los trastornos adictivos. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es examinar la relación entre la gravedad de psicopatología y la interocepción en sujetos con trastornos por consumo de sustancias. 2. Material y métodos 26 pacientes (15 mujeres; edad media 43 años) diagnosticados de trastornos por consumo de sustancias completaron dos cuestionarios: i) Body Perception Questionnaire (BPQ), que mide la capacidad de sentir cambios fisiológicos corporales (capacidad sensitiva interoceptiva), y el ii) DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom measures (DSM-XC), que evalúa la presencia y gravedad de 13 dominios de salud mental. La puntuación total de estos cuestionarios y sus subescalas se examinaron utilizando correlaciones simples. 3. Resultados y conclusiones Los resultados preliminares de este estudio muestran: que una mayor capacidad para detectar sensaciones corporales internas (capacidad sensitiva interoceptiva; BPQ) correlaciona con i) una mayor gravedad de sintomatología somática, y ii) una mayor gravedad de psicopatología general. Además, iii) a mayor capacidad de detectar sensaciones corporales en la región supradiafragmática, mayor es la gravedad de síntomas maníacos, somáticos, y de ansiedad reflejados en el DSM-XC. Estos resultados son coherentes con la creciente literatura que muestra el papel modulador de la interocepción en patologías psiquiátricas. Éstos indican que una alteración en la capacidad para detectar sensaciones corporales internas está asociada a una peor salud mental. Nosotros extendemos estos resultados a una muestra de pacientes afectos de trastornos por consumo de sustancias. Futuros trabajos pueden considerar estos resultados en el diseño de programas de intervención orientados a restructurar la capacidad sensitiva interoceptiva de estos pacientes.

Psychological distress and psychosocial factors are studied in the sports context in players of various specialties, but are only little studied with coaches who carry out their work with these athletes; that is where we put the emphasis, trying to determine the perception of coaches on psychological distress and psychosocial risk factors that may influence their sports work in times of a pandemic. It is an ex post facto study with a single-group retrospective design, with a representative sample of 94 coaches out of a possible 109. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and the short version of the ISTAS21 Psychosocial Risk Assessment at Work Questionnaire were adapted to the sports context. The results show that the youngest, those with the least experience and level 1 and level 2 coaches show the highest levels of stress. According to the psychosocial risk assessment, level 1 and 2 coaches, with experience between 6 to 10 years, are in the risk zone. Therefore, it is important to work with a group of coaches who are in the psychosocial risk zone and with high levels of psychological discomfort in order to avoid mental, emotional and physical stress, for the good performance of their work in the best possible conditions.
