Resumen En los últimos años se han suscitado cambios en la salud mental de las personas, debido a las diversas problemáticas sociodemográficas actuales. Se requiere de la exploración de los acontecimientos que causan síntomas psiquiátricos en las personas con necesidad de ingreso y hospitalización. Es por eso que se realizó este estudio retrospectivo sobre 1.593 historias clínicas del hospital psiquiátrico Main-Kinzig-Kreis Schlüchtern en Alemania durante el período 2000-2014 en pacientes de 18 a 69 años. Se identificó como motivo de ingreso a un 37.16% de personas como pacientes con síntomas agudos, una relación con consumos de sustancias provocadas por adicciones en un 41.62% y el trastorno depresivo en un 28.75%. Se detecta la descompensación de trastornos mentales graves en 27.05%, en donde el 34.71% de los pacientes fueron derivadas desde otros dispositivos asistenciales y el 32.89% decidió ingresar por sí mismo. El perfil del paciente ingresado es de ser hombre entre 41-50 años, casado o con pareja, derivado por recurso asistencial relacionado con la descompensación de un trastorno mental grave. Abstract In recent years, changes have occurred in people's mental health due to various current socio- demographic issues. The exploration of the events that cause psychiatric symptoms in people who need admission and hospitalization is required. That is why this retrospective study was conducted on 1.593 clinical history from the Main-Kinzig-Kreis Schlüchtern psychiatric hospital in Germany during the period 2000-2014 in patients aged 18 to 69. A total of 37.16% of the patients were identified as having acute symptoms, 41.62% as having substance abuse due to addiction and 28.75% as having a depressive disorder. Decompensation of severe mental disorders was detected in 27.05%, where 34.71% of the patients were referred from other care devices and 32.89% decided to be admitted on their own. The profile of the admitted patient is a man between 41-50 years old, married or with a partner, referred to the psychiatric hospital for health care resources due to a decompensation of some serious mental disorder.

Psychiatric Population

Introduction: The opinions and perceptions about smoking in the psychiatric population contribute to the fact that its prevalence in this population remains two or three times higher than that found in other groups.Aims: 1) To compare the opinions of the psychiatric population and general population regarding the smoking ban in mental health services, as well as their perception of mental health professionals’ attitudes in relation to smoking; 2) To identify the association between personal and clinical variables with opinions and perception of attitudes.Methods: This Brazilian cross-sectional epidemiological study took place in: Mental Health Outpatient Unit (n=126), Psychiatric Hospital (n=126) and Primary Health Unit (n=126). Individual interviews were performed using a questionnaire.Results: Most participants believe that smoking ban may aggravate psychiatric symptoms. When comparing the responses of the psychiatric population with those of the general population, it is observed that the two groups have similar opinions regarding the effects of tobacco on psychiatric symptoms and behaviors. The population hospitalized in the psychiatric hospital was the one that most agreed with the perception of the attitudes of professionals working in mental health services towards smoking, possibly due to situations experienced in the psychiatric hospital. Among the personal and clinical variables, the illiterate or those who studied up to primary/junior high school were the ones who most agreed that the smoking ban aggravates psychiatric symptoms.Conclusions: This study contribute to the practice of psychiatric nursing by disclosing the opinions and perceptions of attitudes associated with smoking in mental health services. Introducción: Las opiniones y percepciones acerca del tabaquismo de la población psiquiátrica contribuyen a que su prevalencia, en esa población, sea de dos a tres veces superior a la encontrada en otros grupos.Objetivos: 1) Comparar las opiniones de la población psiquiátrica y de la población general en relación a la prohibición de fumar, en los servicios de salud mental, así como comparar la percepción que tienen de las actitudes de profesionales de salud mental, en relación al tabaquismo; 2) Identificar la asociación entre variables personales y clínicas con las opiniones y percepciones de las actitudes.Método: Este estudio epidemiológico brasileño de corte transversal fue realizado en Ambulatorio de Salud Mental (n=126), en Hospital psiquiátrico (n=126) y en Unidad Básica de Salud (n=126). Fueron realizadas entrevistas individuales usando un cuestionario.Resultados: La mayoría de los participantes cree que los síntomas psiquiátricos pueden agravarse con la prohibición de fumar. Al comparar las respuestas de la población psiquiátrica con la población general, se observó que los dos grupos tienen opiniones similares acerca de los efectos del tabaco en los síntomas psiquiátricos y en el comportamiento. La población internada en el hospital psiquiátrico fue la que más concordó con las afirmaciones relacionadas a las actitudes de los profesionales que trabajan en los servicios de salud mental, en relación al tabaquismo, posiblemente debido a las situaciones que experimentan en el hospital psiquiátrico. Entre las variables personales y clínicas, los analfabetos y los que estudiaron hasta la enseñanza fundamental fueron los que más concordaron que la prohibición de fumar puede agravar los síntomas psiquiátricos.Conclusión: Este estudio contribuye para la práctica de la enfermería psiquiátrica, al revelar las opiniones y percepciones de actitudes relacionadas al tabaquismo, en los servicios de salud mental.

Negative Feelings

Coercive measures have always been part of the psychiatric armamentarium; however, the clinical and ethical dilemma between the use of a “therapeutic” coercion and the loss of patients’ dignity is one of the most controversial issues in mental health practice. According to International guidelines, coercive measures should be adopted only when all the other less restrictive approaches failed and should be considered as the “last restrictive alternative”. Although coercive measures are frequently used to manage patients’ aggressive behaviors and self-harm, refusal of medication and impulsivity, their effect on patients’ outcome is not clear. In fact, the use of coercive measures can reduce patients’ aggressiveness and improve psychiatric symptoms, but can also have a negative impact in terms of therapeutic relationship, engagement with mental health services and self-stigma, arising negative feelings on patients and on mental health professionals. International attempts have been made to improve and harmonize the use of involuntary treatments. Recommendations of good clinical practice on the use of coercive involountary treatments and forced medications have been proposed by the EUNOMIA consortium, and the effect of coercion on the outcome of patients with severe mental disorders have been described. Results of this study will be reported as well as lessons learnt from other international experiences.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

High Psychological Distress

Objective This descriptive study compares rates of high psychological distress and mental disorders between low-income and non-low-income populations in Canada. Methods Data were collected through the Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health and Well-being (CCHS 1.2), which surveyed 36 984 Canadians aged 15 or over; 17.9% (n = 6620) was classified within the low-income population using the Low Income Measure. The K-10 was used to measure psychological distress and the CIDI for assessing mental disorders. Results One out of 5 Canadians reported high psychological distress, and 1 out of 10 reported at least one of the five mental disorders surveyed or substance abuse. Women, single, separated or divorced respondents, non-immigrants and Aboriginal Canadians were more likely to report suffering from psychological distress or from mental disorders and substance abuse. Rates of reported psychological distress and of mental disorders and substance abuse were much higher in low-income populations, and these differences were statistically consistent in most of the sociodemographic strata. Conclusion This study helps determine the vulnerable groups in mental health for which prevention and promotion programs could be designed.
