The present study shows the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish health questionnaire so-called Cuestionario de Salud Docente (CSD) for the Brazilian context with regard to the following variables: welfare (satisfaction and self-efficacy), and malaise (musculoskeletal dysfunctions, cognitive dysfunctions, breakdown and vocal cord dysfunctions). Some stages were performed to ensure the quality of translation and adaptation of the CSD with regard to semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence between the original items and the translated ones. The final sample of the pilot study consisted of 697 teachers, 168 men and 529 women, aged between 18 and 52 years, working in 03 infant education centers, 9 Elementary schools from the 1st to 5th grade, and 04 Elementary schools from the 6th to 9th grade, and High School. Kappa test was used for assessing the temporal stability of the scores, and Cronbach's alpha test for the internal consistency of the dimensions and overall evaluation of the instrument. A satisfactory correlation between them was seen. As a measuring instrument, the questionnaire is considered reliable to evaluate teachers’ health, in addition to containing guidelines for further studies on welfare and malaise variables of Brazilian teachers.

RESUMO Compreendendo a Educação ambiental crítica como potencializadora do diálogo de saberes, da valorização e do fortalecimento comunitário, este texto traz o relato da experiência de um projeto de extensão, atualmente em curso, desenvolvido junto às comunidades das Ilhas do litoral paranaense atendidas por Escolas do Campo. Tem-se a escola como um espaço no qual é necessário criar situações que possibilitem o aprofundamento de temáticas oriundas das realidades socioambientais locais. Durante a primeira fase do projeto foi realizado um diagnóstico participativo nas nove escolas de Ensino Fundamental (de Sexto a Nono Ano) e Médio em funcionamento nas ilhas do Paraná. Foi possível identificar as principais problemáticas e interesses locais, assim como as demandas que possibilitam adequar a proposta formativa a cada realidade. Verificou-se que o professor, como mediador do processo educativo, necessita articular o currículo com a prática social dos estudantes e das comunidades. Para tanto, o projeto prevê a construção coletiva de materiais didáticos que contemplem a realidade socioambiental de cada região, assim como os saberes e fazeres locais aliados ao currículo. Palavras Chave: Educação ambiental crítica; Educação do campo; Oceanografia socioambiental; Saberes e fazeres do mar; Formação continuada; Extensão universitária. ABSTRACT Understanding Critical Environmental Education as a potentiator of the dialogue of knowledge, valorization and community empowerment, this text presents the experience of an extension project, currently underway, developed with the communities of the Parana Coastal Islands served by Rural Schools. The school is understood as a space in which it is necessary to create situations that allow the deepening of themes from the local socio-environmental realities. During the first phase of the project, a participatory diagnosis was carried out in the nine elementary schools (from 6th to 9th grade) and high schools operating in the islands of Paraná. It was possible to identify the main issues and local interests, as well as the demands that make it possible to adapt the formative proposal to each reality. It was found that the teacher, as a mediator of the educational process, needs to articulate the curriculum with the social practice of students and communities. To this end, the project foresees the collective construction of didactic materials that contemplate the socio-environmental reality of each region, as well as local knowledge and practices combined with the curriculum. Keywords: Critical environmental education; Rural education; Socioenvironmental oceanography; Knowledge and practices of the sea; Continuing formation; University extension.

ObjectiveOriginally, the General Health Questionnaire (= GHQ) was designed to detect mental disorders among general medical outpatients and in community. The aim of the present survey is to compare the criterion validity indices of three different GHQ versions among general hospital inpatients when using different scoring methods.MethodThe GHQ-30 was filled in by inpatients prior to the research interview. For psychiatric case-identifiation the Clinical Interview Schedule was performed by three research psychiatrists.ResultsThe final sample consisted of 993 inpatients. When comparing the three different GHQ-versions, no significant differences were found in OMR and ROC-AUC as well as in sensitivity (0,612–0,701) and specificity (0,601–0759). When comparing the four scoring methods no significant differences were found in sensitivity. By contrast, OMR and specificity showed better indices for the 20 item and 12 item GHQ versions when using the bimodal and modified Lickert scoring method. Further, the Lickert scoring method showed no significant differences to the other scoring methods for the GHQ-30, where as the modified Lickert and the bimodal method showed lower OMR and higher specificity compared to the chronic method.ConclusionDue to the results of this survey, the future use of the chronic scoring method for the GHQ has to be questioned when used for general hospital inpatients.

Key Competencies

The article deals with the question whether the new reform of education will bring a better and more effective learning process for pupils involved in the development of life skills (key competencies) which are critical these days. Th e author compares the results of the education process in the fi eld of key competencies included in two education programmes at elementary schools following in close succession - the „Elementary School Programme“ and „General Education Programme for Basic Education” and/or “Th e School Education Programme”. Th e research was conducted in the year 2009 when the last 9th grade pupils were instructed according to the Primary School Programme while 14 pilot schools throughout the Czech Republic implemented and tested the fourth year of teaching according to their own education programmes. For the comparison of the above mentioned education programmes an empirical method of non-standardized questionnaire was selected. Th e non-standardized questionnaire was based on a research and scientifi c Key Competencies Questionnaire supplied by the SCIO organization. Testing the diff erences between the programmes in particular items was carried out using the Pearson’s chi-square test of contingency tables. Results showed insignifi cant diff erences in the respective questionnaire items, therefore, education programmes must pass through a long evaluation and assessment process to meet expected targets. Th e fi nal section of the article is focused on the assessment of problems with introducing the General Education Programme for Basic Education to school syllables. Th e author presents recommendations for teachers at elementary schools and for academic staff preparing future teachers at universities.

The aim of this study was to assess the homogeneity of items, reliability as a metric indicator of global quality (internal consistency and temporal stability), and the exploratory factor structure of the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) in a sample of 2,010 Spanish adolescents. Mean age was 15.9 yr. (range 14-19, SD = 2.1). The test was administered twice with 20 days between responses. Answers were scored on a Likert-type scale. The internal consistency and test-retest reliabilities obtained were .93 and .94. In exploratory factor analysis, four factors explained 52.7% of the variance. These results indicated that the GHQ-28 is a psychometrically sound mental health measure in Spanish adolescents.

Hintergrund: Gegenüberstellende epidemiologische Studien zur psychischen Gesundheit bei verschiedenen Migrantengruppen in Deutschland fehlen weitgehend. Sie sind jedoch von großer Wichtigkeit, um den Therapiebedarf für diese Gruppen zu bestimmen und Angebote entsprechend auszurichten. Die vorliegende Studie möchte die Ausprägung einer depressiven, somatoformen und angstbezogenen Symptomatik bei osteuropäischen, türkischen und Migranten aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion in der Allgemeinbevölkerung miteinander vergleichen und untersuchen, ob es Unterschiede in der Bereitschaft gibt, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Methode: 43 osteuropäische Migranten (beide Eltern in Polen, Rumänien, Slowakischer Republik, Tschechischer Republik oder Ungarn geboren), 49 Migranten aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion (beide Eltern in Russland, Ukraine, Weißrussland oder Kasachstan geboren; Russlanddeutsche Personen fallen auch in diese Gruppe) und 42 Personen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund wurden mit dem Patient-Health-Questionnaire auf depressive, somatoforme und angstbezogene Symptome untersucht und mit einem Fragebogen zu ihrer Bereitschaft befragt, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Die Gruppen wurden mit Varianzanalysen unter Kontrolle möglicher konfundierender Variablen miteinander verglichen. Ergebnisse: Unter Kontrolle von Geschlecht, Alter, Partnerschaft und Erwerbstätigkeit zeigten sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede in depressiver, somatoformer und ängstlicher Symptomatik zwischen den drei Gruppen. Unter Kontrolle für Alter und Geschlecht zeigten sich ebenfalls keine Unterschiede in der Bereitschaft, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Frauen berichteten mehr somatoforme Beschwerden als Männer und zeigten eine höhere Bereitschaft, einen Arzt zu konsultieren. Diskussion: Es lassen sich keine kulturellen Einflüsse in Bezug auf die psychische Gesundheit und den Umgang mit verschiedenen Beschwerden bei diesen eher gut integrierten Migranten feststellen. Weitere Studien zu dieser Fragestellung mit größeren Stichproben und unter Einbezug schlechter Deutsch sprechender Migranten wären wünschenswert.

Vergleichende Untersuchungen

Zusammenfassung. Studien in der Allgemeinbevölkerung zeigen uneinheitliche Ergebnisse bezüglich häufigerer Somatisierung bei Migranten. Vergleichende Untersuchungen fanden bei depressiven Patienten ostasiatischer Herkunft geringere Angaben von psychologischen Symptomen und häufigere somatische Beschwerden, als bei Patienten westlicher Herkunft. Aufgrund einer geringen Inanspruchnahme psychiatrischer Versorgungsangebote in Deutschland, insbesondere durch vietnamesische Migranten der ersten Generation, existieren bisher keine Studien zu einer psychischen und somatischen Symptomausprägung bei Patienten vietnamesischer Herkunft im Vergleich zu deutschen Patienten ohne Migrationshintergrund. Im Kontext kultursensibler Diagnostik von Migranten in Deutschland wurde als ausreichend messäquivalentes Selbstbeurteilungsinstrument insbesondere der Patient Health Questionnaire bzw. der Gesundheitsfragebogen für Patienten als ein valides und einfach verwendbares Instrument für eine Erfassung von Symptomen und Schweregraden häufiger psychischer Störungen, wie der Depression empfohlen. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden bei 66 vietnamesischen Patientinnen der ersten Generation und 83 deutschen Patientinnen während des erstmaligen psychiatrischen Kontaktes psychische Symptome einer Depression mittels des PHQ-9 und somatische Symptome mittels des PHQ-15 in der jeweiligen Muttersprache erfasst. Für beide Gruppen fand sich für beide Instrumente eine zufriedenstellende interne Konsistenz. Ein möglicher Zusammenhang zwischen der Herkunft und dem Schweregrad der Ausprägung psychischer depressiver und somatischer Symptome bei diagnostizierter depressiver Episode erfolgte mittels einer multivariaten Analyse. Für die Selbstbeurteilung mittels des PHQ-9 fanden sich keine Gruppenunterschiede hinsichtlich des Gesamtsummenwertes und des Schweregrades psychischer depressiver Symptome. Dagegen berichteten vietnamesische Patientinnen in der Selbstwahrnehmung anhand des PHQ-15 von einem insgesamt höheren Schweregrad von somatischen Symptomen. Insbesondere waren bei depressiven vietnamesischen Patientinnen die Mittelwerte der Einzelitems Kopfschmerzen, Glieder- und Gelenkschmerzen, Schmerzen im Brustbereich sowie Schwindel und Ohnmachtsanfälle gegenüber deutschen Patientinnen deutlich erhöht. Entgegen der Untersuchungshypothese und früherer Studien ging die häufigere Selbstbeurteilung oder Aufmerksamkeit auf somatische Symptome bei vietnamesischen Patientinnen nicht mit einer verminderten Eigenwahrnehmung von psychischen Symptomen einer depressiven Episode anhand des PHQ-9 einher.
