O presente estudo visa analisar a prevalência de depressão nos profissionais enfermeiros de um Hospital Filantrópico, em Campo Grande/MS, que nunca haviam tido diagnóstico de depressão anteriormente, correlacionando com aspectos sociodemográficos e laborais, como período de trabalho e horas de descanso semanal. Tratou-se de um estudo de caráter quantitativo, aspecto analítico, observacional e transversal, realizado com 89 enfermeiros do Hospital Associação Beneficente Santa Casa de Campo Grande, com início em maio de 2015 e término em novembro de 2016. Para a análise, foram aplicados dois questionários, sendo um de autoria própria (com perfil sociodemográfico, qualidade de vida e de trabalho e saúde mental), e outro validado, representado pelo Inventário de Depressão de Beck, o qual possibilita inferir o diagnóstico de depressão. Dos 89 profissionais enfermeiros, a prevalência de casos de depressão foi de 2 (2,2%), sendo que 9 (11,1%) se mostraram disfóricos e os demais não tiveram alterações relacionadas a tal enfermidade psiquiátrica. Daqueles trabalhadores com depressão, 2 (2,2%) eram do sexo feminino, 2 (2,2%) eram solteiros e 2 (2,2%) exerciam seu trabalho no período vespertino. Houve maior prevalência de depressão nos enfermeiros do sexo feminino, solteiros, que exerciam suas atividades no turno vespertino e possuíam um ou nenhum período de lazer durante a semana.Palavras-chave: Depressão. Enfermagem. Qualidade de Vida. Saúde Mental.AbstractThe present study has as its main objective to analyze the depression prevalence in nurses in a Philantropic Hospital in Campo Grande MS that have never been previously diagnosed with depression correlating with sociodemographic and labor aspects, such as work period and weekly rest hours. This was a quantitative, analytical observational and cross sectional study with 89 nurses from Hospital Associação Beneficente Santa Casa de Campo Grande , that began on May of 2015 and ended on November of 2016. For the analysis two questionnaires were applied, one of the author’s authorship (with sociodemographic profile, quality of life and work and mental health) and another validated, Beck Depression Inventory, which allows to classify depression diagnosis. From 89 nurses, the prevalence of depression cases were 2 nurses (2,2%), and 9 (11,1%) were dysphoric and the others had no relevant alterations. Of those with depression 2 (2,2%) were female, 2 (2,2%) were single and 2 (2,2%) exercised their work in the evening period. There was higher prevalence of depression in female, single nurses that exercised their work in the evening period and had one or no free time during the week.Keywords: Depression. Nursing.

Abstract Background Depression is a chronic non communicable disease. It is a growing public health concern with established links with a number of co-morbidities, including diabetes mellitus. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression at a population level, establish the depression sub-population phenotypic characteristics while exploring for links between depression and a spectrum of glycemic abnormalities. Methods A nationally representative cross-sectional study was conducted in Malta between 2014 and 2016. Participants were categorized into different sub-populations according to their glycaemic status. Depression prevalence rates and phenotypic characteristics for each sub-population were established. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify links with depression. Results Depression was prevalent in 17.15% (CI 95%: 16.01 – 18.36) with a female predominance. Those with known (as opposed to newly diagnosed) diabetes had the highest depression prevalence when compared to other glycemic sub-groups. These also exhibited a significant link with self-reported depression. However, at a population level, depression was mostly prevalent within the normoglycaemic sub-population. Conclusions The study confirms the strong link between diabetes and depression, especially, in a high risk dysglycaemic population. Of public health concern is the high depression occurrence within the normoglycaemic sub-population, which attributed for the majority of the Maltese population. In order to reduce the impact of mental health on the population, physicians may consider implementing depression screening clinical tools as part of their routine health check-ups at primary care level, irrespective of the glycaemic status of their patients.

The study sought to identify possible factors associated with non-attendance at first dental appointments scheduled in 2011 of users living in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, who were referred from primary care to different dental specialties in secondary care within the public health services of the city. A cross-sectional study was conducted based on research in secondary data bases of the public health regulatory system. The dependent variable was "no shows" for scheduled appointments, and the independent variables were age, time on the waiting list, gender, health district, and the specialty to which the individual was referred. Among the 6,428 first dental visits scheduled for 2011 in the specialties selected for analysis, 32.9 % were not performed due to the absence of the user. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant association between non-attendance of the user and the five independent variables. Young adults, male, and resident in given districts who were referred to the specialties of surgery and endodontics and who waited longer on the waiting list exhibited a higher frequency of no-shows.

Background: In the public sector, a sub-health centre (sub-centre) is the most peripheral and first point of contact between the primary health care system and the community. The current level of functioning of the Sub-centres is much below the expectations. Objective: To assess sub-centres of Belagavi District according to Indian public health standards 2012 guidelines.Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted in Belagavi district of Karnataka. forty SCs, four SC from each of the 10 Talukas of Belagavi district were selected by simple random sampling. Study period: 1st January to 31st December 2014. Data collected - using a predesigned and structured questionnaire for IPHS facility survey.Results: The study showed 35% of SCs were catering the services for population as per the norms. Services like ante-natal clinics, post-natal clinics and immunization sessions were conducted regularly in all the SCs. About 33% of SCs had no buildings. A deficiency worth highlighting in the present study was the absence of residential facilities for the staff in half of the SCs. Proper supervision and monitoring of the service delivery activities of the SC staff was done only in 70% of SCs.Conclusions: IPHS guidelines are not being followed at SC level in the district. Recruitment of SC staff especially the Health Worker Male post should be filled at all the SCs for efficient functioning of the SCs. The SC should be periodically surveyed to identify the deficiency and necessary action could be taken to correct it.

Abstract Background: In 2017, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) provided a new guideline for hypertension prevention and management. We aimed to update the prevalence, awareness, control and risk factors of hypertension based on this guideline and to estimate the number of people who are eligible for non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic intervention. Methods: This population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in Khuzestan, a large province in the southwest of Iran. Comprehensive information about the potential risk factors of hypertension was collected and blood pressure, blood biomarkers, and anthropometric were measured. Moreover, the dietary pattern was evaluated in 10% of the participants, using a qualitative food frequency questionnaire.Results: A total number of 30,506 individuals aged 20-65 years was included in this study. In comparison to previous guideline (JNC8), the prevalence of hypertension in Khuzestan dramatically increased by 27.04% after implementation of ACC/AHA (15.81% vs 42.85%), which was more dominant in the male population and the 50-59 age group. The sex and age adjustment of the hypertension prevalence was estimated to be 39.40%. The number of individuals required antihypertensive treatment was slightly increased from 15.53% to 21.18%; however, the level of awareness and control dramatically dropped by 23.17% & 31.78%, respectively. All hypertension-related risk factors remained significant after applying the new guideline; however, the strength of the association was reduced in the risk factors like age, waist-hip ratio, body mass index, alcohol consumption, water pipe usage, and physical activity. Similarity, the association between hypertension and history of diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases were decreased by 38%, and 62%, respectively.Conclusions: In the ACC/AHA guideline, a higher number of individuals with the pre-hypertension condition had been shifted into the hypertension category and the level of awareness, treatment, and control was dramatically fallen, which highlight a great need to expand the public health infrastructure for further managing the substantial increase in the public health burden of hypertension.

Abstract Objective Despite the public health importance of documenting the burden of physical inactivity and weight gain, there is a paucity of such data in Kuwait during the lockdown for Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this survey was designed to estimate: the burden of poor eating habits particularly binge eating habits, fluctuations in weight and its predictors among the Kuwaiti public. Results There was a total of 522 valid respondents, with a mean age of 41.78 (11.75) years. There was a significant increase in weight of respondents during the quarantine (mean difference= -1.13, SD 5.39, t= -4.52, p < 0.001). Those with reporting unhealthy diets were 4.5 times more likely to report an increase in weight. Those reporting having anxiety throughout the day were 2.45 times more likely and those consuming snacks excessively were associated with 3.27 times higher odds of increase in weight than those not consuming it.
