Standardization of the MaristÁN scale to measure needs in people with schizophrenia and related psychoses
OBJECTIVE: Existing measures of needs in severe mental illness have been developed mainly from professionals' viewpoints and are Eurocentric. Our aim was to standardize a measure of the needs of people with schizophrenia across several cultures and based on users' own viewpoints. METHOD: An instrument to measure needs, based on qualitative data on users', carers' and professionals' views, was tested in 164 people with schizophrenia or related psy…
The impact of psychological abuse on somatic symptoms: A study of older persons aged 60-84 years
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine differences in the experience of somatic symptoms by domain (exhaustion, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, heart distress) between psychologically abused and non-abused older persons, and to scrutinize associations between abuse and somatic symptoms while considering other factors (e.g. social support). Design/methodology/approach – The design was cross-sectional. The participants were 4,467 wome…
Depression, anxiety and physical function: Exploring the strength of causality
BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety and physical function may be bi-directionally related. We aim to estimate the strength of the longitudinal associations between depression, anxiety and physical function. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of general practice attendees across Europe (N=4757) assessed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Main outcome measures were Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV major depression, Patient Health …
Cuidado en salud mental: Percepción de personas con esquizofrenia y sus cuidadores
El presente trabajo pretende conocer la percepción de personas que sufren esquizofrenia y de sus cuidadores respecto a los cuidados ofrecidos por profesionales y servicios de salud en distintos contextos socioculturales. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo con grupos focales. Los participantes (303 individuos) provenían de servicios primarios y secundarios de salud de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, España, Inglaterra y Venezuela. Los datos fueron explo…
Cuestiones existenciales en la esquizofrenia: Percepción de portadores y cuidadores
OBJETIVO: Examinar los temas y cuestiones existenciales del cotidiano de personas con esquizofrenia y de sus cuidadores. MÉTODOS: Estudio cualitativo con grupos focales. Fueron incluidos 146 sujetos con esquizofrenia (55% hombres) y 80 cuidadores (75% mujeres) que provenían de servicios primarios y secundarios de salud de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, España, Inglaterra y Venezuela. Cada grupo tenía de 6 a 10 participantes. Los datos fueron explorado…
Psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition in a longitudinal study of major depression in primary care: The predictD-Spain study
BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the psychosocial factors associated with attrition in longitudinal surveys. This study was undertaken to determine psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition from a longitudinal study of the onset and persistence of episodes of major depression in primary care. METHODS: A systematic random sample of general practice attendees was recruited in seven Spanish provinces between October 2005 and February 20…
Predicting the onset and persistence of episodes of depression in primary health care. The predictD-Spain study: Methodology
The items and questionnaires were reliable and data quality control was excellent. When we eventually obtain our risk index for the onset and persistence of depression, we will be able to determine the individual risk of each patient evaluated in primary health care
Prediction of depression in European general practice attendees: The PREDICT study
Response rate to follow-up in all countries was uniformly high, which suggests that prediction will be based on almost a full cohort. The results of our reliability analysis are encouraging and suggest that data collected during the course of PREDICT will have a satisfactory level of stability. The development of a multi-factor risk score for depression will lay the foundation for future research on risk reduction in primary care. Our data will a…
