ABSTRACT

Background General Hospital Psychiatric Units have a fundamental importance in the mental health care systems. However, there is a lack of studies regarding the level of improvement of patients in this type of facility. Objective To assess factors related to good and poor outcomes in psychiatric inpatients using an index composed by clinical parameters easily measured. Methods Length of stay (LOS), Global Assessment of Functioning (variation and at discharge) and Clinical Global Impression (severity and improvement) were used to build a ten-point improvement index (I-Index). Records of psychiatric inpatients of a general hospital during an 18-month period were analyzed. Three groups (poor, intermediate and good outcomes) were compared by univariate and multivariate models according to clinical and sociodemographic variables. Results Two hundred and fifty patients were included, with a percentage in the groups with poor, regular and good outcomes of 16.4%, 59,6% and 24.0% respectively. Poor outcome at the discharge was associated mainly with lower education, transient disability, antipsychotics use, chief complaint “behavioral change/aggressiveness” and psychotic features. Multivariate analysis found a higher OR for diagnoses of “psychotic disorders” and “personality disorders” and others variables in relation to protective categories in the poor outcome group compared to the good outcome group. Discussion Our I-Index proved to be an indicator of that allows an easy and more comprehensive evaluation to assess outcomes of inpatients than just LOS. Different interventions addressed to conditions such as psychotic disorders and disruptive chief complaints are necessary.

ABSTRACT

: O transtorno Obsessivo-Compulsivo (TOC), caracterizado por obsessões (pensamentos e idéias intrusivas e recorrentes) e compulsões (comportamentos repetitivos), é o quarto diagnóstico psiquiátrico mais comum. Devido a essa relevância, o capitulo a seguir faz uma breve revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema em geral, abrangendo seções didaticamente divididas.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste trabalho é comparar o perfil dos idosos que participaram de sessões de aconselhamento após a aquisição da prótese auditiva em um centro auditivo de Curitiba (PR), com aqueles que não retornaram após a primeira ou segunda sessão de aconselhamento. MÉTODOS: Fizeram parte deste estudo 45 idosos com presbiacusia que adquiriram prótese auditiva em um centro auditivo de Curitiba (PR). A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: o Grupo 1, Controle, composto por 30 idosos que participaram de cinco sessões de aconselhamento após o recebimento da prótese, e o Grupo 2, Experimental, formado por 15 idosos que participaram somente da primeira e/ou segunda reunião de aconselhamento. Foram utilizadas as perguntas do protocolo de entrevista inicial, para o levantamento dos dados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas diferenças entre o perfil do Grupo 1 e do 2. Dos 11 aspectos levantados, houve diferenças em oito deles, no que se refere a: antecedentes familiares de perda auditiva, usuários antigos de aparelhos auditivos, grau da perda, estado emocional, relacionamento familiar, vida social, privações decorrentes da deficiência e habilidades de manuseio da prótese auditiva. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo mostra que o grupo que participou de todas as sessões tem um perfil diferente daquele que só participou do primeiro e/ou segundo encontro, sendo que os aspectos levantados parecem ter influenciado na decisão dos integrantes do segundo grupo de continuar as sessões de aconselhamento.


PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the profile of elderly people who participated in five counseling sessions after the purchase of hearing aids in an auditory center of Curitiba (PR), to that of those who did not return after the first or second session. METHODS: Forty five elderly subjects with presbycusis from an auditoy center of Curitiba (PR) participated in this study. The sample was divided into two groups: Group 1, Control, composed by 30 individuals who participated in the five counseling sessions; and Group 2, Experimental, constituted by 15 individuals who participated only in the first and/or second session. The questions of the initial interview were used for gathering these data. RESULTS: Differences were found between the profiles of both groups. From the eleven aspects raised, there were differences in eight of them, regarding: family history of hearing loss, former users of hearing aids, degree of hearing loss, emotional state, family relations, social life, deprivations arising from the hearing loss, and abilities in handling the hearing aids. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that the group that participated in all counseling sessions presented a different profile from that who only participated in the first and/or second meeting, and that the issues raised seem to have influenced the decision of the members of the second group to continue participating in the sessions.
