ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mental status of the infertile men and explore the risk factors for the mental disorders.METHODS: Men with perceived male infertility were divided into two groups(mild or severe)according to their severity of semen quality from Aug. 2015 to Feb. 2016 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.Their mental health was assessed with the symptom check list(SCL-90).Multiple Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors of the mental disorders.RESULTS: The SCL-90 total score,somatization factor score,depression factor score,anxiety factor score and psychoticism factor score of the poor semen quality group were significantly higher than those of the group with better semen quality(P<0.05).RESULTS: of the Logistic regression analysis showed that the general risk factors for mental disorders in infertile men were irregular daily life,irregular meals,lack of regular exercise,recent experience of significant adverse events and poor semen quality.Among them,poor semen quality was the risk factor for the anxiety factor,while the risk factors for depression were irregular daily life,lack of regular exercise and recent experience of significant adverse events.CONCLUSION: Men with perceived male infertility tend to have more severe psychological disorders when their semen quality is poor.Men who do not have regular daily life,meals or exercise,or who have recently experienced significant adverse events or who have poorer semen quality are more prone to mental disorders.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: Los indígenas son el 5% de la población mundial y un tercio de la población pobre del mundo. Se han observado tasas de alcoholismo, abuso de sustancias, problemas y trastornos mentales más altos que en la población general. Métodos: Análisis de los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Mental 2015. En esta se preguntó el autorreconocimiento como indígena de acuerdo con la cultura, el pueblo o los rasgos físicos. Resultados: Se encuestó a 902 indígenas, que corresponden al 8,3% de la población adulta encuestada, localizados mayoritariamente en el Pacífico (39,5%), la Región Atlántica (23,7%) y Oriental (20%). Reporta estado de pobreza el 26,6%, solo el 31,7% habla la lengua de su pueblo y el 17,8% informa desplazamiento por la violencia. El 42,9% define salud mental como «tener buena salud física, comer, dormir, descansar¼. Respecto a problemas y trastornos mentales, un 8% reporta consumo excesivo de alcohol y el 7,9%, consumo de riesgo. Respecto a posible psicopatología general medida con el SRQ, se presentan síntomas en el 8,1% de la población abordada; las prevalencias de vida de los trastornos mentales ansiosos y depresivos alcanzaron el 6,7% de las mujeres y el 8,4% de los varones, y los factores asociados que muestran mayor riesgo son la edad de 18-44 años, no hablar la lengua de su pueblo, vivir en Bogotá, en área urbana, y consumir sustancias psicoactivas y cigarrillo. Conclusiones: Las personas que se reconocen como indígenas presentan altas tasas de desplazamiento por violencia y reportan problemas y trastornos mentales frecuentes que se asocian con factores compatibles con pérdida de rasgos culturales propios.
Abstract Background: Indigenous people represent 5% of the world population and one-third of the poor ones. Alcoholism rates, substance abuse problems, and mental disorders are shown to be higher than the general population. Methods: An analysis was made of the data from the National Mental Health Survey 2015. In this survey, it was asked if self-recognition as a native was according to the culture, the people, or physical features. Results: A total of 902 indigenous people were surveyed, corresponding to 8.3% of the surveyed adult population. The majority (39.5%) lived in the Pacific region, with 23.7% Atlantic region, and 20% in the Eastern region More than one-quarter (26.6%) reported a status of poverty, 31.7% spoke the language of their people, and 17.8% reported displacement due to violence. Mental health was defined as, "having good physical health, to eat, sleep and rest, by 42.9%. As regards problems and mental disorders, 8% reported excessive consumption and 7.9% a risk consumption of alcohol. As regards general psychopathology, measured by the (Self-reporting questionnaire) SRQ, 8.1% of the population had symptoms. The life prevalences of anxiety and depressive mental disorders were reported by 6.7% women and 8.4% men, and the associated risk factors that show higher risk were: aged between 18 to 44 years, not speaking the language of their people, living in Bogota, living in urban areas, and consuming psychoactive substances and tobacco. Conclusions: People who recognised themselves as indigenous have higher rates of displacement by violence, report problems and common mental disorders that are associated with factors consistent with loss of cultural characteristics.
