Social support network, functional capacity and mental health in older adults / Rede de suporte social, capacidade funcional e saúde mental em pessoas idosas / Red de apoyo social, capacidad funcional y salud mental en personas mayores

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the social networks of older adults and to assess associations between social support, functional capacity and mental health. The sample consisted of 134 community-dwelling older adults, assessed in terms of their social network through the Minimum Map of Older Adult Relationships; functional capacity for performance in activities of daily living; depressive symptoms, assessed through the Geriatric Depression Scale and; anxiety, assessed through the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Cluster analyses were performed. The social network was characterized by being informal, functioning as affective support that occurs through visits. Social support perceived as insufficient was more frequent in men, in those who were dependent regarding instrumental activities of daily living, and in those with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Reduced social support networks and lack of support were associated with limitations in functional capacity and worse mental health, sparking debate about the centrality of the family in the provision of support.(AU)

Este estudo objetivou descrever as características da rede social de pessoas idosas e avaliar associações entre apoio social, capacidade funcional e saúde mental. A amostra foi composta por 134 idosos comunitários, avaliados quanto à rede social pelo Mapa Mínimo das Relações do Idoso; capacidade funcional pelo desempenho em atividades de vida diária; sintomas depressivos, avaliados pela Escala de Depressão Geriátrica e; ansiedade, avaliada pelo Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck. Foram realizadas análises de conglomerados. A rede social caracterizou-se por ser informal, funcionando como suporte afetivo que ocorre por meio de visitas. O apoio social percebido como insuficiente foi mais frequente no sexo masculino, entre idosos dependentes em atividades instrumentais de vida diária, com ansiedade e sintomas depressivos. Redes de suporte social reduzidas e com baixo apoio estão associadas com limitações na capacidade funcional e pior saúde mental, colocando em debate a centralidade da família na provisão de suporte.(AU)

Impacto psicossocial da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde mental de pessoas transexuais e travestis: revisão integrativa / Psychosocial impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health of transgender and transvestite people: integrative review / Impacto psicosocial de COVID-19 en la salud mental de las personas transgénero y travestis: revisión integrativa

Este estudo objetivou identificar, analisar e integrar resultados de estudos que examinaram o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde mental de pessoas transexuais e travestis. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, em conformidade com as diretrizes PRISMA. Conduziu-se uma busca sistemática dos estudos primários publicados em três bases de dados: PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS e PsycINFO. Foram incluídos oito estudos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. A análise temática do material gerou seis categorias temáticas. Os estudos analisados apontaram que a situação de vulnerabilidade social ao qual as pessoas trans encontram-se submetidas no cotidiano foi ampliada durante a pandemia. A necessidade do distanciamento físico resultou no aumento de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, agravamento das condições econômicas, dificuldades para acessar procedimentos e medicamentos que compõem o processo de afirmação de gênero, além de exacerbar conflitos familiares e manifestações de transfobia. Há necessidade de implementar políticas públicas e uma rede de proteção social para diminuir a vulnerabilidade e sofrimento psicossocial de pessoas trans. (AU)

This study aimed to identify, analyze, and integrate findings from studies that examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of transgender and transvestite individuals. An integrative literature review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of primary studies was conducted across three databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, and PsycINFO. Eight studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. Thematic analysis of the material generated six thematic categories. The studies analyzed pointed out that the situation of social vulnerability faced by trans people in their daily lives intensified during the pandemic. The need for physical distancing led to increased symptoms of anxiety and depression, worsening economic conditions, and difficulties in accessing procedures and medications that make up the gender affirmation process, in addition to exacerbating family conflicts and manifestations of transphobia. Therefore, there is a need to implement public policies and a social protection network to reduce the vulnerability and psychosocial suffering of the transgender and transvestite community. (AU)

Para observar cómo las variables Miedo a la muerte, Espiritualidad y Religiosidad influyen en la posibilidad de desarrollar síntomas de depresión en la población de trabajadores de la salud, se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, transversal y de regresión en una población de 200 trabajadores de la salud, siendo el Miedo a la muerte la variable explicativa más relevante, seguida de la Religiosidad y la Espiritualidad respectivamente para entender el modelo AU

Associação entre atividade física e saúde mental durante a pandemia COVID-19: um estudo transversal / Association between physical activity and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a associação entre níveis de atividade física e sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Foi elaborado um questionário online no Google Forms® com questões objetivas e abertas para avaliar as questões relacionadas à prática de atividade física e saúde mental durante o período da pandemia da COVID-19. O formulário incluiu perguntas relacionadas a aspectos sociodemográficos, nível de atividade física (IPAQ ­versão curta) e análise da saúde mental dos participantes com as escalas de Ansiedade e Depressão de Beck. A associação entre atividade física e saúde mental foi estimada por meio de modelos de regressão. Cento e noventa e três pessoas responderam ao questionário (59% do sexo feminino). As mulheres apresentaram maiores níveis de ansiedade e depressão quando comparadas aos homens (p < 0,001 para todos os domínios). O risco de ter sintomas graves de ansiedade e depressivos aumentou respectivamente (OR = 4,20; IC95%: 1,25 - 14,11), e (OR = 3,16; IC95%: 1,12 - 8,91) nos participantes classificados com nível baixo de atividade física quando comparados aos quem mantêm o nível mais alto. Os homens têm menos chances de terem sintomas de ansiedade (OR= 0,23; IC95%: 0,10 - 0,55 p < 0,001) e depressão (OR = 0,33 IC95%: 0,12 - 0,88). Em suma, pode-se concluir que, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, os participantes que obtiveram alto nível de atividade física têm menos chances de apresentar sintomas graves de ansiedade e moderado de depressão

he aim of the present study was to investigate the cross-sectional association between levels of physical activity and symptoms of anxiety and depression. An online questionnaire was prepared on Google Forms® with objective and open questions to evaluate the issues related to physical activity and mental health during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The form included questions related to sociodemographic aspects, physical activity level (IPAQ ­ short version) and analysis of the participants' mental health using the Beck Anxiety and Depression scales. The association between physical activity and mental health was estimated using regression models. One hundred and ninety-three people responded to the questionnaire (59% female). Women had higher levels of anxiety and depression when compared to men (p < 0.001 for all domains). The risk of having severe anxiety and depressive symptoms increased respectively (OR = 4.20; 95%CI: 1.25 - 14.11), and (OR = 3.16; 95%CI: 1.12 - 8.91) in participants classified as having a low level of physical ac-tivity when compared to those who maintain the highest level. Men are less likely to have anxiety symptoms (OR = 0.23; 95%CI: 0.10 - 0.55) and depression (OR = 0.33; 95%CI: 0.12 - 0.88). In summary, it can be concluded that participants who achieved a high level of physical activity are less likely to have symptoms of severe anxiety and moderate symptoms of depression

INTRODUCTION: Depression is a common mental health problem in adolescence, manifested by poor mood, sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. Adolescents are especially susceptible to depression due to the great biopsychosocial changes in this stage of life. OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors and protective factors associated with adolescent depression that are evidence-based. METHODOLOGY: a bibliographic search was carried out in the WoS, PUBMED, Scopus, and VHL databases. Standardized descriptors used to conduct the search included Adolescent AND protective factors OR risk factors AND depression. 38 articles were selected. RESULTS: 38 factors were identified, classified as risky and protective, and grouped into the following dimensions: a) biological: gender, age, BMI, health problems; b) psychological: negative or positive affection, negative thoughts, satisfaction with body image, stress, alexhythemia, quality of life, self-regulation, self-esteem; and c) social, subdivided into three groups: c.1) habits, physical activity, consumption of harmful substances, screen addiction, lifestyle that needs to be improved, sexual activity, community participation, sleep duration, academic performance; c.2) family context: experiences, parent-child relationship, composition, socioeconomic level, functionality, educational level of parents; and c.3) environmental:: social support, bullying, exposure to violence, belonging to an urban school, negative life events, school involvement, neighborhood with green areas and health literacy.

Knowledge of these factors by the nurse is essential to guide interventions.

Actividades físico-recreativas e integración social en el adulto mayor / Physical-recreational activities and social integration in the elderly

Introducción: La integración social es un proceso dinámico que mejora la inclusión de sujetos en riesgos de exclusión, requiriendo de estrategias especializadas, como pueden ser los programas aplicados de actividad física. Objetivo: Valorar los efectos de la actividad física en la integración social del adulto mayor jubilado de la Espoch. Métodos: Se estudian a 34 exservidores públicos jubilados de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (Espoch), con un nivel moderado auto percibido de depresión/ansiedad, sometiéndolos a un proceso de intervención con actividades físico-recreativas que incluyen 7 unidades con sesiones de 90min. Los adultos mayores fueron evaluados con la Escala Auto Aplicada de Adaptación Social-SASS en dos momentos del proceso de intervención. Resultados: El pretest determinó una media de 2.24puntos (≈2: Desadaptación social patente), incrementándose el puntaje promedio como parte del posttest a 2.76 (≈3: Normalidad), existiendo diferencias significativas a favor del posttest (p=0.000). Conclusiones: Se demuestra un incremento de la adaptación social basada en un equilibrio de los niveles de integración con el entorno conocido (universidad), logrados con la implementación de la propuesta de intervención. En tal sentido, los programas físico-recreativo especializados pueden ser complementos efectivos para potenciar la integración de un grupo social determinado, como es el caso de adultos mayores jubilados de un centro de educación superior(AU)

Introduction: Social integration is a dynamic process that improves the subject's inclusion at exclusion risk, requiring specialized strategies, such as physical activity programs. Objective: to assess the physical activity effects on the social integration of the retired older adult from Espoch. Methods: 34 former retired public servants from the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (Espoch), with a self-perceived moderate level of depression/anxiety, were studied, subjecting them to an intervention process with physical-recreational activities that included 7 units with 90-min sessions. The older adults were evaluated with the Self-Applied Scale of Social Adaptation-SASS at two moments of the intervention process. Results: The pretest determined an average of 2.24 points (≈2: patent social maladjustment), increasing the score as part of the posttest to 2.76 (≈3: Normality), with significant differences in posttest favor (p=0.000). Conclusions: an increase in social adaptation is demonstrated based on a balance level of integration with the known environment (university), achieved with the implementation of the intervention proposal. In this sense, specialized physical-recreational programs can be effective complements to promote the integration of a specific social group, as is the case of older adults retired from a higher education center(AU)

Sociocognição e saúde mental: a 'leitura do outro' no cuidado em saúde / Cognición social y salud mental: la 'lectura de la mente' en la assistencia a salud / Social cognition and mental health: the mindreading in the healthcare work

RESUMO. Teoria da mente é a habilidade sociocognitiva de inferir pensamentos, sentimentos e intenções. É uma habilidade que sustenta as relações sociais e parece particularmente relevante para o exercício de certas atividades que estão ligadas à 'leitura do outro', como a prática de profissionais que exercem o cuidado em equipamentos de saúde, como ocorre nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial. Este estudo teórico teve o objetivo de analisar a importância das habilidades sociocognitivas para o trabalho em saúde, especialmente na saúde mental, a fim de identificar e discutir possíveis fatores que podem ter impacto na inferência que os profissionais fazem a respeito do que os usuários do serviço estão pensando, sentindo ou querendo. A análise permitiu observar as formas pelas quais a teoria da mente pode se tornar importante ferramenta para o profissional no processo terapêutico. Além disso, foi possível identificar que, no formato em que tem funcionado atualmente, o trabalho em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial tem exposto o profissional a diversos estressores que parecem produzir efeitos em suas habilidades sociocognitivas, podendo prejudicar não apenas sua saúde como também o exercício do cuidado.

RESUMEN. Teoría de la mente es la capacidad sociocognitiva de inferir pensamientos, sentimientos e intenciones.

Este estudio teórico tuvo como objetivo analizar la importancia de las habilidades socio-cognitivas para el trabajo en salud, especialmente en salud mental, buscando identificar y discutir posibles factores que pueden incidir en la inferencia que hacen los profesionales sobre lo que piensan, sienten o sienten los usuarios del servicio. El análisis permitió observar las formas en que la teoría de la mente puede convertirse en una herramienta importante para los profesionales en el proceso terapéutico. Además, se pudo identificar que, en el formato en el que se ha operado actualmente, el trabajo en Centros de Atención Psicosocial ha expuesto a los profesionales a diversos estresores que parecen afectar sus habilidades sociocognitivas, los cuales pueden perjudicar no solo su salud sino también el ejercicio del cuidado.

ABSTRACT. Theory of mind is a social cognition ability to infer thoughts, feelings and intentions. It is a skill that underpins social relationships and seems particularly relevant to the exercise of certain activities linked to mindreading, such as healthcare practice, for example, in Psychosocial Care Centers. This theoretical study aims to analyze the importance of social cognition skills for mental health practitioners, seeking to identify and discuss possible factors that impact how these professionals infer what service users are thinking, feeling or wanting. The analysis allowed us to observe how the theory of mind can become an important tool for professionals in the therapeutic process. In particular, the study concludes that work in Psychosocial Care Centers has exposed professionals to various stressors that seem to have an effect on their social cognition skills, which can harm not only their health but also their ability to attend to the needs of service users.

Effects of long working hours exposure on occupational stress and depression symptoms in couriers in Zhejiang Province / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective: To understand the current situation of long working hours exposure of couriers in Zhejiang Province, and to analyze the influence of long working hours exposure levels on their occupational stress and depression symptoms, and provide a basis for promoting the physical and mental health of couriers. Methods: From September to December 2021 , 1159 couriers from Zhejiang Express Transport Companies were selected as respondents by cluster sampling, and their basic information were collected. The occupational stress and depression symptoms of the couriers were assessed using the Core Occupational Stress Scale (COSS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The effects of long work hours (>48 h per week) on the occupational stress and depression symptoms of the couriers were analyzed. Results: The average age of 1159 courier in Zhejiang Province was (33.24±8.42) years, the average weekly working hours were (63.21±18.77) h, and 75.15% (871/1159) were long-term workers. The detection rates of occupational stress and depression symptoms in courier were 32.44% (376/1159) and 32.53% (377/1159), respectively. There were significant differences in the detection rates of occupational stress and depression symptoms among couriers with different ages, educational background, marital status, monthly average income, length of service, position or post, shift status, drinking status, and average weekly working hours (P <0.05). The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for the influence of confounding factors such as age, educational background, marital status, monthly average income, length of service, position or post, shift status and drinking status, compared with the weekly working hours ≤48 h, weekly working hours of 63-77 h, 78-92 h, ≥93 h were the risk factors for occupational stress (OR=1.547, 95%CI: 1.019-2.350; OR=1.886, 95%CI: 1.184-3.006; OR=2.338, 95%CI: 1.188-4.062) and depression symptoms (OR=1.897, 95%CI: 1.258-2.860; OR=2.041, 95%CI: 1.290-3.230; OR=4.978, 95%CI: 2.551-9.715) of couriers (P<0.05) .

Psychological resources and student burnout among pre-university students / Recursos psicológicos e burnout estudantil em pré-vestibulandos / Recursos psicológicos y agotamiento estudiantil en estudiantes preuniversitarios

The expectations imposed on students to achieve good academic performance have continually increased. This study's objective was to explore how career adaptability, psychological capital, and mental health indicators predict student burnout. A total of 1,398 students intending to enter higher education in 2020 participated; most were women from the Southeast. The results indicate that perception of control and resilience protects students from exhaustion, while stress and depression favor its emergence. In addition, the concern, anxiety, optimism, and resilience constructs prevent disengagement, while depression facilitates disengagement to be experienced in daily life. These findings reinforce the relationship between personal resources and well-being in the academic environment. (AU)

¿Estar depresivo o tener depresión? El modelo biomédico y la diferencia entre estado de ánimo y enfermedad / Being Depressed or Having Depression. The biomedical model and the difference between mood and illness

Along with the increase in reported figures of depression in the world's population, organizations such as the WHO have begun to promote screening and pharmacological treatment of mild symptomatic cases. The problem in this context is that the manifestations of 'normal' and 'pathological' depressive mood do not differ much from each other, which creates difficulties at a diagnostic and scientific level. This article explores an approach that could facilitate the clinical and scientific task of differentiating between non-specific affective disturbances (depressive mood) and depression as an illness as such. It is proposed that various causal stressors interact with individual predispositions to trigger a transient change in mood as an adaptive response. In turn, the greater the intensity of the stressors (psychological, social, etc.), the greater the neuroinflammation, which would diminish neuronal plasticity and the possibilities of mood compensation and behavioral change of the subject. The existence of this neurobiological alteration (decreased neuronal plasticity), rather than depressive mood, would help us to categorize depression as a disease.

Cambio y estancamiento terapéutico en pacientes con intento suicida desde dos metodologías de análisis de discurso / Therapeutic change and stagnation in patients with suicide attempt from two methodologies of discourse analysis

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar desde dos métodos de análisis de discurso (Indicadores de Cambio Genérico y el Algoritmo David Liberman-AH) los momentos de cambio y estancamiento en extractos de entrevista de una persona con intento suicida que acudió a un proceso de psicoterapia. Se analizaron en los fragmentos los intercambios entre paciente y terapeuta. El primer fragmento corresponde a un episodio de cambio terapéutico y el segundo a uno de estancamiento. En los resultados se muestra la calificación de los fragmentos mediante los dos métodos y se destacan semejanzas en cuanto a los criterios para delimitar el cambio y el estancamiento. En la discusión se precisa la importancia del uso de ambos métodos para una detección detallada de procesos de pensamiento, sensopercepción y afecto relacionados con el intento suicida, así como sobre el surgimiento y sostenimiento de sentimientos de bienestar en los episodios de cambio, además se valora la diferencia que ofrece el ADL, dado que proporciona la detección de defensas(AU)

Two fragments of a psychotherapy process with a patient with a suicide attempt were analyzed from two discourse analysis methodologies. The first corresponds to an episode of therapeutic change and the second to one of stagnation. Similarities were observed in both methods in terms of the criteria for delimiting change and stagnation, as well as the importance of using both methods for a detailed detection of thought processes, sensory perception and affect related to the suicide attempt, as well as the emergence and maintenance of feelings of well-being in episodes of change;in addition, the difference offered by the ADL is valued, since it provides the detection of defenses(AU)

Associations between postoperative analgesic consumption and distress tolerance, anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing: a prospective observational study

Abstract Background Patients' postoperative treatment might be affected by their psychological state. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of anxiety, coping ability (stress tolerance), depression, and pain catastrophizing on analgesic consumption in patients scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy. Methods This prospective observational study consisted of 72 patients. The Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) were completed in the preoperative period. In the postoperative period, pain intensity, as measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and morphine consumption (mg) were evaluated after 2, 6, 8, and 24 hours. Total morphine consumption was recorded. Results The results revealed a strong negative correlation between distress tolerance and postoperative total morphine consumption (r = -0.702, p< 0.001). There was a strong positive correlation between total morphine consumption and pain catastrophizing (r = 0.801, p< 0.001). A moderate positive correlation was observed between total morphine consumption and anxiety and between total morphine consumption and depression (r = 0.511, p< 0.001; r = 0.556, p< 0.001, respectively). Linear regression revealed that distress tolerance, anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing are predictors of postoperative morphine consumption (β = 0.597, p< 0.001; β = 0.207, p= 0.036; β = 0.140, p= 0.208; β = 0.624, p< 0.001, respectively). Conclusions Distress tolerance, anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing can be predictive of postoperative analgesic consumption. In the estimation of postoperative analgesic consumption, distress tolerance, as well as anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing, were found to be important predictors.

Antecedente de depresión, síntomas de estrés postraumático, apoyo social percibido: prediciendo la depresión posparto / History of depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, perceived social support: predicting postpartum depression

Objetivo: Describir y analizar si el apoyo social percibido modera la relación entre antecedente de depresión (AD) o síntomas de trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y desarrollo de síntomas de depresión posparto (SDPP), evaluado prospectivamente. Método: Diseño longitudinal de tres tiempos: antes del parto (n = 458), primer mes posparto (n = 406) y tercer mes posparto (n = 426). Se utilizaron la Escala de Depresión Posparto de Edimburgo (EPDS), la Escala de Síntomas de Estrés Postraumático (PCL-C) y la Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido (MOS). Se realizó un análisis de ocho modelos jerárquicos de regresión lineal múltiple, por cada tiempo de evaluación en el estudio. Resultados: Se encontró una asociación significativa entre síntomas de TEPT y puntaje de SDPP en los tres tiempos. El apoyo social percibido es un factor protector significativo para los SDPP en los tiempos 1 y 2, mientras que el AD es un factor de riesgo significativo en los tiempos 2 y 3. Los resultados no apoyan las hipótesis de interacción. Conclusiones: El apoyo social es un factor protector significativo, que puede disminuir los SDPP; sin embargo, disminuye con el tiempo. El apoyo social no logra revertir la asociación de los síntomas de TEPT con el puntaje en SDPP.

Objective: Describe and analyze if the perceived social support moderates the relationship between depression history or post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and the development of symptoms of postpartum depression, prospectively evaluated. Method: Longitudinal design of three times: before partum (n = 458), one month (n = 458) and 3 months postpartum (n = 458). The version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the version of the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), and the version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS) were used. Analysis of eight hierarchical multiple linear regression models. Results: A significant association was found between symptoms of post-traumatic stress and postpartum depression, in the three times measured. The perceived social support variable was found to be a significant protective factor for perinatal depression in times 1 and 2, and history of depression was significant in times 2 and 3. The results do not support the interaction hypothesis. Conclusions: Social support is a significant protective factor, which can reduce the symptoms of postpartum depression, nevertheless the significance decreases over time. However, social support fails to reverse the association of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms with symptoms of postpartum depression score.

Impacto psicológico del programa de diagnóstico y tratamiento fetal en las madres / Psychological impact of the fetal diagnosis and treatment program on mothers

El programa de Diagnóstico y Tratamiento Fetal (PDTF) coordina y optimiza el cuidado prenatal y perinatal de pacientes que consultan por alguna anomalía congénita severa (ACS). El servicio de Salud Mental forma parte del equipo interdisciplinario. Objetivo:Evaluar mediante indicadores específicos (estrés en torno a la internación neonatal, depresión, ansiedad, afrontamiento y apoyo social percibido) el impacto psicológico del PDTF en madres de recién nacidos (RN) con ACS internados en Neonatología, comparándolas con un grupo de pacientes con las mismas ACS ingresados por derivación posnatal habitual (DP). Diseño: transversal, comparativo. Población: madres de niños y niñas con ACS internados en neonatología, que cumplan con los criterios de admisión, con consentimiento. Instrumentos de medición: Cuestionario de MOS de Apoyo Social Percibido, Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI), Inventario de ansiedad estado/rasgo (STAI), Escala de estrés parental: Unidad de cuidados intensivos (PSS: NICU), Inventario de respuestas de afrontamiento de MOOS (CRI-A). Los datos se analizaron con REDCap y stata 12.0. Resultados: muestra constituida por 83 madres. El 61% tuvo seguimiento en PDTF. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la edad (M:24a), nivel educativo(55% estudios secundarios o superiores), situación de pobreza (25%), situación conyugal(89% en pareja estable), presencia de red de apoyo(95%). En cuanto a su procedencia el 62% de las madres del PDTF y el 81% de DP provenían de CABA y el Conurbano. Tenían diagnóstico prenatal solo el 31% de las DP. Los diagnósticos más prevalentes de los niños del PDTF fueron gastroquisis (37%) y hernia diafragmática (30%), en los niños con DP cardiopatía (22%) y gastroquisis (19%). Las madres del PDTF presentaron menores niveles de depresión que las de DP. Estas últimas fueron quienes aumentaron en mayor medida su estado de ansiedad con respecto a su rasgo habitual. El apoyo social percibido fue alto en ambos grupos al igual que el afrontamiento por aproximación. Conclusiones: Las intervenciones del programa tuvieron un efecto positivo sobre la ansiedad y la depresión en las madres durante la internación neonatal. (AU)

The Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Program ( FDTP) coordinates and optimizes prenatal and perinatal care of patients who consult for severe congenital anomalies (SCA). The Mental Health Department is part of the interdisciplinary team. Objective: To evaluate by means of specific indicators (stress around Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission, depression, anxiety, coping, and perceived social support) the psychological impact of the FDTP on mothers of newborns (NB) with SCA admitted to the NICU compared to a group of patients with the same SCA admitted through regular postnatal referral (PR). Design: cross-sectional, comparative study. Population: mothers of children with SCA admitted to the NICU who met the admission criteria and who signed informed consent. Measurement instruments: MOS Social Support Survey, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), StateTrait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU), Moos Coping Responses Inventory (CRI-A). Data were analyzed using REDCap and Stata 12.0. Results: the sample consisted of 83 mothers. Sixty-one percent were followed up by the FDTP. No significant differences were found in age (M:24y), educational level (55% secondary or higher education), poverty status (25%), marital status (89% in stable relationship), or presence of support network (95%). Regarding their origin, 62% of the FDTP mothers and 81% of the PR mothers came from the city of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires. Only 31% of the PR children had a prenatal diagnosis. The most prevalent diagnoses in the FDTP children were gastroschisis (37%) and diaphragmatic hernia (30%), and in the PR children, cardiopathy (22%) and gastroschisis (19%). FDTP mothers presented with lower levels of depression than PR mothers. The latter were those who increased their state of anxiety to a greater extent compared to their usual trait. Perceived social support was high in both groups, as was coping by proxy. Conclusions: Program interventions had a positive effect on anxiety and depression in mothers during NICU admission (AU)
