ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to know the prevalence of psychodrug consumption in Primary Health Care, related factors and influence of the family factor on this consumption. METHODS: Observational cross sectional study carried out in an urban Health Care Center. A total of 434 patients older than 14 years old, who are health care consumers, were included. They were selected by systematic sampling for 6 consecutives weeks. Psychodrugs consumption and related factors were measured by a questionnaire designed for this purpose. The questionnaire was filled out by personal interview and case history revision. Existence of family dysfunction was determined by self-applied Apgar-family questionnaire. RESULTS: Prevalence of psychodrugs consumption was 26% (95 % CI: 22-30). A total of 53% were benzodiazepines and 27% were antidepressants (73 % are SSRI). There was family dysfunction in 20 % of consumers and 12 % of non-consumers, which is a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). By logistic regression, being between 45-64 years old (OR: 3.18), or more than 65 years old (OR: 3.29), being female (OR: 2.2), being a housewife (OR: 3.07), having psychiatric background (OR: 15.2) and having important family dysfunction in the Apgar-family questionnaire (OR: 7.19) were the variables which appeared as associated with this consumption. CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of psychodrugs in Primary Health Care consumers is 26 %. Being 45 years old or more, female and housewife are possible factors which predict psychodrugs consumption. Psychiatric disease antecedents and having important family dysfunction are also associated independently. These should be kept in mind to improve medical prescription of these drugs in Primary Health Care.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la prevalencia del consumo de psicofármacos en Atención Primaria, los factores relacionados y la influencia del factor familiar en dicho consumo. Métodos. Estudio observacional y transversal realizado en un centro de salud urbano. Incluimos 434 pacientes, mayores de 14 años demandantes de consulta, seleccionados durante 6 semanas consecutivas mediante muestreo sistemático. Medimos el consumo de psicofármacos y los factores relacionados mediante cuestionario diseñado al efecto y cumplimentado con entrevista personal y revisión de historias clínicas. La presencia de disfunción familiar se determina con el autocumplimentado del test de Apgar familiar Resultados. Prevalencia del consumo de psicofármacos del 26 por ciento (IC 95 por ciento: 22-30). El 53 por ciento fueron benzodiacepinas y el 27 por ciento antidepresivos (73 por ciento son ISRS). Encontramos disfunción familiar en el 20 por ciento de los consumidores y en el 12 por ciento de los que no consumen, diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p < 0, 01 ). Mediante regresión logística, tener entre 45-64 años (OR. 3,18) o más de 65 años (OR:3,29), ser mujer (OR. 2,2), ser ama de casa (OR: 3,07), tener antecedentes psiquiátricos (OR. 15,2) y presentar un Apgar familiar con disfunción familiar grave (OR: 7,19) son las variables que aparecen asociadas al citado consumo. Conclusiones. El consumo de psicofármacos en población demandante de asistencia en Atención Primaria es del 26 por ciento. Tener 45 o más años, ser mujer y ama de casa constituyen posibles factores predictores del consumo de psicofármacos. Los antecedentes de patología psiquiátrica y presentar disfunción familiar grave se asocian también de forma independiente y deberían ser tenidos en cuenta en la mejora de la calidad y pertinencia de la prescripción de estos fármacos en Atención Primaria (AU)
