THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE ON MENTAL ILLNESS RELATED EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS IN THE CITY OF TORONTOWang, XIANG 27 May 2013 (has links)
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of extreme ambient temperature on hospital emergency room (ER) visits related to mental and behavior disorders in Toronto, Canada.
Methods: A time series study was conducted using health and climatic data from April 1st 2002 to March 31st 2010. Relative risks for increases in ER visits were estimated for specific mental and behavior disorders (MBD) after exposure to hot and cold temperatures while using 50th percentile of the mean temperature distribution as the reference. The non-linear nature of the exposure–outcome relationship was accounted for using a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM). The effects of seasonality, humidity, day of the week and outdoor air pollutants (CO2, O3, PM2.5, NO2, and SO2) were also adjusted.
Results: We observed positive associations between elevated mean temperatures and hospital ER visits for MBD. For hot temperatures, significant increases in ER visits for MBD were observed after a mean temperature threshold of about 24°C. The association generally lasted about 3 to 4 lag days with the strongest effect occuring at lag 0 (RR = 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03 - 1.09). Similar trends and associations were observed for specific mental illnesses such as mood, neurotic, substance abuse, and schizophrenia related disorders. Cold temperature associations were only observed for schizophrenia.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that extreme temperature poses a risk to the health and wellbeing for individuals with mental and behavior disorders. Patient management and education may need to be improved as extreme temperatures become more prevalent. / Thesis (Master, Community Health & Epidemiology) -- Queen's University, 2013-05-24 14:46:14.57

Där kan du stanna : En studie om ungdomarsarbetslöshetMokvist, Linus, Arlehall Borg, Jonas January 2016 (has links)
The aim of our study was to investigate how young people’s situation in society is affected by unemployment and to explore whether young people are affected psychologically by being unemployed, and if so, how. To investigate this, we used quantitative methodology and conducted a survey of 50 young people in two different employment agencies. The results showed that adolescents are partially a part of the precariat social class and that a large portion of the surveyed young people are psychologically affected by being unemployed in a negative way.

Narratives of partners of people diagnosed with bipolar disorderPienaar, Mia 28 July 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology.
2016 / Bipolar disorder is a chronic, turbulent mental disorder that is associated with feelings of distress and ‘caregiver burden’ for those who are close to people diagnosed with it. Although there is a relatively large body of literature on ‘caregivers’ of people with chronic mental illness, it is argued that this body of research has been reductionist and one-dimensional. Furthermore, the extant research has, in general, treated any person close to someone with bipolar disorder as a ‘caregiver’, without giving attention to the unique relational dynamics between two people. This is especially true for romantic partners of people with mental illness. This study used a social constructionist approach and a narrative methodology to analyse individual interviews with five people who are or had been in an intimate relationship with someone with bipolar disorder. This study used Bamberg’s (1997) positioning analysis to explore the ways in which the participants constructed important characters, their audience and themselves in their narratives of living with someone with bipolar disorder. It was found that there are many more possibilities for dynamics between a person and his or her partner with bipolar disorder than a simple caregiver-care receiver dynamic. It was also found that for the participants the term ‘caregiver’ is not an appropriate description of their role and position. This research is important as an example of embracing the complexity of family members’ experiences of mental illness, and to open the possibility of narrative intervention for partners of people with bipolar disorder
