A assistência à saúde mental da mulher constitui-se em uma questão de dupla intervenção, em especial para aquelas em idade reprodutiva, visto que, a própria condição de maternidade traz riscos à mulher de desenvolver patologias importantes, repercutindo no cuidado com os filhos. O escopo do adoecimento mental além dos componentes biológicos envolvem as relações entre as pessoas e entre as pessoas e seus contextos de vida e, nesse sentido os profissionais da área têm ampliado suas ações além do tratamento por meio de medicamentos. E não é sem grandes dificuldades que a proposição desses serviços tem sido colocada em prática. A legislação diz que os municípios devem apresentar projetos para os serviços que pretendem implantar e, no que dizem respeito à saúde mental, os serviços abertos têm sido incentivados, em consonância com as políticas estabelecidas a partir do movimento de reforma na assistência. No presente trabalho investigou como se deu a entrada de mulheres no serviço de uma cidade do interior do estado de MG. Foram escolhidas aleatoriamente 30 mulheres conforme critérios de inclusão e exclusão de um total de 79. Destas 30, foi possível contatar e entrevistar 21. Foi utilizado o recurso da entrevista semiestruturada com foco nos seguintes tópicos: razões para busca de assistência, situações de vida relacionadas aos sintomas, repercussões do adoecimento mental em suas vidas e percepções sobre a assistência recebida. Os resultados foram apresentados considerando-se a caracterização das participantes e em conformidade com os objetivos, foram apresentados os dados relativos aos temas abordados nas entrevistas. Quanto às características sócio demográficas verificou-se que a maior parte das participantes vive com companheiro, têm de 1 a 5 filhos com idades entre 4 meses a 20 anos de idade não trabalha fora de casa atualmente, mas já trabalhou; a faixa etária predominante foi de 30 a 34 anos; escolaridade ensino fundamental incompleto, cor da pele auto declarada branca, oriundas do próprio município onde o estudo foi realizado. Os sintomas iniciais referidos pelas participantes que as levaram a buscar pela assistência foram alterações físicas, dores de cabeça, aceleração dos batimentos cardíacos, entre outros; psicológicas, tristeza, desânimo e comportamentais, buscar isolamento, negligenciar cuidados aos filhos, dentre outros. Os diagnósticos recebidos foram predominantemente transtornos de ansiedade e de depressão. As situações da vida que, na percepção das participantes, estiveram relacionadas a seu adoecimento foram conflitos conjugais, adoecimento e uso de drogas de pessoas da família. Como este repercutiu em suas vidas esteve ligado a conflitos no trabalho e na família. A assistência recebida é vista como muito boa, mas limitada por ter apenas um profissional responsável por ela. É centrada no medicamento embora seja vista também como um espaço em que podem ser escutadas e orientadas. Ao lado do recurso médico especializado aparece também o contexto religioso como meio de apoio para o enfrentamento dos problemas. O trabalho encontrou resultados semelhantes aos de outros estudos e também pode oferecer elementos ao contexto específico em que ele foi desenvolvido para a organização de serviços de assistência / The mental health care of women is an issue in dual intervention especially for those of reproductive age as the very condition of motherhood brings risks to women of developing major diseases impacting the care of the children. The scope of mental illness in addition to biological components involve the relationships between people and between people and their life contexts and, accordingly, the practitioners have expanded their actions beyond treatment through medication. And it is not without great difficulty that the proposition of these services has been put into practice. The law says that municipalities must submit projects for the services they intend to deploy and, with regard to mental health, open services have been encouraged, in line with the policies established from the reform movement in assistance. In the present study investigated how was the entry of women in the service of a city in the state of Minas Gerais. We randomly selected 30 women as criteria for inclusion and exclusion of a total of 79. Of these 30, we were able to contact and interview 21 was used feature of semi structured interviews with focus on the following topics: reasons for seeking assistance related life situations the symptoms of mental illness impact on their lives and perceptions about the care received. The results were presented considering the characterization of participants and in accordance with the objectives; the data on the topics covered in the interviews were presented. As for socio demographic characteristics found that most participants living with partner, have 1-5 children aged 4 months to 20 years old do not work outside the home today, but has worked; the predominant age group was 30-34 years; education incomplete primary education, self-declared white skin color, derived from the same town where the study was conducted. The initial symptoms reported by participants which led them to seek the assistance were physical changes, headache, rapid heartbeat, among others; psychological, sadness, depression and behavioral seek isolation, neglect care for children, among others. The diagnoses received were predominantly anxiety disorders and depression. Life situations that, in the perception of the participants, were related to marital conflicts, illness and drug use of family members. How this impacted on their lives was linked to conflicts at work and in the family. The assistance received is seen as very good, but limited by only having one professional responsible for it. It is centered in the medicine but is also seen as a space that can be listened to and oriented. Beside the specialized medical resource also appears the religious context as a means of support for dealing with problems. The study found similar results to those of other studies and can also provide elements to the specific context in which it was developed for the organization of medical care

Concomitantemente, observa-se que doenças associadas à longevidade, como o câncer, tem se tornado cada vez mais frequentes. Diante do fato de que atualmente os animais de companhia têm desempenhado papéis de membros da família, é natural que seus tutores temam a ocorrência de distúrbios neoplásicos e, experimentem sensações de medo, angústia, ansiedade entre outras, tanto no momento da confirmação do diagnóstico de câncer quanto no momento da indicação do tratamento, especialmente se a quimioterapia antineoplásica fizer parte do protocolo terapêutico preconizado. Neste estudo, tutores de pacientes com câncer responderam a dois questionários, de avaliação psicológica padronizados (HADS e BRUMS), bem como outros dois questionários para avaliação de suas percepções com relação ao diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer. As entrevistas foram feitas em 2 momentos: (1) antes do início da terapia e (2) ao longo do tratamento. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o perfil psicológico e as percepções dos tutores de pacientes com câncer com relação ao diagnóstico e tratamento de seu pet. Dos 103 tutores que participaram deste estudo, 92% descreveram seu cão/gato como membro da família. Esperança (93%), tristeza (77%) e medo (73%) foram os principais sentimentos relatados n...

Concurrently, we have observed that illnesses related to longevity, such as cancer, have become more frequent. Given that, nowadays, pets often play the role of family members, it is natural that their owners fear the occurrence of neoplastic diseases and suffer from fear, anxiety and similar feelings both at the diagnosis and during the early stages of the treatment, specially if antineoplastic chemotherapy is part of the recommended therapeutic protocol. Owners of cancer patients answered two standardized psychological questionnaires (HADS and BRUMS), as well as two other questionnaires to assess their perceptions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The interviews happened in two moments (1) before the beginning of the therapy and, (2) in the middle of the treatment. The goals of this study were to evaluate the psychological profile and perceptions of tutors of cancer patients regarding the diagnosis and treatment of their pet. 103 clients participated in this survey, 92% described their dog/cat as a family member. Hope (93%), sadness (77%) and fear (73%) were the main feelings reported at the time of diagnosis. In 55% of the cases, they stated they were feeling hopeful about the therapy and 65% of them described the adverse effects as their greatest fears. Only 31% of expected adverse effects were observed and 78% of those owners reported good/excellent quality of life during the treatment. It was considered beneficial by 82% of the evaluated owners and 89% were feeling happy for choose it. Before the treatment 54% of these clients had signs of anxiety. In contrast, only 28% of those still described them during the treatment. (Complete abstract electronic access below) / Doutor

Thesis (M.A. (Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2013 / This study explored the phenomenological experiences of mothers of children with mental retardation in two special schools (i.e. Fulufhelo and Pfunanani). The former is in Vhembe while the later is situated in Mopani district in Limpopo province. A qualitative approach was followed and participants were selected using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 24 members (12 for individual interviews and 12 for focus group) whose children were diagnosed with mental retardation at the time of the study. Data were collected through unstructured interviews and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The following psychological themes emerged from the study: mothers’ subjective understanding of mental retardation; mothers’ understanding of the causes of mental retardation; living with a mental retarded child; psychological reactions of mothers to a diagnosis of mental retardation and mothers’ causal explanation of mental retardation. The present study discovered that all families with mentally retarded children are directly or indirectly affected by this condition.

The purpose of this study was to examine sport psychology consultants perceptions about mental training, and how they believe that mental top form could be achieved. Qualitative interviews were used as method. In total, five informants participated in the study. The result that emerged was that the informants felt that mental top form is about creating a balance between all parts of life. Trust for himself and his character was also important as well as the ideas you have. Becoming aware of the thought processes and learn to control those in a favorable direction is important. The basis for achieving mental top form was considered to bring the basic tension in the body. It was important to have clear goals. It was also essential to provide continuity in the mental training to achieve results. A powerful tool to use was considered to be the goal images, which means to see pictures of yourself for your inner that you want to work in different situations. Furthermore, it was important to stop and get to know yourself and your needs. Mental strength was considered to be the deciding factor when all other variables are equivalent. Should all work out mentally, it would be a higher minimum level because everyone would emerge. The conclusion of this study is that the mental training techniques used in sport can also be transferred to other contexts and to other groups of people to create mental health. But it is difficult to determine precisely which techniques each one needs because all seek out different things and all have different needs. It is of great importance to the mental workout is tailored to the individual's needs.</p>

The basic purpose of the study was to examine the effects of intake interviews an the anxiety and depression of clients. It was hypothesized that intake interviews would reduce symptomology, as it has been shown that even brief interactions with clinicians can be beneficial. Gender of both client and counselor were also examined for main effects and/or interactions. No difference in symptomology based on gender of client or counselor was anticipated.Two hundred ninety-nine adult out-patients of a university training practicum clinic were administered anxiety and depression inventories either before or after intake interviews. Intake interviews were performed by doctoral or masters level students assigned to fellowship duties at the clinic.The intake interview consisted of two parts. The First part was the gathering of relevant demographic information and questions which solicited information about the problems clients were experiencing which prompted the need For counseling. The second part of the intake consisted of a testing battery composed of the Beck Depression Inventory (SDI), Speilberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Tennessee Self-Concept Scale CTSCS). Only the BDI and State component of the STAI were used in the study.Each of the parts in the intake took approximately 45 minutes to complete. Intakes were scheduled in two-hour time blocks which allowed sufficient time For completion of the entire intake. The experimental manipulation was accomplished by having counselors alternate the order of the interview and assessment battery.The design of the study was a 2 x 2 x 2 (order of interview/assessment battery, client gender, counselor gender). Analysis of the data was performed using a Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) procedure.There were no significant results for any of the BDI score analyses, and only one significant result For the STAI score analyses. The intake interview was not found to affect the anxiety or depression of clients, failing to support the main hypothesis of the study. Depression and anxiety were also not affected by client gender. However, anxiety was significantly lower for clients of Female vs. male counselors. Depression was not affected. No interactions were found to be significant. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
