O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar o padrão de uso de álcool e a relação com os aspectos da religiosidade em estudantes de enfermagem de uma Faculdade do Interior Paulista. O desenho metodológico trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de abordagem quantitativa. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário contendo informações sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, estado civil, religião) e os aspectos da prática religiosa. Foi aplicado o Teste de identificação dos problemas relacionados com o uso do álcool (AUDIT) e a Escala de Espiritualidade/Religiosidade (SSRS). A amostra foi composta por 78,2% dos estudantes de primeiro a quarto ano do curso de enfermagem matriculados no ano de 2008, caracterizados por 92,6% mulheres; com média de idade de 20,9 anos; 96,7% solteiros; 64,8% católicos; 60,7% frequentam reuniões religiosas uma vez/semana; 87,7% dos familiares praticam alguma religião; e 73,8% dos estudantes não consideraram religiosidade sinônimo de espiritualidade. Quanto ao padrão de consumo de álcool, 83,6% dos estudantes já fizeram uso de bebida alcoólica na vida, na classificação do AUDIT identificou-se que 79,5% eram abstêmios ou usuários de baixo risco, 20,5% faziam uso problemático do álcool, 45,9% bebiam na frequência de duas a quatro vezes por mês, 38,5% consumiam a quantidade quatro ou cinco doses e 36,9% se embriagavam menos uma vez por mês. A confiabilidade da escala SSRS apresentou um bom resultado com Alfa de Cronbach 0,83. A média da pontuação na escala SSRS foi de 14,94 pontos, sendo que 75,4% não consideram ser importante passar algum tempo do dia com pensamentos particulares e meditações religiosas; 72,1% discordam sobre a importância das orações ou pensamentos religiosos individuais sendo tão importantes quanto os que teriam durante cerimônias religiosas e cultos e 49,2% afirmam que suas vidas são baseadas em sua religião. Não houve associação entre a pontuação do AUDIT e as demais variáveis, no entanto identificou-se que quanto menor a soma na escala SSRS maior foi a pontuação no AUDIT. A religiosidade para essa amostra não foi identificada como fator de proteção para o uso de álcool entre os estudantes, 7 observou-se apenas que entre os estudantes afiliados às religiões, como a Católica, Espírita e Evangélica, houve diferenças no padrão de uso da substância investigada. Assim, o uso do álcool e a religiosidade/espiritualidade entre estudantes são temas complexos que precisam ser explorados e abordados nos currículos dos cursos de enfermagem, além de serem utilizados em estratégias preventivas no âmbito universitário. / The present paper aims to identify the pattern of alcohol use and related aspects of religiosity among nursing students from an inner paulista College. It is an exploratory descriptive study with a quantitative approach. To collect data it was used a questionnaire containing sociodemographic information (sex, age, marital status, religion) and religious practices. The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Scale of Spirituality/Religiousness (SSRS) were employed. The sample comprised 78.2% of students from first to fourth year of the nursing course enrolled in 2008: 92.6% women; mean age 20.9 years old; 96.7% single; 64.8% Roman Catholic; 60.7% attend religious meetings weekly; 87.7% of the family members practice some religion; 73.8% of the students did not consider religiosity synonymous with spirituality. Patterns of alcohol consumption: 83.6% of students have already made use of alcoholic beverages; according to AUDIT 79.5% were abstainers or low risk users; 20.5% presented hazardous alcohol use; 45.9% drank two to four times per month; 38.5% consumed four or five doses and 36.9% got drunk at least once a month. The SSRS scale reliability was good with 0.83 Cronbach\'s Alpha. The average score on the SSRS scale was 14.94 points; 75.4% did not consider it important to spend time with religious thoughts or meditations; 72.1% disagree on the importance of prays or religious thoughts (as it would happen during religious ceremonies and worships) and 49.2% say their lives are based on their religion. There was no association between AUDIT scores and other variables; however, the smaller the sums of the SSRS scale, the higher the AUDIT scores. Religiosity in this sample was not identified as a protective factor against alcohol use among students; it was observed that among the students, followers of different religions, especially Roman Catholic, Evangelical and Spirit Doctrine, there are differences regarding the alcohol use. Thus, alcohol use and religiousness/spirituality among students are complex issues that need to be explored and addressed in the curricula of nursing schools besides being used in preventive strategies in university scope.

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, que utilizou o referencial teórico-metodológico da sociologia fenomenológica de Alfred Schutz. O estudo foi realizado em um CAPSadIII localizado em Porto Alegre e foram entrevistados 15 usuários. As entrevistas ocorreram em março de 2014, através de uma entrevista. Durante a análise compreensiva dos relatos, surgiram cinco categorias: Satisfação dos usuários com o CAPS; Atividades desenvolvidas no CAPS e Concepções dos usuários sobre a Enfermagem do CAPS. Através desta pesquisa, puderam-se compreender as expectativas dos usuários sobre o atendimento realizado no CAPSad, as expectativas para com os enfermeiros envolvidos em seus tratamentos. E, assim, pôde-se observar e considerar que os vínculos criados entre usuários e enfermeiros no CAPS são capazes de favorecer a efetividade do tratamento desenvolvido por possibilitar a criação de um plano terapêutico que vá ao encontro das necessidades dos usuários. / This study aimed to understand users' expectations about the actions of nurses in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and other Drugs (CAPSad). This is a qualitative study using the theoretical and methodological framework of the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz. The study was conducted in a CAPSadIII located in Porto Alegre and 15 users were interviewed. The interviews took place in March 2014, through an interview. During the comprehensive analysis of reports, five categories emerged: User satisfaction with the CAPS; Activities developed in CAPS and Concepts of users on Nursing CAPS. Through this research, we were able to understand the expectations of users about the service provided in CAPSad, with expectations for nurses involved in their treatment. And so we could observe and consider that the links created between users and nurses in CAPS are able to promote the effectiveness of the treatment developed by enabling the creation of a treatment plan that meets the needs of users.

Background and objectives: Several new psychoactive drugs for the treatment of psychiatric disorders have been introduced onto the market since the late 1980s. Basic aspects of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics (PK) are investigated before approval for general prescription. Thus, a limited number of subjects are exposed to the drug before it is marketed and only sparse measurements of drug concentration are performed during phases II and III of drug development. The objective of this thesis was to provide further descriptive PK and linked patients data in naturalistic clinical settings. The PK of psychoactive drugs was also studied in the elderly and the young, major risk groups that are exposed in normal everyday clinical practice but that are underrepresented in the phases of drug development. The PK-data were to be assessed by samples sent to the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) laboratory service. In a subset of individuals, the genotypes of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes were described. Results: Serum concentration of the parent compound and its metabolites was provided from TDM-data on antidepressant escitalopram (Paper I) and antipsychotic ziprasidone (Paper II). A large interindividual PK variability was found. The daily dose of the drug was higher than the defined daily dose (DDD) for both escitalopram and ziprasidone (median dose 20 mg and 120 mg, respectively). The median number of drugs per patient, apart from the studied drug, was 4 and 3, respectively (range 1-18). If repeated eligible TDM-data were available, change in treatment strategies could be seen between the first and second sample for the patient, and the metabolite/parent compound (M/P) ratio had lower intraindividual than interindividual variation in the escitalopram study but opposite results were found in the ziprasidone study. The prescription of antidepressant drugs (ADs) in the nursing homes studied was 38 % (Paper III). The concentration of the ADs was higher, or much higher, than could be expected from the dose administered in 73 %. The majority of the elderly people were treated with citalopram. No clear time schedule for how long the drug treatment should continue was found in the patients’ current medical record. The median number of drugs per patient apart from the AD was 11 (range 4-19), no monotherapy was found in these patients. The genetically impaired metabolic activity of CYP enzymes correlated to higher drug concentration as expected, in patients medicated with an AD that is substrate for the CYP enzyme genotype. The concentrations of ADs were as expected from the dose administered in 63 % of the children/adolescents evaluated (Paper IV). The majority of TDM samples requested sertraline. PK outcome of sertraline was similar to the results in adult populations. Monotherapy was documented in 49 % (median number of drugs apart from AD was 1 per patient, range 1-7). Changes in treatment strategies were also shown, if repeated TDM-samples were available. The median variation of the M/P ratio for sertraline between the first and the last samples within the same patient was 20 % (the interindividual variation was 37 %). The poor metabolizers (PM) for CYP2D6 medicated with a CYP2D6 substrate had a lower dose than did non-PM for the same drug. Conclusion: These studies provide reference data for the evaluation of the therapeutic response, i.e. a reference range of what is to be expected in a normal clinical setting, as well as the toxicological information concerning the psychoactive drugs studied. When available, the M/P ratio between two patients’ samples may assess patient compliance, as well as drug-drug interactions. Thus, the use of TDM can be beneficial for individual dose optimisation and drug safety, above all in the studied populations, elderly people and children/adolescents, when the selection of doses requires a consideration of PK parameters. TDM may be a tool for research, increasing knowledge of the psychoactive drug in TDM service, as well as toxicology. A more frequent clinical use of TDM and pharmacogenetic testing in clinical practice would contribute to a better quality when treating with psychoactive drugs.

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was applied for purification of psychoactive biomolecules from plants. These molecules are in the same molecular weight range, but do not necessarily share other chemical properties, that makes the SEC technique efficient. By applying SEC as a first purification step much of the co-extractives from the plants can easily be removed. Large amounts of target substance can be obtained with little effort if the system is automated. Combining SEC with a second purification step, consisting of normal phase chromatography, provides high purity of the target substance. Both known and unknown psychoactive biomolecules can easily be purified using the purification method developed in this Master's Thesis. Purifications that previously required long time and much "hands-on" can be completed much faster and with less manual work. The method developed was tested on cannabis, coffee and 'Spice' with good results.

Įvadas. Paskutinio dešimtmečio moksliniais duomenimis, Europoje ir visame pasaulyje didžiąją dalį sveikatos problemų sudaro psichikos ir elgesio sutrikimai. Tai tampa ekonomine našta valstybėms, o psichikos sveikatos apsauga – vienu iš didžiausių rūpesčių. Pastaraisiais metais atliekami psichologiniai ir socialiniai tyrimai bei studijos rodo, kad labiausiai pažeidžiama visuomenės dalis – jaunimas. Taigi šio tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti psichoaktyviųjų medžiagų vartojimo paplitimą tarp I – III kurso VU Medicinos fakulteto studentų ir jį įtakojančius veiksnius. Metodai. Anoniminė apklausa atlikta 2007 metais. 556 I – III kurso Vilniaus universiteto Medicinos fakulteto studentai užpildė Tarptautinio alkoholio ir kitų narkotikų tyrimo Europos mokyklose projekto (ESPAD) klausimyną, modifikuotą ir pritaikytą tiriamajam kontingentui. Duomenys apdoroti statistine programa SPSS 15.0. Rezultatai. 18,3 proc. Vilniaus universiteto Medicinos fakulteto I – III kurso studentų teigė, kad rūko. Didžioji jų dalis rūkė kasdien. Vaikinų statistiškai reikšmingai rūkė daugiau nei merginų (p<0,05). Alkoholį vartojo 77,3 proc. studentų. Dažniausiai vartojami alkoholiniai gėrimai buvo vynas ir alus. 68,7 proc. studentų teigė vartojantys kavą, pusė – energetinius gėrimus. Kofeino turinčios tabletės nebuvo paplitusios tarp studentų. 12,1 proc. studijuojančių buvo bandę narkotikų (vaikinų daugiau nei merginų (p<0,05)), narkotikus pastoviai vartojo apie 3 proc. studentų. Dažniausiai vartojama medžiaga buvo... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Background. According to the scientific material of the last decade major part of health problems in Europe and all around the World are due to psychical and behavioural disorders. It has become an economical burden for the countries whereas psychical health services have become one of the major concerns. The latest psychological and social researches and studies suggest that the most vulnerable part of the society is youth. So, the goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of using psychoactive substances amongst first-third year students of Vilnius University Medicine Faculty and factors influencing it. Methods. Anonymous inquiry was performed in the year 2007. A self-administered questionnaire of The European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD), which was modified and applied for the exploratory crop, was completed by 556 first-third year students of Vilnius University Medicine Faculty. The data was analysed using the statistical programe SPSS 15.0. Results. In total 18,3% of Vilnius University Medicine Faculty first-third year students reported smoking. The majority of them smoked every day. Boys students reported significantly greater smoking then girls students (p < 0,05). 77,3% of students reported using alcohol. Most often used alcoholic drinks were wine and beer. 68,7% of students used coffee whereas half of them used energetic drinks as well. Caffeine containing tablets were not popular amongst the students. 12,1% of those who studied... [to full text]

Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti priekabiautojų - aukų, tik priekabiautojų ir tik patyčių aukų bei į patyčias neįsitraukusių paauglių savęs vertinimo ir psichoaktyviųjų medžiagų vartojimo ypatumus. Tyrime dalyvavo 211 Kauno Antano Smetonos gimnazijos mokinių: 140 (66 proc.) mergaičių ir 71 (34 proc.) berniukas. Tirtų mokinių amžius nuo 12 iki 18 metų, amžiaus vidurkis 15 m. Tiriamieji buvo apklausiami mokykloje klasės valandėlių ir pamokų metu, gavus raštiškus mokyklos direktorės ir paauglių iki 16 m. tėvų sutikimus. Apklausą padėjo atlikti mokyklos psichologė. Patyčių dalyvių vaidmenų nustatymui buvo pasirinktas R. Povilaičio ir J. Valiukevičiūtės (2006) klausimynas, savęs vertinimui tirti buvo pasirinkta M. Rosenberg (1965) savęs vertinimo skalė ir psichoaktyviųjų medžiagų vartojimui nustatyti – R. Jessor ir kt. (1992) sveikos elgsenos klausimynas. Tiriamieji turėjo atsakyti į 26 klausimus. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad į patyčias neįsitraukę paaugliai pasižymi aukštesniu savęs vertinimu nei į patyčias įsitraukę paaugliai. Į patyčias neįsitraukusios paauglės – mergaitės alkoholį vartoja rečiau nei priekabiautojos – aukos ar tik priekabiautojos. Dažniausiai iš visų patyčių dalyvių vaidmenų grupių cigaretes rūko priekabiautojos – aukos mergaitės; rečiausiai cigaretes rūko patyčių aukos ir į patyčias neįsitraukusios paauglės mergaičių grupėje. Analizuojant sąsajas tarp patyčių dalyvių vaidmenų savęs vertinimo ir psichoaktyviųjų medžiagų vartojimo tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad...

The subjects of the study were 211 school – children from Kaunas Antanas Smetona gymnasium: 140 (66 per cent) girls and 71 (34 per cent) boys at the age of 12 – 18. The mean age of the school - children was 15 years. The participants were interviewed during the lessons with permissions of the gymnasium director and younger than 16 years adolescent’s patents. The gymnasium psychologist helped to interview adolescents. Bullying roles were found with Evaluation of the prevalence of bullying questionnaire by R. Povilaitis and J. Valiukevičiūtė (2006), self-esteem was assessed with Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) and psychoactive substance use was assessed with Health behavior questionnaire by R. Jessor et al. (1992). The participants were asked to fill in the form of 26 questions. The results of the study showed that adolescents, who do not engage in bullying, are higher self-esteem than adolescents, who engage in bullying. Girls, who do not engage in bullying, more rarely use alcohol than bully-victims and pure bullies. Bully-victim girls more often smoke cigarettes than other bullying roles; girls, who do not engage in bullying, and pure victims girls more rarely smoke cigarettes than other bullying roles.

Darbo tema - Mokinių, tėvų ir mokytojų informuotumas apie narkotikų vartojimą mokykloje (Šilalės miesto atvejis). Narkomanija – didelė problema. Svarbu sustabdyti jos plitimą. Parengta ir patvirtinta Nacionalinė narkotikų kontrolės ir narkomanijos prevencijos 2010–2016 metų programa. Vienas jos tikslų – sumažinti narkotinių medžiagų vartojimo tarp vaikų ir jaunimo paplitimą, vykdyti prevencinį darbą. Galime drąsiai teigti, jog informacijos apie narkotines medžiagas ir jų keliamą pavojų yra daug. Bet iškyla klausimas, ar minėta informacija išaiškinama mokiniams mokyklose, ar mokinių tėvai objektyviai suvokia šios informacijos svarbą ir pagaliau ar mokytojai užsiima švietėjiška veikla šiuo klausimu, nes siekiant veiksmingai vykdyti narkotikų vartojimo prevenciją būtina derinti informavimą apie narkotines medžiagas su elgsenos bei mąstymo (tikrųjų vertybių sistemos) formavimo metodais. Kaip teigia A. G. Davidavičienė, šalyje nėra ankstyvosios diagnostikos ir intervencijos sistemos. Pedagogams ir tėvams trūksta kompetencijos, atpažįstant narkotines ir psichotropines medžiagas pavartojusį paauglį, ypač, kol paauglys jas vartoja saikingai ir slepia tai nuo aplinkinių. Narkotikų poveikis kiekvienam asmeniui yra labai individualus, o įvairūs narkotikai veikia labai skirtingai. Todėl nėra simptomų, būdingų visiems paaugliams. Vartojimo pradžioje galima nepastebėti jokių ženklų ar požymių. Nuotaikos svyravimai ir neprognozuojamas elgesys paauglystėje neleidžia lengvai nustatyti, ar...

Research tutor: Prof. Habil. Dr. Juozas Bagdanavičius. Research problem. Drug abuse is a huge problem, therefore it is important to halt its dispersion. One of the aims of the adopted National drug control and drug addiction prevention program for 2010 – 2016 is to reduce the dispersion of drug abuse among children and the youth; and implement preventive work. There are plenty of information about drug substances and their danger. But a question arises whether this information is explained to pupils in schools, whether their parents perceive the importance of this information objectively and, finally, whether teachers engage themselves in this type of educational activities, because it is important to combine awareness of drug substances with behavioural and cognitive (fair value system) formation methods in order to effectively implement drug abuse prevention. Our country does not possess early diagnostics and intervention system. Teachers and parents lack competences to recognize a teenager who abuses drug and psychotropic substances, especially if the teenager does it moderately and hides it from surrounding. Drug influence differs to each person and different types of drugs also affects differently. Therefore, there are no standard symptoms. In the beginning of abuse it is impossible to notice...

Mūsų šalis vis dar išlieka tarp pirmaujančių pagal paauglių savižudybių skaičių, taip pat egzistuoja tokios problemos kaip, bloga paauglių sveikata, psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimas. Todėl svarbu išsiaiškinti paauglių polinkio į savižudybę, sveikatą bei psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimo sąsajas. Tyrimo tikslas: nustatyti 5-12 klasių mokinių polinkio į savižudybę sąsajas su savo sveikatos vertinimu ir psichoaktyviųjų medžiagų vartojimu kaimo ir miesto mokyklose. Darbe taikytas polinkio į savižudybę, sveikatos vertinimo bei psichoaktyvių medžiagų klausimynas ( prof. A. Goštautas, 1999). Metodikos pasirinktos kaip tinkamos savo sveikatos vertinimo, psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimo bei polinkio į savižudybę nustatyti. Tyrimas atliktas vieno Lietuvos rajono miesto ir kaimo mokyklose. Tyrime dalyvavo 960 5-12 klasių mokinių (amžius10-19 metų)- 480 (240 mergaičių, 240 berniukų) miesto mokyklų ir 480 (240 mergaičių ir 240 berniukų) kaimo mokyklų ( po 30 berniukų ir po 30 mergaičių iš klasės). Tyrimo rezultatai: 5-12 klasių kaimo ir miesto mokyklų mokinių polinkis į savižudybę yra susijęs su savo sveikatos vertinimu ir psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimu kaimo ir miesto mokyklose. Nustatyta, kad mokinių, tiek berniukų, tiek mergaičių polinkis į savižudybę siejasi su savo sveikatos vertinimu: berniukų ir mergaičių polinkis į savižudybę didėja esant blogesniam savo sveikatos vertinimui. Taip pat, pereinant į aukštesnę klasę berniukų ir...

Therefore, it is important to find out about the correlation among suicidal tendencies, health and usage of psychoactive substances. The aim of the research: to specify the correlation between the suicidal tendency of the pupils of 5- 12th forms with the evaluation of their health and usage of psychoactive substances in city and rural schools. In the thesis the questionnaires about suicidal tendency, health assessment and psychoactive substances consists by prof. A. Goštautas (1990) are used. Methodologies are chosen as suitable for analysing the peculiarities of subjectively evaluated health, usage of psychoactive substances and suicidal tendencies. The research was completed in the city and rural schools of Lithuania. 960 pupils of 5 – 12th forms (aged 10 – 19) participated in the research – 480 (240 girls, 240 boys) in city schools and 480 (240 girls, 240 boys) in rural schools (30 boys and 30 girls from each class). The results: suicidal tendency of the students of 5 – 12th forms from city and village is related with their subjectively evaluated health and usage of psychoactive substances in city and rural schools. It was found that suicidal tendency of the students, boys and girls is associated with their subjectively evaluated health:... [to full text]
