Children at psychiatric risk and their families in Bucharest, in the context of 25 years of changes after December 89’ Romanian Revolution

The aim of the present dissertation was to capture a picture of child and adolescent mental health in Romania, in the context of almost 25 years of changes following the Romanian Revolution of December ’89. A three-part study was carried out in order to provide consistent answers to the pre-defined objectives: to appraise the development of child and adolescent mental health services in Romania (Part I), to explore the characteristics of clinically-referred patients in a Romanian child and adolescent psychiatry department (Part II), to examine the children’s mental health state and its connections with family functioning and associated risk factors (Part III). A multi-method research approach was used, comprising one qualitative analysis and two quantitative research studies. Part I consisted of a comparative qualitative analysis of the answers given by 10 mental health professionals at a 12-questions open ended interview about the current situation in child and adolescent mental health in Romania, on three topics: changes, challenges, solutions. Part II involved a descriptive quantitative analysis of certain variables (e.g. age, gender, primary diagnosis, co-morbidities, time of hospitalization) conducted on the patients who had been admitted to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Psychiatry Hospital, Bucharest in 1991 and in 2013. Part III was conducted on 342 subjects enrolled in two clinical groups and one school group, this study being performed through a cross-sectional analysis on multi-informant child and adolescent mental health problems and competencies (CBCL, YSR, SDQ P, SDQ SR) and their interrelation with household information (HQ) and family functioning (FAD). Outlining the results it can be stated that: 1) The CAMH System in Romania is definitely set on the path of reorganization, including a higher involvement of beneficiaries and of the community. 2) The characteristics of the admitted patients have changed significantly during the last almost 25 years since `89 December Revolution, under the influence of word wide trends in child psychiatry and of administrative aspects of the mental health network in Romania. 3) The rates of main diagnoses and co-morbidities confirm the reports in literature, with Autism Spectrum Disorder being the most frequent childhood psychiatric disorders in this study. 4) The children’s mental health problems in the psychiatry group are comparable to those reported for other clinical populations. 5) Significant score differences were observed according to various household features and also meaningful associations between a child’s clinical status and different aspects of family functioning. The Romanian Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has started to adopt the norms and standards of the European Union. In the 25 years that have elapsed after the 1989 Revolution, many changes have occurred in Romanian CAMH, but many unresolved issues have also risen. Therefore, the major contribution of this thesis is that it provides a coherent and updated overview of the present-day situation from three different perspectives- those of mental healthcare professionals, the one observed in clinical patients and the one reported by children’s families.

Gottlund, Carl Axel

f. 24.2.1769 i Strömfors d. 20.4.1875 i Helsingfors Vid mitten av 1800-talet var Carl Axel Gottlund en pionjär inom finskhetsrörelsen, tidningsman, insamlare av den folkliga traditionen och lektor i finska språket. Hans litterära produktion präglades av en romantisk föreställning om finländarnas mytologiska guldålder samt av en tidigare upplysningsanda. I strävan att utveckla det finska språket understödde Gottlund Savolax-dialekterna. Som det mest centrala verket i hans produktion ses dikteposet Otava, som utkom i två delar åren 1828-1832 och fick kritik för att det innehöll Savolax-dialektala drag. Senast då det finska nationaleposet Kalevala utgavs år 1835, fick Otava ändå ge avkall på den position som nationellt betydande verk som Gottlund hade siktat på då han skrev eposet.

Ahlqvist, August

August Ahlqvist A. Oksanen f. 7.8.1826 i Kuopio d. 20.11.1889 i Helsingfors August Ahlqvist är känd inte bara som författare och diktare, utan också som översättare, professor i finska språket och litteraturen samt rektor vid Helsingfors universitet. Ahlqvist hade en stor och mångsidig betydelse för det finska språkets och den finska kulturens utveckling under 1840-1880-talen. Många av de texter han publicerade under namnet A. Oksanen är de första i sin genre på det finska språket. Han gav t.ex. ut den första sonetten, konstballaden, landsskapssången, promotionsdikten och reseskildringen på finska. De mest kända av Oksanens texter är landskapssången ”Savolaisen laulu” (”Savolaxarens sång”), balladen ”Koskenlaskijan morsiamet” (”Forsfararens brudar”) samt ”Sotamarssi” (”Krigsmarsch”), skriven till minne av slaget vid Porrassalmi. Ahlqvist har ändå gått till litteraturhistorien framför allt som Aleksis Kivis stränga kritiker. Biografiskt lexikon för Finland: http://www.blf.fi/artikel.php?id=3105
