The interconnection of somatic and mental issues within a multidisciplinary adolescent health unit. [L'intrication des problématiques somatiques et psychiques dans une unité multidisciplinaire de santé des adolescents.]

Les aspects physiques et psychiques sont étroitement intriqués à l'adolescence, et le corps représente un lieu privilégié d'expression des conflits. C'est dire l'importance de donner une place de choix au versant psychologique au sein d'une consultation de santé des adolescents, pour tenter de discerner la souffrance psychique souvent cachée derrière la plainte somatique.

Desigualtats socials i salut mental. Una proposta d’intervenció: la renda bàsica

Fa anys que s’està posant de manifest per diverses institucions que les malalties mentals van en augment. Tanmateix, sabem que les classes social i econòmicament baixes de la població són més vulnerables a les malalties mentals. Cal comprendre com es va anar dissenyant l’organisme humà durant el seu passat evolutiu i analitzar com afecta a la salut mental un entorn de grans desigualtats socials i econòmiques, societats jerarquitzades, males condicions laborals, bosses de pobresa, etc. Des de fa més de 20 anys que s’ha obert pas la proposta de la Renda Bàsica universal que podria contribuir a canviar algunes de les problemàtiques que aquí s’apunten.

Effort, reward and self-reported mental health: a simulation study on negative affectivity bias.

Background : In the present article, we propose an alternative method for dealing with negative affectivity (NA) biases in research, while investigating the association between a deleterious psychosocial environment at work and poor mental health. First, we investigated how strong NA must be to cause an observed correlation between the independent and dependent variables. Second, we subjectively assessed whether NA can have a large enough impact on a large enough number of subjects to invalidate the observed correlations between dependent and independent variables.Methods : We simulated 10,000 populations of 300 subjects each, using the marginal distribution of workers in an actual population that had answered the Siegrist's questionnaire on effort and reward imbalance (ERI) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).Results : The results of the present study suggested that simulated NA has a minimal effect on the mean scores for effort and reward. However, the correlations between the effort and reward imbalance (ERI) ratio and the GHQ score might be important, even in simulated populations with a limited NA.Conclusions : When investigating the relationship between the ERI ratio and the GHQ score, we suggest the following rules for the interpretation of the results: correlations with an explained variance of 5% and below should be considered with caution; correlations with an explained variance between 5% and 10% may result from NA, although this effect does not seem likely; and correlations with an explained variance of 10% and above are not likely to be the result of NA biases.

El Bienestar del hogar y los funcionamientos elementales de la Infancia y juventud en edad escolar: aplicación de un Modelo de Estructura de Covarianza (MEC) al caso del departamento de Antioquia- Colombia

En la investigación planteo que el logro de las capacidades de los niños y jóvenes está sujeto a su entorno familiar, de manera que el bienestar del hogar en el espacio de los funcionamientos influye en los niveles de salud y de educación de los niños y jóvenes en edad escolar. La primera parte, es el marco basado en el enfoque de capacidades, donde se establece un soporte teórico entre el bienestar de la infancia y las capacidades. La segunda, es la aplicación de un Modelo de Estructura de Covarianza (MEC), aplicado al caso de Antioquia-Colombia. Palabras
