This study examined the early course of depression by testing a conceptual model for the development and remission of depressive symptoms. In this model, prodromal symptoms emanate from the core pathological processes underlying the disorder and comprise the core syndrome as the earliest symptoms to appear, with episodes of depression representing the more pronounced peaks of symptomatology; the core symptoms would also be the last to remit. Several general hypotheses generated from this model were tested. Additionally, the hopelessness and endogenous subtypes of depression were conceptualized within this model and examined. Cognitive risk for depression and the cognitive personality modes of sociotropy and autonomy were also examined as predictors of specific prodromal and residual symptoms. Correlation and survival analyses were conducted to test the various hypotheses. Results supported the existence of a depressive prodrome as well as the general model being tested. The earliest symptoms to appear in an episode of depression were generally consistent throughout the episode and remained as the last to remit. The order of symptom onset was related to the reverse of the order of symptom remission. The durations for the prodromal and remission phases were significantly correlated. When applied to the hopelessness subtype of depression, and depressions experienced by highly sociotropic individuals, the model held. In the endogenous subtype of depression, and among cognitively high-risk and highly autonomous individuals, the model was not strongly supported.

OBJECTIVES: Analyze the prevalence of the pre-operative depressive symptoms (SD) in patients who search cosmetic breast surgeries (with and without implants) in two different institutions (public and private) comparing: the types of surgeries, institutions and their sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study on the prevalence of DS, among patients seeking cosmetic breast surgery using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and questionnaire of sociodemographic datas for statistical comparison. RESULTS: 185 patients were included between 18 and 71 years and the greatest demand in the public institution was the reduction mammoplasty while in private was for breast augmentation.Among the institutions, there were statistically significant differences in socio-demographic variables: age (p=0.034), skin color (p<0.001), marital status between cohabiting and divorced (p=029 and p=0.039 respectively), schooling (p=0.002) and income (p<0.001). There were differences in the distribution of scores between institutions (p=0.03) and in the number and percentage of DS evaluation categories with a prevalence of 120% and 242% more positive depressive disorder’s risk (R+TD: ≥15 points in BDI-II) respectively with moderate to severe level in the public institution. The prevalence of R+TD in public institution was 25.8%, while the private was 11.6% (p=0.012). Among the patients with R+TD, the variables: age, schooling and income were statistically significant (p<0.001 for all), after Poisson’s regression. No patient of mastopexy without implants presented R+TD and the highest prevalence of this (51.4%) occurred in breast implant patients (breast augmentation and mastopexy with implants). The presence (p=0.12) or absence (p=0.33) of implant did not demonstrate a higher risk for depression with statistically significant. Among all patients, 7% answered positively about suicide item, with predominance within the group of implants (54.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DS is high (18.9%), with greater risk of 2,3 in public. Patients from public and private institutions showed different profiles. Age, less education and lower income are possible predictors of R+TD in this population. There was no statistically significant difference between R+TD and the different kinds of cosmetic breast surgeries among institutions. Patients for breast implant do not shown to have a higher significant of SD.
OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos (SD) pré-operatórios em pacientes que buscam cirurgias mamárias estéticas (com e sem implantes) em duas instituições distintas (pública e privada) comparando: os tipos de cirurgias, instituições e suas características sociodemográficas. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo transversal de prevalência de SD entre pacientes que buscam cirurgias plásticas mamárias estéticas utilizando Inventário de Depressão Beck (BDI-II) e questionário de dados sociodemográficos para comparação estatística. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídas 185 pacientes entre 18 e 71 anos onde a maior procura na instituição pública foi pela mamoplastia redutora enquanto na privada foi pela mamoplastia de aumento. Entre as instituições houve diferença estatisticamente significante nas variáveis sócio-demográficas: idade (p=0,034), cor da pele (p<0,001), estado civil entre amasiadas e divorciadas (p=029 e p=0,039 respectivamente), tempo de estudo (p=0,002) e renda (p<0,001). Houve diferença na distribuição das pontuações entre instituições (p=0,03) e do número e porcentagem das categorias de avaliação de SD com prevalência de 120% e 242% a mais de risco positivo de transtorno depressivo (R+TD: ≥15 pontos no BDI-II) respectivamente de nível moderado e grave na instituição pública. A prevalência de R+TD na instituição pública foi de 25,8%, enquanto na privada 11,6% (p=0,012). Entre as pacientes com R+TD, as variáveis: idade, tempo de estudo e renda apresentaram significância estatística (p<0,001 em todas), após regressão de Poisson. Nenhuma paciente de mastopexia sem implante apresentou R+TD enquanto que a maior prevalência deste (51,4%) ocorreu em pacientes de implante mamário (mamoplastia de aumento e mastopexia com implante). A presença (p=0,12) ou ausência (p=0,33) de implante não demonstraram maior risco para TD com significância. Dentre todas as pacientes, 7% responderam positivamente sobre o item suicídio, com predomínio no grupo com indicação de implantes (54,5%). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de SD é elevada (18,9%), com risco de 2,3 maior na pública. Pacientes de instituição pública e privada apresentam perfis diferentes. As variáveis: idade, menor escolaridade e baixa renda são possíveis fatores preditivos de R+TD nesta população. Não se observou diferença estatisticamente significante entre R+TD e os diferentes tipos de cirurgias mamárias estéticas entre instituições. Pacientes com indicação de implante mamário não demonstraram ter maior significância de R+TD.

Full textBackground: Depression or depressive morbidity is a complex mental disease that includes different phenotypes and symptoms, with negative health outcomes. The different psychiatric disorders, as well as the presence of depressive symptoms, have been associated with diet and eating habits. Aims: To investigate the association between depressive symptoms and aspects related to nutritional status and feeding, of elderly residents from the West Zone of the city of São Paulo. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional, community-based epidemiological study with 2,643 elderly individuals aged 60 or over. The following variables were considered: a-) Depedemt: Depressive Symptoms by the scale proposed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies to identify depressive symptoms (CES-D); Independent (predictors): Nutritional status from anthropometric measures (weight and height with subsequent calculation of BMI, and waist circumference); Answers to some questions related to the habit of consuming certain foods or food groups, and habit of making daily meals (Brazil, 2006). The variables related to the presence of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia) were also evaluated; Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics (Brazilian Economic Classification, CCEB) (ABEP, 2011). The variables were analyzed by binary logistic regression, adopting significant values of p <0.05. Results: There was found a high prevalence of depressive symptoms (38%); The habit of consuming fruits, beans, milks and derivatives, olive oil, water and wine were positively associated with depressive symptoms. After adjusting for the clinical, socioeconomic and demographic variables, the habit of consuming milk and derivatives, olive oil and wine remained significant in the final model; The habit of holding lunch and dinner; Have HAS; Belong to the female sex and be divorced or separated. Conclusions: The present study showed the existence of significant associations between depressive symptoms and eating habits (milk and dairy products, olive oil and wine). However, these data are not yet fully conclusive for a Brazilian population. New studies are needed to define a relationship between the habit and consumption of food groups and a chance to develop depressive symptoms in the elderly.

Full textEsta dissertação pretende estimar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em idosos segundo três níveis de complexidade de atenção à saúde e estudar a co-ocorrência de sintomas depressivos e incapacidade funcional. No Brasil, a transição demográfica ocorreu de forma rápida e explosiva. À medida que o número de idosos cresce ocorre o aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas e suas complicações. A habilidade funcional pode ser vista como uma medida de resumo do impacto geral das condições médicas no contexto do ambiente e do sistema de apoio social do indivíduo, e deve ser uma consideração importante em qualquer planejamento de saúde. Uma enfermidade associada a elevado grau de incapacidade funcional é a depressão. Entre os agravos de saúde mental, a depressão é um dos mais comuns e importantes problemas psiquiátricos entre indivíduos idosos. Trata-se de estudo transversal com tamanho amostral de 643 idosos com idade de 65 ou mais anos selecionados aleatoriamente e usuários de três serviços públicos de saúde com níveis crescentes de complexidade (primário, secundário e terciário). A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi estimada a partir da EDG-15, já traduzida e validada para uso no Brasil. O nível de estado funcional foi definido conforme os escores dos instrumentos SF-36 e HAQ. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos na amostra total foi de 45,2% (IC=41,1 49,3). Estratificando por unidade, a prevalência foi de 35,3% no nível primário, 47,6% no nível secundário e 51,7% no nível terciário (p=0,004). As prevalências encontradas foram altas nos três níveis de complexidade de atendimento, inclusive na população de idosos da unidade básica de saúde, apesar de serem idosos mais independentes e mais saudáveis. A prevalência geral de sintomas depressivos aumentou à medida que o grau de incapacidade funcional também aumentou. A busca ativa por idosos com sintomas depressivos é importante em todos os níveis de complexidade de atendimento do sistema de saúde.
This dissertation aims to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in the elderly according to three levels of complexity of health care and to study the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and levels of functional capacity. In Brazil, the demographic transition occurred quickly and explosive. As the number of elderly grows there is an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and their complications. The functional ability can be seen as a summary measure of overall impact of medical conditions in the context of environment and social support system of the individual, and should be an important consideration in any planning of health. A condition associated with a high degree of disability is depression. Among the grievances of mental health, depression is one of the most common and important psychiatric problems among the elderly. This is cross-sectional study with a sample size of 643 elderly aged 65 or over, randomly selected, and users of three public health services with increasing levels of complexity (primary, secondary and tertiary). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was estimated from the EDG-15, already translated and validated for use in Brazil. The level of functional status was defined as the scores of instruments SF-36 and HAQ. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the total sample was 45.2% (CI = 41.1 to 49.3). Stratified by unit, the prevalence was 35.3% at primary level, 47.6% at secondary level and 51.7% at the tertiary level (p = 0.004). Prevalence rates were high in the three levels of complexity of care, including the elderly population in primary care unit, although the elderly are more independent and healthier. The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms increased as the degree of disability has also increased. The active search for elderly patients with depressive symptoms is important at all levels of complexity of care in the health system.

Depression is a pervasive mental health concern; thus, it is important to identify modifiable risk factors associated with reducing depressive symptoms across time. Using 1,946 married and cohabiting German couples assessed annually across 4 years from the Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics (Pairfam) study, we tested if shifts across time in sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction were linked with expected shifts in trajectories of depressive symptoms using dyadic time-varying covariate growth models. For both men and women, higher sexual and relationship satisfaction scores across time were significantly associated with decreasing their own depressive symptom trajectories across time, but only relationship satisfaction was linked with a shift in their partners’ trajectories of depressive symptoms. Potential clinical implications from these results include the treatment of depressive symptoms by making changes across time in their own relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction.

Full textBackground: The prevalence of depression is rising and it is expected to be the most common disease by 2020. The most common treatment for depression today is pharmacological through antidepressants, which increases the risk of side effects. One type of non-pharmacologically treatment for depression is physical activity, which both promotes health and prevents the upcoming of diseases without any side-effects. Despite the fact that physical activity is scientifically proven as a treatment that leads to health benefits, it has not yet grown into an accepted treatment for depression. Aim:The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of physical activity among adults with depression or depressive symptoms. Method:A literature review based on ten qualitive articles. The articles were analyzed based on Friberg’s five-step model. An inductive approach was used. Result:The analysis generated two main themes and seven subthemes. The main themes are Psychological changes andThe importance of external factors among adults with depression and depressive symptom. The result presents the positive and negative experiences of physical activity among adults with depression and depressive symptoms. Support can increase the positive experience of physical activity, while external pressure tends to exacerbate the depressive symptoms and make the experience negative. Conclusion: The result showed that the experience of physical activity was different in different people with depression and depressive symptoms. It generated in positive experiences through, among other things, strengthened motivation and sense of control, but also negative in terms of weakened self-esteem. The health care needs more knowledge and understanding within the subject, in which the nurse has a central role, to apply physical activity as a nursing measure adapted to the individual’s needs and life situation.

Full textResearch shows that men are less likely to seek help for their mental health issues and that masculine norms that dictate how a man should be lie behind this unwillingness to seek help. The objective of this qualitative study was to research how masculinity norms impact young mens perceptions about men with depression or depressive symptoms. This was accomplished through Connells (1999) theory about hegemonic masculinity and Link and Phelans (2001) conceptualization of stigma. In order to fulfill the purpose of this study three focus group interviews were conducted with young men between the ages of 20 and 35 years. The main results show that the interviewed men described traits such as being handy, strong, disciplined and tough as typically manly and desirable in a man. According to the men the fear of seeking help that exists among men stems in the fear of being perceived as weak and there is an idea of depressed men being lonely and abnormal. The conclusion of this study is that masculine norms, being perceived as non-masculine and the fear of stigmatization are important factors behind how the interviewed men reasoned and talked about men with depression and how they handle it.

Full textSyftet med föreliggande empiriska studie var att undersöka och beskriva i vilken omfattning individer behandlade med hemodialys rapporterar symtom på depression. Författarna ville även redogöra för den utsträckning antidepressiva läkemedel ordinerats samt om det existerade några könsskillnader i depressionssymtom och i ordinerad antidepressiv behandling. Studien baserades på ett bekvämlighetsurval från 11 geografiskt spridda dialysenheter i Sverige. Urvalet bestod av 222 patienter som mötte inklusionskriterierna (behärska svenska språket tillräckligt bra för att förstå frågorna i enkäten, genomgått hemodialys behandling i minst 6 månader samt vara 18 år fyllda) varav 141 patienter fullföljde undersökningen. Dessa 141 deltagare fick fylla i den förkortade versionen av CES-D formuläret, ett självskattnings instrument där den egna mentala hälsan skattas. Resultatet visade att drygt en tredjedel av hemodialyspatienterna hade depressionssymtom och endast 12 patienter av 50 med depressionssymtom var ordinerade antidepressiv behandling. Emellertid visade inte föreliggande studie några signifikanta könsskillnader gällande depressionssymtom eller i ordinerad farmakologisk behandling. Författarna drar slutsatsen att depression är vanligt bland hemodialyspatienter. Därför är det viktigt att utbilda både vårdgivare och närstående för att de ska kunna se tecken på depressionssymtom i ett tidigt skede, eftersom rätt behandling kan öka dessa patienters livskvalitet och samtidigt vara kostnadsbesparande för sjukvården
The aim of the present empirical study was to investigate and describe in which extent individuals treated with hemodialysis reported symptoms of depression. The authors also wanted to describe in which extent antidepressant medicine was prescribed. Also if there existed any differences between males and females in depressive symptoms and if there was any divergence in treatment with anti depressive medicals. The study was based on a convenience sample from 11 geographical spread dialys units in Sweden. The sample consisted of 222 patients whom fulfilled the inclusion criterias (they had to have a good knowledge of the Swedish language so they could understand the questionnaire, at least six months of dialysis treatment experience and be at least 18 years old) of whom 141 carried out the study. These 141 participants filled out the short version of the CES-D form, a self report form where the mental health was estimated. The result showed that one third of the hemodialysis patients had symptoms of depression and only 12 patients of 50 had treatment with antidepressant medicine. However the study did not show any significant differences between male and female regarding depressive state and treatment with anti depressive medicine. The authors conclude that depressive symptoms are common among hemodialysis patients. That is why it is important to educate nurses and relatives so they can learn how to see signs of depressive symptoms as early as possible. Right treatment could then increase hemodialysis patients quality of life and also save money for the hospitals.

Full textBackground: To this day there’s approximately 350 million people in the world who are suffering from depression. The World Health Organization predicts that depression will be the number one public health problem in the world by the year 2030. Depressive symptoms form the basis of depression. To get the diagnoses depression the symptoms must have been ongoing for more than two weeks. Psychotherapy and antidepressants is the treatment as standard for depression to this day. As early as the year 1905, the idea was raised whether physical activity had an impact on depressive symptoms. Dorothea Orem’s nursing theory is about self-care and only when the person is motivated enough to perform physical activity the self-care can be possible. Aim: To compile scientific studies regarding physical activity and its impact on depressive symptoms in adults and the elderly. Method: A literature review which is based on 15 quantitative articles, one qualitative and one mixed method which all used different scales to estimate the degree of depressive symptoms. The article searches have been made in the databases CINAHL, PsycINFO and PubMed. Results: The results in the quantitative studies showed that physical activity has an impact on depressive symptoms which reflects their decreases according to the scales used for estimation. The studies also showed that intensity, frequency and type of physical activity have an effect on the impact on the depressive symptoms and an individual adjustment is required. The qualitative study showed that the participants felt satisfied after the exercise, that they gained self-confidence and a better self-esteem. Conclusion: According to the research, physical activity has an impact on depressive symptoms, which means that the depression alleviates or that the person even recovers from the depression which is shown when the score on the used scale doesn’t meet the criteria for the diagnosis depression.

Full textMental illness such as depression typically onsets during adolescence and is closely associated with pain. However, research is lacking regarding the role of parenting in the development and maintenance of comorbid pain and depression. The purpose of the current study is to examine associations between adolescents’ perceived maternal and paternal attachment, depressive symptoms and debilitating pain. The study investigates whether the level of debilitating pain is associated with youths’ perceived attachment and depressive symptoms over time. This was examined using longitudinal data from the Three City Study with a sample of 1770 participants aged 13 to 19. Results from the logistical regression showed that higher levels of depressive symptoms (CES-DC) were associated with higher pain one year later. However, the results did not show a similar association between lower quality of attachment (IPPA-R) and higher pain. Conclusions are based on the Örebro Behavioral Emotion Regulation Model in which emotional regulation is pivotal. An extension of the model is suggested which includes the potential indirect effect of attachment quality on depressive symptoms and pain, via emotion regulation. Hence, future research should probe this indirect effect by measuring emotion regulation and examine this in relation to attachment, debilitating pain and depressive symptoms.

Full textThe Night Eating syndrome (NES), is often elevated in obese but its cause has not been well established. In particular, this condition has not been investigated in Brazil. The objective of this work was investigate the frequency of NES symptoms in candidates for bariatric surgery and assess its implications in sleep quality and depressive symptoms. 100 patients from Bariatric Surgery Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary hospital in Fortaleza were selected, and these night eating symptoms were measured by the Night eating Questionnaire (NEQ), sleep quality by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the daytime sleepiness by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the depressive symptoms, by Beck Depression Inventory short form and the risk for obstructive sleep apnea by Berlin Questionnaire. It was performed a comparative analysis of the results obtained from patients with night eating symptom scores suggestive of NES. The patients included in the study were predominantly women (76%), with age between 18 and 64 (mean  SD = 34.8  9.3) years and BMI between 31.3 and 72.4 (46.9  8.5) kg/mÂ. Poor quality sleep (PSQI > 5) was observed in 56 patients, excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS > 10) in 27; depressive symptoms (Beck > 4) in 80 and high risk for obstructive sleep apnea in 73. Seventeen patients showed symptoms suggestive of NES, without difference in age, BMI, degree of daytime sleepiness and risk of sleep apnea in obese when compared to the other patients. The group with symptoms suggestive of NES had a worse sleep quality (9.3  4.9 and 6.6  3.7, p = 0.01) and more depressive symptoms (16, 7  7.6 and 9.5  7.0, p = 0.001) than the other obese. A higher proportion of patients with symptoms suggestive of NES was in use of antidepressants than other patients (29.4 and 10.8%,p = 0.04). These data show that NES symptoms are common in bariatric surgery candidates and their presence is associated with more depressive symptoms and worse quality of sleep. Also, in particular, the high frequency of severe depressive symptoms among patients with a suggestive picture of NES highlights the importance of identifying this condition in the context of specialized services to treat obesity. Further studies on the impact of the NES and its treatment are needed to allow a better approach to this problem
A sÃndrome alimentar noturna (SAN) tem freqÃÃncia elevada nos obesos, embora ainda nÃo tenha sido estabelecida uma relaÃÃo causal. De modo particular, essa condiÃÃo nÃo foi investigada no Brasil entre os candidatos a cirurgia bariÃtrica. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a frequÃncia de sintomas alimentares noturnos sugestivos de SAN em candidatos a cirurgia bariÃtrica, bem como avaliar sua relaÃÃo com a qualidade do sono e sintomas depressivos. Foram estudados 100 pacientes do ambulatÃrio de cirurgia bariÃtrica de um hospital terciÃrio da rede pÃblica de saÃde de Fortaleza. Os sintomas alimentares noturnos foram avaliados atravÃs da Escala de Sintomas Alimentares Noturnos (ESAN), a qualidade do sono pelo Ãndice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (IQSP), a sonolÃncia diurna, pela Escala de SonolÃncia de Epworth (ESE), os sintomas depressivos pelo InventÃrio de DepressÃo de Beck e o risco para apneia obstrutiva do sono pelo questionÃrio de Berlim. Foi realizada uma anÃlise comparativa entre resultados obtidos de pacientes com e sem sintomas alimentares noturnos sugestivos da SAN (ESAN>25). Os indivÃduos foram predominantemente mulheres (76%), com idades entre 18 e 64 (mÃdiaÂDP = 34,8 Â9,3) anos e IMC entre 31,3 e 72,4 (46,9  8,5) kg/mÂ. MÃ-qualidade do sono (IQSP>5) foi observada em 56 pacientes; sonolÃncia excessiva diurna (ESE> 10) em 27; sintomas depressivos (Beck > 4) em 80 e o risco elevado para apneia obstrutiva do sono em 73. Dezessete pacientes apresentaram sintomas sugestivos de SAN, sem diferenÃa quanto a idade, IMC, grau de sonolÃncia diurna e risco de apneia do sono, em relaÃÃo aos demais obesos. O grupo com sintomas sugestivos de SAN, comparado aos demais, apresentou pior qualidade de sono (9,3Â4,9 e 6,6Â3,7; p= 0,01) e mais sintomas depressivos (16,7Â7,6 e 9,5Â7,0; p= 0,001). Uma proporÃÃo maior dos pacientes com sintomas sugestivos de SAN fazia uso de antidepressivos (29,4 e 10,8%; p=0,04). Nossos resultados indicam que sintomas alimentares noturnos sÃo comuns nos candidatos a cirurgia bariÃtrica e sua presenÃa està associada a mais sintomas depressivos e pior qualidade do sono. A freqÃÃncia elevada de sintomas depressivos graves entre os pacientes com quadro sugestivo de SAN destaca a importÃncia da identificaÃÃo dessa condiÃÃo no tratamento da obesidade. Estudos adicionais sobre o impacto da SAN e de seu tratamento sÃo necessÃrios para permitir uma abordagem mais adequada deste problema

Full textThe present essay is organized in two sections, which main target is studying child depression in institutionalized children. The first section consists of a systematic bibliographic review to examine or analyze the scientific production, concerning the studies where assessments tools were used to evaluate child depression in the last ten years. To make it possible, a search in the following national and international database files was made (September 2003 to August 2013.): Virtual Library in Health- BVS Psi Scielo, Lilacs, Index Psi Magazines and Pepsic, using different combination among keywords. The results showed that the studies were in conducted various areas of knowledge, and that the predominant method of descriptive research with quantitative data analyzes. A total of twenty-eight articles were brought up. The results showed that the studies were in conducted various areas of knowledge, and that the predominant method of descriptive research with quantitative data analyzes. Considerable proportion of articles aimed to investgate the factors that cause childhood depression (N=10; 35,7%) and related to such pathology symptoms (N=7; 25%). Ten different instruments to analyze child depression were found. The Child Depression Inventory CDI was the instrument of major incidence (N=21; 75%) and presented good intern consistency with the selected studies. The second section is about an empiric article which aims at analyzing depressive symptoms in institutionalized sheltered children, compared to children living with their families. Fifty male and female children were part of this study aged between 7 and 11 years old. Twentythree of these children lived in institutions-shelter and twenty-seven lived with their families. To analyze children depressive symptoms, the following instruments or resources were used; CDI, CBCL and the Rorschach-SC. The results showed that institutionalized children reveal more depressive symptoms, present more emotional distress, have affective expression with no modulation, are immature and inopportune, they also have more aggressive behavior and present difficulty in following rules. Significant correlation between depressive symptoms and externalizing behavior was found (r = 0,43; p<0,05). In general, both sections of this dissertation bring up the importance of considering psychological aspects that influence in the appearing, the symptoms and investigation of child depression.
A presente dissertação está organizada em dois capítulos que têm como objetivo principal estudar sintomas depressivos em crianças institucionalizadas. O primeiro capítulo consiste em uma revisão bibliográfica sistematizada a fim de analisar a produção científica acerca dos estudos que fizeram uso de instrumentos de avaliação dos sintomas depressivos em crianças no Brasil, nos últimos dez anos (2004 2013). Para isso, foi realizada uma busca na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, na área específica de Psicologia (BVS-PSI), utilizando as seguintes bases de dados: Scielo, Lilacs, Index Psi Revistas e Pepsic, utilizando diferentes combinações entre palavras-chave. Foram levantados, no total, 28 artigos. Os resultados mostraram que os estudos foram realizados por diversas áreas do conhecimento e que predominou o método de pesquisa descritivo com análise quantitativa de dados. Considerável parte dos artigos teve como objetivo investigar os fatores que causam a depressão infantil (N=10, 35,7%) e sintomas relacionados a tal patologia (N=7; 25%). Foram encontrados 10 instrumentos diferentes que foram utilizados para avaliar sintomas depressivos em criança. O Inventário de Depressão infantil CDI foi o instrumento de maior incidência (N=21; 75%) e apresentou boa consistência interna nos estudos selecionados. O segundo capítulo trata-se de um artigo empírico que tem por objetivo analisar sintomas depressivos em crianças em situação de acolhimento institucional comparadas com crianças que vivem com suas famílias. Participaram deste estudo 50 crianças, do sexo masculino e feminino, com idades entre sete e onze anos, sendo que 23 crianças residiam em instituições e 27 crianças residiam com suas famílias. Foram utilizados para avaliar sintomas de depressão infantil os seguintes instrumentos: CDI, CBCL e o Rorschach SC. Os resultados revelaram que as crianças institucionalizadas apresentavam mais sintomas depressivos, desconforto emocional, expressões afetivas mais imaturas e sem modulação, mais comportamentos agressivos e dificuldade em seguir regras. Foi encontrada correlação significativa entre sintomas depressivos e comportamentos externalizantes (r = 0,43; p<0,05). De maneira geral, os dois capítulos da Dissertação realçam a importância de se considerar aspectos psicológicos que influenciam no surgimento, na sintomatologia e na investigação da depressão infantil.
