Full textLe système des polyamines joue un rôle essentiel dans une myriade de fonctions cellulaires, et la dysrégulation du métabolisme et du fonctionnement des polyamines ont été impliqué dans quelques conditions pathologiques, incluant les troubles neurologiques et psychiatriques. Durant les dernières années, des études investiguant l'expression des gènes et les associations génétiques ont apporté des preuves convaincantes impliquant le système des polyamines dans le suicide. Ces études, par contre, n'indiquaient pas à quel point le métabolisme des polyamines est affecté dans les cerveaux de suicidés, ni si des mécanismes similaires sont impliqués dans d'autres conditions psychiatriques, et ne traitaient pas des événements moléculaires par lesquels ces altérations dans l'expression des gènes se présentent. Les études comprises dans cette thèse ont donc été conçus pour répondre à ces questions, car ils représentent les considérations essentielles pour interpréter les résultats antérieurs concernant le système des polyamines, ainsi que pour évaluer le potentiel de ce système à être utilisé comme cible thérapeutique pour le traitement des comportements suicidaires. Pour répondre à ces questions, une combinaison d'études examinant l'expression des gènes et d'études d'associations génétiques ont d'abord été réalisées afin de mieux caractériser dans quelle mesure le métabolisme des polyamines est affecté dans les cerveaux de suicidés. De plus, ces études ont permis de déterminer si des mécanismes similaires sont impliqués dans d'autres conditions psychiatriques et d'évaluer comment l'expression de ces gènes est liée à l'environnement local génétique. Suite à ces études, une série d'expériences ont été effectuées pour enquêter sur l'implication des mécanismes génétiques et épigénétiques dans la détermination de l'expression des gènes des polyamines dans le cerveau, ainsi que pour évaluer l

Resumo: O desenvolvimento das políticas de saúde mental em países com sistemas nacionais de saúde se constituíram a partir de princípios relativos aos seus diferentes processos históricos , mas com diversos pontos de aproximação que são hoje consensos: ampliação das práticas comunitárias, fechamento progressivos dos hospitais psiquiátricos, diversificação de pontos de atenção, aumento do orçamento próprio, trabalho em rede, etc... Os estudos comparados nos permitem analisar realidades em paralelo para evidenciar aspectos convergentes e divergentes diante de organizações distintas, mas com objetivos comuns, possibilitando organizar matrizes que analise os avanços e desafios da rede de atenção à saúde mental. Este estudo pretende analisar e comparar as redes de atenção à saúde mental do Brasil e da Catalunha através dos componentes macro estruturais da política de cada território. Trata-se de uma tese apresentada em modelo alternativo, com 3 artigos com metodologia e resultados, próprios ancorados em revisão narrativa, análise documental e análise de indicadores de saúde. Ambos territórios possuem Leis que sustentam o modelo de saúde mental de base comunitária, Na Catalunha a política é construída de modo mais técnico e verticalizado, influenciado pelas OMS, enquanto no Brasil a construção é ascendente com ampla participação social na definição das ações. O financiamento na Catalunha é maior tanto na saúde global quanto especifico da saúde mental, no SUS a saúde mental é área subfinanciada dentro de um sistema subfinanciado. Em ambas o foco do financiamento vem se alterando, com maior investimento em serviços comunitários, mas a Catalunha ainda despende maior parte do financiamento para os hospitais. O modelo de gestão dos serviços é distinto, no Brasil ainda é fundamentalmente de gestão direta e na Catalunha indireto. O modelo de Governança regional da Catalunha é mais adequada que o municipalismo brasileiro, pois reduz a fragmentação sistêmica e possibilita organização em redes mais integradas. Ambos possuem uma rede ampla e diversificada de serviços, mas com necessidade em lidar com o contingente amplo de moradores de Hospitais Psiquiátricos e avançar em mecanismos avaliativos que respondam a complexidade da política
Abstract: The development of mental health policies in countries with national health systems constituted from principles concerning their different historical processes, but with different points that are now consensus: expansion of community practices, progressive closure of psychiatric hospitals, diversification points of attention, increase the budget itself, networking, etc ... The comparative studies allows us to analyze realities in parallel to highlight convergent and divergent aspects in different organizations, but with common goals, which allows us to organize arrays to analyze progress and challenges of mental health care network. This study aims to analyze and compare the care networks to mental health in Brazil and Catalonia through macro structural components of the policy of each territory. This is a thesis presented in alternative model, with 3 items with methodology and results, themselves anchored in narrative review, document analysis and analysis of health indicators. Both territories have laws that support the mental health community-based model, in Catalonia politics are built of more technical and vertical mode, influenced by WHO, while in Brazil the construction is up with broad social participation in the definition of actions. Funding in Catalonia is greater both in global and specific health mental health, the SUS mental health is underfunded area within a system underfunded. In both cases the focus of the funding is changing, with greater investment in community services, but Catalonia still spends most of the funding in hospitals. The management model of services is different in each country, in Brazil is still fundamentally direct management and in Catalonia, is indirect. The regional governance model of Catalonia is more appropriate than the Brazilian municipal model because it reduces systemic fragmentation and enables the organizations in more integrated networks. Both have a wide and diverse network services, but need to deal with the large number of residents of psychiatric hospitals and advance evaluation mechanisms that respond to the complexity of the policy

Full textAttachment theory has been applied in examining an individual's relationship with God through various research studies. Few research studies, however, have examined a romantic couples' relationship with God and each other as part of a family system. The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory study was to develop a deeper understanding of the relational system of married couples and God. I interviewed nine marital couples from multiple Christian denominations that reported having a strong relationship with each other and a strong relationship with God together. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using constructivist grounded theory techniques presented by Charmaz (2006). I analyzed emergent categories of behaviors, emotions, and cognitions to construct a theory and model of marital couples and their shared relationship with God. I compared and contrasted the results and theory to existing literature on attachment theory as well as theology on kinship covenant to demonstrate a shared attachment to God that reflects a covenant attachment system. Finally, I discuss clinical, pastoral and future research implications.

Full textThe purpose of this project was to write a grant to develop a mentoring program for foster youth. The program will be designed for minority male youth, ages 12 to 18, and will espouse the Recovery Model. This model seeks to promote client empowerment by allowing the minority males to have a say in the selection of mentors. The client will have a large state in their treatment plan and other goals concerning permanency following departure from the out of home foster care environment.
A literature review was conducted in order to provide empirical evidence in support of a mentoring program. The mentoring program will be located in Ettie Lee Youth & Family Services, located in Los Angeles County. The actual submission or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of the project.

Full textScope of Study: The scope of this theoretical study is comprised of an extensive review and interpretation of published studies by governmental organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO); non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and individuals detailing the theories, concepts, and relationships that exist regarding the social and economic effects of the global burden of mental health disorders and the substantial treatment gap of mental health conditions in low-resourced settings such as Haiti. Humanitarian emergencies are presented as opportunities to build better mental health systems in low-income countries (LICs). Exploring Haiti’s trauma signature (TSIG) identified risk factors for post-disaster mental health consequences to include posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) within the adult population. Three culturally relevant community-based mental health programs Soulaje Lespri Moun (SLM), Partners in Health/Zanmi Lasante (PIH/ZL), and Pwogwam Sante´ Mantal (PSM), and one hospital-centered program, Project Medishare Hospital, are highlighted to demonstrate the implementation of successful mental health care services in post-earthquake Haiti. This project is focused on confronting the barriers to mental health services in Haiti with the goal of developing a long-term sustainable mental health system.
Findings and Conclusions: This research project’s findings are congruent with previous research, which described coordinating with local leadership and integrating culturally relevant, community-focused, and evidence-based mental health care with existing health services. These elements are essential in the development of long-term sustainable services in LICs.
The final chapter is a presentation of recommendations for future areas of inquiry to contribute to greater understanding of global mental health needs, prevention, and delivery of services in LICs before and after complex humanitarian crises. Expanding sustainable mental health care for Haiti will reduce disability and suffering from mental illnesses and build a stronger and more resilient society.

Full textA review of the literature has shown that there is a lack of mental health information on which to base planning of mental health services and decisions concerning programme development for mental health services. Several studies have indicated that the use of an evidence-based health information system (HIS) reduces inappropriate clinical practices and promotes the quality of health care services. This study was aimed at developing a framework for a district-based mental health information management system, utilising the experiences of health care providers and caregivers about a district mental health information system (DMHIS). Activity Theory was used as the philosophical foundation of the information system for the study. A qualitative approach was employed using semi-structured individual interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), systematic review and document analysis. The intervention research design and development model of Rothman and Thomas (1994) was used to guide the study, which was conducted in the Cape Town Metropole area of the Western Cape. A purposive, convenient sampling method was employed to select study participants. Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from the University of the Western Cape, and permission to use the health facilities from the Department of Health. The data collection process involved 62 individual interview participants, from mental health nurses to district health managers, health information clerks, and patient caregivers/families and persons with stable mental conditions. Thirteen caregivers took part in the FGDs. Document review was conducted at three community mental health centres. The data were analysed manually using content analysis. Core findings of the interviews were lack of standardized information collection tools and contents for mental health, information infrastructure, capacity building, and resources. Information processing in terms of collection, compiling, analysing, feedback, access and sharing information were the major problems. Results from document analysis identified inconsistencies and inaccuracies of information recording and processing, which in turn affected the quality of information for decision making. Results from the systematic review identified five functional elements: organizational structure; information infrastructure; capacity building; inputs, process, output and feedback; and community and stakeholders’ participation in the design and implementation of a mental health information system (MHIS). The study has contributed a framework for a DMHIS based on the findings of the empirical and systematic review. It is recommended that there is a need to establish a HIS committee at district health facility level for effective implementation of the framework and quality information processing. There is a need to ensure that staffs have adequate knowledge and skills required for effective implementation of an information system. It is recommended that higher education institutions include a course on HISs in their curriculum. It is suggested that the South African Mental Health Policy be reviewed to include an MHIS and ensure involvement of the community and stakeholders in this system as well as adequate budget allocation.
