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.

Introdução: Depressão ou morbidade depressiva, é uma doença mental complexa que inclui diferentes fenótipos e sintomas, com desfechos negativos na saúde. Os diferentes distúrbios psiquiátricos, assim como a presença de sintomas depressivos, têm sido associados a dieta e hábitos alimentares. Objetivos: Investigar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e aspectos relacionados ao estado nutricional e alimentação, em idosos residentes na da Zona Oeste do município de São Paulo. Métodos: O presente estudo é epidemiológico, transversal, de base comunitária, com 2.643 idosos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. Foram consideradas como variáveis: a- Dependente: Sintomas Depressivos pela escala proposta pelo Centro de Estudos Epidemiológicos para identificação de sintomas depressivos (CES-D); Variáveis independentes (preditores): Estado nutricional a partir das medidas antropométricas (peso e altura com posterior cálculo do IMC, e circunferência da cintura); Respostas a algumas questões relacionadas ao hábito de consumir determinados alimentos ou grupos de alimentos, e hábito de fazer as refeições diárias. Foram ainda avaliadas as variáveis relacionadas a presença de doenças crônicas (hipertensão, diabetes e hipercolesterolemia); características sócio econômicas e demográficas (critério de Classificação Econômica Brasileira (CCEB). As variáveis foram analisadas por regressão logística binária, adotando significativos os valores de p <0,05. Resultados: Foi encontrada uma prevalência elevada de sintomas depressivos (38%); associaram-se positivamente aos sintomas depressivos o hábito em consumir frutas, feijões, leites e derivados, azeite, água e vinho. Após ajustes pelas variáveis clínicas, socioeconômicas e demográficas, permaneceram significantes no modelo final o hábito em consumir leites e derivados, azeite e vinho; o hábito em realizar o almoços e jantar; relatar a presença de HAS; pertencer ao sexo feminino e estar divorciado ou separado. Conclusões: O presente estudo mostrou a existência de associações significativas entre sintomas depressivos e o hábito em consumir determinados alimentos (leite e derivados, azeite e vinho). Porém tais dados ainda não são totalmente conclusivos para a população brasileira. Novos estudos fazem-se necessários para esclarecer a relação entre o hábito em consumir determinados grupos de alimentos e a chance em desenvolver sintomas depressivos em idosos.
Background: 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.

Esta 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.

Depression in adolescents is a ubiquitous mental health problem presenting ambiguities, uncertainties, and diverse challenges in its conceptualization, presentation, detection, and treatment. Despite the plethora of research on adolescent depression, there exists a paucity of research in regards to obtaining information from the adolescents themselves. In a mixed method, cross-sectional study, adolescents (N= 332) in grades 8 and 11 provided their conceptions of depression. Adolescents' self-recognition of depression was examined in association with depressive symptomatology and reported pathways to talking to someone. Adolescents' social and emotional competence was also examined in association with severity of their depressive symptomatology. Developed categories and subcategories of adolescent depression were guided by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE) (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). Adolescents' definitions of depression were dominated by subjective, holistic interpretations and add new information and depth to the previous research on adolescent depression. Depressed Mood and Social Impairment were the core categories, both contained intricate subcategories. The frequencies of these constructs provide a map of the themes and subthemes that pervade adolescents' personal philosophies regarding adolescent depression. About half of the adolescents who self-recognized depression within two weeks (45%),qualify into screened depression (Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale -2" version [RADS-2];Reynolds, 2002) criteria based on the DSM-IV-TR for MDE (APA, 2000). However, this study's findings showed that the mean for screened Depression Total Score (RADS-2; Reynolds, 2002)was significantly higher in those adolescents who self-recognized versus those who did not self-recognize depression. The majority of lifetime self-recognizers of depression thought that they needed to talk to someone and reported that they talked to someone when feeling depressed. Poor Emotion Awareness was a strong contributor to increasing vulnerability to depressive symptomatology. This study provides new theoretical insights regarding the concept and detection of adolescent depression, and links between social and emotional competence and depressive symptomatology. These findings extend previous research (APA, 2000), provide new understanding to guide future research, and have direct implications for research, policy, and practice strategies aimed to better communicate with and help young people with and without depression.

Bakgrund:Depression ökar och beräknas globalt år 2020 vara den sjukdom som flest individer lider av. Idag behandlas depression främst med farmakologisk behandling såsom antidepressiva läkemedel, vilket ger en ökad risk för biverkningar. Fysisk aktivitet är både sjukdomsförebyggande och hälsofrämjande vid depression och en icke farmakologisk behandling utan biverkningar. Trots att fysisk aktivitet är en vetenskapligt bevisad metod som resulterar i hälsofördelar är det idag inte en vedertagen omvårdnadsåtgärd vid depression. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva upplevelsen av fysisk aktivitet hos vuxna med depression och depressiva symptom. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med tio kvalitativa artiklar. Artiklarna analyserades utifrån Fribergs femstegsmodell. En induktiv ansats valdes. Resultat: Analysen genererade två teman och sju subteman. Temana är Psykologiska förändringar och Yttre faktorers betydelse.I resultatet framkommer positiva och negativa psykologiska upplevelser av fysisk aktivitet hos personer med depression och depressiva symptom. Stöd utifrån kan öka den positiva upplevelsen av fysisk aktivitet, däremot tenderar yttre press att förvärra depressiva symptom och göra upplevelsen negativ. Slutsats: Resultatet visade att fysisk aktivitet upplevdes olika hos olika individer med depression och depressiva symptom. Det genererade i positiva upplevelser genom bland annat stärkt motivation och känsla av kontroll, samt även negativa i form av försvagat självförtroende. Det behövs en ökad kunskap, medvetenhet och förståelse i hälso- och sjukvården, där sjuksköterskan har en central roll, för att kunna tillämpa fysisk aktivitet som en omvårdnadsåtgärd anpassad efter individens behov och livssituation.
Background: 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.

Background: The Patient Health Questionnaire PHQ-9 is a widely used instrument to screen for depression in clinical research. The first aim of this study was to psychometrically test the PHQ-9 in a large sample of cancer patients. The second aim was to calculate unbiased estimates of the depression burden for several cancer groups taking into account age and gender distributions. Methods: A sample of 2,059 cancer patients with varying diagnoses were examined in this study six months after discharge from a rehabilitation clinic. A representative sample of 2,693 people from the general population served as controls. Expected PHQ-9 mean scores of the general population sample, regressed on age and gender, were calculated to enable a fair comparison of different groups of cancer patients. Results: While the reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) for the PHQ-9 scale was good (alpha ≥ 0.84), the CFA fit indices of the one-dimensional solution were unsatisfactory in the patients’ sample. The factorial analysis confirmed two factors. PHQ-9 mean scores for 15 types of cancer are given, ranging from 4.0 (prostate) to 8.2 (thyroid gland). Differences between expected mean scores (derived from the general population) and raw mean scores of the cancer subsamples are reported that provide a better estimate of the depression burden. Conclusions: The results confirmed that the PHQ-9 performs well in testing depression in cancer patients. Regression coefficients can be used for performing unbiased comparisons among cancer groups, not only for this study. The burden of patients with testis cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma is underestimated when age and gender are not taken into account.

Research 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.

Syftet 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.

Globalt sett ökar andelen äldre personer stadigt och antalet människor i åldrarna över 60 år beräknas i det närmaste fördubblas över de kommande 30 åren. Psykisk ohälsa är utbredd bland äldre och diagnosen depression är vanligast med en prevalens av 7%. Med stigande ålder följer naturligt försämringar av flertalet kognitiva funktioner, såsom i arbetsminnet. Men försämrade kognitiva funktioner kan även vara ett resultat av en individs mående. Den här studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan depressiva symptom och arbetsminneskapacitet hos äldre vuxna (50–75 år). Deltagarna delades även upp i grupperna medelålders (50–64) och äldre (65–75) för att se om något samband fanns mellan nämnda variabler då dessa grupper undersöktes separat. Korrelationsanalys samt regressionsanalyser genomfördes för det totala stickprovet (n = 192) samt undergrupperna. Inga signifikanta samband mellan depressiva symptom och arbetsminnets kapacitet fanns vilket kan bero på att deltagarna skattade förhållandevis låga nivåer av depressiva symptom.

Aims were to describe depressive symptoms among culturally Deaf adults, describe the words in American Sign Language (ASL) that best express depressive symptoms, and describe shared meaning of depressive symptoms. Primary care providers commonly discuss depressive symptoms with clients, which can lead to earlier identification of those at risk for depression. However, providers may not discuss depressive symptoms with Deaf clients due to communication barriers. Health care providers are rarely familiar with ASL, and depression screening tools are not easily translated from English to ASL. There has been no investigation about Deaf adult's experiences with depressive symptoms or the signs used to describe those experiences. The study method employed hermeneutic interviews and analysis. Nine culturally Deaf adults were interviewed three times each, and certified interpreters were used to assist with ASL communication. After reviewing each interview with the interpreter for accuracy of translation, text was generated through word-for-word transcription and researcher observations; text was then read to obtain a broad understanding of the experience. Findings: Symptoms described by Deaf adults paralleled those of hearing adults. Four shared meanings emerged: 1) Feeling depressed, defined as the physical and emotional manifestations of depression and the ASL signs and phrases used to communicate these; 2) Emotional chaos leading to depression, defined as experiences of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood that led to feelings of depression such as feeling different, feeling isolated from family and peers, feeling excluded, and feeling limited by others; 3) Reaching out, defined as learning to walk in the Deaf world while also navigating the hearing world; 4) I am Deaf - I am not broken! Conclusions: This research provided a description of depressive symptoms as may occur among culturally Deaf adults, which may lead to increased understanding of depression as experienced by and expressed by members of the Deaf culture. In this way, improved communication and understanding between health care providers and Deaf adults can be optimized. Such knowledge may potentiate the earlier identification of culturally Deaf adults at risk for depression in the primary care setting, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality in this underserved population.

Reliable und valide Informationen zur Häufigkeit und zu Korrelaten von Depression in der Allgemeinbevölkerung sind eine Voraussetzung für eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Gesundheitsversorgung und für Präventionsmaßnahmen. Die Vielfalt an Definitionen und die klinische Heterogenität von „Depression“ stellt eine Herausforderung für das Gesundheitsmonitoring und für die epidemiologische Forschung dar. Dies spiegelt sich in der Vielzahl an Depressionsmaßen wider. Daran anknüpfend ist das Ziel dieser kumulativen Dissertation, die Häufigkeiten und soziodemographischen und gesundheitsbezogenen Korrelate – mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der somatischen Komorbidität – eines breiten Spektrums etablierter Depressionsmaße in der erwachsenen Allgemeinbevölkerung in Deutschland zu untersuchen: von aktueller psychischer Belastung, depressiver Symptomatik und einem depressiven Syndrom über eine selbstberichtete ärztliche Depressionsdiagnose bis hin zu einer klinischen Major Depression. Datenbasis für die vier Originalarbeiten der Dissertation sind die bundesweit repräsentativen Querschnittstudien „Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell“ (GEDA, 18 Jahre und älter) und die „Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland“ (DEGS1, 19-79 Jahre) mit dem Modul Psychische Gesundheit (DEGS1-MH) des Robert Koch-Instituts (RKI). In Kapitel 1 werden Forschungshintergrund, Fragestellungen und Methoden der vier Originalarbeiten zusammengefasst und die Ergebnisse dargestellt. Es ergeben sich hohe Prävalenzen auf Basis aller Depressionsmaße. Zugleich wird deutlich, dass die jeweiligen Maße zu unterschiedlichen Prävalenzschätzungen führen und dass es nur moderate Schnittmengen der jeweils identifizierten Fallgruppen gibt. Weiterhin zeigt sich eine weitgehende, jedoch keine vollständige Übereinstimmung in assoziierten soziodemographischen und gesundheitsbezogenen Korrelaten. Dies betrifft auch die Assoziation mit chronischen somatischen Erkrankungen, für die sich teilweise unterschiedliche Muster zwischen den untersuchten Depressionsmaßen und zwischen den Altersgruppen zeigen. Es folgen eine synthetisierende Ergebnisdiskussion und die Ableitung von Implikationen für die epidemiologische Forschung, das Gesundheitsmonitoring und die klinische Praxis. Kapitel 2 enthält die vier Originalarbeiten der Dissertation.

Bakgrund: Idag är cirka 350 miljoner människor i världen drabbade av depression. World Health Organization spår att depression kommer vara det ledande folkhälsoproblemet i världen år 2030. Depressiva symtom utgör grunden för depression och kan vara till exempel sömnstörningar, skuldkänslor samt aptitlöshet. Dessa ska ha pågått i mer än två veckor. Idag är det psykoterapi och antidepressiva läkemedel vilka fungerar som standardbehandling vid depression. Redan år 1905 väcktes tanken huruvida fysisk aktivitet hade effekt på depressiva symtom. Dorothea Orems omvårdnadsteori handlar om egenvård och denna egenvård kan bli möjlig först när individen själv är motiverad att utföra den fysiska aktiviteten. Syfte: Att sammanställa studier om fysisk aktivitet har effekt på depressiva symtom hos vuxna och äldre personer. Metod: En litteraturöversikt som baserats på 15 kvantitativa artiklar, en kvalitativ och en mixad metod. I studierna användes olika skalor för att skatta graden av depressiva symtom. Artikelsökningarna har gjorts i databaserna CINAHL, PsycINFO och PubMed. Resultat: Resultaten i de kvantitativa studierna påvisade att fysisk aktivitet har effekt på depressiva symtom som yttrar sig i att dessa minskar enligt de skalor som använts för skattning. Forskningen påvisade även att intensiteten, frekvensen och typ av fysisk aktivitet kan ha betydelse för effekten på de depressiva symtomen samt nödvändig individanpassning. Den kvalitativa studien påvisade att deltagarna kände sig nöjda efter träningen, att de fick ökat självförtroende samt bättre självkänsla. All fysisk aktivitet som behandlade effekt på depressiva symtom är egenvård. Konklusion: Enligt forskningen framkom det att fysisk aktivitet har effekt på depressiva symtom vilket innebär att depressionen blir lindrigare i sin form alternativt går tillbaka då poängen på använd skala inte uppfyller kriterierna för diagnosen depression.
Background: 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.

Objectives. Evaluate differences in depressive symptoms, compare sociodemographic and health-related variables associated with depressive symptoms and report level of impact of depressive symptoms on daily activities. Methods. Cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) diagnostic survey on 1115 patients aged 60–93 years who attended a primary care clinic in Korea, Russia or USA. Results. At least mild depression (PHQ-9 score of ≥5) occurred in 28% of Koreans, 65% of Russian and 27% of US participants. Russians scored more depressed on all PHQ-9 items (P < 0.01) and more suicidal thoughts (P < 0.001), while Koreans had less feelings of worthlessness (P < 0.001). Depression predictors included poorer self-rated health [odds ratio (OR) 2.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84–3.33, P < 0.0001], chronic diseases (OR 1.34, CI 1.21–1.48, P < 0.0001), female gender (OR 1.56, CI 1.15–2.12, P = 0.0046) and religious attendance (OR 0.88, CI 0.79–0.97, P = 0.0099) for all subjects. Being employed was protective in Korea (OR 0.41, CI 0.21–0.77, P = 0.0061) and being married (OR 0.42, CI 0.27–0.66, P = 0.0002) and of older age (OR 0.95, CI 0.93–0.98, P = 0.0006) protective in US participants. Vascular disease was associated with depressive symptoms in Russia (OR 3.47, CI 1.23–9.80, P = 0.0187). In regression analyses stratified by country for a given level of depressive symptoms, the Russian sample had less impact on daily activities (Russia R2 = 0.107 versus Korea R2 = 0.211 and US R2 = 0.419) P = 0.029. Conclusions. Depressive symptoms were more common in Russia than in Korea and USA but had less impact on daily functioning. Cultural or environmental factors may account for this finding.

Background Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and commencement of lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) with the requirement of high adherence can exacerbate or trigger depressive disorders. Prevalence of major depression is substantially higher in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) than those in the general population. More than 50% of PLWHA are likely to meet one or more criteria for depression in their lifetime. However, access to interventions for depressive disorders remains limited in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) where more than 90% of people with depressive disorders are not receiving formal treatment. The role of evidence-based psychological treatments has been fundamental in reducing the huge treatment gap in LMICs. Although brief, flexible and effective psychological treatments are emerging, issues in relation to their acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness in HIV populations remain unexplored. Therefore, this thesis aimed to adapt and pilot group interpersonal therapy (IPT) for treatment of depressive symptoms including its acceptability and feasibility for PLWHA. This thesis has been the first that attempted to adapt and pilot group IPT for treatment of depression in the HIV population in Ethiopia. The findings of this thesis can serve as a baseline for researchers interested in adapting or developing psychological treatments in the HIV population in Ethiopia. The findings contribute information on the process used in examining acceptability and feasibility of psychological interventions which provides indications for conducting future trials to test the effectiveness of group IPT. Methods First, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was conducted to identify the most effective psychological treatments for depressive symptoms for PLWHA in LMICs. Second, a survey of major depressive disorder (MDD) was conducted among PLWHA who were attending ART follow-up appointments at the Felege-Hiwot Referral Hospital (FHRH) in Northwest Ethiopia. The survey served as a baseline to identify cases for piloting of group IPT and helped to identify areas for intervention. Third, the intervention areas were further explored among stakeholders from the ART clinic including PLWHA and this was followed by a stepwise adaptation of the group IPT manual. Furthermore, a formative qualitative study was conducted to examine explanatory models of depression and to explore acceptable contexts for implementation of group IPT. A total of three focus groups were conducted with purposively selected case managers, adherence supporters and service users 2 at the ART clinic. The qualitative data were analysed based on a framework approach using predefined thematic concepts. Fourth, a pilot study of the group IPT intervention was conducted among PLWHA to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of peer-administered group IPT for treatment of depressive symptoms for PLWHA in Ethiopia. A single-arm, prepost, peer-administered, group IPT interventional study was conducted with 31 consecutively recruited participants. The participants were assigned to four IPT groups for the intervention. A post-intervention evaluation of depressive symptoms, perceived social support (PSS), functional disability and quality of life (QoL) was conducted using the same instruments used at the baseline. No control group was included in this pilot study. Results The findings of the systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that trials that used IPT have shown good effectiveness in treating depressive symptoms of PLWHA in LMICs. The baseline study found 32.5% prevalence of MDD among randomly selected PLWHA (N=393). MDD was positively associated with reduced adherence to ART, functional disability and negatively associated with overall QoL. Overall findings of the baseline and the qualitative study indicated that psychosocial problems are the most important factors that need intervention for depression for PLWHA. The main findings in relation to the adaptation of the WHO group IPT were: i) an IPT group that contains five to ten people was perceived to be acceptable and mixed gender groups were recommended; ii) sessions were recommended to be conducted in private rooms for 1.5 to 2 hours, and on a weekly basis. Findings of the pilot study indicated that depression scores reduced significantly between baseline and postintervention (mean difference (MD)=9.92; t=-7.82; p<0.001). The mean PSS scores (MD=0.79; t=2.84; p=0.009) and the mean QoL scores (MD=0.39, t=4.58, p<0.001) improved significantly between baseline and post-intervention. All the IPT intervention areas (life change, disagreement, grief and loneliness) were found to be applicable to and important areas associated with depression in PLWHA in Ethiopia. Most importantly, disagreement within a family and life change due to HIV/AIDS, such as sickness and separation were faced by almost all PLWHA included in the study, followed by loneliness or social isolation as result of HIV stigma, and grief due to loss of loved ones including a spouse, a child, a mother or a father. Overall evaluation of the pilot indicated that the procedures and outcomes of group based IPT were perceived as acceptable. Participants of the intervention gained benefits in resolving psychosocial problems and reported high satisfaction with counsellors and intervention setting. The eight weekly sessions that lasted around two hours were acceptable; however, 3 additional sessions were recommended by some counsellors until everyone recovers from depression. Conclusion The overall findings of this thesis suggested that group IPT was found to be acceptable and feasible for PLWHA in Ethiopia. Future studies should focus on examining its effectiveness for treating depressive disorders among PLWHA in Ethiopia.

Despite the fact that the moods, symptoms, and disorders associated with anxiety and depression frequently co-occur in youth, very little is known about the developmental pathways leading to comorbid anxiety and depression. The common aetiology hypothesis proposes that anxiety and depression share common risk, vulnerability, and causal factors which increase the likelihood that they will co-occur. Such common aetiological factors are expected to temporally precede the onset of symptoms and to be uniquely associated with symptoms of each disorder, independent of the strong association between anxiety and depression. Previous research has identified vulnerability factors in the development of both anxious symptoms (e.g., behavioural inhibition) and depressive symptoms (e.g., pessimistic inferential styles) in children. However very little research has examined whether these vulnerability factors are specific to either anxious or depressive symptoms, or whether they are common to both. The purpose of the research presented in this dissertation was to examine the common aetiology hypothesis of anxiety and depression in children by evaluating the specificity of two well-established theories. In addition, the applicability of a diathesis-stress model to the development of anxious and depressive symptoms in children was examined. The research described in Chapter 2 examined behavioural inhibition and found that behaviourally inhibited children who experienced high levels of stress demonstrated increases in anxious, but not depressive symptoms across a six-week period. The research described in Chapter 3 examined the hopelessness theory and found that in the presence of high levels of stress, pessimistic inferential styles about causes, consequences, and the self predicted increases in hopelessness depression symptoms in children with low levels of initial hopelessness depression symptoms. Moreover, children with pessimistic inferential styles about either consequences or the self demonstrated increases in anxious symptoms across the six-week period, even after controlling for changes in hopelessness depression symptoms. These findings have several implications. In line with the common aetiology hypothesis, pessimistic inferential styles about consequences and the self appear to be common vulnerability factors. In contrast, behavioural inhibition and pessimistic inferential style about causes appear to be specific vulnerability factors for anxious symptoms and hopelessness depression symptoms respectively. Finally, vulnerability factors for both anxious and depressive symptoms appear to be amenable to a diathesis-stress framework.

Mindfulness-based interventions reduce depressive symptoms and rumination, and enhance mindfulness in adults; this non-randomised controlled feasibility study aimed to determine whether these conclusions apply to young people, and whether mindfulness and rumination mediate the effect on depressive symptoms. Participants aged 12-16 received a nine-week universal mindfulness intervention in schools delivered by trained teachers (intervention group, N = 256) or their regular school curriculum (control group, N = 266). Intervention schools were matched to control schools on key variables (publicly-funded versus private, mainstream versus special needs). Young people who received the intervention reported fewer depressive symptoms post-intervention relative to controls, which was maintained at three-month follow-up. Mindfulness and rumination were unchanged immediately after the intervention, however by follow-up, intervention participants were significantly more mindful and less likely to ruminate than controls. The extent to which young people practiced mindfulness was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms at post-intervention and follow-up, positively correlated with mindfulness at post-intervention and follow-up, and positively correlated with rumination at follow-up. This universal mindfulness intervention shows promise for reducing depressive symptoms, reducing rumination and increasing mindfulness in young people, however further research is warranted, particularly regarding the mechanisms of change.

Bakgrund: Depressionssjukdomar orsakar lidande och är bland samhällets vanligaste ochmest kostsamma åkommor. Fysisk aktivitet har visat sig ha förebyggande och behandlandeinverkan för människors depressiva symptom, men det saknas underlag för huruvida dennabiverkningsfria behandlingsmetod har en inverkan på depressiva symptom för personer somhar en depressionsdiagnos. Syfte: Denna litteraturöversikt ämnade belysa fysisk aktivitetsinverkan på depressiva symptom hos vuxna individer som lider av diagnosen egentligdepression. Metod: 16 studier med såväl kvantitativ som kvalitativ ansats sammanställdessom en litteraturöversikt. Resultat: I majoriteten av studierna framkom det att fysiskaktivitet kunde ha en positiv inverkan på depressiva symptom samt öka tillfrisknande hospersoner med depressionsdiagnos. Ett sekundärt resultat framkom även, där fysisk aktivitetvisade sig ha olika effekt på ett antal hälsorelaterade variabler. Diskussion: Oavsett typ avintervention, tydde resultatet på att depression kan reduceras så länge patienten fick någontyp av insats. Sjuksköterskan bör se fysisk aktivitet som en tillgång i den holistiska vården avdepressionspatienter. Slutsats: Patienter med depressionsdiagnos finns inom allavårdinstanser och allmänsjuksköterskan kan med tydliga riktlinjer få ett verktyg för att utökainsatserna för patientgruppen. Fysisk aktivitet bör inte ses som en universalkur, men hos enmajoritet kan det ha en positiv effekt för depression.

Tidigare forskning har visat att psykisk ohälsa i form av depression vanligtvis debuterar i tonåren och är tätt sammankopplat med smärta. Vilken roll föräldraskap spelar i utveckling och vidmakthållande av både smärta och depression är dock mindre forskat på. Studiens syfte är att undersöka samband mellan ungdomars upplevda anknytning till sin mamma och/eller pappa, depressiva symptom och funktionsnedsättande smärta. Av intresse att studera är huruvida nivån av funktionsnedsättande smärta är kopplad till ungdomarnas upplevelse av anknytning och depressiva symptom över tid. Detta undersöktes med longitudinell design med data från Trestadsstudien där urvalet bestod av 1770 deltagare mellan 13 och 19 år. Resultaten från den logistiska regressionen visade att högre grad av depressiva symptom (CES-DC) hade samband med högre smärta ett år senare, däremot visade inte resultaten liknande samband mellan lägre anknytningskvalitet (IPPA-R) och högre smärta. Slutsatser diskuteras utifrån Örebromodellen i vilken emotionsreglering är centralt i relationen mellan smärta och depression. En vidareutveckling av modellen föreslås där anknytningskvalitetens indirekta effekt på depressiva symtom och smärta tas i beaktning, via dess potentiella betydelse för emotionsreglering. Framtida forskning bör därmed testa denna föreslagna indirekta effekt genom att mäta emotionsreglering och utforska detta i relation till anknytning, funktionsnedsättande smärta och depressiva symptom.
Mental 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.

In breast cancer patients, symptoms of depression decrease quality of life and may have other serious consequences, such as increasing mortality. Few studies have focused on psychosocial issues and their relation to breast cancer in African-American women. Thus, only limited information has been published on the breast cancer experience of African American women. A grounded theory approach was used to explicate the social psychological and social structural processes of African American women with breast cancer experiencing depressive symptoms. The sample included nine African American women with breast cancer who experienced depressive symptoms. Unstructured interviews were conducted with each participant.Data were analyzed using the constant comparison method. The data indicated that African American women used the basic social process of Transcending the now to manage the basic social problem of having breast cancer and experiencing depressive symptoms. The five phases of the basic social psychological (BSP) process Transcending the Now that emerged during data analysis were Relying on Faith, Being Strong, Seeking Support, Dealing with Life Too, and Enduring Breast Cancer. The findings of this study provide nurses with new knowledge regarding the experience of depressive symptoms in African American women with breast cancer and provide a theory of transcending that can be used in building a research-based practice.

Introduction: Financial incentives increase smoking abstinence among pregnant and postpartum women. They have also been reported to reduce psychological symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) in women at risk for perinatal depression. This prospective study aims to replicate and extend these findings using the BDI and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). Methods: Participants were 169 pregnant cigarette smokers who were assigned to one of two treatment conditions: Best Practices only (n=88), which entails brief counseling and a referral to a pregnancy-specific quit-line, or Best Practices + Incentives (n=81). Participants were categorized as at increased risk (Dep+; n= 91) or lower risk (Dep-; n= 76) for depression based on history of depressive symptoms and baseline symptom scores. Treatment effects on smoking status and BDI/EPDS scores were examined across nine perinatal assessments using repeated measures analyses of covariance. Results: Financial incentives increased rates of biochemically-verified abstinence through 12-weeks postpartum independent of depression risk (ps ≤ .01) but did not differentially decrease BDI or EPDS scores (ps > .05). Scores decreased with both interventions for the Dep+ women (p = .001). Conclusions: These results replicate earlier evidence that financial incentives increase perinatal smoking abstinence in Dep+ women but not their efficacy in differentially reducing depressive symptoms at levels greater than Best Practices. The failure to replicate effects on depressive symptoms may be due to use of different control conditions in the current and prior study or increased screening and intervention for perinatal mental health during routine obstetrical care.

The aim: To examinate depressive symptoms among heart failure patients. Another aim was to examinate the differences in depressive symptoms between gender and between heart failure patients and the population. METHOD: The self-assassment formula MADRS was answered by twenty patients with heart failure at the University hospital in Uppsala. MAIN RESULT: Among the participants 31,3 % showed diffrent levels of depressive symptoms. Mild depression was more common in women. Moderate depression was exclusively shown among the female participants, while severe depression only was shown in one man. The result suggested that heart failure patients have more depressive symptoms than the population. CONCLUSION: A large proportion of the patients with heart failure showed signs of depressive symptoms. This was particulary shown in the women. The results suggest that heart failure patients exhibit more depressive symptoms than the population.

Research indicates that cognitive and neuropsychological functions are adversely affected by symptoms of depression (Teeter & Semrud-Clikeman, 1997). In addition to deficits in attention and memory, depressive symptomatology may impact oneÃ¢ÂÂs executive functioning abilities. Over the last several decades, a number of studies have investigated the effects of internalizing symptoms on neurocognitive function in adults (e.g., Beats, Sahakian, & Levy, 1996; Channon & Green, 1999; Fossati, Coyette, Ergis, & Allilaire, 2002). However, little research is available confirming the presence of these adverse patterns in children and adolescents manifesting similar depressive symptoms. Although research suggests that children and adolescents who exhibit symptoms of depression often experience greater school and academic disruption (Mash & Barkley, 1996), it is unclear how symptoms of depression impair executive functioning skills in youth.

Existing research suggests that gay men may be more vulnerable to depression than are heterosexual men, and that gender-related personality traits may be important in understanding this vulnerability. In the present study the association between two gender-related personality traits (agency and unmitigated communion) and depressive symptoms was examined in an Internet sample of 510 gay identified men, aged 18 years or older. Potential mediators of this association were also examined including: recalled peer harassment, interpersonal behavior, and self-discrepancies in the gender-related personality trait of agency. Participants completed the Extended Personal Attributes Questionnaire (EPAQ), the Unmitigated Communion Scale, the victim subscale from the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire Revised (worded retrospectively), the Checklist of Interpersonal Transactions Revised, and the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Self-discrepancy was calculated by repeating the agency subscale of the EPAQ from the perspective of ideal self and subtracting the actual score from the ideal score. Zero-order correlations indicated that among gay men who were less agentic than their ideal, the gender-related personality traits of agency and unmitigated communion were associated with depressive symptoms, as were recalled peer harassment, interpersonal behavior characterized as unassured and submissive, and self-discrepancies in agency. Two models were tested with half the sample and a respecified model was validated with the second half. The final model indicated that when all variables were considered jointly, agency and unmitigated communion were not directly related to depressive symptoms but rather, the effects of agency and unmitigated communion were mediated by unassured and submissive interpersonal behavior, and the effect of agency was also mediated by self-discrepancies in agency (p < .05). Thus, how the participants interacted with close others, and the extent that they were not as agentic as they wished, were more important in predicting their depressive symptoms than were the gender-related personality traits of agency and unmitigated communion. The final model also indicated that recalled peer harassment has both a direct impact on depressive symptoms and an indirect impact on depressive symptoms through unassured and submissive interpersonal behavior. Implications for future research, anti-bullying initiatives, and interventions with depressed gay men are discussed.

Adolescents with T1D are more vulnerable to developing depressive symptoms than their peers and the presence of depressive symptoms can have a negative influence on the self-management of T1D. It is therefore important to gain an understanding of the processes that underlie depressive symptoms in adolescents with T1D and also to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and metabolic control. A systematic literature review is presented that synthesized and evaluated evidence on the longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and metabolic control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. The main focus was on issues of directionality within this relationship over time and identifying factors that may influence identified longitudinal associations. An empirical paper that investigated the role of cognitions proposed by Beck’s cognitive theory of depression (1967) and Bandura’s social cognitive theory (1997) in depressive symptoms in adolescents with T1D is also presented. Further research exploring depressive symptoms in adolescents with T1D is required.

Анотація:

Perinatal depression, which occurs during pregnancy and within one year postpartum, is highly prevalent in South Africa. It is associated with greater risk of birth complications, poorer health outcomes and greater risk of suicide behaviours for the mother. Perinatal depression is also associated with poorer physical, cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural development for her child. There is preliminary evidence using growth curve mixture modelling (GCMM) that the course of perinatal depression is heterogeneous, and that each course is associated with a range of risk factors and child outcomes. Most of this evidence is generated in high-income countries (HICs), however. Little is known about the course of perinatal depression in low-income settings, where women are more likely to experience social and economic adversity, and where the patterns of risk among mothers and their children are likely to differ. The overall aim of this thesis was to identify the trajectories of perinatal depressive symptoms among low-income women in South Africa, and investigate whether these were associated with specific psychosocial and economic risk factors, child outcomes and suicidal risk over time. First, the available literature on the use of GCMM to identify trajectories of perinatal depressive symptoms is systematically reviewed. Evidence, all from HICs, suggests that there are heterogenous trajectories. The most commonly reported trajectories are (i) a ‘low-risk’ trajectory, characterised by chronically low levels of depressive symptoms throughout the perinatal period, (ii) a ‘high-risk’ trajectory, characterised by chronically severe levels of depressive symptoms, and (iii) an ‘antenatal’ trajectory, with greater levels of symptoms antenatally, which naturally abate before or just after birth. How women with different trajectories differ in terms of social, economic and health-related characteristics was inconsistent. Data from two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were then utilised to investigate the trajectories of depressive symptoms among perinatal women living in a low-income setting in South Africa. Both RCTs were conducted in Khayelitsha, a peri-urban township settlement close to Cape Town, characterised by high levels of poverty and unemployment, and high crime rates. The RCTs were the Africa Focus on Intervention Research for Mental Health, and the Philani Intervention Programme. The former was conducted among perinatal women at risk for depression during pregnancy, while the latter was conducted among all perinatal women, regardless of the severity of their depressive symptom at recruitment. No differences were found in depressive symptoms between the control and intervention arms in either RCT, so both arms were combined, where appropriate. The trajectories of perinatal depressive symptoms, identified though growth mixture modelling or latent class growth analysis, were similar to those reported in the systematic review. A high-risk trajectory was identified in both samples; it was characterised by greater socio-economic and health-related risks, including alcohol use during pregnancy and lower levels of social support, factors which differentiated women allocated to this trajectory from women who had low symptom levels or who showed a natural remission pattern over the perinatal period. Children of mothers with chronically severe depressive symptoms reported greater emotional problems at 36 months postpartum. Children of mothers who reported more severe depressive symptoms either early or later in the postpartum period also showed poorer physical growth at 18 and 36 months. Finally, a series of generalised estimating equations indicated that change in depressive symptoms among women initially at risk for depression during pregnancy was associated with change in the severity of suicidal risk during the perinatal period, but only when depressive symptoms decreased, and that among younger women and those who showed a lower risk trajectory of depressive symptoms. Relatively similar trajectories of perinatal depressive symptoms were identified among perinatal women in Khayelitsha, compared to studies in HICs. Women presented with different trajectories of depressive symptoms over the perinatal period, each with specific sets of risk factors and distinct associations with severity of suicidal risk and child outcomes over time. Depression and suicidal risk should be assessed independently from one another throughout the perinatal period. The consistently identified high-risk trajectory highlights the need to integrate health, social and economic characteristics into the identification and prevention strategies for perinatal depression. Given the limited mental health resources available at primary care level in South Africa, this thesis contributes to developing efficient methods to identify, refer and manage women who may need more intensive mental health care.

Engaging in physical activity can help older adults to take part in community activities, maintain relationships, and initiate new friendships, thus preventing loneliness and depression. The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to evaluate whether participation in physical activity improved depressive symptoms in 15 older adults at a local senior center. Pender’s health promotion model was used to determine nursing and behavioral science views on components that affect health behavior. The Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale (EBBS) survey was evaluated before implementation of the walking program to measure the benefits of and barriers to exercise. The EBBS results showed that participants perceived physical activity as beneficial with high percentages in the dimensions of physical performance (90%) and psychosocial aspects (76%). The leading barrier to exercise was fatigue (50%). The 15 elderly participants tracked physical activity by counting the number of steps a day over a 2-month period with a mean number of steps of 3,788/day. The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) was administered before and after implementation of physical activity tracking to measure changes in mood and sadness over the past 2 weeks. Forty-seven percent of the participants had depressive symptoms before the program, compared to 13% after the program. Using descriptive statistics via percent difference, results revealed a 34% decrease in depressive symptoms in the program participants. Therefore, this QI project was successful in improving depressive symptoms among older adults. This project paves the way for positive social change through improved quality of life and improved physical/mental health outcomes for older adults who participate in a physical walking activity by decreasing depressive symptoms.

The 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 Â SD = 34.8 Â 9.3) years and BMI between 31.3 and 72.4 (46.9 Â 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 Â 4.9 and 6.6 Â 3.7, p = 0.01) and more depressive symptoms (16, 7 Â 7.6 and 9.5 Â 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 Â 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 estÃ 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

The 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.
