Abstract

Background: Comprehensive mental health research is proposed as an important resource for individual well-being, as opposed to indicators of psychopathology. Objectives: We present an approach to the Bidimensional Model of Mental Health (BDSM) that considers psychological distress and subjective well-being as two separate but related dimensions. Methods: In a sample of 290 adults from the community, with 55.2% women and a mean age of 28.6 (Dt = 12.0). Results: The continuous results confirm a two-dimensional structure of psychopathology (PS) and subjective well-being (BS). The proposed model proposes classification into four groups according to the above result, namely, complete mental health (high BS, low PS, 62.2%), vulnerable (low BS, low PS, 11.4%), symptomatic but content (high BS, high PS, 11.4%) and troubled (low BS, high PS, 15%). The categorical results indicate that the problem and symptomatic groups obtained higher mean scores in trait worry, experiential and behavioral avoidance, and in turn, the symptomatic group scored higher in resistance to distress and in the more adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies; on the contrary, the vulnerable group obtained lower means in the latter. The results of the vulnerable and symptomatic groups confirm the coexistence of well-being and psychopathology. Conclusions: The promotion of subjective well-being is proposed when considering health in a more comprehensive way, because of its potential to generate profound and lasting benefits for individuals and the community in general.
心理健康的二维模型:在一般人群样本中的经验方法
背景:综合心理健康研究被认为是个体福祉的重要资源,而不是精神病理学指标。目的:我们提出了一种心理健康的二维模型(BDSM)的方法,该模型认为心理困扰和主观幸福感是两个独立但相关的维度。方法:290名来自社区的成年人,其中55.2%为女性,平均年龄28.6岁(Dt = 12.0)。结果:连续的结果证实了精神病理(PS)和主观幸福感(BS)的二维结构。该模型根据上述结果将心理健康者分为四类,即完全心理健康者(高BS、低PS, 62.2%)、易受伤害者(低BS、低PS, 11.4%)、有症状但有内容者(高BS、高PS, 11.4%)和困扰者(低BS、高PS, 15%)。分类结果显示,问题组和症状组在特质焦虑、经验回避和行为回避上得分较高,而症状组在抗焦虑和适应性认知情绪调节策略上得分较高;相反,弱势群体在后者中获得的均值较低。弱势群体和有症状群体的结果证实了幸福感和精神病理学的共存。结论:在以更全面的方式考虑健康时,建议促进主观福祉,因为它有可能为个人和整个社区产生深远和持久的利益。
