The objective of this study was to review the impact of the association between depressive disorder and quality of life. Our review included articles published between 1990 and 2007 and it was based on the following keywords: quality of life, depression, depressive symptoms, primary care services, well-being, happiness, and predictors of remission. The presence of depressive symptoms affects all dimensions of the quality of life, and depending on the severity of these symptoms, it might cause equivalent or more severe impairment than other chronic diseases. The findings suggest that the presence of depressive symptoms causes a serious impact on the quality of life of individuals. Such impact is not limited to the clinical characteristics of the disorder.

One of the pedagogical alternatives is the education based on problem-solving, which works essentially with the construction of knowledge using significant experiences. Such learning model has enabled curricular changes, which, in the field of psychiatry, reflect the conquest of significant space for the development of a more humane and integral medical practice This article aims to discuss the experience of the Medical School of Universidade Sao Francisco (USF), in Braganca Paulista, concerning the implementation of the psychiatry internship using the problem-based learning (PBL) methodology since 2003. The psychiatry internship is undertaken in the fifth year of Medical School, and it consists of 320 hours, which correspond to 40 hours a week for 8 weeks. Activities are developed at the day hospital, at the outpatient clinic and at the general hospital during delivery of consultation-liaison psychiatry service. There was significant increase in the knowledge acquired by the students who, upon completing the internship, were able to develop clinical reasoning skills and had consolidated concepts and psychiatric practices adequate to the general medical education and compatible with the purposes of the undergraduate program. The reported experience can serve as a model for the implementation of a learning methodology regarding mental health based on the principles of the psychiatric reformation in Brazil, trying to develop community and interdisciplinary practices.","PeriodicalId":31894,"journal":{"name":"Boletim Geografico do Rio Grande do Sul","volume":"34 1","pages":"67-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78073411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHODS: Scores of Brazilian children pre-screened for attention disorders were obtained using the K-CPT, and data were compared with North American norms. RESULTS: Age and gender effects on the Brazilian sample were similar to those previously described. However, the lack of screening for attention deficits might have distorted normative scores of the K-CPT in the USA because Brazilian boys and girls had better scores than the North American children in almost all measures. CONCLUSION: The screening procedures used in Brazil, in addition to the previously described age and gender effects on sustained attention, indicate that the results described in the present study constitute appropriate local performance scores and, as such, are useful in the evaluation of pre-school children in Brazil until national norms are established.","PeriodicalId":31894,"journal":{"name":"Boletim Geografico do Rio Grande do Sul","volume":"3 1","pages":"60-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76248195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METODO: Foi realizada uma revisao narrativa da literatura nas principais bases de dados existentes (MEDLINE, PsychINFO e SciELO) e em livros-textos atualizados. RESULTADOS: Devido a sintomatologia predominantemente fisica desse transtorno, os pacientes geralmente procuram varios atendimentos clinicos ate que o diagnostico seja feito. Em funcao desses aspectos e da sua cronicidade, o TP esta associado a elevados custos economicos. O tratamento do TP pode ser feito com psicoterapia e/ou psicofarmacos.
