Mental illness and ischemic heart disease: analysis of psychiatric morbidity.

In this study we analyze from a cardiologic and psychiatric point of view a consecutive sample of 194 patients treated in a cardiology outpatient unit. A psychiatric morbidity of 44.8% is found, expressing itself fundamentally as depression and anxiety neurosis. It is observed how the presence of chest pain significantly conditions the appearance of psychiatric disturbance, there being, moreover, a tendency in the same direction with increasing degrees of impairment of cardiac function. Certain personal and sociocultural factors also play a significant role in the development of mental illness in these patients.

[Social and family variables related to alcohol consumption].

The present study analyzed some family factors which are considered to be relevant for excessive alcohol consumption. Such analysis is conducted on the data derived from a cross-sectional epidemiological community survey directed to investigate, in a random sample of 1.800 persons of 18 to 65 years of age--and representative of the population of Cantabria--community responses to alcohol consumption. For this we applied among other instruments, a questionnaire designed by the WHO for exploring Alcohol consumption, and which has being extensively used in other countries. We found, among other things, that: i) Among the males excessive alcohol consumption tends to be higher in the single marital status, and also in those with a higher number of brothers; ii) On the females on the contrary, single marital status is associates to higher percentages of non excessive alcohol consumption, while the fact of having a higher number of brothers is related to higher rates of non consumption of alcohol.

It was found, among other things, that 7% of the male and 23% of the female were abstinent, being the prevalence for excessive alcohol consumption of 14.36% for males and of 0.22% for females. We also found, especially among the younger age groups, a growing female incorporation into the masculine patterns of alcohol consumption. It was also analyzed in the study the characteristics of the patterns of alcohol consumption.

[The "Sickness Impact Profile" questionnaire (SIP): Spanish version of a measure of health status].

The objective of this paper is to present the results of the translation and adaptation into Spanish of a questionnaire (The Sickness Impact Profile --SIP--) for measuring the physical and psychosocial dysfunctions generated by a disease. For this the SIP, together with some clinical measures of physical and psychosocial status were administered to a series of 50 patients afflicted by multiple sclerosis. We found not only that the SIP could be considered a good instrument for measuring the physical and psychosocial impact of illness, but also that it is adequate to differentiate in it a physical and a psychosocial dimensions.

[Risk profiles for mental disorders in the general population].

This study examined, in the general population, the effect which different sociodemographic variables and the presence of physical illness esserted on the probability of suffering from mental disorders. For this we applied, among other instruments, the GHQ-60 to a random sample of 1.223 persons from a community of Cantabria. The estimated probable prevalence of mental disorders detected with the GHQ-60 was 14.7% (6.5% for males and 19.6% for females). the analysis, by means of logistic modelling, of the influence which 6 sociodemographic variables and physical illness exerted on the probability of suffering from psychiatric illness revelled that is possible to establish for each sex a specific profile of risk of suffering from psychiatric disorders. Two factors, physical illness, in both sexes, and absence of work, exclusively on males, appears to have a significant influence on the probability of suffering from minor psychiatric disorders.

[Problems of sampling and fieldwork in community health studies].

We analyse in this paper, from the experience acquired in different community surveys, some methodological aspects which we consider essential for the development of these projects. The aspects reviewed are integrated in the following three fundamental areas: --Costs and financing. --Sampling strategy. --Field work: preparation and execution. The advantages and disadvantages of the different possible alternatives, in each of the three areas, are discussed on the light of the data obtained in the project which on "Alcohol related problems" we are conducting in Cantabria.
