RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It was verified the level of religiosity and spirituality, and symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety of caregivers of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, and its interference in glycaemic control. METHODS: Socio-economic and demographic data were collected from caregivers of 59 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and obtained dosages of fasting glucose (FG); postprandial glycaemia (PPG); fructosamine (FRUTO); and HbA1c, as well as the glycaemic variability-∆HbA1c. Levels of religiosity were obtained by the DUREL scale; the use of religious/spiritual coping was verified by the SRCOPE-Brief scale. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were analysed by the DASS-21 scale. The correlations between the variables were analysed by the Pearson coefficient, with significance at 5% level. RESULTS: Inverse correlations were observed between caregivers' schooling with PPG (r = -0.30; P = 0.002) and FRUTO (r = -0.34; P = 0.008) and between family income and FRUTO (r = -0.37; P = 0.004). Direct, moderate correlations were observed between negative religious/spiritual coping (NSRCOPE) with symptoms of depression (r = 0.588; P < 0.0001), stress (r = 0.500; P < 0.0001), and anxiety (r = 0.551; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The direct association between NSRCOPE with symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety was the highlighted item in the present study emphasizing the need for greater attention to the emotional health of informal caregivers of children and adolescents with DM1. It is necessary to reflect on the religious/spiritual support especially for the main caregiver of children and adolescents with DM1.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the influence of sociodemographic variables, prison context, religiosity, and symptoms of depression on the presence of suicidal thinking in a population deprived of liberty. METHOD: a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 228 participants, based on a sociodemographic questionnaire, on the prison context, and on the presence of suicidal thinking, from the Duke Religiosity Scale and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). RESULTS: the variables that showed a statistically significant correlation were the following: female gender, not having a partner, working inside the penitentiary, being a primary defendant and using controlled medication, and females are 7.2 times more likely to present suicidal thinking, for each point more in the depression score, increases by 21% in the chances and not having a partner increases the chances of thinking about suicide by three times. Although the scores of religiosity were high, they did not present a statistically significant correlation with the presence of suicidal thinking. CONCLUSION: the prison context is complex and contains peculiarities that cause the involvement of mental health problems, as well as self-harming thoughts. Considering the relevance of the subject at issue, this work stands out in view of the scarce scientific production on the subject.

Objetivo: analisar a influência das variáveis sociodemográficas, de contexto prisional, religiosidade e sintomas de depressão sobre a presença do pensamento suicida em uma população privada de liberdade. Método: estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 228 participantes, a partir de um questionário sociodemográfico, de contexto prisional e presença do pensamento suicida, da escala de Religiosidade de Duke e da Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse (DASS-21). Resultados: as variáveis que apresentaram correlação estatisticamente significativa foram: sexo feminino, não possuir companheiro(a), trabalhar dentro da penitenciária, ser réu primário e fazer uso de medicamento controlado, sendo que o sexo feminino possui 7,2 vezes mais chances de apresentar pensamento suicida, para cada ponto a mais no escore de depressão, aumenta em 21% nas chances e não possuir companheiro(a) aumenta em três vezes as chances de pensar em suicídio. Ainda que os escores de religiosidade tenham sido elevados, não apresentaram correlação estatisticamente significativa com a presença do pensamento suicida. Conclusão: o contexto prisional é complexo e contém peculiaridades que ensejam o acometimento dos agravos à saúde mental, bem como dos pensamentos autolesivos. Considerando a relevância do assunto em questão, esse trabalho se destaca diante da escassa produção científica acerca do tema.

Resultados: las variables que mostraron una correlación estadísticamente significativa fueron: género femenino, no tener pareja, trabajar en la prisión, ser reo primario y usar medicamentos controlados, advirtiéndose que el sexo femenino presenta 7,2 veces más posibilidades de tener pensamiento suicida, por cada punto adicional en el puntaje de depresión, aumenta las posibilidades en un 21% y no tener una pareja aumenta tres veces las posibilidades de pensar en el suicidio tres Aunque los puntajes de religiosidad fueron altos, no mostraron una correlación estadísticamente significativa con la presencia de pensamientos suicidas. Conclusión: el contexto de la prisión es complejo y conlleva peculiaridades que causan el deterioro de los problemas de salud mental, así como los pensamientos autolesivos. Teniendo en cuenta la relevancia del tema en cuestión, este trabajo se destaca en vista de la escasa producción científica sobre el tema.
