Abstract
Occupational hazards to ambulance providers in low and middle-income countries
Highlights
The lifetime prevalence of common mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is estimated at 23%, accounting for 11.1% of the total burden of disease
Results showed that 4-8 sessions of relaxation, problemsolving, and cognitive therapy techniques reduced symptoms of depression and/or anxiety in women; 4-6 sessions of narrative exposure therapy reduced symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in refugees; single-session motivational interventions reduced moderate drug and/or alcohol use; and 7 sessions of behavioural exposure therapy reduced symptoms of panic disorder
There is preliminary evidence that Brief interventions (BIs) are effective in treating mental illness in LMICs
Summary
The lifetime prevalence of common mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is estimated at 23%, accounting for 11.1% of the total burden of disease. Cost-effective, resource-efficient interventions could help increase the availability and accessibility of mental health services in LMICs. Brief interventions (BIs) are time-limited psychotherapies of 1-8 sessions developed to provide effective treatment at low cost and with little resource burden. Brief interventions (BIs) are time-limited psychotherapies of 1-8 sessions developed to provide effective treatment at low cost and with little resource burden They are widely used and proven effective in high-income countries, but their cross-applicability in LMIC settings is unclear. Purpose: To review the published literature on the effectiveness of BIs in the treatment of mental illnesses in LMICs. In choosing a contraceptive method, a woman may take into account cost, availability, side effects, feasibility, and duration of use. The purpose of this study was to identify trends in contraceptive use, including partner awareness, among the women of periurban Trujillo, Peru
