“…18,19 These environmental conditions represent uncontrollable stressors, which have been hypothesized to undermine health more than controllable stressors. 8 If, as other work suggests, study respondents lived in their general neighborhoods for most of their pregnancy, 2 they may have become inured to the adverse environmental conditions to which they were regularly exposed. Therefore, finding even modest associations between neighborhood conditions and psychosocial health is meaningful.…”

The determinants that underlie a healthy or unhealthy pregnancy are complex and not well understood. We assess the relationship between the built environment and maternal psychosocial status using directly observed residential neighborhood characteristics (housing damage, property disorder, tenure status, vacancy, security measures, violent crime, and nuisances) and a wide range of psychosocial attributes (interpersonal support evaluation list, self-efficacy, John Henryism active coping, negative partner support, Perceived Stress Scale, perceived racism, Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression) on a pregnant cohort of women living in the urban core of Durham, NC, USA. We found some associations between built environment characteristic and psychosocial health varied by exposure categorization approach, while others (residence in environments with more rental property is associated with higher reported active coping and negative partner support) were consistent across exposure categorizations. This study outlines specific neighborhood characteristics that are modifiable risk markers and therefore important targets for increased research and public health intervention.

“…Similarly, past studies have also revealed the significant relationship between adulthood emotional disorders and childhood abuse and neglect, maltreatment, and other traumatic experiences (Middeldorp, Cath, Dyck and Boomsma, 2005). Another study reported a positive relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and subsequent problems like anxiety and depression (Friis, Wittchen, Pfister and Lieb, 2002); somatization (Güleç et al, 2012); eating disorders, substance abuse and alcoholism (Yargıç, Tutkun and Şar, 2012); and dissociative disorders, borderline personality disorder, and conversion disorder (Şar, Akyüz, Kundakçı, Kızıliziltan, and Doğan, 2004). In another study, the authors revealed that exposure to emotional and sexual abuse by many people during childhood increases the risk of developing depression in adulthood (Liu, Jager-Hyman, Wagner, Alloy, and Gibb, 2012).…”

This study examined the mediating role of resilience and gender in the relationship between adults' childhood period traumatic experiences and psychological symptoms. The participants of the research consisted of 276 adults, from whom data were collected using the Short Symptom Inventory, the Traumatic Childhood Experiences Scale, and the Adult Resilience Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied, along with path analysis and mediator test. Results indicated that adults' childhood traumatic experiences had a positively significant effect on their psychological symptoms as well as a negative effect on their resilience. Furthermore, resilience had a mediating role in the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and psychological symptoms. These findings can guide future studies that aim to determine which factors have a positive effect on adults' psychological symptoms, in order to help prevent childhood traumatic experiences and increase their resilience.

Resumo: A adolescência é marcada por diversas mudanças físicas/hormonais, sociais e psicoló-gicas, podendo favorecer o desenvolvimento de diversos transtornos e sintomas mentais, como, por exemplo, a sintomatologia depressiva, sendo que a família pode influenciar o desencadeamento/manutenção de tais sintomas. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a correlação existente entre sintomatologia depressiva e a percepção de suporte familiar em estudantes do ensino médio. Foram participantes da pesquisa 154 adolescentes de uma escola pública. Os materiais utilizados foram um questionário de caracterização (contendo diversos fatores de risco para a depressão)^j-o Inventário de Depressão Infantil (CDI)) e o Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), aplicados coletivamente em sala de aula. Os principais resultados demonstraram que quanto maior a simtomatologia depressiva no adolescente mais inadequado é a percepção do suporte familiar e quanto maior a freqüencia dos fatores de risco, maior é a simtomatologia depressiva no adolescente, estando o suporte familiar correlacionado negativamente com a simtomatologia depressiva nesta amostra.Palavras chaves: Depressão. Adolescentes. Suporte familiar. INTRODUÇÃOOs principais sintomas da depressão estão relacionados com o humor deprimido, perda do interesse e prazer; energia reduzida, causando aumento da fatigabilidade e diminuição de atividades; concentração, atenção, auto-estimae autoconfiançareduzidas; idéias pessimistas do futuro; ideação suicida; alteração no sono e apetite diminuído, dentre outros 1,2 .A depressão atualmente pode ser considerada um dos problemas mais comuns encontrados pelos profissionais na área de saúde mental ao diagnosticar e tratar seus pacientes. Os transtornos mentais e de comportamento correspondem a 12% das doenças mundiais 3,4 . Aproximadamente 15% a20% dos adultos já tiveram alguma sintomatologia depressiva durante suas vidas e, pelo menos 12% tiveram depressão em estado grave, a ponto de procurar ajuda psicoterapêutica e médica. A prevalência nas mulheres é duas vezes maior que nos homens, podendo chegar a 25%, a partir da adolescência e os sintomas depressivos são responsá-veis por cerca de 75% das internações psiquiátri-cas 5 . Além disso, 80% das pessoas que tentam o suicídio estão com algum nível considerável de depressão no momento da tentativa 6 . A depressão tem incidência de 10% em pacientes do atendimento médico geral e chega a 15% dos pacientes intennados no hospital geral, apesar das pesquisas serem díspares em decorrência do tipo de amostra, instrumentos e metodologias diferenciadas 7,8 .
