Background Continuous education of physicians is critical for the
quality of medical care.
Objectives To investigate the attitudes of general practitioners
towards depression and to evaluate the short- and long-term
impact of a specific designed postgraduate university program in
depression.
Method In this prospective, interventional study participated
1322-certificated Family Practice specialist. They filled out the
Depression Attitude Questionnaire (DAQ) Spanish validated ver-
sion before starting the educational intervention; an official
approved 12 ECTS postgraduate university program. The partic-
ipant refilled the questionnaires at the end of the course and
6months later.
Results A total of 885 females and 420 males (mean 48 years)
and with a mean clinical experience of 25 years participated in this
study. Short-termafter training, PGs positively significant (P < 0.05)
changed their attitudes in the management of depression in 18
out 20 items of the DAQ. There were not significant changes in
only item 1 related to the number of patients presenting depres-
sive symptoms seen in the last 5 years and the knowledge of the
underlying biochemical abnormality. In the long-term, the posi-
tive effects observed in the short-term did not significantly change.
However, in item 1 a significantly increasewas observed. The effec-
tiveness of the intervention was related nor to the to the age and
sex of the physician nor to the years of medical practice.
Conclusions A specific designed educational program can
improve the attitudes in depression of GPs. Years of clinical practice
are not a limitation for improving the medical attitudes of General
practitioners in mental health.

Introduction The nurses occupy the first position of victims of
workplace violence in health professionals’ ranking. While gradu-
ation students, are victims of different aggressions.
Objectives The goal of this studywas to investigate the perception
of nursing students of a Brazilian public university about violence
manifestation in the university environment.
Aims Knowing the nursing students perception about violence in
the university environment.
Method This is a qualitative descriptive exploratory study where
a semi-structuralized interview was used.
Results The thematic content analysis allowed us to detect three
categories: “interpersonal violence in the relationships established
in the course”, “participation as victim or perpetrator” and “rea-
sons for the occurrence of the violence”. The findings pointed out
power relation inequalities and the occurrence of different types
of violence and the trend in naturalize them. The results point the
necessity to create a system that facilitates abuses denunciation
and that offers support to the victims; investments in intervention
programs that offer knowledge on this subject and improve the
academic relations and prevent maltreatments; and the inclusion
of the violence subject in the graduation curricula.
Conclusion The professors, as educators and models for future
professionals, must search knowledge on the subject and their
participation as perpetrators or victims. They must participate of
qualification courses that teach them to face the violence in the aca-
demic environment. In such away, pupils andprofessors are trained
to identify and to deal with violence in the academic environment
and out of it.
