Introduction

It often happens that primary care teams sends to

specialized care any type of demand without discriminating on

many times.

Objective

Study of diagnoses that get to the consultations.

Methodology

Retrospective observational study with data gath-

ered during 3 months of diagnosis carried out in the first

consultations.

Results

The study guides that there is much minor pathology in

the first consultation.

Conclusions

Currently, attention on mental health is over-

crowded because there is an excess of derivation from minor

pathologies. So, an adequate coordination and communicationwith

primary care could improve patients’ care.

Introduction

The first visit is crucial, since it is where a treatment

plan is selected and the decision to refer or not the patient to a

specialized unit is made. Mental care could be improved through

the centralization of demand and the identification of patients’ and

psychiatrists’ expectations.

Objectives

Analyzing patients’ and psychiatrists’ demands and

expectations in the first visit to use them as a starting point for

the planning and coordination of treatment actions.

Aims

To design a record system of the Minimum Basic Data Set

of the Centralized Department of our Unit.

Methods

This is an epidemiological, observational, prospective

study of patients referred to our department. Following variables

were collected:

– referral origin;

– reason;

– demographic data;

– diagnosis impression;

– destination of referral.

The Statistical Package for Social Science version 19.0 was used to

analyze the data.

Results

Table 1 .

Conclusions

The data obtained are consistent with those reported

in the literature for this population. The high rate of wrong referrals

reveals the necessity of improving coordination and establishing

specific referral criteria. Some initiatives have been designed and

will be prospectively evaluated in the future.

Background

By September 2014, an outbreak of Ebola viral dis-

ease (EVD) in West African countries had recorded over 2200

deaths. EVD, create fear and panic among patients, and other stake-

holders, a risk factor for psychological distress, which could have

public health implication for control of EVD. We determined fac-

tors associated with psychological distress among survivors and

contacts of EVD and their relatives.

Methods

In a descriptive cross-sectional study, General Health

Questionnaire was used to assess psychological distress and Oslo

Social Support Scale was used to assess social support factors

associated with psychological distress were determined using

/odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio.

Results

Of the 117 participants, 78 (66.7%) were females. Most

frequently occurring psychological distress were inability to con-

centrate (37.6%) and loss of sleep over worry (33.3%). Losing a

relation to EVD outbreak (OR = 6.0, 95% CI: 1.2–32.9) was signifi-

cantly associated with feeling unhappy or depressed while being a

health worker was protective (OR = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2–0.9). Adjusted

odds ratio (AOR) showed losing a relationwas a predictor of “feeling

unhappy or depressed” (AOR = 5.7, 95% CI: 1.2–28.0) and inability to

concentrate (AOR = 10.1, 95% CI: 1.7–60.7) while having no tertiary

education remained protective (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1–0.6).

Conclusions

Survivors and contacts of EVD and their relations

develop psychological distress. Development of psychological dis-

tress was predicted by loss of family member. We recommended
