Aim: The objective of this study was to know temporal, socio-demographic and diagnostic features of psychologically assisted patients at the General Emergency Service of the major hospital in Jujuy. Methods: The study was transversal (01/20/2018 to 09/13/2018). Temporal, socio-demographic and diagnostic variables (according to ICD-10) were analyzed in 657 cases. For data analysis RStudio was used. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were reported. We evaluated differences in age according to sex (women-men) and according to age categories (adolescents-adults) with Wilcoxon Test, and differences in diagnostic clusters according to sex and age with Kruskal-Wallis Test. The type I error was set at ≤ 0.05. Results: Cases assisted during weekends prevailed. From the total, 57.53% were women. The mean age in both sexes was 34.35 years (±15.08; Median = 32). A decreasing pattern of cases from younger to older age groups were found. There were no differences in age according to sex (p-value = 0.22), but they were differences according to age categories (p-value < 0.001). Cases with single marital status and employment were prevalent. The prevalent general diagnostic groups were: Neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders (31.51%); Disorders due to psychoactive substance use (12.48%); Intentional self-harm (10.20%); Assault (9.59%). Conclusions: We present the first diagnostic profile of mental health emergency-assisted casuistry in Jujuy. We highlight the need to design prevention strategies for alcohol and other psychoactive substances related disorders, aimed primarily at adolescents and young people. We discuss further implications of the results. |
