Abstract

Globally, tertiary education has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 crisis. In this essay we explore the impact of the pandemic on this educational sector in an Australian setting; specifically, we discuss how the Research School of Population Health at the Australian National University adjusted and adapted to the changing circumstances arising from the pandemic. In this respect, two adjustments (both described in detail in the text) in the way mental health education was delivered at the School were proposed to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and enhance the university’s capacity to provide quality public health education to students. Thus, this essay shows that it is possible to design educational interventions that surmount the challenges posed by the pandemic. In addition, educators may use the examples cited in this paper to guide them to respond appropriately to the challenges that have arisen in terms of health education due to Covid-19.

Abstract

Depression is an important public health problem. It is the fourth cause of disease in the world in terms of lost years of healthy life. In Mexico, it ranks first in terms disability for women and ninth for men. There is a high comorbidity between depression and other mental disorders such as anxiety and substance abuse, as well as other serious and chronic physical conditions (e.g. diabetes, and heart disease). Despite the impact of depressive disorders in the quality of life of the population, there is a large proportion of people who don't get treatment, delaying seeking help and thus don't receive adequate assistance. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of depression status in the Mexican population from a public health perspective; it includes prevalence and associated factors, gaps in care, characteristics of the use of services and treatments available. The paper concludes with a presentation of the implications for research and mental health policy in Mexico.

Abstract

This paper takes as its basis the concept of comprehensive health care. The need to try out complementary approaches to health care is emphasized in order to ameliorate the effects of the epidemiological transition. The approach of Primary Health Care as a basic strategy is also presented. The importance of applying health system population approach to health care is also analyzed. A number of health care alternatives are presented in order to stabilize the health of a community. Within these alternatives the training of human resources with a focus on prevention as well as the curative approach are presented. The role that the psychologist plays within the comprehensive health care is also described. Also the authors describe an innovative training program directed to Psychologists at this stage, that integrates a Master on Public Health with emphasis in mental health with a residence program in Comprehensive Health Care as an option to contribute to replicate the alternatives of care presented in the paper. Finally, the programs and their advances are presented.
