Klimawandel und Gesundheit: Was Sie in der Hausarztpraxis wissen müssen und tun können

Die Folgen des Klimwandels haben einen direkten Einfluss auf die Primärversorgung in Deutschland: Hitzeschutz insbesondere bei älteren Patienten, die Zunahme von Infektionen und die Verlängerung der Allergiesesaison spielen medizinisch eine bedeutsame Rolle. Aber auch in der Prävention und der Aufklärung der Patienten kommt den Hausärztinnen und -ärzten eine besondere Rolle zu. Direkt aus der Praxis berichtet im Live-Webinar am 13. Mai von 18 bis 19 Uhr unser Experte Dr. med. Robin Maitra.

Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a significant mental health problem among perinatal women; however, little attention has been devoted to methods of screening for bipolar disorder during this phase of women’s life cycle. There is a need for reliable and valid screening instruments for perinatal women. This paper presents a review of 11 self-report measures used to screen bipolar disorder in the general population and discusses their applicability to screening among perinatal women. Published psychometric data, including reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of each self-report instrument, is presented and critiqued. We make recommendations for screening in clinical practice and highlights priorities for future research. The need for more research in this area is emphasized.
