| Summary: | Anxiety, depression and somatisations are health problems of high prevalence among women, that we unify under the concept of ill-being and we associate it with psycho-social factors and with subjective experiences. We develop a bio-psycho-social (BPS) attention method that acts upon the subjectivity and the gender determinants. The Woman Institute of the Murcia Region applied this clinical method in a pilot experiment in Primary Care. The objective is to evaluate this intervention. We found psycho-socials factors associated with ill-feeling with a high gender significance. In women: overload with tasks related to gender roles, caretakers, conflicts with the couple and children, mourning, battering and extended labor hours. In men: conflicts with the couple, mourning, work conflicts or with children and specific ailments. With the BPS methods one obtains clinical improvements in 76,3% of women and 90,1% of men. In 22,6% of cases psycho drugs are no longer needed and in 60,9% of the cases the intake has been reduced. |
