BACKGROUND In the frame of the European study on quality assurance in consultation liaison psychiatry and psychosomatics (supported by the BIOMED 1 program), the clinical <<process>> of consultation-liaison psychiatry units pertaining to six Spanish general hospitals is analyzed. PATIENTS AND METHOD A sample of 3. 608 consecutive patients referred to the consultation-liaison psychiatry units of five public general hospitals (Clínico of Zaragoza, Clínico of Barcelona, General of Alicante, Ramón y Cajal of Madrid, Princesa of Madrid) and one private gynecological hospital (Dexeus of Barcelona) was studied. The data were recorded with a standardized instrument (CL-BDoK-P), validated in a previous study. RESULTS Consult request took place 10.6 days (on average) after the patients admission (<<lagtime 1>>), half the requests were urgent, and psychiatric consultants examined the patients 1.9 days (on average) after the request (<<lagtime 2>>). The most frequent reasons for referral were current psychiatric symptoms (50.3%), unexplained physical symptoms (15.2%), substance abuse (9.2%), psychiatric history (8.5%), suicide risk (6%) and coping with illness (5.8%). The main referral services were internal medicine (17.5%), traumatology (7.5%) and general surgery (7.3%). An important clinical activity is documented in patients frequently considered to be <<complex>>, with broad spectrum diagnostic and interventions processes and both in-hospital and out-patient follow-up. However, some problems were also detected in the clinical <<process>>. CONCLUSIONS The results outline the clinical importance of Spanish consultation-liaison psychiatry in the general hospital, but the possibility of improving its efficiency through the implementation of integrative models, organizational changes and modern models of <<quality assurance>> is also emphasized.

Background:There is limited information on the subject of co-morbidity of general medical conditions (GMCs) and general psychiatric disturbance in primary care (PC). Methods: A representative sample (n = 1559) of adult PC patients was examined in a two-phase screening. Standardized screening instruments were used, including the Stan- dardized Polyvalent Psychiatric Interview (SPPI). ICD-10 research criteria were used for psychiatric diagnosis, and ICPC-2 for medical diagnosis. Results: Most co-morbidity cases had depressive (120 cases, 28.1%) or anxiety/neurot- ic disorders (217 cases, 50.9%). In support of the working hypothesis, the proportion of patients with several medical diagnoses was significantly higher among the cases, and logistic regression showed that the probability of being a psychiatric case increased with each medical diagnosis done by the primary care physician (OR = 2.46; IC 1.66-3.66, p < 0.001). Moderate/severe cases were significantly more frequent among the depressed group (91 cases, 75.9%), but were also common in the anxiety/neurosis group (52 cases, 24%), the between groups differences in disability being non-significant. The distribution of both affective and neurotic disorders by specific ICPC-2 categories suggests preferen- tial associations. Conclusion: In PC, the probability of having a co-morbid psychiatric diagnosis dou- bles with each medical diagnosis. Anxiety/neurotic disorders, and not only depressive dis- orders, are relevant co-morbid psychiatric categories in this setting.

Background and Objectives: To test the conjecture that the innovative method to teach psychosomatic psychiatry previously reported will be confirmed as bene- ficial in the training of medical students in the field of general psychiatry. Methods: The emphasis in this course is placed on the discussion of clinical cases, bed- side clinical teaching, and a research-oriented part. The “Innovative Teaching Plan” (ITP) is intended to train student-leaders to guide small groups (SG) of students. The results of an intensive clerkship on bedside teaching are also studied. Trainee performance was assessed by the marks in the final examination, and a reliable and valid tool, the Medical Tea ching Quality Questionnaire (MTQQ) was used to document trainee satisfaction. The results of five academic courses are presented in this report. Results : External experts consulted assured that the content of the course was adequate. Eight hundred and thirty eight medical students have completed the learning course in the study period, and 418 (one of the two groups) completed the evaluation with the MTQQ. Most items related to the students’ satisfaction were rated “high” or “very high”, in- cluding the items asking about the usefulness of the course for physicians, the quality of the teaching methods and the bedside teaching. In relation to innovation, the discussion of clinical cases in small groups was also very satisfactory and the “enhancement of a re- searcher’s mind” was rated “high” or “very high” by 1/3rd of medical students. The utili- ty of the yearly evaluation of the quality of teaching methods was supported by results showing that items scored not favourably in the initial evaluation were considerably im- proved in the follow-up evaluations, when modifications in the method were introduced. Conclusions: Good performance and high satisfaction of medical students was docu- mented in a course on general psychiatry. Lessons may be drawn to inform about efficient and effective ways of teaching and learning this subject
