abstract: 'Background- Many studies suggest that social capital, defined as those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intangible resources of a society or community (trust, participation and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reciprocity), that might facilitate collective action, can be associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with positive health effects. Aim: To explore the relationship between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social capital an the level of mental health, in urban communities of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Santiago, Chile. Material and methods: In a qualitative-quantitative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cross-sectional design, two low income neighborboods in the municipality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Puente Alto were selected. Interviews to key agents and focus groups,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as well as surveys (407) to adults from a representative random sample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of households, were conducted, measuring social capital using a locally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
devised questionnaire and mental health using the General Health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questionnaire (GHQ-12 instrument). A qualitative analysis based on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
grounded theory and a quantitative analysis through correlations and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
simple and logistic regression models were applied. Results. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quantitative analysis found an association between female gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and having a chronic disease, with low levels of mental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health. At the same time, the trust component of social capital might be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with a better mental bealth status. Qualitatively all the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
components of social capital were identified as important for a better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mental health. Conclusions. This study suggests the existence of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive relationship between social capital and mental health.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developing trust in a community might be a useful tool to work in mental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health at the community level.'
