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.'
