Objective: General practitioners (GPs) are key health professionals for referrals to mental health specialists. Youth mental health issues are particularly challenging, requiring a competent assessment and understanding of appropriate referral pathways. We surveyed local GPs about their understanding of youth mental health problems and needs to competently look after young patients. Methods: GPs working in the Hunter region were contacted via email, fax and post over a 6-month period in 2019. Results: Seventy-five GPs participated. They reported 577 of 1698 (34%) of young people seen 2 weeks prior to being surveyed presented with a mental health problem. Predominantly, referrals were to private practice psychologists and Headspace. Almost a third (31%) reported having limited understanding of ‘at-risk mental state’ and are ‘not always comfortable’ when facing a young person with a mental health problem. Nearly all (95%) expressed interest in attending specialised training. GPs identified treatment costs, scarce access to psychiatrists and limited patient engagement as the main obstacles to help young people. Conclusions: Effective treatment of a mental health problem relies on early identification. GPs are seeing young people on a regular basis but don’t feel well equipped for this task and are keen to up-skill, which needs to be addressed by targeted training.

OBJETIVO: Conhecer se enfermeiros do Trabalho somam a satisfação ao exercício da sua prática e quais são os fatores que a ela se associam. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório de corte transversal abrangendo 130 profissionais de empresas das cinco regiões brasileiras. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e foi aplicada a Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho do Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI), em três momentos do período de agosto de 2006 a março de 2007. RESULTADOS: Os cinco aspectos do OSI, associados à satisfação profissional foram: relacionamento com outras pessoas da empresa onde trabalha; conteúdo do trabalho que faz; grau de motivação sentido por seu trabalho; grau de segurança no emprego atual e grau de flexibilidade e liberdade que julga ter no trabalho. CONCLUSÃO: A satisfação profissional apresenta diferenciação significante entre os sexos, remetendo ao fato de que os profissionais possuem percepções diferentes de seu trabalho. Nas enfermeiras, foi evidente a importância e a preocupação com o grau de segurança no emprego. No grupo masculino, predominou a motivação, a participação em decisões importantes, a flexibilidade e liberdade no trabalho.
