Objective:
to describe the factors related to psychological impairment and quality of life (QoL) of patients with schizophrenia.
Method:
a cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, carried out with 119 schizophrenics. A questionnaire of sociodemographic and clinical variables was applied, plus BPRS-A and QLS-BR scales. Chi-square test and Spearman’s correlation were used,
Results:
seventy-seven were male and 44 were using typical medications. The “Number of times they were hospitalized” related to “Time of illness” that patients live with schizophrenia showed significance (p=0.266); 91.7% had a severe occupational level (n=109); 34.5% (n=41) had moderate impairment.
Conclusion:
the greater the degree of psychological impairment, the worse the QoL, this worsening may be related to several factors, as well as disease symptoms.

Objective:
To identify the impact of brief intervention paired with art therapy in patients who use alcohol.
Method:
This study presents intra-group design, with 11 alcoholics in the city of Tamarana-PR, Brazil, between 2015 and 2016. A test to identify the alcohol consumption level was used at the beginning/end of the actions. Cohen’s effect size and paired t-test were used to identify the impact of the actions on the reduction of alcohol intake.
Results:
Six participants ceased alcohol consumption, four showed high level of consumption and one presented average consumption. The paired t-test result suggested statistically significant difference between the initial and final scores, as well as 0.76 effect size.
Conclusion:
The brief intervention associated with the art therapy resulted in significant impact in reducing alcohol consumption. Investing in the continuous training of primary health care professionals is crucial to consolidate the improvements achieved.
