Approach to emotional disorders in university services: research and clinical practice.
In the current context, psychological care services are a resource of special relevance to the university population, providing guidance, support, and prevention of psychopathological problems in the critical stage between adolescence and adulthood. At the Complutense University of Madrid, there is a clinic that provides traditional care (CUP-UCM) and a telematic service that offers free assistance, via phone and email, to students enrolled at UCM or in one of its residence halls (Psicall.UCM). Both services combine clinical assistance tasks with research.
This symposium will present the results of two studies on the emotional profiles of students who use these resources; on the other hand, the results of clinical evaluation using new technologies, virtual reality, will be presented through the exposition of several cases.
From the Psicall team, two research studies are presented. The first analyzes the differential emotional profile of students who contact the service by phone versus those who contact by email. It is of interest to understand these differential profiles to adapt and improve the quality of psychological interventions. The second study examines the differential disorder profiles according to different branches of knowledge.
The results of a research study that tracks the evolution of the severity of patients treated at the CUP-UCM are also presented, comparing data from young patients versus adult patients. Finally, the results of several cases are presented, in which the use of virtual reality played a significant role in the evaluation. Procedures, difficulties encountered, and solution strategies are analyzed.
