Mental health and the aging woman.

The role of the physician as guardian of elderly women's mental and physical health reaches far beyond prescribing medications for symptom relief. The role an elderly woman plays in family, community, and society, are integrally related to the symptoms she experiences. Protocols for evaluation should be taught early and consistently in medical training, and opportunities for creative, multifaceted problem solving should be provided.

Psychiatrists' life and work patterns: a statewide comparison of women and men.

The author systematically assessed the backgrounds, training and career experiences, and perceptions of career-marriage interactions of women and men psychiatrists in a large mid-Atlantic state. Although there were many similarities, the women differed on several sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., marital status, religious affiliation, number of children, and professional status of parents). Women also reported lower incomes than men, even when Board certification and number of hours worked were considered. In addition, compared with men, women perceived less support from their professional colleagues, and a larger proportions of married women felt that career and marriage were mutually enhancing.

Effects of surgery on the mental status of older persons. A meta-analytic review.

The data bases of 18 empirical studies were combined into one comprehensive data set and subjected to meta-analysis. The following trends were observed: (1) surgery has a significantly decompensating impact on the mental status of older persons, and the average effect size observed is modest (r = .37); (2) for all mental status measures included in the review (cognition, delirium and affect), effect size appears to be significantly moderated by patient age; (3) patient sex may be predictive of the kind of mental impairment that is most likely to occur within an older surgery population, with women manifesting a greater affinity for delirious and men for cognitive decompensation; (4) most existing research within this domain of study is either purely descriptive or anecdotal: of 46 studies reviewed, only 18, or 39.1% of the total published output, were of sufficient methodologic rigor to allow for scientifically valid effect-size computations. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
