IntroductionDoctors have many constraints in their professional practice, which influence negatively the quality of their performance. This causes a psychological distress.AimTo compare job satisfaction (JS), burnout (BT), anxiety, depression and coping strategies among doctors of medical (DMS) and surgical specialities (DSS).MethodComparative and cross-sectional study conducted among 33 DMS and 63 DSS with different grades, in the university hospital Farhat Hached Sousse, Tunisia. We used job satisfaction scale (JSS) to determine the degree of JS, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) to evaluate anxiety and depression, the Maslach burnout inventory to assess the BT and the brief cope to determine coping strategies.ResultsDMS were older than the DSS (P = 0.005). The MSC had more unsettled family life (P = 0.04) and more monthly guard (5.87 vs. 4.96, P = 0.03). DMS had more days of outpatient (P = 0.00), were more satisfied with the work schedule (P = 0.00), conditions of the guards (P = 0.02). Relationships with colleagues were more satisfactory among DMS (P = 0.001). DMS were less confronted to violent events (P = 0.03). The average score of JSS was higher among DMS (P = 0.014). The BT was more reported in the DSS (P = 0.049). An average sub-score HADS-D (depression) was higher in the DSS (P = 0.00). An avoidance-focused coping was more adopted by the DSS (P = 0.02).ConclusionDSS were generally less satisfied in their work than DMS with obvious psychological repercussions. This incites to intervene in factors that interfere with job satisfaction to improve the quality of physicians’ performance.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Malingering and medicalization in Israeli higher education: A critical inquiry of students feigning learning disorders
Authors: Katchergin O. 
Published: June 2017

This lecture stimulates new thinking about learning-disorders. Previous research in Israel regarding students with learning-disorders did not analyze the social processes through which students acquire the disability label. Therefore, the scenario of some students seeking the learning-disorder label in order to gain academic advantage has not been discussed in the professional literature within this context. The lecture is based on forty in-depth interviews conducted with self-testified malingering students who, nonetheless, were diagnosed as learning-disordered. Using sociological and narratological frameworks, the lecture discusses the strategies used by the students prior to, and during, their formal diagnoses, in order to influence the diagnosis outcome and convince the diagnosticians that they were genuinely “learning-disordered”. The strategies are divided into three clusters corresponding to the pre-diagnostic, diagnostic, and diagnostic-interview stages. The students’ stories challenge a number of assumptions that are embedded in the educational–academic and medical discourses regarding students with learning-disorders. Moreover, the lecture maps the reasons used by the interviewees in order to justify pretending to be learning-disordered. Prominent among these rationalizations are claims of “equal opportunity”, “objective science”, “lack of choice”, “everybody does it” and “it's a unique situation”, as well as minimizing statements. Finally, the clinical cases described are placed within the current Israeli educational and cultural context characterized by medicalization trends as well as the negative images of “effort” on the one hand, and the meritocratic ethos of “success” on the other. It is suggested that these may shed some light on the ever-growing number Israeli learning-disordered students.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Authors: Preve M. , Ruccia A. , Traber R. , Colombo R.A. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionSerotonin syndrome is a potential adverse reaction to drugs increasing serotoninergic activity in the nervous system, some of them being frequently prescribed, such as antidepressant drugs. The association of myoclonus, diarrhea, confusion, hypomania, agitation, hyperreflexia, shivering, in-coordination, fever and diaphoresis, when patients are treated with serotoninergic agents, could constitute a “serotonin syndrome”. The purpose of this report is to review the clinical evidence of serotonin syndrome with SSRIs augmentation of amisulpride. We propose two case report and literature review.MethodWe conducted a systematic review of the literature with the principal database (PubMed, Enbase, PsychInfo) and we present two case report [1,2].ResultsWe describe two different case report with SSRIs augmentation of amisulpride.Discussion and conclusionTo our knowledge this is no report about the emergence of serotonin syndrome due to the use of SSRIs augmentation of amisulpride. Serotonin syndrome symptoms include high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, fever, dilated pupils, and diarrhea. Further research is warranted to replicate our clinical and qualitative observations and, in general, quantitative studies in large samples followed up over time are needed. Methodological limitations, clinical implications and suggestions for future research directions are considered.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Authors: Kato L. , Radchuk O. , Tukaiev S. 
Published: June 2017

The syndrome of emotional burnout is developed in people whose profession requires a lot of communication, and the effectiveness of their work depends on its quality. The aim of our study was to determine the influence of burnout on relational maintenance strategies.8 professors of università della Svizzera italiana, Lugano, Switzerland participated in this research. We used Maslach Burnout Inventory and The relational maintenance strategies scale. Moderate level of emotional exhaustion was detected in the majority of the participants. This condition is characterized by the urge towards finding a place to stay alone and get some rest from everything and everybody. It is accompanied by the feeling of emptiness, depression, and apathy. These indicate pronounced tiredness, disappointment, and unwillingness to work among our participants. The high level of Lack of personal accomplishments phase is being developed in all the participants. It indicates the pronounced doubts in the necessity to keep performing the work and in the fact that the work is needed and recognized by other people. We demonstrated that among the professors with burnout such strategies as conflict management, openness, assurances and positivism are the most widespread. Our data indicate that the readiness to work together on certain project or scientific problem (Openness), the willingness to support a student (Advice Giving) and the help to find necessary support outside of current academic environment (Social Networks) decreases with the development of emotional burnout. Understating the level of one's self-appraisal, observed during the development of burnout, ruins effective collaboration between professors and their PhD students, and formalizes their relationships. Thus, burnout is an important mediating variable between interpersonal aspects of work environment.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionNon-psychotic mental disorders of organic register tend to have protracted progressive course, to respond poorly to treatment. Traditionally it is explained by features of cerebral-organic process. However, affective, behavioural and cognitive disturbances can be complicated by medico-social problems including treatment-related.ObjectiveTo analyse efficiency and stability of results of the therapy of organic mental disorders and propose approaches and means of their improvement.MethodsClinical-psychopathological, epidemiological, clinical-dynamic, catamnestic, experimental-psychological, medical statistics.ResultsThe most frequent causes of decompensations of organic mental disorders in patients with positive results of the therapy were analyzed. Sixty-four percent (58 patients) after 6 months showed partial recurrence of symptoms and after a year the condition practically returned to the initial one. However, only 12.22% (11 patients) passed recommended course of maintenance therapy to sufficiently full extent, 23.33% (21 persons) have discontinued it due to subjective causes during a month after discharge, about 2/3 of patients during the first two months of the therapy. Patients showed low indicators of therapeutic compliance, low level of therapeutic alliance, little familiarity with the illness and treatment and unrealistic expectations about prospects of the therapy. During insignificant difficulties in the therapy, it usually was discontinued and renewed during relapse of symptoms. A medico-social approach with support of psychotherapeutic and psycho-corrective work and information educational programs were developed.ConclusionProposed psychotherapeutic and educational approach heightens efficiency and stability of treatment and can serve a basis for further improvement of psychiatric, psychotherapeutic and medico-social assistance for patients with organic mental disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
Dangerous or Vulnerable? A Genealogy of “Difficult and Violent Adolescents” in France
Authors: Gansel Y. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionDifficult adolescent is a clinical category, defined by psychiatrists’ expertise and referred to psychoanalytical concepts. Since the end of the 1990s, it has been extensively used to describe a marginal population in public institutions managing youth deviancy in France. This success occurs against a backdrop of institutional reforms, converging towards politics of suffering and risk management.ObjectivesContributing to the anthropology of mental health, this communication provides comprehensive elements to this success.MethodsInterconnected networks of 49 documents were analyzed using a genealogical method based on Foucault's late conceptions and Ian Hachking's works on constructivism.ResultsResults have shown that the category of difficult adolescents found its ecological niche in the 1960s, revealing a moral tension in the use of constraint. At that time, the introduction of the psychoanalytical notions of transference and counter transference depicted a clear distinction with previous categories such as the “abnormals” or “maladjusted youth”. Since then, it has defined an ambiguous condition, suspended between the trouble of caregivers and the adolescents’ individual disorder. In addition, the extension of clinical expertise silences social issues, such as gender discriminations, ethnicity and access to employment.ConclusionsThe reforms of custodial treatments represented the initial conditions of detection for difficult adolescents, raising new problems of intractable individual and institutional linkage. Driving towards a biographical personalization, the category allows new forms of regulation in the use of institutional power.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionWhile research on religious beliefs as an adjustment is on the rise, less is known regarding such process following stillbirth and no study has been conducted on a sample of Moroccan women.ObjectivesThe aim of the present study is to extend the current literature by:– identifying a typology of Moroccan women who experienced stillbirth based on several dimension of religious coping strategies;– examining whether these profile differ on grief, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) symptoms.MethodsOne hundred Moroccan women who experienced stillbirth were recruited through a Moroccan public hospital. At 6 weeks following stillbirth, they completed questionnaires assessing Religious Coping Strategies (RCS), PTSD, PTG, anxious and grief symptoms.ResultsFive clusters were identified: one with high level of plead and religious avoidance coping strategies, one with high level of interpersonal coping strategies, one with multiple religious coping strategies, one with discontent religious coping strategies and one with low religious coping strategies. High levels of psychological symptoms were found in the 5 cluster and PTG symptomatology was as associated with increased RCS.ConclusionOur findings suggest that, while religious beliefs and practices as a coping strategy do not protect from short-term psychopathological symptoms in the immediate aftermath of stillbirth, they play an important role in the development of positive reactions. As PTG symptoms have been reported be a protective factor for long term psychiatric symptomatology further longitudinal studies focusing in this area is warranted.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Prevalence and Consequences of Bullying: What Could Healthcare Services Do for Intervention?
Authors: Wolke D. 
Published: June 2017

Bullying is the systematic abuse of power and defined as aggressive behavior or intentional harm doing by peers that is carried out repeatedly, and involves an imbalance of power between the victim and the bully. One in 3 children report having been bullied at some point in their lives, and 10 - 14% experience chronic bullying lasting for more than six months.Longitudinal research indicates that children who were victims of bullying are at higher risk for common somatic problems, internalizing problems and anxiety or depression disorder, psychotic symptoms and are at highly increased risk to self-harm or think about suicide in adolescence [1]. The mental health problems of victims and bully/victims remain in adulthood. Indeed, we showed that peer bullying in childhood has more adverse effects on diagnosed anxiety and depression disorders than being physically or sexually abused or neglected by parents. Victims also report to have more trouble with making or keeping friends in adulthood and were less likely to live with a partner and have social support. In contrast, bullies had no increased risk for any mental or general health problems, were healthier than their peers, emotionally and physically.Sadly, many bullied children suffer in silence. To prevent dropping out of school, violence against oneself (e.g. self-harm) and reduce mental and somatic health problems, it is imperative for health practitioners, families and schools to address bullying.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.
Probability of Relapse Scale (PRORES) for psychiatric inpatients
Authors: Shoka A. , Lazzari C. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionThe prediction of relapse in presentation is central to psychiatric prognosis.ObjectivesThe Probability of Relapse Scale (PRORES) (Table 1) is used by the authors to predict the likelihood of relapse by psychiatric inpatients.AimsTo tailor better care plans by knowing the likelihood of relapse and readmission to hospital.MethodsEighteen inpatients were diagnosed with the ICD-10 codes. Results were reported on a 5-point probability scale from 0 (less severe) to 10 (most severe). The 5 items are: degree of severity of illness, degree of patient's insight, frequency of readmission into hospital, probability of discontinuation of therapy and probability of relapse in the 4–6 weeks after discharge.ResultsWith the cut-off score at 25 (score 5 × 5 items), indicating a moderate level of relapse, we ascertained that 100% of patients with a personality disorder (usually borderline) and substance misuse relapse are readmitted shortly after discharge, compared with 85.71% of those with psychoses and 66% of those with mood disorders.ConclusionsThe PRORES can help support those patients who are at elevated risks of relapsing due to any of the major causes: discontinuation of treatment, chronicity and poor insight into their own condition (Table 1).Table 1PRORES Scale.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
