Published: August 2024

Introduction
Eating disorders (ED) are serious mental and physical illnesses that involve complex and damaging relationships with eating, exercise, and body image. They emerge due to a multifaceted interplay of factors, including familial predispositions, personality traits, and cultural influences. While societal beauty standards are recognized as significant risk factors, it is hypothesized that the roles and responsibilities associated with adult womanhood may also contribute to their development. In particular, the unique challenges faced by women, especially in developing countries like Turkey, may lead to discontent with traditional gender roles.ObjectivesThis study aims to explore the connection between eating disorders, female identity perceptions, body attitudes, expectations regarding women’s roles within families, and their potential association with body dysphoria. We investigate whether eating disorders are linked to a form of sexual dysphoria and body dysmorphia related to femininity rather than solely driven by societal beauty ideals.MethodsData from 228 female college students, both undergraduate and graduate, were collected via online surveys. The survey instruments included a sociodemographic form, the Eating Attitude Test, the Gender Roles Attitude Scale, and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire.ResultsThe average age of the participants was 24.41 (18-33) years. Regression analysis revealed that age (β=-0.155, p=0.015), the belief that physical appearance would be less important if they were male (β=0.292, p<0.001), and maternal criticism about weight (β=0.239, p<0.001) were influential factors in shaping eating attitudes. Surprisingly, no significant relationship was found between eating attitudes and traditional gender roles (β=0.072, p=0.246). However, we did establish a connection between aspiring to meet ideal thinness standards and perceiving women as disadvantaged in the workplace due to their traditional gender roles (t(226)=2.32, p=0.021), as well as with maternal criticism (t(225)=3.55, p<0.001).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the absence of a direct link between eating attitudes and traditional gender roles may be attributed to an individual’s perception of their environment rather than their self-assessment of masculinity within an egalitarian context. Notably, maternal influences specifically their criticism regarding their daughters’ weight and the roles assigned to mothers significantly shape these perceptions and, consequently, eating behaviors, aligning with existing literature (Ferreira et al., 2021). This underscores the need to consider eating disorders within a broader biopsychosocial framework, encompassing attitudes toward the world and one’s role within it.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Published: August 2024

IntroductionNew technological trends and access to more information have generated an anxious disorder and the need to obtain everything that the consumer society has to offer, this has increased with the influence of neuromarketing in internet ads.ObjectivesThe objective that was raised in the present investigation was to analyze the influence of neuromarketing in the increase of anxiety reflected in compulsive purchases of women in the city of Santa Marta.MethodsThe field research design is non-experimental and cross-sectional, the sample taken was of 500 women with purchasing power of more than three Colombian minimum wages.The IDARE Ch. Spielberger, R. Díaz Guerrero et al. (1966) checklist was applied; To review the relationship between advertising with neuromarketing, anxiety and compulsive purchases, a Likert-type scale instrument was designed and validated with the Alpha Cronbach Coefficient. Analysis of Covariance ANOVA, inferential statistics and SPSS were performed.Results
57% of the women meet the criteria for the IDARE clinic. The analysis of the questionnaire showed a goodness of fit of R² = 0.697. The result indicates that the more hours women spend on the internet with access to ads focused on neuromarketing, the more they feel the need to buy, and this generates anxiety processes.ConclusionsThe mental triggers used by neuromarketing accelerate the need in women to buy the solutions that they sell and the same need to buy is evident in the signs of anxiety that is reflected in the women under study. Training that educates women to spend less time connected to the Internet is recommended, but it is also essential that they understand that advertising and marketing exert pressure that increases their anxiety and need to purchase, so it is recommended the implementation of training in personal management and control.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Published: August 2024

IntroductionIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a major source of perceived stress for the women who suffer from it. To cope, they tend to implement multiple coping strategies depending on a number of contextual factors including, among others, the severity and frequency of abuse, the duration of the relationship, and available resources such as social support and financial resources.ObjectivesTo study the coping strategies used by women who are victims of IPV.To study the factors associated with coping strategies among these women.MethodsWe conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional observational study, carried out over a 10-month period from March 2021 to December 2021, among female victims of IPV consulting psychiatric emergencies at UHC Hedi Chaker, Sfax, Tunisia for medical expertise at the request of the court.The Brief-COPE is a 28-item self-assessment questionnaire designed to measure coping with a stressful life event. It can be divided into 3 subscales: problem-focused, avoidance-focused, and emotion-focused.ResultsThe total number of participants was 120 with an average age of 37.27 years. The majority had secondary education or less (62.5%), were professionally active (53.3%), and were financially dependent on their partners (26.7%). As for the women’s clinical characteristics, 19.2% were under psychiatric care and 15% had attempted suicide (SA). Almost all the women surveyed (99.2%) had reported at least one previous incident of IPV. These incidents were daily in 60.5% of cases. Emotional violence was severe in 75.8% of women.The emotion-focused strategy was the most widely used, with a mean score (29.68) on the Brief cope scale. It was correlated with the absence of a personal psychiatric history (p=0.02), the absence of SA (p=0.036), and the occasional frequency of IPV (p=0.037). The scores for problem-focused coping and avoidance-focused coping are 19.3 and 17.24 respectively. Avoidance-focused coping was negatively correlated with the presence of severe emotional abuse.ConclusionsThe most used strategy by our population was the emotion-focused strategy, with a relatively high average score compared to the other strategies. Indeed, it may be an extremely effective strategy for recovering from a traumatic event, through actions designed to help these women manage and relieve their psychological distress and reduce its negative impact.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Authors: Ramdal G. , Wynn R. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionIt is important to prevent school dropout and to help students who have dropped out re-enroll in school. Dropping out of school is associated with an increased risk of unemployment, low salaries, and receiving social security or disability benefits. In this study, we interviewed participants in ‘Guttas Campus’ (The Boys’ Camp), which is a group-based intervention that aims to support disengaged boys from the 9th grade and through their transition to high school. The intervention consists of a two-week learning camp. The students subsequently participate in mentoring groups, with teachers and other camp participants, for a period of 18 months.ObjectivesWe present a study of a school dropout prevention program.Methods
16 students were interviewed qualitatively. The interview data were analysed by drawing on the method of Grounded Theory.ResultsWhen the students who have completed the learning camp were asked what they believed were the most important and useful parts of the intervention, some common themes emerged: 1) The learning camp community provided a safe environment and helped give the participants learning and coping experiences that increased their self-confidence. 2) The students brought up the method of teaching, which they described as more persistent, adaptive and encouraging than they had been used to from regular school. 3) The students also mentioned the intervention’s focus on character strengths such as willpower, self-control and optimism as central to increasing their motivation to learn.ConclusionsThe students that were interviewed were generally positive to the intervention, as mentioned several factors that they believed were useful in increasing their motivation and ability to learn.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
The Imperative of Trauma-Informed Care: A Comprehensive Review and Strategies for Implementation in Health Services
Authors: Cunha C. , Gomes M. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction
Psychological trauma is a significant public health concern with long-lasting effects on physical and mental well-being. Trauma-informed care is an approach to providing support and services that acknowledges and integrates an understanding of the pervasive impact of trauma on individuals. This review delves into the critical imperative of trauma-informed care within the realm of health services. Recognizing the pervasive impact of trauma on individuals’ physical and mental well-being, this REVIEW aims to explore existing literature, identify key objectives, and propose effective methods for implementing trauma-informed strategies in health services.ObjectivesTo Review Existing Literature on Trauma: Conduct an review of the literature to comprehend the varied dimensions and consequences of trauma on individuals’ health; To Identify Key Principles of Trauma-Informed Care: Explore established principles of trauma-informed care, highlighting their relevance and applicability within health service settings; To Propose Implementation Strategies: Develop practical strategies for integrating trauma-informed care into health services, ensuring a comprehensive and sensitive approach to patient care.MethodsA review of published articles, books, and reports related to trauma and trauma-informed care to establish a foundational understanding.ResultsPsychological trauma can have profound and multifaceted impacts on individuals, affecting their mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. The consequences of psychological trauma can vary widely based on the nature, severity, and duration of the traumatic experience, as well as individual factors such as resilience and support systems. Trauma-informed care aims to create an environment that is sensitive to the needs of those who have experienced trauma, and it is based on six key principles: safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural competence. Healthcare providers need to understand trauma beyond the personal and acknowledge the cultural, historical, social, political, and structural trauma that impact individuals and communities across generations. This approach recognizes that there is a risk of retraumatization in social and health services, especially for minority communities.ConclusionsThis review underscores the pressing need for health services to adopt trauma-informed care strategies. By acknowledging the prevalence and impact of trauma on health outcomes, the healthcare sector can transition towards a more patient-centered and empathetic approach.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
Fahr’s Disease and its neuropsychiatrist manifestations: A case report
Authors: Fernández B. , Moreira R. A. , Gomes H. J. , Justo J. M. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionFahr’s Disease, also known as Fahr’s Syndrome, is a rare genetically dominant disease, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of calcium deposits, or calcifications, in various areas of the brain, particularly the basal ganglia. These calcifications, which are typically bilateral and symmetrical, can lead to a wide range of neurological and psychiatric symptoms, making diagnosis and management challenging. It usually manifests between the ages of 40 and 60, primarily after the age of 30.ObjectivesTo contribute to the medical literature by sharing this rare case, thereby increasing awareness and knowledge about Fahr’s Disease among healthcare professionals.MethodsNon systematic review of the literature and access to the medical history of the patient.ResultsWe present a case of a 42 year old woman, who came to our hospital with behavior changes, with increasing confusion and new mystical beliefs, insomnia and agitation.According to the patient’s husband, the patient sounded confused and inappropriate in her speech. The patient was admitted for evaluation of altered mental status. The patient was alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation in the emergency department, with shudder while neurologically intact. The patient was unpolite, agitated.Psychiatry was consulted for evaluation. We decided to admit the patient and did a posterior study with a CT scan and MRI. The MRI, as well as CT scan revealed “dense calcification of the dentate nuclei and the basal ganglia”, highly suggestive of Fahr’s syndrome. The patient’s phosphorus level was 3.5 mg/dl (normal level: 2.5-4.5 mg/dl). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) intact was 53 pg/ml (normal level: 15-65 pg/ml), and calcium level was 10,3 mg/dl (normal level: 8.4-10.5 mg/dl). The vitamin D 25-hydroxy concentration was 43,5 ng/ml (normal level: 30-60 ng/ml).ConclusionsIn conclusion, Fahr’s Disease is a rare and complex neurological disorder characterized by idiopathic calcification of the bilateral basal ganglia, resulting in a diverse range of neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and neuroimaging, while treatment is primarily symptomatic. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms driving calcification in the brain and to develop more effective therapeutic strategies for this challenging condition.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
Issues around vulnerability among people attended by a Portuguese community-based association: a qualitative secondary analysis
Authors: Laranjeira C. , Querido A. I. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionDespite vulnerability being a poorly understood concept is a key concept in health and social care disparities. Typically, vulnerable groups include individuals with physical and/or mental disabilities, children, the elderly, members of the lower social classes, and refugees. In Portugal, the pandemic was responsible for worsening inequalities in access to health and social care for the most vulnerable. To the best of our knowledge, there is a dearth of qualitative research on vulnerability from the viewpoint of those who are vulnerable or work with the most vulnerable.ObjectivesAs expressions of vulnerability are strongly influenced by cultural factors, this study aims to examine issues of vulnerability among people who attend and work in a Portuguese community-based association.Methods
Secondary analysis of qualitative data from twelve vulnerable people and fifteen professionals who attended these people. The manifestations of the vulnerability reported by participants included being homeless, being a migrant, having an infectious disease, being drug dependent, living with socioeconomic difficulties (unemployment), and experiencing a process of loss and grief. They also reported having a mental or physical health problem, or both. Depression and anxiety were the most often reported mental health disorders. Regarding the academic background of professionals, most of them (n = 12) are from social sciences (e.g., social workers, social mediators, and psychologists).ResultsThree main themes emerged from the study: (1) meanings of human vulnerability; (2) barriers to vulnerability mitigation; and (3) approaches to addressing vulnerability. Our findings revealed that vulnerability is a very dynamic process of openness to conditions that impact individual outcomes. However, there is a conceptual gap: being vulnerable is perceived as something negative, but vulnerability also has the potential to change priorities in life for the better. Some participants emphasized the importance of self-care to avoid becoming vulnerable themselves, particularly in terms of mental health.ConclusionsUnderstanding the social determinants of vulnerability is necessary to achieve satisfactory care for human groups. Practitioners need to be aware of these larger societal dynamics, understand them, and make sure their services are responsive to cultural differences. In order to develop interventions that promote social and health outcomes, practitioners should be encouraged to share knowledge on best practices.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Published: August 2024

IntroductionThere is a growing concern about the link between musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and psychosocial risk (PSR) among electricians. Both MSD and PSR represent a threat to the electrician’s health, quality of life and productivity.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the link between PSR and MSD among electricians.MethodsThe study was conducted in a group from an electricity society. Data were gathered between January-June 2022 using a self-administered questionnaire evaluating socio-professional characteristics, the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire during the previous year and the validated French version of the questionnaire KARASEK.ResultsOur study included 68 male electricians. The mean age was 39.2 ± 10.3 years. The average job tenure was 16± 11.4 years. According to the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire, 50% of participants experienced pain during the last 12 months.About half of the electricians had high psychological demand (48.5%), 63.2% had a low latitude, and 76.5% had low social support. According to the Karasek model, tense electricians accounted for 26.5% and assets 22.1%. MSDs were associated with high psychological demand at work (p = 0.02).ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that PSR and MSDs are associated among electricians and are highly prevalent. They represent an important concern of the occupational and safety health system. The prevention of MSD should take into account the specific working conditions of electricians to reduce their exposure to psychosocial risk factors in the workplace.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Published: August 2024

Introduction
Traumatic childhood has increasingly high incidence rates and can be predictive of negative health outcomes. There is a large consensus indicating that childhood trauma is significantly involved in the development of mood disturbances in adulthood.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between retrospectively recalled childhood trauma and adulthood anxiety and depression in a sample of undergraduate university students.Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 365 university students randomly selected from 8 universities in Sfax (Tunisia). Information about childhood maltreatment, depressive and anxiety symptoms were gathered through the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) respectively. To test the hypothesis, examining the relationship between anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma, we used Spearman’s correlation test. Multivariate logistic regression models were used as well.ResultsThe mean age of our participants was 20.3 years. More females (68.2%) than males participated in the study. Our findings showed that the five childhood trauma subtypes (emotional abuse and neglect, physical abuse and neglect, sexual abuse) were significantly correlated with anxiety and depression symptoms severity (p<0.01). Emotional abuse was the strongest risk factor for adulthood anxiety symptoms (OR=6.002, 95% CI= [3.238; 11.125]) while emotional neglect was the strongest risk factor for depressive symptoms in adulthood (OR=6.214, 95% CI= [3.428; 11.267]). Multivariate analysis revealed that, in subjects with childhood trauma, scores of anxiety symptoms were positively and highly associated with the severity of emotional abuse (adjusted B=1.438, 95% CI= [1.951; 9.092], p=0.000). Depression symptoms severity were as well positively correlated with severity of emotional abuse (adjusted B=0.848, 95% CI= [1.043; 5.224], p=0.039), and severity of emotional neglect (adjusted B=1.044, 95% CI= [1.263; 6.389], p=0.012).Conclusions
This study highlighted the relevance of childhood trauma as a factor contributing to anxiety and depression in adulthood. Thus, early psychological support of victims of childhood trauma can reduce the rate of anxiety and depression among these subjects.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
