Authors: Fki A. , Thabet O. , Sridi C. , Ksibi S. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionHealthcare workers are at increased risk of Burnout due to the stressful demands of their job.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the related factors of burnout in healthcare workers at the Sahloul University Hospital, TunisiaMethodsData were collected from a cross sectional study using a questionnaire exploring socio-demographic and professional data, lifestyle habits and pathological history. Burnout was assessed using the French version of the Maslash Burnout Inventory (MBI).ResultsOur study included 135 healthcare workers. The average age was 41.7 ± 9.15 years. 81.5% of the sample was female. Nurses accounted for 60% of staff. More than half (51.1%) worked shifts, with night work in 32.6%. A pathological history was noted in 17.8% of healthcare workers, and a history of work-related accidents in 40.7%. The prevalence of burnout in our study population was 42.6%, with a high emotional exhaustion score in 47.4%, a high depersonalization score in 23.7% and a low personal accomplishment score in 73.3%. Burnout was significantly associated with alcoholism (p=0.016), shift work (p=0.037) and the presence of stress at work (p=0.048).ConclusionsThe prevalence of burnout was high in our study population, hence the importance of setting up a burnout prevention strategy in hospitals.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionJob satisfaction is a fundamental pillar of the modern workplace. Recognizing the significance of job satisfaction and actively promoting it has become a strategic imperative in today’s work environment.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to assess job satisfaction and work ability among workers in a confectionery factory.MethodsA cross-sectional study conducted in a Sfax confectionery factory included 200 workers. Data were collected between December 2022 and July 2023 using a pre-established questionnaire. This questionnaire encompassed an evaluation of socio-demographic and professional data, measuring the degree of professional satisfaction and the level of work ability using a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 10.ResultsThe gender ratio was 0.64. The mean age was 33.2 ± 8.8 years. Among our workers, 77.5% reported being satisfied with their work. The average perceived work ability score was 8.15 ± 2.087. Employees with higher levels of satisfaction were more likely to have increased work capacity (p = 0.000). Elevated job satisfaction not only boosts work capacity but can also reduce stress levels, improve overall mental well-being, and contribute to a healthier workplace environment. These factors collectively lead to higher work ability.Conclusions
These findings emphasize the importance of prioritizing employee well-being to enhance overall productivity and company success. Fostering a work environment that prioritizes job satisfaction can lead to a more productive and successful workplace.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Authors: Guider H. , El Alaiki A. , Fadil W. , Hami H. , Hadrya F. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionBurnout syndrome arises as a result of chronic workplace stress that has either been inadequately managed or entirely unaddressed, leading to symptomatic manifestations of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and a decreased sense of professional accomplishment (PA).ObjectivesThis study evaluated the prevalence of burnout and investigated its correlation with resilience among healthcare professionals in Morocco.MethodsA self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in April 2023, comprehensively using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) among 296 healthcare professionals stationed across three institutions located in the Casablanca-Settat region.Results

A total of 158 responses were obtained. Surprisingly, the results indicate that EE was highly prevalent, impacting 43.7% of respondents, while DP was notably affected 44.9% of participants. Conversely, PA was diminished in 58.2% of the respondents. It is worth noting that 44.3% of the participants displayed reduced levels of resilience. Furthermore, statistically significant correlations were observed between resilience and all three dimensions of burnout. Upon gender stratification, the analysis showed that resilience was significantly associated with two burnout dimensions, EE and PA, among male respondents, whereas among their female counterparts, resilience demonstrated a noteworthy correlation with all three dimensions of burnout.ConclusionsThese findings emphasize the pervasive nature of burnout among healthcare professionals and highlight deficiencies in resilience. It is crucial to consider these factors when crafting healthcare policies and devising focused approaches to effectively prevent and manage burnout.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionCrisis resolution teams (CRTs) are a crucial component of mental health care, providing timely support to individuals experiencing acute mental health crises. This abstract delves into the concept of crisis and seeks to identify the patients who stand to benefit from these specialized services.ObjectivesDefining crisis within the context of CRTs can be complex. It encompasses not only immediate emergencies but also broader mental health distress.Research suggests that suitable candidates for CRT interventions are those facing acute mental health crises : This includes individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, severe agitation, or severe emotional distress.La “Escala de Evaluación de Resolución de Crisis” (Crisis Resolution Team Assessment Tool, CRTAT) de Sonia Johnson es una herramienta diseñada para para medir la efectividad de los CRT y la duración de la intervención en crisis. Establece un límite de seis semanas como el período máximo durante el cual se debe ofrecer la atención en crisis.Existen otras escalas de evaluación para medir la eficacia de la resolución de crisis:1.Escala de Intensidad de Crisis (CIS): se utiliza para medir la gravedad de la crisis y la necesidad de intervención inmediata.2.Escala de Evaluación de Crisis de Brage Hansen (BCES): se enfoca en la evaluación de crisis suicidas y evalúa la intensidad de la ideación suicida y la urgencia de la intervención.3.Escala de Evaluación de Crisis de Eriksson (ECAS): Diseñada para evaluar la intensidad de la crisis en pacientes psiquiátricos, la ECAS se centra en la agitación, la ansiedad y la angustia emocional.Methods- Studies have explored the effectiveness of CRTs and the perspectives of service users. Understanding how patients perceive crisis and CRT services is crucial for tailoring interventions effectively.ResultsConclusions- CRTs play a vital role in mental health care, offering timely support to individuals experiencing crises. While defining crisis is complex, suitable candidates often include those in acute distress requiring immediate intervention. Understanding the perspectives of service users and the diverse nature of crisis experiences informs effective crisis resolution strategies.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Introduction
Millions of people have migrated because of violence, wars, disasters, and human rights violations, all of which have increased rapidly in recent years. Türkiye has hosted millions of refugees since 2010. Few studies have focused on the mental health needs of refugees or how these needs have been addressed in Türkiye.ObjectivesThis study examined the experiences of Syrian refugees in a community center in Turkiye as they access mental health services and receive psychiatric nursing care.MethodsA qualitative design was adopted in the study. Data were collected from southern Turkiye between November and December 2021. The researchers conducted three semistructured focus group interviews following Colaizzi’s phenomenological method to analyze the qualitative data. A total of 19 Syrian refugees participated in the focus group interviews.Results
Three key themes related to immigrants’ experiences of receiving mental health services and nursing care were identified: barriers to receiving mental health services, coping with negative experiences in Turkiye, and satisfaction with mental health services. The participants identified the barriers they experienced while receiving health services as those pertaining to language, discrimination, and stigmatization. They also mentioned the methods of coping with these negative experiences in Turkiye. Despite their negative experiences, they expressed satisfaction with the mental health services they received, especially psychiatric nursing care.Conclusions
This study determined that Syrian refugees face barriers to accessing and receiving mental health services. They stated that mental health professionals in Turkiye approach them with empathy, particularly those in psychiatric nursing. Healthcare professionals may be trained in culturally sensitive care to increase awareness. Studies have frequently examined the experiences of nurses providing care to refugees, but few have focused on evaluating nursing care from the perspective of refugees. Syrian refugees have reported various obstacles in accessing and receiving mental healthcare services. Health professionals, especially psychiatric nurses in mental health psychosocial support centers, must facilitate the processes to eliminate these obstacles.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
The Traveling Mind: Moderators, Mediators and Pathophysiology of Migration Psychosis
Authors: Kahil K. , Daou L. , Chabbouh A. , Ghossoub E. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionIt is well established that migrants have a 2 to 4 times increase in psychosis risk. However, estimates are highly heterogeneous and vary considerably depending on origin and destination country. It also seems that the relationship between migration and psychosis is complex.ObjectivesIn this review, we aim to explore the moderators, mediators and mechanisms behind migration psychosis.MethodsWe searched PubMed using the following terms: “psychosis,” “psychotic,” “migra*”, “immigra*”, “schizophreni*.” “pathogene*”. We limited the search to studies published after 2010 and we screened the title, abstract, and full text. We included a total of 47 studies in this narrative review.Results
Moderators identified in the literature were country of origin, vitamin D deficiency, male sex, and psychosocial adversity (e.g. exposure to war). Mediators were mostly social, namely discrimination, social exclusion and ethnic minority status, low ethnic density, as well as language distance, unstable housing, and unemployment. Most of the studies we retrieved found that substance use did not fully explain the increased risk for psychosis among migrants. We found that potential pathophysiological mechanisms include stress-induced alterations in dopaminergic neurotransmission, functional and structural alterations in ventral anterior cingulate cortex, as well as possible stress-resultant neuroinflammation.ConclusionsThis review highlights the pathway from psychosocial hardships to neurobiological alterations leading to migration psychosis. Further research is needed to translate these findings into developing preventive measures and tailoring treatment modalities to the migrant population.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Published: August 2024

Introduction
Millions of people worldwide are forced to migrate to another country and nurses are the key professional for providing necessary health care to this population. Providing nursing care to refugees or immigrants requires diverse transcultural professional competencies based on standardized guidelines.ObjectivesThis study was aimed to examine the bibliographic characteristics of quantitative studies conducted on refugees in the nursing field.MethodsThe data were obtained from articles scanned in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The 1672 articles that were published between 1980-and 2023 and met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using VOSviewer and Microsoft 365 Excel software. The PRISMA 2020 Checklist was used for reporting.ResultsMost publications were made in 2020. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia have the highest number of publications, citations, and international cooperation. Additionally, “mental health” is one of the most used keywords in the studies.Conclusions
The findings show the importance of empowering nurses working in this field, especially in determining the needs related to mental health services for refugees. The increased migration rates and the growing need for refugee health care highlighted the importance of investment in nursing research within this field. Nurses and researchers should aim to establish partnerships and share best practices with the leading countries. Furthermore, nurses require specialized training to competently evaluate and provide nursing care and mental health services to this vulnerable population. Policymakers must prioritize international collaboration, equitable healthcare, and the integration of mental health services within healthcare systems to improve refugee health and reduce barriers between them and health services.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

IntroductionThere is growing evidence of excitation / inhibition (E/I) balance abnormalities in schizophrenia, which might be associated with abnormal gamma frequency oscillations and glutamate concentrations. However, to the best of our knowledge, only one multimodal study have examined such associations between EEG and metabolite characteristics in patients at clinical-high risk of psychosis (CHR) so far.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate potential associations between GLX (glutamate + glutamine) levels and resting-state gamma-band power in CHR individuals and healthy controls (HC).MethodsTwenty right-handed male patients (16-27 years, mean age 19.9 ± 2.7) fulfilling CHR criteria and 19 healthy male controls (16-27 years, mean age 21.6 ± 3.6) underwent resting-state EEG (16 leads; 10−20 system) and MR spectroscopy at 3T MRI scanner with voxels of 30×30×30mm located in left and right medial prefrontal cortex. Spectral analysis with estimation of gamma-band power (30-45 Hz) were conducted. MEGA-PRESS acquisitions were analyzed with jMRUi (ver. 5.1 Alpha), levels of GLX were calculated as a ratios to creatine + phosphocreatine (GLX/Cr). Gamma-band (30-45 Hz) spectral power and GLX/Cr were compared between groups. Correlations between EEG and metabolite data were analyzed with regression model including age and chlorpromazine equivalents as covariates.ResultsCompared to healthy controls, patients showed reduced spectral gamma-band power in 6 leads (Table). No alterations in GLX/Cr were detected. Positive correlations between altered gamma-power in all leads (except Cz) and GLX/Cr in left medial prefrontal cortex were revealed in CHR (F3: r=0.51, p=0.006; F8: r=0. 54, p=0.004; C3: r=0.37, p=0.037; Pz: r=0.51, p=0.039; P4: r=0.56, p=0.009). No correlations in HC group were found. Chlorpromazine equivalents did not correlate with GLX/Cr of gamma power in CHR group.Table.Results of between-group comparisons corrected for multiple comparisons

Positive correlations of such alterations with GLX/Cr and absence of such correlations in HC group are presumably indicative of disturbances in the excitation / inhibition balance in CHR individuals.This study was supported by RFBR grant 19-29-10040Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
Cognitive Neuroscience of Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Neurobiology of Empathic Process
Authors: Pinheiro Ramos C. , Marta J. , Freire M. J. , Mendes S. , Gamito A. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionAutism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is diagnosed when an individual displays irregularity in three key domains: social development, communication, and repetitive behavior/obsessive interests.The theory of mind-blindness in ASD suggests that individuals on the autism spectrum exhibit deficiencies in the typical empathic process, relative to their mental age.Empathy comprises two primary components: firstly, the capacity to attribute mental states to both oneself and others, and secondly, experiencing an emotional response that aligns with the mental state of the other person.ObjectivesThis study aimed to synthetase the latest evidence about the neuropsychiatric basis of empathy in ASD.MethodsA review was conducted, drawing on reputable sources (PubMed and Web of Science databases).Results

A neural basis of empathy has built on a model first proposed by Brothers. It was suggested that social intelligence was a function of three regions: the amygdala, the orbitofrontal and medial frontal cortex, and the superior temporal sulcus and gyrus - the “social brain”. Abnormalities in autism have been found in the amygdala, the orbito and the medial frontal cortex.Amygdala has been implicated primarily in fear perception of facial expressions, as well as in the recognition of other emotions such as sadness and “social” emotions. In addition to fear perception, the amygdala has also been implicated in related processes including eye gaze, affective memory, olfactory learning, and social judgment.To date, findings on amygdala structure in autism have been mixed, with studies indicating reduced and increased volumes, as well as nonsignificant differences.ConclusionsASD is one of the most heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders, and cognitive theories as well as structural findings have linked likely frontal lobe abnormalities to the social and cognitive profiles of autism.Future studies may elucidate existing data by taking advantage of new and infrequently used data acquisition technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
Embodied cognition and urban design: Thoughts through epigenetic advances
Authors: Abdelmoula E. , Abdelmoula B. , Bouayed Abdelmoula N. 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionIn the history of urban planning, the cognitive trend has been a well-established entity since the work of the American urban planner during the mid-’90s; Kevin Lynch. However, for a long time, urban planning has been deprived of the contribution of scientific knowledge from cognitive neurosciences, with a lack of operational recommendations for urban projects.ObjectivesThis study aims to reveal the role of embodiment theories in the revolution of urban design and urban projects through emerging findings in epigenetics and post-genomic biology.MethodsWe conducted an exhaustive review of the scientific literature to establish the relationship between embodied cognition and urban design through advances in epigenetics as well as potential applications of such finding. Our inquiry was to find out whether there was a scientific way to measure and quantify the performance of urban spaces.ResultsOur review revealed that, epigenetics and epigenomics have provided new explanations and perspectives to certain debates on the theory of embodied cognition and that of enaction. Epigenetic marks constitute a bodily memory that enables cognition to emerge as a function of the level of adaptation to the environment. In fact, embodiment refers to thoughts, emotions and behaviors based on sensory experiences and bodily positions, while the enaction is a way of conceiving cognition that focuses on the way in which human organisms and minds organize themselves in interaction with the environment.ConclusionsCognition is the result of a level of adaptation to the environment determined by physiological parameters that confer possibilities of action depending on previous interactions with the environment. The regulation of epigenetic marks which are technically quantifiable is now recognized as the fundamental mechanism involved in the brain’s ability to create, dismantle or reorganize neural networks throughout life depending on various experiences including environmental ones.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
