Published: June 2010

ObjectivesTo investigate the prevalence of non-fatal suicide behaviors (NFSBs) among patients admitted to an acute psychiatric ward in Bologna, Northern Italy.Methods30 attempters (mean age 45.10±16.12 years) consecutively hospitalized (May-July 2009) were compared to 117 controls randomly selected among patients admitted in the same ward for other reasons than NFSBs. Socio-demographical and clinical information were collected through the retrospective consultation of case-histories. Attempters were clinically interviewed and the Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) was administered. Clinical diagnoses were achieved using the International Classification of Disease-10th Revision (ICD-10) criteria. Associations between non-fatal suicide behaviors and covariates were evaluated by logistic regression analyses, estimating Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).ResultsCases were more often women (63.3%), Italians (83.3%), unemployed (63.3%) and had a lower education (70.8%) than controls. Among attempters, most frequent diagnoses were personality disorders (56.7%) and mood disorders (50%); the 56.7% of cases was affected by concomitant organic disease (OR compared to controls:2.58; 95%CI=1.13-5.85). Stressful life-events were three-fold more frequent in cases than in controls; incongruous drugs assumption was the most common suicidal behaviours. A previous NFSB was highly prevalent in cases (46.7% p< 0.001) with a significantly association (OR:9.01; 95%CI=3.42-23.71) independent from socio-demographic features and diagnoses. SIS mean score was 11.6 ± 7.3 (low intention=53.3%, moderate intention=40%, high intention=6.7%. Increasing intention was associated with a longer duration of hospitalisation (p=0.005).ConclusionsNFSBs are associated with distinct socio-demographic and clinical profiles. Routine assessment of intentionality might help to identify subjects at higher risk of relapse.

IntroductionA monitoring project within the framework of EU supported MONSUE multicentre study on suicidal behaviour has been performed in Pecs catchment area.AimsTo register and statistically analyze all suicide attempts, thus to explore current trends and consequences.MethodsDetailed and complete data registration (epidemiologic, socio-demographic, socio-economic, previous attempts, methods, psychiatric diagnoses) of all suicide attempts was carried out in the region for two years from 2007 to 2009. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 17.0 to compare our results both with those of the previous study in 1999 and with the national data.ResultsAccording to the Hungarian National Statistic Office 2500 suicides occurred in 2008, the population rate is 24.7/100000 inhabitants (40.1/100000 males, 10.7/100.000 females). The most common method for suicide was strangulation in both genders (male: 69.2%, female: 41%). The rate of self-poisoning was higher in females. Regarding suicide attempts we registered 993 cases during the two-year period (males: 41.7%, mean age 38.43 years; females: 58.3%, mean age 42.02 years), which corresponds to former rates. Female attempters were more likely repeaters (60% vs. 40%). The most often used method for suicide attempt was self-poisoning (females 81.9%, males 63.4%) and scarification (females 8.6%, males 21.1%).ConclusionsThese results suggest that the rates of completed suicides decreased significantly to three quarter compared to the rates in the ‘90s, but in contrary suicide attempts show an increasing tendency. The potential explanations are discussed, including restriction of lethal methods, health care changes and the role of prevention strategies.
P03-305 - Beverage Specific Effect Of Alcohol On Suicide And Homicide Rates In Russia
Authors: Razvodovsky Y. 
Published: June 2010

BackgroundHigh suicide and homicide rates in Russia and its profound fluctuation over the past decades have attracted considerable interest. There is growing evidence that binge drinking pattern increasing the propensity for the alcohol-related suicide and lethal violence. In line with this evidence we assume that higher level of vodka consumption in conjunction with binge drinking pattern results in close aggregate-level association between vodka sale and suicide/homicide in Russia.Aims and methodTo test this hypothesis trends in beverage-specific alcohol sale per capita and suicide/homicide rates from 1970 to 2005 in Russia were analyzed employing ARIMA time series analysis.ResultsThe rate of suicide and homicide tend to be more responsive to changes in distilled spirits consumption per capita than to the total level of alcohol consumption. The results of time series analysis suggest that a 1 litre increase in vodka sale is expected to increase suicide rate by 9.3% for men and by 6% for women and homicide rate by 15.2% for men and by 13.4% for women.ConclusionsAssuming that drinking spirits is usually associated with intoxication episodes, these findings provide additional evidence that drinking pattern is important determinant in the alcohol-suicide and alcohol-homicide relationship. The outcomes of this study also provide support for the hypothesis that suicide and alcohol are closely connected in culture were intoxication-oriented drinking pattern prevails and adds to the growing body of evidence that alcohol plaid a crucial role in the fluctuation in suicide mortality rate in Russia during the last decades.

ObjectivesSuicide is a complex phenomenon accounting for 1 million deaths per year. This study aims to assess the profiles of those individuals at a higher risk for suicide, which may be of help to clinicians while evaluating patients.MethodsA sample of 30.000 suicides belonging to two age-bands, i.e. 18 to 24 and over-45s, was analysed and compared with respect to the gender, fatality of the act, season, the reason for it, the time and methods employed. Data were provided by ISTAT records and concern completed and attempted suicides in Italy from 2001-2008.ResultsMales are at a higher risk with a higher lethality of the acts in both age bands. The younger age band is at higher risk from March to June and in January especially in the evening, whereas the older age-band from March to June especially in the morning with a higher fatality rate. Unknown reasons are the most common cause for suicide followed by mental illnesses in both age-bands. Hanging is the most common method, followed by jumping from high places in both age-bands. Charcoal - intoxication is more common in the young age-band, whereas fire-arms and drowning in the over-45 age-band.ConclusionsAlthough the two identified profiles are quite general, they can be an adequate basis for public health officials and mental health professionals to early identify those individuals at a higher risk for suicide. Further studies are needed for a better definition of the profiles.

Published: June 2010

ObjectivesTo implement regional community-based four-level programmes with the aim of improving the care of depressed patients and to reduce suicidality in different European countries.MethodsThe interventions took place on four different levels complementary to each other: (1) educating general practitioners in recognizing and treating depression, (2) raising public awareness for depression (3) training community facilitators (such as priests, social workers, or teachers) about depression, and (4) offering support to high risk groups. In two project phases 17 EAAD partners a) established first a local Alliance Against Depression with the described 4-level approach and then b) started to extend the activities to other regions in the respective countries.ResultsThe EAAD strategy and actions largely base on the results and experiences from the “Nuremberg Alliance Against Depression” that showed a significant reduction (−24%) of suicidal acts. Evaluation within EAAD showed that EAAD material can be readily adapted to different cultures. The strong bottom-up approach helps community members to identify with the local alliance against depression and this boosts motivation and civil commitment as well as self-help. EAAD intervention is also well accepted by the partners as well as the public which can be shown in positive echoes from the media and in ongoing requests for being supported by EAAD in implementing their own local alliance against depression.ConclusionEAAD's 4-level approach reduces suicidal acts and can be implemented across a range of different countries (with different health care systems) with and within different local contexts.

Only recently has the extent and seriousness of the phenomenon of domestic violence been acknowledged, and its consequences, that are not only psychological, but also social and economical have started to be seriously investigated because of long-term consequences such as alcoholism, drug-addiction, depression, job absenteeism, incapacity to raise children, etc.The purpose of the research was to extend knowledge of the interpersonal dynamics of mistreated women by examining the characterizing emotions described by a group of women involved in violent marital relationships. Subjects were a little group of 12 women, users of a Centre for Mistreated women in Rome (Italy) that volunteered to participate in the study. Their age ranged from 24 to 50. Most had children under 18.The method included different instruments: The Adult Attachment Interview (M.Main,1998), and a free report concerning the beginning and the development of the mistreating relationship. The self report was introduced by five questions in which subjects were asked to compare their relationship to a tree, a colour, an animal, a house, a type of music.ResultsEmotions expressed by the group of mistreated women compared to those of a control group, are in a remarkable way characterized by gloominess and mournfulness and are connected to topics such as destruction, fear and death.

IntroductionIn a previous study women with long-term sequalae of child sexual abuse (CSA) were randomly assigned to analytic (Group A) or systemic group psychotherapy (Group S). Pre-post-analysis indicated that both therapies led to significant improvement, but overall Group S had significantly better outcome than Group A. As gains tended to rise in Group A during follow-up and decline in Group S, no statistically significant difference was detected in gains between the two treatment modalities after one year.ObjectivesThis study investigates if gains are maintained five year following termination, and if the groups differ in gains.Methods106 women started on allocated intervention. Psychological distress (GSI from SCL-90R), psycho-social functioning (GAF), and global life quality (GLQ), were assessed before and after treatment and one and five years following termination.Results86 patients (81%) completed group therapy, 68 (64%) completed the one-year follow-up and 64 (60%) the five-year follow-up. At five year follow-up ANOVA was performed using treatment group as a between factor and the four time points as repeated measures. Intention to treat analysis demonstrated that improvement were significant on all measures (P < 0.000). Independent samples t-test on gains was NS for all measures.ConclusionsWomen with a history of CSA who were treated with Group A or Group S treatment maintained statistical significant improvement on GSI, GAF and GLQ five years post-treatment. No significant difference was found in gains between groups.

Published: June 2010

Among somatic diseases accompanied by mental disorders, gynecological pathology occupies important positions. Study involved 100 patients with dysmenorrhea, which were divided into two clinical groups: Group 1 - 50 people aged from 14 to 18 years (period of puberty by WHO) and Group 2 - 50 people aged 18 to 23 years (early reproductive period of WHO). In conducting syndrome evaluation of mental disorders we found that structure of neurotic disorders in patients with dysmenorrhea (group 1) was determined by anxiety (36%), and then followed by prevalence of depressive and asthenic (22% and 18%, respectively) expression. Dissociative, phobic and hypochondriac syndromes were identified in 14%, 10% and 6% of the examined, respectively. The combination of syndromes occurred in 32% of examined. When considering syndrome level of neurotic disorders in women with dysmenorrhea at young reproductive age we found that prevalent in the first place is depression (in 34% of cases), followed by anxiety and asthenia (28% and 22%, respectively). Representation of hypochondriac disorders of examined group 2 increased compared with female patients included in group 1, and reached 18%. Dissociative and phobic manifestations were diagnosed in 16% and 12% women, respectively. Co-morbidity of psychopathological syndromes was diagnosed in 42% of women with dysmenorrhea in early reproductive years. Findings substantiate the need for high therapeutic and preventive strategies used in these disorders in the psychiatric and gynecological practice.This research was done under the RF President Grant for State Support of Young Russian Scientists (№ grant MK-3743.2008.7).

Psychopathology during pregnancy and postpartum period is a clinical-medical affair, as well as a social one.For many woman, pregnancy and postpartum may constitute a trigger, moreover if a woman is, or have been in her life, already affected by a manifest psychopathology or an asymptomatic one.Primary-preventive approach should be considered in preconception planning with all women in childbearing age who have or are at risk for psychopathology and psychiatric illness. For them, preventive and healing standardized and evidence-based programs are needed, in particular with respect of pharmacological treatment in a so critical period; even if is not proved that any specific psychotropic drug is completely safe, due to the fact that all psychotropic medication cross the placenta barrier, there are guidelines to follow. It's as well important to highlight that even if lots have to be studied, evidence suggests that untreated depression, rather than treatment with antidepressant during pregnancy, results in adverse outcomes.Resources, resilence, copying abilities assessment, risk and protective factors evaluation, together with pharmacological treatment costs-benefits balance, are the first steps for a personalized and effective healing program.from a study on a high risk and selected sample recruited from PsicheDonna Center-Milan-Italy (Macedonio-Melloni, Fatebenefratelli Hospital) will be discussed.This center is specialized in women's lifecycle mood disorders; the characterization of this peculiar sample will be presented, with respect to: - diagnosis -risk and protective factors configuration - assessment tools - pharmacological treatment planning - clinical healing activities adopted - intervention and preventive model developed.
