Human Rights and Mental Health of Older Women
Authors: Stoppe G. 
Published: September 2022

Older persons represent a large, and the fastest growing, segment of the global population. Women form the majority of older persons with global demographic data consistently showing that women tend to live longer than men, especially at advanced ages. Older women also make substantial contributions to our societies and economies, including as informal caregivers, volunteers and community leaders. Ageing, however, is not gender-neutral and inequality and discrimination experienced by women during their lifespan is often exacerbated in older age. For example, older women are at a higher risk of living in poverty and of facing barriers in accessing basic rights such as health, adequate housing, and protection from violence, abuse and neglect. Yet, the specific challenges created by the intersection between age and gender often remain invisible and understudied. This also applies to people living in Europe. And elderly women with mental disorders face a triple stigma: suffering from mental disorders, being a woman, being old. The presentation emphasises the UN-decade of healthy ageing with fight against ageism, and a paper of the WHO and IPA on the topic of this presentation.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionCOVID-19 had direct and indirect impacts on both mental health and healthcare systems. Evaluating urgent psychiatric consultations may be useful to determine the effects of COVID-19 pandemic since it reflects the condition of psychiatric patients and healthcare systemsObjectivesThis study aims to determine the quantitative or qualitative changes in emergency psychiatry consultations after COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThe socio-demographic characteristics and clinical features of two hundred thirty three patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed in order to compare the emergency psychiatry consultations before (between the dates 11th of March 2019-10th of March 2020) and after (between 11th of March 2020-10th of March 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic.ResultsThe ratio of patients consulted to psychiatry to total emergency department increase after pandemic (%0.03 vs %0.07). Among these patients, the diagnosis of ‘alcohol and substance use disorder’ (%6.1 vs. %15.4) (p=0.03) increased while the diagnoses of ‘obsessive compulsive disorder (5.3% vs. 0%)(p=0.01) and bipolar disorder (%21.1 vs. %20.5) (p=0.02) decreased. Hostility among patient during consultation increased (%19.1 vs. %30.8)(p=0.04). Suicidal thoughts decreased (%25.2 vs. %14.5) (p=0.04). Furthermore, voluntary inpatient treatment (%20.9-%34.2) (p =0.02) increased, transfer to another clinic (%25.2 vs. %12) (p=0.01) and outpatient treatment (%46.1 vs. %42.7) (p=0.01) decreased. An increase in oral treatments (%10.4 vs. %26.5) (p=0.02) and decrease in parenteral treatments (%71.3 vs. 54.7) ( p=0.01) were also reported.ConclusionsOur findings confirmed that after COVID-19 spread the clinical features diagnosis, and treatment modality have changed among urgent psychiatric consultations.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Authors: Baranskaya L. , Kolesnik A. , Levitt A. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionIn the COVID-19 pandemic situation the burden that has fallen on the shoulders of resuscitation anesthesiologists has become really great. These specialists experience emotional and psychical stress that has led to the high risk of formation of the emotional burnout syndrome in the pre-COVID period.ObjectivesA comparative analysis of the formation of a complete syndrome of emotional burnout in 2020-2021 in resuscitation anesthesiologists with varied years of professional activity.MethodsSixty-two resuscitation anesthesiologists volunteered to take part in the study: 47 males and 15 females. The main method of study was V. Boiko’s method of “Diagnosis of level of emotional burnout”.ResultsThe results have shown that, during the said period, the number of doctors with complete syndrome of emotional burnout has significantly increased, that is, all three phases: stress, resistance and exhaustion had formed. The period of study has clearly shown two groups of male doctors: with period of work of 20 or more years, and with period of work of less than 5 years. The said symptoms cause a feeling of physical and psychological overburdens, stress at work and at home, conflicts with management personnel, colleagues and patients.Conclusions
The atypical COVID-19 pneumonia pandemic has laid significant stress on the psychic and physical health of resuscitation anesthesiologists. The high level of psychological strain, accumulation of negative emotions, and the feeling of helplessness led to medical errors and delays in important tactical decisions.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionDysfunctional breathing is a breathing patterns that do not correspond to the physiological needs of the body, provoke many poly-systemic symptoms. Dysfunctional breathing is experienced as a feeling of “difficulty in breathing”, which in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic may be similar to the symptoms of coronavirus infection (Taverne et al., 2021).ObjectivesTo examine the role of socio-demographic predictors in the prevalence of dysfunctional breathing in the Russian population during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThe author’s socio-demographic questionnaire, the Naimigen Questionnaire (Van Dixhoorn, Duivenvoordent, 1985), the STAI (Spielberger et al., 1983) and the “Perceived Stress Scale-10” (Cohen,Kamarck,Mermelstein,1983) were used. The study was conducted online from April 27 to December 28, 2020. It was attended by 1,362 people from all regions of Russia (38.3 ±11.4 y.o.).ResultsIn men, the average values for NQ (11.19±7.74) are lower than among women (18.73±9.96, p=0.000). Persons with incomplete higher education have a higher score on NQ (N=103,NQ=20.44±11.8) than persons with higher education (N=1051,NQ= 17.40±9.63,p=0.048) and candidates/doctors of sciences (N=97,NQ= 15.34±11.20,p=0.005). There was also a connection between the severity of dysfunctional breathing and the level of income, which is associated with a negative correlation between income level and perception of stress (r=-0.215,p=0.000), state (r=-0.165,p=0.000) and trait anxiety (r=-0.127,p=0.000).ConclusionsThe severity of dysfunctional breathing is associated with gender, income levels and education, what can be used to identify a group of people who are most susceptible to the occurrence of dysfunctional breathing during the pandemic COVID-19.

IntroductionAll pandemic outbreaks because of their rapid spread and high mortality rate cause to everyone considerable stress and anxiety.ObjectivesThe aim of the present study is to investigate how news media exposure moderates the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression and self-efficacy, social support, knowledge of the coronavirus and coronavirus perception.Methods223 healthcare providers, men 46 (20.6%) and women 177 (79.4%), working in hospitals in Greece participated in the study. independent t-test, one-way ANOVAs, Pearson’s correlation, multiple-linear regression and moderator’s analysis were analyzed with SPSS23.ResultsOrganization support, friends support, covid-19 knowledge and covid-19 perception are most significant predictors to stress, F (4,218) = 11.47, p < .001 and Adjusted R2- .159. Friends support, covid-19 knowledge and self-efficacy, working with covid19 patients and gender are most significant predictors to anxiety, F (5,217) = 11.16, p < .001 Adjusted R2- .186. Friends support, covid-19 knowledge and self-efficacy and organization support are most significant predictors to depression, F (4,218) = 16.37, p < .001 Adjusted R2-squared: .217. News media exposure did moderate the predictive power of almost all predictors for stress, anxiety and depression, at p<.05.ConclusionsTherefore, the study verifies previous findings arguing that stress, anxiety and depression are strongly associated with numerous factors. These associations seem to be moderated by news media exposure. It is recommended to further explore the impact news media exposure has during crucial periods, such as covid-19 outbreak.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
IPA and WPA-SOAP Strategies to Promote the Human Rights in Mental Health Care of Older Adults
Authors: De Mendonça Lima C.A. 
Published: September 2022

The number of persons with 60 years and more worldwide is estimated to triple by 2050. With the raising burden of the mental health conditions that accompany population ageing, mental health care for older adults has to be under pined by a dignity and human rights based approach. The extraordinary number of human rights violations of the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic has come to the forefront, as consequence of this population vulnerability, the lack of political will to give prior attention to this group needs and the disseminated ageistic attitudes. Discrimination based on age can lead to catastrophic social consequences such as elder abuse, neglect and all forms of violences. Their access to services become reduced, including health, social and justice services. These negative attitutdes, more than only morally unacceptable, are source of unnecessary suffering and increase morbidity and mortality rate. Intersecting across psychiatric diagnoses and interventions are the principles of dignity, autonomy, respect and equality which are all at the base of the call for an United Nations Convention of Rights of the Older People. Keeping all thes points in mind, the World Pschiatric Association Section of Old Age Psychiatry and the International Psychogeriatric Association are working together to promote the Human Rights of Older Adults. The presentation of a webinar, the publication of joint position statements, the organization of symposia in several international congress and the publication of a recent special issue of the America Jornal of Geriatric Psychiatry (October 2021 - https://www.ajgponline.org/issue/S1064-7481(21)X0010-3) are some examples of this common effort.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Psychological determinants associated with vaccination intentions acceptance during pandemic events
Authors: Zartaloudi A. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionPsychological factors, like general self-efficacy, optimism or subjective well-being, might further enhance the understanding of why certain people vaccinate while others do not.ObjectivesTo identify psychological factors associated with people’s decision to vaccinate during pandemic events.MethodsA literature review has been made through PubMed database.ResultsPsychology offers three general propositions for understanding and intervening to increase uptake where vaccines are available and affordable. The first proposition is that thoughts and feelings can motivate getting vaccinated. Low confidence in vaccine effectiveness and concern about safety correlate reliably with not getting vaccinated. The second proposition is that social processes can motivate getting vaccinated. Social norms are associated with vaccination. Recommendation by friends, mainstream media and social media affected vaccination intention. The third proposition is that interventions can facilitate vaccination directly by leveraging, but not trying to change, what people think and feel. To increase vaccine uptake, these interventions build on existing favorable intentions by facilitating action (through reminders, prompts, and primes) and reducing barriers (through logistics and healthy defaults); these interventions also shape behavior (through incentives, sanctions, and requirements). Perceived risk and effectiveness of the vaccine as well as trust in the government and health authorities was related to people’s vaccination intention.ConclusionsThere are significant associations of general individual psychological constructs with the decision to vaccinate. This may provide useful frameworks for understanding the causal mechanisms behind this relationship, which could help to develop intervention strategies to effectively promote vaccination intentions that increase vaccination rates among population.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Long term Follow up Study of Phone Contacts in Catalonia
Authors: Palao Vidal D. , Parra I. , Cebrià Meca A. , Guinovart M. , Gracia R. 
Published: September 2022

We’ll present the Catalan experience of follow up by phone contats of suicide attempters, and the results up to 10 years. We develop a Suicide Prevention Program that started with the EAAD project in 2008 in a 0,5 M people catchment area, later generalized to 7,5 M people through the Catalonia Suicide Risk Code (SRC-Cat). The SRC-cat is a real-time registry of suicide attempts (65% women) that allows immediate attention and telephone follow-up and ensures continuity of care for 12 months. To evaluate the effectiveness of our telephone management plan, we conducted two types of analysis; a) 12-month short-term analysis: non-randomised controlled analysis of suicide reattempts comparing two cities (2007-2008); b) 8-year long-term analysis with the evolution of suicide rates (men and women) between our area, and two other cities (territorial differences and over time from 2010 to 2017). Results: a) the SRC-Cat in our catchment area reduced significantly the proportion of people who re-attempt suicide by 57% over 12 months (from 14% to 6 %); b) we found lower standardized suicide death rate among women in our catchment area (both territorially and over time). Conclusions: a) Short-term telephone management (12-month), ensuring chain of care after hospital discharge, reduces more than 50% the proportion of patients who
re-attempt; b) Long-term telephone management (8-year) of suicide attempt survivors over 12 months, significantly reduces suicide deaths in women only (64% of patients in telephone follow-up are women).DisclosureNo significant relationships.
The Impact of Violence and Abuse on Mental Health of Women – Current Data
Authors: Schouler-Ocak M. , Brandl E.J. 
Published: September 2022

Violence against women is widely recognised as a violation of human rights and a public health problem. The most common forms of violence against women are domestic abuse and sexual violence, and victimisation is associated with an increased risk of mental disorders. It is reported that a three times increase in the likelihood of depressive disorders, a four times increase in the likelihood of anxiety disorders, and a seven times increase in the likelihood of post-traumatic disorder (PTSD) for women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse. Significant associations between intimate partner violence and symptoms of psychosis, substance misuse, and eating disorders have also been reported. Furthermore, systematic reviews of predominantly cross-sectional studies report consistent relationships between being a victim of domestic violence and abuse and having mental disorders across the diagnostic spectrum for men and women, but since women are more likely to be victims, the population attributable fractions are higher for women. In this presentation, the focus will also be on clinical guidance on the role of mental health professionals in identifying violence against women and responding appropriately, poor identification persists and can lead to non-engagement with services and poor response to treatment. After a literature review, we will present and discuss current data from parental consultation and a survey on violence during the Covid-19 pandemic in Berlin.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

In our study, 54.8% of the HCWs had symptoms of depression, 68.2% had symptoms of anxiety and insomnia and 71.4% had symptoms of distress. Binarylogisticregressionanalysisshowedthat being married was associated with depression, anxiety, and insomnia, and being a frontlineworkerappeared to be a risk factor for depression and insomnia. Psychiatric support was an independentrisk factor for all psychiatric symptoms.In addition, living in a rural area was associated with depression, and age 31 or older was associated with anxiety. In addition, having a history of psychiatric illness was a risk factor for insomnia. Being a nurse was identified as a risk factor for psychiatric distress. We also found a moderatelevel of professional commitment to be a protective factor.ConclusionsProtecting healthcare workers is a crucial part of the public health response to the COVID-19 outbreak.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on the challenges and risks faced by frontline healthcare workers (HCW).ObjectivesTo describe the quality of management of HCW affected by the COVID-19.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study enrolling all HCW of Farhat Hached Academic hospital who had been affected by COVID-19 during the period from september to December 2020.ResultsDuring the study period, 267 HCW were affected with a mean age of 42.3 ±10 years and a ratio-sex of 0.25. The most represented category was nurses (33.3%) followed by technicians (26.1%). Gynecology department had the highest number of affected HCW (14.4%).The majority of participants (97.4%) reported a medical care. Twelve HCW (4.5%) were hospitalized with an average length of hospital stay of 7.55 ± 6.12 days. The average length of sick leave was 18.68 ± 10.99 days. During the lockdown, 38.6% of HCW took care of their children without any external help. All of the HCW were supported by phone calls from colleagues in 88.4% of cases, the hierarchy in 67.4% of cases, occupational medicine in 60.3% of cases.ConclusionsThe impact of COVID 19 is greater in HCW than in the general population. The affected staff should have a multidimensional management to avoid post covid sequelae in both physical and mental levels.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionOver the course of COVID 19 illness, olfactory dysfunction was largely described as hyposmia and anosmia. What about phantosmia?ObjectivesIn this study, we aimed to explore olfactory hallucinations among COVID 19 patients.MethodsOur literature review was based on the PubMed interface and adapted for 2 databases: Science Direct and Google Scholar using the following combination ( phantosmia [MeSH terms]) OR (olfactory hallucinations[MeSH terms]) AND (COVID-19 [MeSH terms]).ResultsSmell dysfonction is one of the most revealing sign of COVID 19 infection. However, other symptoms particularlty phantosmia tend to emerge later in the course of the disease. Female predominance was noted among patients sufferning from olfactory hallucinations regardless to their medical history. An unpleasant olfactory sensation was the most described sign. The occurene of phantosmia was also described in one case of women suffering from schizophrenia whom tested positive for COVID 19 infection.ConclusionsOlfactory hallucinations are more and more associated with COVID-19 disease regardless to psychiatric disorders. The pathological mechanism remains unclear and further studies are needed for a better comprehension and management.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionSince the beginning of the pandemic, 4,745,519 cases, 396,878 hospitalizations and 82,884 deaths with COVID-19 have been reported in Spain. As of August 24, 2021, 76.4% of Andalusians over 12 years of age have the complete vaccination regimenObjectivesMain: to calculate the prevalence of COVID 19 infection, clinical evolution and vaccination rate in a population of patients diagnosed with dual depression. Secondary: compare these data with those obtained in patients diagnosed with non-dual depressionMethodsRetrospective descriptive study. The study population is made up of patients diagnosed with dual depression and non-dual depression (according to DSM 5 criterion). Infection, admission, death, and vaccination data were obtained from the patient’s medical historyResultsOf the 10 patients diagnosed with dual depression, the prevalence of COVID 19 infection, since the beginning of the pandemic is 0% and of the 30 patients diagnosed with non-dual depression the prevalence is 3.33% (1/28). Of the patients with COVID 19 infection, none required hospital admission and no deaths occurred. The vaccination rate in the group of patients with dual depression is 30% (3/10) and in the group of non-dual depression is 86.66% (26/30), finding statistically significant differences (P<0.01) between both groups.ConclusionsIn our study the prevalence of COVID 19 infection in patients diagnosed with dual depression is 0% and the vaccination rate is 30%. While in patients with non-dual depression the prevalence is 3.33%, there were no admissions, no deaths and the vaccination rate is 86.66%.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
