Introduction The study aimed to assess the relationship between
mental disorders symptomswithpain coping strategies indentistry
clinics.
Method One hundred and twenty people with dental pain
that attended in dentistry clinics were randomly selected and
responded to Rosenstein and Keefe’s Pain Coping Strategies Ques-
tionnaire (PCSQ) and Derogatis’s Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R).
PCSQ assesses six pain coping strategies: diverting attention,
reinterpretation pain sensation, self-negotiation, ignoring pain,
disastrous thought, hope–praying, and SCL-90 measures nine
dimensions: somatization, obsessive compulsive, interpersonal
sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid
ideation, and psychoticism. The data were analysed with Pearson
correlation coefficient and independent t-test.
Results Findings showed positive and significant relationship
between disastrous thought with all mental disorders symptoms;
and reinterpretation pain sensation with depression and anxiety.
Also there is negative significant relationship between ignor-
ing pain with obsessive compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity and
somatization; and hope – praying with interpersonal sensitivity,
depression, anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. Mean-
while there were significant differences in males and females.
Females got more scores in ignoring pain thanmales, andmales got
more scores in anxiety, hostility and paranoid ideation tan females.
Discussion With regard to findings, it is recommended that in
addition to drug treatment, for changing the attitudes and thinking
in patients with dental pain, psychiatrists and psychologists apply
psychological treatments specially cognitive-behavior therapy to
reduce abnormal thinking level about pain so that the length dur-
ing of treatment declines, and as a results reduce the personality
and health problems that is related with dental pain before and in
during of drug treatment.

Introduction The work describes a successful experience in the
utilization of art as a tool to work the prevention of the use of
drugs. The experience was developed with children and adoles-
cents between the ages of 3 and 17 who reside in a risky area near
Latin America’s biggest dump, located in the city of Taguatinga, FD,
Brazil.
Objectives Create a therapeutic space to make possible the dia-
log with the children and adolescents, promoting the prevention
and the consciousness about the harm of the use of psychoac-
tive substances, providing clarification on the theme, through art,
being the use of formal language and terms, like “illicit drugs”,
unnecessary.
Methods The children, who participated in the project, used, as
expression tool, several painting items. The public was divided by
age in two groups: the children received ludic approach, allowing
the team nearness and interaction with them, in such a way that
the former transmitted information and guidance about the harm
on the use of psychoactive substances.
Results The results were satisfactory. All the children and ado-
lescents involved in the project demonstrated adhesion to the use
of the offered tools and established a communication link, which
allowed the receptivity of information about prevention in the use
of psychoactive substances.
Conclusions Through the developed activities, it was observed
that the strategy utilization of art as a language had better effiency
than a formal approach since the children and adolescents could
have a learning space in a spontaneous way, demonstrating inter-
est.

neurocognitive functioning and
metabolic syndrome (MetS)
parameters and the interaction effect
of cognitive insight in non-psychiatric
individuals

Introduction Metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters are: ele-
vated waist circumference (WC), triglycerides (TG), fasting glucose
(FBG) and blood pressure (BP) and reduced high-density lipopro-
tein cholesterol (HDL). MetS parameters are associated with poor
cognition and this association should be studied in the context of
other factors. In particular, factors that are involved in maintaining
poor lifestyle choices – MetS is largely a lifestyle illness. One factor
important to consider is cognitive insight – an individual’s ability
to be flexible in how you think about yourself and others and to
question your own thoughts.
Objectives To conduct an exploratory cross-sectional study
investigating the influence of cognitive insight on the relation-
ship between MetS parameters and cognition in non-psychiatric
individuals.
Aims To explore the nature of the relationship between cognition
andMetS parameters and test whether cognitive insight moderates
the association.
Methods Our sample consisted of n = 156 participants with
mixed-ancestry. Correlations between MetS parameters and cog-
nition were tested. ANOVA was used to test interaction effects and
logistic regressionwas done to test the predictive power of selected
factors.
Results BP correlated with attention, delayed memory, and
RBANS total scale score. The BCIS self-certainty subscalemoderated
the relationship between BP and immediatememory and attention.
Age and BCIS self-certainty were the only predictors of elevated BP.
