Introduction

Burn out mainly occurs among healthcare

employees. This professional category is exposed to a large

load of emotional disturbance.

Objectives

The aimof this workwas to study the levels of burnout

syndrome in caregivers who were victims to occupational accident.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted during 2014-

2015 in the occupational medicine department. The target

population consisted of the healthcare employees who reported

their exposure to occupational accident. A semi-structured self-

reported questionnaire including the Maslach questionnaire was

used to collect information. Data were analyzed using SPSS-20.

Results

One hundred and sixty health professionals returned the

questionnaire (58% women, mean age 31.9 years old). Occupa-

tional accidents occurred mostly in the morning (62.5%). Among

the healthcare providers, 112 health professionals (70%) had had

sharp injuries. Burn out was found among 23.1% of the studied

population. It was defined by its three domains: a high emotio-

nal exhaustion (46.9%), high depersonalization with low personal

accomplishment (36.3%) and high depersonalization without low

personal accomplishment (34.4%). Professionals with less years

in the function (

P

= 0.031) and technicians (

P

= 0.028) were more

affected by Burnout. A significant relationship was found between

traumatic accidents (

P

= 0.012), needle stick injuries (

P

= 0.009) and

burnout.

Conclusion

The prevalence of burnout is high among health pro-

fessionals which can increase the risk of occupational accidents and

its subsequent risks. It seems that holding workshops and increa-

sing healthcare givers’ awareness and skills to face these risks can

be effective in mitigating them.

Introduction

Major depression cognitive impairments lasts in

remission periods, have an impact on treatment outcome and

hamper psychosocial functioning. Thus, its accurate detection and

specific treatment has become a crucial step.

Objectives

In order to assess objective cognitive functioning

(OCF), a neuropsychological battery was administered. For sub-

jective cognitive functioning (SCF), cognitive perception was

evaluated by clinicians and patients.

Aims

To determine the concordance between OCF and SCF.

Methods

One hundred and two patients were grouped accor-

ding to Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale (HDRS

17): 18 remitters

(RE < 7), 40 partly remitters (PR, 7–18) and 44 acutely depressed

(AD > 18). OCF was computed combining T-scores of digit symbol

substitution test (WAIS-IV) with two RAVLT subtests (learning and

memory). SCF was assessed with a CGI adaptation for cognitive

disturbances severity.

Results

The OFC was 41.21(8.49) for all patients and 45.54(6.8),

41.93(6.8) and 38.7 (9.7) for RE, PR, and AD, respectively. Psy-

chiatrist and patients’ SCF had a poor agreement ( =0.518), with

Cronbach’s alpha for RE, PR and AD of

0.607, 0.518 and 0.404.

Concordance between OCF and SCF was calculated for all patients

(psychiatrist,

r

=

0.317,

P

= 0.002; patient,

r

=

0.310,

P

= 0.002),

for RE (

r

=

0.535,

P

= 0.022;

r

= 0.395,

P

= 0.105) for PR (

r

=

0.013,

P

= 0.94;

r

=

0.328,

P

= 0.045) and for AD (

r

=

0.252,

P

= 0.122;

r

=

0.333,

P

= 0.033). Patients rated their SFC asmore impaired than

did clinicians.

Conclusions

Concordance between clinicians and patients regar-

ding SCF is very poor, worsening in AD group and being null in

remission. This study also points out that CF is best detected by

patients in acute episodes and by psychiatrists when patients are

in clinical remission.

Introduction

Life functioning difficulties are a relevant but under-

valued consequence of major depression. Mood symptoms and

cognitive deficits have a significant, and somehow independent,

impact on them. Therefore, cognitive difficulties should be consi-

dered a potential target to improve patients’ functioning.

Aims

To examine the degree in which objective and subjective

cognition explain functional outcome.

Objectives

To assess objective cognitive function (CF) with a

neuropsychological battery and to measure subjective CF using

measures of cognitive perception.

Methods

Ninety-nine patients with depression were assessed by

age, sex and level of schooling. Depressive symptoms severity was

measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17). Objec-

tive CF consisted in the following cognitive domains: memory,

attention, executive functioning and processing speed. Subjective

CF was assessed with Perceived Deficit Questionnaire-Depression

(PDQ-D). Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) was used to

evaluate life functioning, excluding the cognitive domain. All the

listed measures were included in a multiple regression analysis

with FAST scores as dependent variable.

Results

The regression model was significant (F

1,98

= 67.484,

P

< 0.001) with an R of 0.825. The variables showing statistical

power included (from higher to lower -coefficient) HDRS-

17 ( = 0.545, t = 8.453,

P

< 0.001), PDQ-D ( = 0.383, t = 6.047,

P

< 0.001) and DSST ( =

0.123, t =

1.998,

P

= 0.049).

Conclusions

The severity of depressive symptoms is the variable

that best explains life functioning. Surprisingly, the second factor

hindering it is the patients’ perception of their cognition. Current

findings highlight the importance of correcting cognitive bias in

order to improve functionality. However, results have to be taken

cautiously as mood symptoms could partly explain the bias.
