Background

Internet use has affected the pattern of working style

at the workplace. Recent years have seen an increased use of online

activities (especially pornography/gaming) at the workplace. It has

been shown to affect productivity at the workplace. There is a

dearth of literature from the Indian context in this area.

Aim

This study was conducted to explore the pattern of pornog-

raphy use& gaming at the workplace and its dysfunctions. Setting

and design: The present study was a cross-sectional prospective

study

Materials and methods

The objective of the study was to assess

the pattern of pornography use at the workplace. Five hundred

employees having experience of Internet use for more than a year

of various government/private sector organizations in Bengaluru

were assessed using background data sheet, DSM V criteria, Inter-

net addiction test & pornography addiction screening instrument.

Users who were unwilling to participate were excluded from the

study.

Results

Seven to nine percent reported preference for Internet to

work, meals, personal hygiene, sleep, and interaction with family

members and effects on productivity. Three to four percent have

excessive use of pornography & game.

Conclusions

The present study has implications for evolving

psychoeducational modules for the promotion of healthy use of

Introduction

The epidemiology of the association between men-

tal disorders and medical illnesses is the subject of many research

studies, mainly due to the worse prognosis associated with this

comorbidity.

Objectives

To investigate the psychiatric morbidity associated

with somatic diseases in liaison psychiatry outpatients and to iden-

tify factors associated with this morbidity.

Methods

A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was

conducted. It took place at the psychiatry outpatient unit at CHU

Hedi Chaker of Sfax in Tunisia. We collected 110 files of patients

having a medical and/or surgical condition, addressed for the first

time in 2014, as part of liaison psychiatry.

Results

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and adjustment dis-

order (AD) with anxious and/or depressive mood were the most

common diagnoses in liaison psychiatry (respectively 53 cases and

28 cases).

MDD has been diagnosedmainly during the course of three somatic

illnesses: cancer, sciatica and hypertension, with respective rates

of 90%, 85.7% and 60%.

The onset of a MDD during the evolution of a somatic disease was

significantly more common in female patients (

P

= 0.04) and those

living in couple family (P = 0.005).

Conclusion

Among all psychiatric disorders, depression and AD

were the most frequently associated disorders with somatic dis-

eases. This comorbidity may be explained by the physiological and

psychological impact of certain somatic diseases, the iatrogenic

effect of certain treatments, or the involvement of a biological,

psychological or environmental common factor for both conditions.

Introduction

Psychiatrists used to focus on some chronic ill-

ness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However,

non–psychiatric chronic illness also need psychiatric follow-up.

Indeed, the reciprocal impact of chronic illness and depression is

becoming increasingly clear. There is evidence that living with a

chronic illness can increase the risk for depression and that depres-

sion can impair the quality of life (QoL).

Objectives

We aim to assess the prevalence of depression in a

chronic disease such as hemophilia and to evaluate the patients’

QoL.

Methods

Thirty-seven adults from the hemophilia treatment

center were screened for depression using the Hamilton Scale for

Depression. QoL was assessed using the norm based scores of the

SF-36. When the group’s score was below 47, the quality of life was

below the average.

Results

The average age of our population was 26.5 years. 46%

were married, 27% achieved a superior level of education and

30% were jobless. Good social and professional integration were

reported in 70% and 76% respectively. 77% of our sample had

depressive symptoms which were mild (30%), moderate (24%) or

severe (13%). The physical and mental Component Scores (PCS and

MCS) of the SF-36 scored 46.48 and 43.45 respectively. PCS andMCS

were significantly lower in patients with depressive symptoms

(

P

= 0.002/

P

= 0.048). However, depressive symptoms and SF-36

scores did not differ according to education level, marital and pro-

fessional status.

Conclusions

Psychiatrists should be aware of the psychological

impact of general chronic illness. Psychiatric consultations must

be implemented in every general hospital.
