state-trait anxiety inventory were passed for the assessment of

depression and anxiety.

Results

Among the 50 students questioned, 68% met the crite-

ria of binge viewers and 64.7% of them adopted this behaviour at

least once a week with an overall average of screen exposure of

3.8 hours in one sitting. Before the binge watching, 35.3% reported

excitement and 29.4% boredomand have used itmostly to pass time

(47.1%) and for fun (44.1%). Participants have felt more relaxed and

happier after the viewing. Mild depression was found in 10 cases

and moderate depression in 5 cases. Anxiety scores averaged 35.38

for state anxiety and 40.32 for trait anxiety. An inverse relation-

ship was found between depression and anxiety scores and the

frequency of the binge watching and its exposure duration. The

correlation was hover non significant.

Conclusions

Could it be that the binge watching is a means of

fighting against anxiety and depression rather than an evidence of

emotional difficulties? Further studies are needed.

Introduction

Drawing tests provide good opportunity to research

potential risks in emotional and personal development of a child

with speech disorder, because drawing tests almost do not involve

speech.

Aims and objects

The research was aimed at detecting poten-

tial risks in emotional and personal development of children with

speech disorders. The study involved 28 children (15 girls and 13

boys) with moderate speech disorders and 30 normally developing

children. All the children attended kindergarten and were of age

5.5 years at the moment of the research.

Methods

The following methods were used: non-participant and

participant observation, expert assessment, structured interview

with educators, individually conducted family drawing test.

Results

Most children (86%) expressed willingness to perform a

task, in some cases (14%) children failed to perform a task because

of emotional numbing. The children’s perception of a specialist

was marked by increased anxiety and stress, in some cases it was

expressed in a drawing by filled areas (38%) or by barely visible fig-

ures (62%). Most children (87%) tried to demonstrate their abilities

and were diligent, but their drawings were generally poorer than

that of normally developing children. This phenomenon reflects

deficit of skills, imagination deficit and low level of aspiration. Qual-

ity of drawings and their visible from differ from the drawings of

normally developing children that indicates low self-esteem and

feeling of personal incapacity formed by speech disorder.

Conclusion

Increased anxiety, constriction and imagination

deficit characterize children with speech disorders. Their emo-

tional attitude to speech behavior influences their graphical

self-fulfilment.

Introduction

Homelessness is a phenomenon, which is hard to

limit, as it contemplates different situations including roofless and

squatters.

Objective

To determine the presence of these homeless cate-

gories in the city of Girona and examine the prevalence of diagnosed

mental pathology and its principal socio-demographic characteris-

tics.

Methods

Transversal, observational and analytic study of the

population of roofless people and squatters. The registers of the out-

reach street work team, the local police and the public shelter were

used in order to detect the cases and their basic socio-demographic

characteristics. The clinical record of the mental health and addic-

tion public network was accessed to determine their diagnosis.

Results

During the 6 years of registers, 781 cases of people in

situation of roofless and squatters were detected. In total, 83.2%

(

n

= 630) of the cases were men and 16.8% (

n

= 131) women.

The average age was 44.8 (ED = 11.2) and no differences were

found regarding gender (Men = 45.3, ED = 11.0 vs. Women = 42.9,

ED

= 12.2;

t

= 1.7, df = 405,

P

= 09). However differences were

found regarding origin (Immigrants = 42.2 years, ED = 10.3 vs.

Natives = 46.8 years, ED = 11.4;

t

= -4.2, df = 402,

P <

.001). A total of,

52.9% of the cases (

n

= 412) displayed diagnosed mental pathology

and 15.8 (

n

= 123), dual pathology.

Conclusion

Mental pathology is more prevalent among this

typology of homeless people than in general population, as other

studies prove.

Introduction

There exists a great number of empirical studies

which refer as causes of homelessness not only individual factors

such as mental disorders or addictions, but also structural factors

such as poverty rates or unemployment.

Objective

To describe the evolution of the prevalence of home-

lessness in Girona from 2006 to 2015, and compare it with the

evolution of unemployment in the same region.

Methods

The absolute number of homelessness is obtained from

the official records in the city of Girona, which include the data

of the open medium intervention team, the local police, and the

specific municipal hostel. The rates are calculated on the annual

totals of population. Correlations are used to compare quantitative

variables.

Results

The yearly homelessness rates increased progressively

from 2006 to 2014, the year in which they began to decrease. Sim-

ilarly, unemployment both in Spain and in the city of Girona in

particular evolves in a similar way, with the burden of the world-
