25th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 41S (2017) S645–S709

Methods

Thirty-three patients who sought treatment for NSSI

(NSSI group) were compared with 33 individuals without psychi-

atric disorder (control group). We also investigated Axis I disorders,

executive functions and problem solving capacity.

Results

In both groups, the majority were women (77.25%) with

a mean age of 30 years, and the beginning of NSSI behavior of

16 years. The most common NSSI behaviour was skin cutting, and

the most common reason given for engaging in that behaviour

was “to stop negative feelings”. The most common psychiatric

comorbidities were major depressive disorder (60.6%). Compared

to controls, the group with NSSI showed lower results in rela-

tion to problem solving capacity (

P

= 0.000) and mental flexibility

(

P

= 0.007). Deficits in problem solving capacity may be a reflection

of lowmental flexibility of adultswithNSSI. Thismay be a risk factor

for the beginning of NSSI and the persistence of it in adulthood.

Conclusion

Early identification and treatment focused on prob-

lem solving capacity during the adolescence may prevent the

chronicity of NSSI.

Background

Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) suffer from

two to three times higher rates of obesity, and this has translated

into much higher rates of obesity-related morbidity and premature

mortality in this population.

Aims

Measuring the frequency of obesity and its associations

with gender, and others socio-demographics factors among 115

adults psychiatric outpatients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study, was conducted to assess fre-

quency of obesity among 115 adults attending publicmental health

department in the regional hospital of Gabes (south of Tunisia).

For the diagnosis of mental disorders, we used the diagnostic and

statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-V). Obesity was esti-

mated by body mass index (BMI). This index is defined as the ratio

of weight (kg) to squared size (m2). Overweight is defined as a

BMI between 25 and 29.9 kg/m2 and obesity by a BMI

30 kg/m2.

BMI was measured directly and other information was gathered by

interview.

Results

The mean BMI was 25. In our patients, 40.9% were over-

weight, 49.6% (

n

= 57) were obese including 8.7% (

n

= 10) who were

morbidly obese. Obesity was significantly more frequent in women

(63.8% vs 39.7%,

P

= 0.009), living in a couple (60.9% vs 42%,

P

= 0.03)

and having a medium or high socioeconomic level (53.3% vs 30.4%,

P

= 0.03). There were no differences between obese and non-obese

regarding age, level of education and professional status.

Conclusion

The high prevalence of obesity among women sug-

gests that targeted approaches are needed to promote optimal

physical health in this population.

Introduction

Music is claimed to improve mental function and

many researchers claim that this effect related to Mozart’s music is

limited to enhancement of the spatial temporal reasoning and not

to other cognitive functions.

Objectives

To explore the influence of Mozart’s music on visuo-

spatial memory.

Methods

Sixty adults (37women and23men), withM

age

= 21.83,

SD

age

= 2.38, M

education

= 14.03, SD

education

= .99, and without any

formal musical education were examined through an experimental

process. Participants in groups of ten listened to Mozart’s sonata

for two pianos in D major, K.448, to Mozart’s violin concerto No.3

in G major, K.216, and to a no sounds condition in varying order.

The participants after listening to each 10-minute condition were

presented with a series of randomly generated patterns made up of

black squares on a chess-like surface. This was used in order to test

the storage capacity of their visuospatial memory. After 3 seconds

of presentation for each drawing, they were asked to reproduce by

drawing these patterns that progressively got bigger.

Results

Results revealed for all three conditions that the num-

ber of correct grid drawings made by the participants was not

significantly statistically different (

P

> 05), and therefore their vis-

uospatial memory retention was not influenced by any kind of

music.

Conclusions

Future research could examine in more detail the

retention and manipulation of visuospatial information not only in

tasks similar to the visual patterns test, but also in different tests

used for clinical and non-clinical populations.

Introduction

Psychiatric patients tend to have severe metabolic

alterations of multifactorial causes, lifestyle, diet, drug use and

psychopharmacological treatment, especially antipsychotic drugs

which act as risk factors for cardiovascular disease, strokes, infec-

tions and complications of diseases basal negatively influencing its

evolution and prognosis.
