According to the United States department of justice, domestic
violence is defined as “a pattern of abusive behaviours in any rela-
tionship that are used by one partner to gain or maintain power and
control over another intimate partner”. It involves a pattern of coer-
cive behaviour in intimate relationships whereby the behaviour
is controlled through humiliation, intimidation, fear, and often
intentional physical, emotional or sexual injury. Domestic violence
crosses all ethnic, socioeconomic and age groups, and is also preva-
lent in same sex relationships.
Over six million children are severely assaulted by family mem-
bers every year in the United States; a man beats a woman every
twelve seconds; women who leave their batterer are at 75% greater
risk of being killed by their batterer than those who stay; and one
third of police time is spending on answering domestic violence
calls.
In domestic violence situations the intervention is frequently in
crisis, where the victims “fight” for survival, and it is necessary
to give proper answers according to the victim’s needs. The pro-
fessionals that work directly with domestic violence assume that
there is a strong bond connecting the domestic violence with men-
tal health. In the United States 90% of domestic violence survivors
report extreme emotional distress; 47.5% report having been diag-
nosed with post-traumatic stress disorder; 14.7% report anxiety;
20% depression. Mental illnesses are frequently observed in domes-
tic violence survivors.

Background Psychiatric symptoms/disorders in brain diseases
are not specific and may have the same clinical presentations as
functional psychiatric disorders, so they can compromise early
diagnosing of disease.
Objective This paper’s objective is to show (negative) influence
of stigma in a diagnostic process of patients with predominantly
psychiatric symptoms in their clinical pictures.
Materials and methods The subject is a 46 year-old female patient
with no history of psychiatric disease. Her symptoms includes:
confusion, disorientation, perseveration, visual and auditory hal-
lucination, lack of motivation, inability to understand questions,
developed following a 10-day long period of febricity. During the
outpatient care, she has been examined by a neurologist, a spe-
cialist of urgent and internal medicine, and a psychiatrist. As the
CT scan made in that stage was interpreted as normal, the patient
was hospitalised in a psychiatric hospital. She was treated both
with typical and atypical antipsychotics but no therapeutic effects
have been reached. Thinking of organic etiology, advanced diag-
nostics have been made (MR, LP). MR scan showed lesion that is a
characteristic for herpetic meningitis, which is also confirmed with
positive serological tests.
Conclusion In patients with a sudden onset of psychiatric symp-
toms, patients with unexpected changes in mental status or
suddenly developed headaches, as in the therapy- resistant psy-
chiatric disorders, it is important to keep in mind the possibility
of the coexistence of brain disease. Removing the stigma from
psychiatric patients is important in order to be able to give
every patient the chance of getting the correct diagnose on
time.

countries

Introduction Women’s personal and political identities are sig-
nificant in defining their roles and eventual contribution to society
in contemporary society both in the private and public spheres.
Objectives This research study focuses on the effect of Islam on
women’s personal and political identities.
Aims This research aims to highlight the existing ideology relat-
ing to women’s treatment in regards their identities and public
roles, and hence to contribute to women’s emancipation.
Methods This study utilizes quantitative and qualitativemethods
in analysing women in eight Muslim-majority countries, namely,
Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen, Cyprus and
Kuwait, in the Middle East. For the quantitative data, statistical
dataset was culled from Inter-university consortium for political
and social research of the university of Michigan.
Results The overall results show that historical constructions of
gender spheres are still palpable in the Islamic landscape. Woman’s
question is identified as a complex personal and social problem, and
cannot be rejected as a valid search for gender sameness or equal-
ity. This study also shows the interpolation of Islam with other
factors such as patriarchy, modernization, and state formations.
Some Muslim scholars argue that Quran’s fundamental mooring is
geared towards equality between men and women, and women’s
enhanced status, and it is patriarchy that has confined women to
the domestic sphere.
Conclusion Gender is embedded within culture, and structures of
power in families, communities, and states, which have gender in
itself, as an organizing principle.

Introduction The concept of Bourdieu’s habitus effects nurses’
approach to patients. Habitus is the site of nurses’ internalizations
of the rules in the field of care work, where nurses acquire emo-
tional habitus that corresponds to ethical values and feeling rules
of care work. If nurses do not manage their emotions in accordance
with themoral disposition, social sufferingwill be occur. Determin-
ing social suffering helps to understand how a tension between
the field of care work and emotional habitus can violate nurses’
well-being and cause burnout.
Objectives To determine the emotional habitus of nurses’ with
the high level of burnout.
