25th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 41S (2017) S710–S771

Results

Prevalence rate of probable PTSD screened by the PCL-

5 was 2.7%. Further investigation showed that depressive, anxiety

and somatic symptoms among them was 21.6%, 8.7% and 21.7%

respectively.

Conclusion

Appreciable positive relationship was found

(

r

= 0.65–0.70;

P

< 0.001) between these variables in the deployed

military servants. Therefore, it is recommended that military

servants should be screened on all above mentioned conditions

along with PTSD, in order to see full picture of co-morbid problems.

Background

The following study shows that PTSD, depression

and anxiety present actual and urgent problem in military field.

These disorders appear to be highly co-morbid that results in much

more complicated treatment process and outcome. Service mem-

bers of Georgian armed forces participate in various international

peacekeeping operations on the regular basis, though there are no

researches conducted so far to provide evidence for mental health

problem prevalence in Georgian deployed military personnel.

Method

Collection of the data took place during the period of

2014–2015 years after six months of service members returning

from the international peacekeeping mission back to their homes.

The sample for this research were represented by 2799 service-

men who actively engaged in ISAF peacekeeping missions. All of

them were male, with average age: M= 29.3 (SD = 6.3). The data

for the following research were collected using self-administered

assessment measures, namely PCL-5 for PTSD screening and PHQ

for depression and Anxiety and somatic complaints assessment.

Results

PTSD appeared to be significantly predicted by

range/level of anxiety and depression symptom urgency, never-

theless after joint/combine integration of these variables in one

regressional equation, just symptoms of depression remained

as statistically reliable explanatory factor for the significant

percentage of the somatic symptom range variation.

Conclusion

It would be wise to recommend mental health care

specialists particularly to bear inmind the possibility of co-existing

depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with PTSD.

Introduction

While research on religious beliefs as an adjustment

is on the rise, less is known regarding such process following still-

birth and no study has been conducted on a sample of Moroccan

women.

Objectives

The aim of the present study is to extend the current

literature by:

– identifying a typology of Moroccanwomenwho experienced still-

birth based on several dimension of religious coping strategies;

– examining whether these profile differ on grief, anxiety, post-

traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG)

symptoms.

Methods

One hundred Moroccan women who experienced still-

birth were recruited through a Moroccan public hospital. At 6

weeks following stillbirth, they completed questionnaires assess-

ing Religious Coping Strategies (RCS), PTSD, PTG, anxious and grief

symptoms.

Results

Five clusters were identified: one with high level of plead

and religious avoidance coping strategies, one with high level of

interpersonal coping strategies, one with multiple religious coping

strategies, one with discontent religious coping strategies and one

with low religious coping strategies. High levels of psychological

symptoms were found in the 5 cluster and PTG symptomatology

was as associated with increased RCS.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that, while religious beliefs and

practices as a coping strategy do not protect from short-term

psychopathological symptoms in the immediate aftermath of still-

birth, they play an important role in the development of positive

reactions. As PTG symptoms have been reported be a protective fac-

tor for long term psychiatric symptomatology further longitudinal

studies focusing in this area is warranted.

Introduction

Psychotraumatism can constitute for some people a

real existential fracture, a real upheaval of the psychic organization.

Immediate psychological reactions can vary from one-off and

temporary reactions to far more severe and sometimes enduring

reactions.

Material and methods

We collected the case of a patient who was

hospitalised in April 2015 for manic symptoms in the immediate

aftermath of a terrorist attack, with a review of the literature.

Clinical case

This is Mr. A. F., aged 38, with a personal history

of AVP and a shooting wound following a terrorist attack. He had

presented a psychomotor instability and an exaltation of the mood

in the immediate aftermath of an ambush.

Behavioural problems were identified by the psychiatric team dur-

ing the group debriefing conducted at the HMPIT emergency room.

During his hospitalisation, a chemotherapy based on thymoregu-

lators, neuroleptics and anxiolytics was introduced.

The evolution was marked by a significant regression of the manic

syndrome after ten days, and the installation of a post-traumatic

stress condition (PTSD). At the end of eight months, the patient was

able to resume his work with long-term thymoregulatory treat-

ment, a ban on weapons and safety posts.

Conclusion

Manic episodes are rarely observed as an immediate

post-traumatic reaction. Their occurrence does not prevent the sub-

sequent installation of PTSD. Has psychic trauma revealed a latent

psychosis? Is it a trauma-induced mood disorder?
