Young people with Asperger’s syndrome and/or ADHD face major
challenges in their lives affecting their quality of life and general
well-being.
The aim of this study was to investigate factors that associate with
positive mental health (flourishing) among young adults with neu-
ropsychiatric disorders.
The sample consisted of 188 young adults with diagnosis of
Asperger’s syndrome (AS) (F84.5) and/or ADHD/ADD (F90). They
participated in the one-year “My Way” rehabilitation programme
organized and funded by the social insurance institution of Finland.
Baseline questionnaires included measures on positive mental
health (SWEMWBS), provisions of social relationships (SPS), social
competence (MASC) and questions about functional capacity and
leisure time activities. Information on diagnosis was received from
doctors’ statements.
Of the study participants, 35% had a comorbid mood, anxiety
or stress-related disorder (F30-F40). Among those, 14% had low,
79% moderate and 7% high positive mental health (flourishing).
Higher rate of physical activity was associated with flourishing.
Furthermore, flourishing was associated with high level of pro-
visions of social relationships, social competence as well as good
general functional capacity. No associationwas foundwith engage-
ment in employment or education, or having the diagnosis of AS,
ADHD/ADD or a comorbid psychiatric disorder (F30–F40).
People with psychiatric disorders experience high positive mental
health, too. Social relations, social competence and general func-
tional capacity play an important role inmentalwell-being of young
adults with neuropsychiatric disorders. Supporting themmay help
in reaching also other goals set for the rehabilitation, such as capac-
ity to work or study.

Resilience, pain and quality of life in
people with physical disabilities: A
systematic review
P. Aranguren (Student)

Spain
Introduction More than a thousand million people live with a
certain type of disability over the world (more than a 15% of the
population worldwide). In Spain, 2.5 millions of people suffer from
a physical disability. Disability can be understood as an interaction
of the individual’s health condition (disease, illness. . . ) and his/her
environmental and personal factors. Resilience could be included
as a powerful personal factor, which would play a major role in the
individual’s quality of life. Resilience can be defined as a universal
basic capacity to prevent, minimize or overcome life’s adversities,
even reaching a change in the life of the individual.
Aim To determine the association among resilience, pain and
quality of life in people with physical disabilities.
Materials and methods An electronic search of several databases
(Psycinfo, Medline, Pubmed. . . ) was performed using the terms
resilience, physical disability, and physical illness among others.
Results – Pain and resilience show an important relationship.
Factors as acceptance, pain beliefs and self-efficacy are directly
related with a lower pain interference.
– Resilience and quality of life show a strong positive relationship.
Conclusion Several factors are related to resilience in people with
physical disabilities. Resilience seems to be an important capacity
that helps individual with physical disabilities overcome adversi-
ties. Further analyses are required.

Within the mental health promotion field, communitarian and
group-based interventions are significant and viable approaches.
One of the features of group studies is the therapeutic group
handling, provided by the group therapist, which influences the
therapeutic potential and development of the group. The commu-
nitarianMental HealthGroup (CMHG) is an innovative intervention
for promoting mental health, developed and researched for
18 years, in Brazil. The activity’s goal is to promote the attitudes
of attention and understanding over day-by-day experiences, as
resources of mental health promotion. This research goal was to
investigate and understand the therapeutic group handling pro-
vided by the CMHG’s therapist and its connections to this specific
group’s characteristics. The corpus was built by the transcriptions
of six groups. To each group session, all the therapist’s interventions
were analyzed in the context in which they happened. Later, those
sessions were horizontally analyzed, as a mean to identify com-
mon aspects of the CMHG’s therapeutic handling, which resulted
in the elaboration of three main categories: framing–includes
interventions which the therapist organizes the setting; providing
keys–includes interventions which the therapist provides key con-
cepts and encourages the participants to adopt certain attitudes,
so that they can understand and interact with the assignment;
Understanding the gesture–includes the interventions which the
therapist stresses the gestures underlying the participant’s com-
munication. This research pointed that the therapeutic handling of
CMHG is different from traditional models, and that it is related to
its theoretical and methodological approach.

In Brazil, the mental health field has been the scenario of many
transformations, among them, the recognition of community and
group-based interventions as significant approaches concerning
mental health promotion. These approaches regard the interper-
sonal relationships as a resource to individual’s mental health care
and the construction of a helping network. This study aimed to
present and describe the Communitarian Mental Health Group
(CMHG), an innovative interventiondeveloped and studied inBrazil
for 18 years. To accomplish that, a study of previous researches
about this intervention was conducted, including the analysis of
a book published in 2014. The activity goal is to promote men-
tal health through the attitudes of paying attention, understanding
