24th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 33S (2016) S116–S348 S127
(Mood Disorder Questionnaire) and BSDS (Bipolar spectrum Diag-
nostic Scale) were used. The criteria for inclusion were informed
consent and cooperation for the study, lack of cognitive and mental
disorders and being literate.
Results In 84 (12.1%) and 145 (20.8%) patients, respectively BSDS
and MDQ questionnaire results were positive. In 75% of patients,
the results of both tests were negative, while in 9.7% of hospital-
ized patients, the results of both tests were positive. The frequency
of bipolar mood disorders was not significantly different between
male and female, but the frequency of bipolar disorders was sig-
nificantly higher in singles, smokers, alcohol abusers, younger age
and lower education level. The highest rate of bipolar disorders was
reported in the orthopaedic ward.
Conclusion The prevalence of bipolar mood disorders in hospi-
talized medically ill patients is significant, due to the impact of the
disorder on the lifestyle, compliance and the prognosis, identifica-
tion and treatment of bipolar mood disorders is important in these
patients.

Background The SIMPLe project was designed with the aim of
developing a smartphone application (i.e. app) to monitor and
psychoeducate subjects with bipolar disorder through highly per-
sonalized messages from both passive and active data. The project
was based on a face-to-face group program, whichhas an increasing
scientific evidence of its efficacy and cost-effectiveness reducing
bipolar disorder relapses.
Aims An initial feasibility study was conducted to evaluate the
usability and satisfaction of an Android version of the SIMPLe app
1.0.
Methods The SIMPLe feasibility studywas conducted fromMarch
2015 to June 2015. The participation in the study was offered to a
consecutive sample of adult patients diagnosedof bipolar disorder I,
II or NOS (not otherwise specified) attending the outpatient mental
health clinic of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain.
Results The participation in the study was offered to 72 stable
bipolar patients. Forty-three subjects were enrolled in the study.
Since the day the patients were enrolled in the study, the rate of
completed tests was 0.74 per day and 1.13 per week. Nine emer-
gency alerts were received through the application and notified to
the reference patients’ psychiatrists. Ninety-five percent of the ini-
tial participants remained actively using the app and no relapses
were identified during the 3 months of the study.
Conclusion These preliminary results suggest a high feasibility of
the SIMPLE app based on the rates of tasks completed and retention.

Introduction Most of the studies have indicated that there have
been neurocognitive impairments especially in the domains of
executive functions, attention, verbal and working memory among
euthymic patients with bipolar disorder type I (BD-I). However,
there has been limited research investigating neurocognitive func-
tioning in euthymic patients with BD- II.
Objectives/aims Aim of this study was to investigate neurocog-
nitive functions in euthymic BD-II patients. Our hypothesis was
that euthymic BD-II patients would have neurocognitive impair-
ments in the domains of executive functions, attention, verbal and
working memory.
Methods Euthymic BD-II patients (n = 37) and healthy controls
(HC) (n = 35) were compared in terms of their neurocognitive
functioning in the domains of executive functions assesed by
the number of perseverative errors, non-perseverative errors and
category completed on the Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST);
working memory assessed by Auditory Consonant Trigrams (ACT);
immediate verbal memory assessed by the Logical Memory sub-
scale of theWechslerMemory Scale I (WMS I) and attention assesed
by Stroop Colour-Word Interference Test (SCWIT). Euthymic state
was confirmed by the low scores both on Hamilton Depression
Rating Scale, Young Mania Rating Scale.
Results Significant differences were found between two groups
in terms of WCST non-perseverative errors (Z = 3.8, P < 0.01)
and category completed subtests (Z = 3.8, P < 0.01), ACT (t = 2.97,
P < 0.01) WMSI (Z = 2.4, P = 0.01), SCWIT (t = 3.52, P< 0.01) perform-
ances.
Conclusions Our study indicated that euthymic BD-II patients had
poorer performance on the domains of executive functions, atten-
tion, working memory and verbal memory than the HC group. But
future studies with large samples are needed to support our results.

Introduction Smoking is a serious health problem for people with
mental illness and especially for bipolar disorder patients (Rüther
et al., 2014). It is necessary to explore the possibilities of brief inter-
vention in the context of community care that may act on the level
of motivation for change.
Objectives Assess the effectiveness of the 3 A’s intervention (Ask,
Advise and Assess) in a sample of euthymic bipolar patients after
12months.
