(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.
