Introduction

One hundred and twelve emergency medical staff

are facedwithmany physical andmental problems due to the dete-

rioration of their sleep-wake cycle and getting out of their usual

work and social life.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of

anxiety, depression, day time sleepiness on the quality of life in

112 emergency medical staff.

Methods

Target population of this cross-sectional study was the

112 emergency medical staff in the province of Rize. We tried to

obtain all the universe (

n

= 154), so the sample was not selected.

One hundred and four people (67%) participated in the study. In the

data form, Epworth sleepiness scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck

Depression Inventory and the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire

were applied.

Results

The prevalence of pathological sleepiness was 14.4%

(

n

= 15), the prevalence of anxietywas 39,8% (

n

= 41), the prevalence

depression was 20,2% (

n

= 21), respectively

( Table 1 ).

Conclusion

Based on high levels of anxiety and depression that

reduces quality of life compared to the general population in 112

emergency servicesworkers, motivational programs, coping strate-

gies, psychological counseling services are required. Also, against

the psychosocial risk factors forming anxiety and depression in the

working life, organizational measures must be taken.

Introduction

Body image dissatisfaction is a risk factor for depres-

sion. Research has focused on female adolescents; yet little is

known about sex and age differences.

Objectives/aims

The aim of our study was to evaluate the associ-

ation of body weight dissatisfaction, a component of body image,

with depression overall, and for different sex and age-groups inde-

pendent of body weight.

Methods

We analyzed data of 15,975 individuals from the cross-

sectional 2012 Swiss Health Survey. Participants were asked about

their weight satisfaction. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

was used to ascertain depression. Age was stratified in three

groups (

18-29;

30-59;

60 years). Body mass index (BMI)

was self-reported and categorized into normal weight (BMI: 18.5-

24.9 kg/m

2

), overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9 kg/m

2

), and obesity (BMI:

30 kg/m

2

). The association between weight dissatisfaction and

depression was assessed with logistic regression analyses and

adjusted for known confounders (including BMI).

Results

Weight dissatisfaction was associated with depression in

the overall group (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.66-2.50) and in men (1.85,

1.34-2.56) and women (2.25, 1.71-2.96) separately, independent of

body weight (multivariable adjusted). Stratification by age groups

revealed associations of weight dissatisfaction with depression in

young (1.78, 1.16-2.74), middle-aged (2.1, 1.61-2.74) and old indi-

viduals (2.34, 1.30-4.23) independent of BMI. A sub-analysis in the

overall group revealed statistically significant positive associations

of weight dissatisfaction with depression in underweight, normal

weight, overweight and obese individuals.

Conclusion

Body weight dissatisfaction is associated with

depression inmen, women, young, middle-aged and old individuals

independent of BMI.

Fraction of suicides attributable to

alcohol in Belarus

Introduction

Suicide is one of the main causes of premature mor-

tality in Belarus. There is strong evidence of a crucial role of alcohol

in explanation of high suicide rate in this country.

Objectives

The aim of the present study was to estimate the

suicides mortality attributable to alcohol abuse in Belarus using

aggregate- and individual-level data.

Methods

The alcohol effect will be expressed in terms of alcohol-

attributable fraction (AAF). The results of AAF estimates were

compared with the data on BAC (blood alcohol concentration)-

positive suicides based on the autopsy reports of the Bureau of

Forensic Medicine.

Results

The proportion of BAC-positive suicides and AAF esti-

mates are presented in

Table 1 .

BAC-positive suicides were found

more frequently in men (60.2%) than in women (30.6). Similarly,

the estimates of AAF for males (63.4%) were considerably higher

than the estimates for females (35.2%). We also found that the rela-

tionship between alcohol consumption and suicides was stronger

for male age groups 30-44 and 45-59 years.

Conclusions

The outcome of this study provides support for

the hypothesis that alcohol plays an important role in Belaru-

sian suicide mortality crisis. The fact that the AAF estimated

from aggregate-level data is similar to individual-level estimates

suggests that this method produces reliable estimates of alcohol-

attributable suicides.
