From the analysis of current scientific literature are still few studies

on the relationship between personality disorders and borderline

intellectual functioning, since the latter, without its own speci-

ficity, has always been considered as a kind of undefined zone

between intellectual functioning medium and intellectual disabili-

ties. Several studies have shown the presence of comorbidity of the

personality disorders with BIF, emphasizing a higher frequency of

Borderline Personality Disorder. BIF is considered a significant risk

factor for the development of a broad spectrumof neuropsychiatric

disorders, in particular in our observations ongoing since 2003, it

assumes an important weight on the global functioning of patients

with personality disorder as we have stated in the intervention

SOPSI 2012. Indetail, this study focuses on the relationship between

BPD and BIF, noting the weight the latter on the social adaptability,

job placement and creation of bonds of individuals with Border-

line Personality Disorder. Patients included in this study were 52

(40 F and 12M), of which 27 belonging to the first group had a bor-

derline intellectual functioning in comorbidity with BPD and 25

individuals belonging to the second group with BPD without BIF.

The results show that 33% of individuals included in the first group

did not find a job working compared to 16% of the second group,

showing further falls in attention and concentration, therefore, in

the ability to anticipate and generalization, impacting strongly on

the degree of adaptation to social life, while there are not signifi-

cant differences in the ability to create emotional ties between the

two groups.

Family burden and quality of life of

mothers of children and adolescents

with mental retardation or borderline

mental capacity

Introduction

Studies have found that the cognitive function levels

of intellectually challenged children add a burden to the family and

affect quality of life.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine the fam-

ily burden felt by mothers of children, ages 6–16, whose mental

capacity evaluation indicates an IQof 35–79 to explore themother’s

quality of life and discover the factors that yield an impact in this

context.

Aims

The main objective of this study therefore was to ascertain

the family burden and quality of life experienced by the parents of

children with mentally retarded or borderline mental capacity.

Methods

The WISC-R test was used in the research to determine

the intellectual capacity of children, 6–16 years of age. The sample

comprised 131 children and adolescents between the ages 6–16

with IQs in the interval of 35–79 and their mothers. The parents

accompanying their children were assessed using the Family Bur-

den Assessment Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of

Life instrument and a sociodemographic questionnaire that was

filled out during face-to-face interviews.

Results

The quality of life of the mothers was found to be aver-

age. At the same time, as the IQ level of the children went up, the

less the mothers felt they were under a family burden. It was seen

that the mothers experienced the most difficulty in the domains of

“perception of inadequacy” and “emotional burden.”

Conclusion

Mothers with intellectually disabled children need

psychosocial support. Providing all members of the family with

counseling services to help them cope with the issues and respon-

sibilities involved in the care of disabled children may make a

significant difference in quality of life.

Introduction

Low-income countries have a critical shortage of

health professionals. In countries such as Pakistan, Community

Health Workers (CHWs) can play an important role in improv-

ing access to healthcare services and hence improve health

outcomes.

Aims

To explore the efficacy of a training program; Learning

Through Play Plus, a combination of Learning Through Play (LTP)

and Thinking Healthy Program (THP) on knowledge and attitudes

of CHW’s regarding child development, maternal depression and

cognitive behaviour.

Objectives

To use focus groups and the training programmes to

increase the knowledge of CHWs method: a qualitative approach

was used to explore experiences of CHWs who delivered the inter-

vention. Three-day training was provided to 216 CHWs on LTP

and THP. Trained facilitators conducted focus groups before and
