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.

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
