24th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 33S (2016) S116–S348

Methods

We enrolled 159 patients with a BMI > 35 Kg/m

2

and

obesity-related comorbidities (females = 71.3%; age range = 18-35

years) at the C.A.S.C.O. (EASO COMs) of our University Hospital.

They filled out the Binge Eating Scale (BES), the SymptomChecklist-

90-R (SCL-90-R), and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36).

We used Tukey’s multiple comparison test to assess Quality of Life

(QoL) improvement after TPE and multivariate logistic regression

to estimate the size of the association between TPE and the afore-

mentioned factors.

Results

The SF-36 showed a significant improvement (

P

< 0.05)

of physical and mental QoL post-TPE, especially in obese patients

without binge eating disorder. The same applied to BES and SCL-90-

R scores. The factors predicting TPE success were a short duration

of obesity, a limited number of past diets, and low levels of anxi-

ety/depression pre-TPE.

Conclusions

In obese patients candidates for bariatric surgery,

TPE is useful to improve physical and mental QoL, eating behav-

ior, and psychological status. Several factors are predictive of TPE

success, allowing a personalization of the intervention to render it

more effective.

Introduction

The Family Assessment Device (FAD) is a self-report

questionnaire, developed to assess the six dimensions of the

McMaster Model of family functioning. It has been translated to

the Greek language but never validated.

Aims and objectives

To evaluate the psychometric properties of

the Greek version of FAD in a non-clinical sample.

Methods

In a sample of Greek families, FAD was administered

together with the already validated Family Adaptability and Cohe-

sion Evaluation Scale (FACES-III). In a subsample of 96 participants,

the scales were administered again after 1 month.

Results

A sample of 453 participants (194 children and 259 par-

ents) had completed both questionnaires (151 families). Mean age

of children was 23.62 (SD: 6.35), 68 (35%) were males. Mean age

of parents was 51.4 (SD: 8.2), 117 (45.2%) males. All subscales of

FAD had significant correlation (concurrent validity) with FACES-

III (

n

= 453,

P

< 0.001). Test-retest reliability range from 0.58 to 0.82

(

n

= 96,

P

< 0.001). Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) range

from 0.47 to 0.94. A model with the 6 factors had a good statis-

tical fit but not all the items were loading in the same components

as from the theory assumed.

Conclusions

The Greek FAD has good psychometric properties,

although its factor structure might differ from the original version.

Further evaluation of the Greek version of FAD in other settings

and in different samples especially clinical remains a task for future

research.

Objectives

The Bipolar Depression Rating Scale (BDRS) is a scale

for assessment of the clinical characteristics of bipolar depression.

The primary aims of this study were to describe the development

of the Korean version of the BDRS (K-BDRS) and to establish more

firmly its psychometric properties in terms of reliability and valid-

ity.

Methods

The study included 141 patients (62 male and 79

female) who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, were cur-

rently experiencing symptoms of depression, andwere interviewed

using the K-BDRS. Other measures included the Montgomery and

Asberg Depression Scale (MADRS), the 17-item Hamilton Depres-

sion Scale (HAMD), and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS).

Additionally, the internal consistency, concurrent validity, inter-

rater reliability, and test-retest reliability of the K-BDRS were

evaluated.

Results

The Cronbach’s -coefficient for the K-BDRS was 0.866,

the K-BDRS exhibited strong correlations with the HAMD

(

r

= 0.788) and MADRS (

r

= 0.877), and the mixed symptoms

score of the K-BDRS was significantly correlated with the YMRS

(

r

= 0.611). An exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors

that corresponded to psychological depressive symptoms, somatic

depressive symptoms, and mixed symptoms.

Conclusions

The present findings suggest that the K-BDRS has

good psychometric properties and is a valid and reliable tool for

assessing depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder.
