(ST) of ex-POWs’ wives. However, a question remains regarding the

possible SI among ex-POWs’ wives.

Objectives

Understanding of SI phenomena among wives of

severely traumatized ex-POWs in a longitudinal dyadic designed

study.

Aims

Assessment of SI among ex-POWs’ wives and the longitu-

dinal associations with their husbands’ PTSD. We also aim to assess

the moderating role of the couple’s dyadic adjustment in these

associations.

Method

A sample of 233 Israeli couples (142 ex-POWs couples

and a comparison group of 91 veteran couples) completed self-

report measures at two time points: T1 30 (2003-4) and T2 37

(2010) years after the ‘Yom Kipur’ 1973 war.

Results

Surprisingly, no significant differences were found

between ex-POWs wives and veterans’ wives, with and without

husbands’ PTSD, in SI at T1 and T2. Only among ex-POW couples,

an increase in the husband’s level of PTSD and SI was related to a

moremoderate increase in their wives’ SI between T1 and T2. Inter-

estingly, the more a wife reported positive dyadic adjustment, the

more moderate the increase in her SI between T1 to T2, regardless

of the study group.

Conclusions

Suicidal ideation among ex-POWs’ wives is closely

related to their husbands’ PTSD and is moderated by their percep-

tion of marital adjustment.

Introduction

Mental illness stigma existed long before psychi-

atry, although sometimes the institution of psychiatry has not

helped enough in reducing either stereotyping or discrimina-

tory practices. Stigma of mental illness involves problems with

knowledge, attitudes, and behavior and has important negative

consequences for patients and their families. As new technologies

become more reliable and accessible, mental health specialists are

developing new and innovative methods through which they may

provide services. Internet has an important role in the delivery of

information because of its ability to reach a large number of people

in a cost-effective manner.

Objectives

In order to reduce stigma an online platform with

relevant information about schizophrenia was developed. Simul-

taneously a social media campaign to increase awareness was

launched.

Methods

A multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, web-

developers, IT specialists and designers developed the platform

www.schizophrenia.ro

. The platform is intended to be simple

and with a great visual impact and it gathers general information

about schizophrenia. The social media campaign used emotional

messages like “Diagnosis is not the end of the road” or “I’m a

person not a diagnosis” combined with high impact images.

Results

From 1st January to end of September 2015 the platform

had about 22,500 users and about 70,500 page views. The social

media campaign had a reach of approximately 9700 people in just

2 months.

Conclusions

The WorldWide Web is increasingly recognized as a

powerful tool for prevention and intervention programs and could

also play an important role in destigmatization campaigns.

Introduction

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is the first-line

psychological treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

However, most individuals suffering from OCD do not receive

CBT. An innovative approach to improve access to evidence-based

care is the use of the Internet to deliver effective treatments.

Therapist-guided Internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy

(iCBT) involves the administration of structured online lessons

that provide the same information and skills typically taught in

clinician-administered CBT, often with email support from a ther-

apist. Accumulating evidence on iCBT for OCD has been produced,

but a meta-analysis has not been conducted.

Objectives

Through meta-analytic methods, the present study

summarized evidence on iCBT for OCD.

Aims

Efficacy onOCD symptoms and comorbiddepression versus

control conditions at post-treatment and follow-up was evaluated.

Methods

A PRISMAmeta-analysis was performed on randomized

controlled trials. Treatments were classified as iCBT if they included

CBT components for OCD (eg, exposure and response prevention)

delivered through the Internet with or without email/phone sup-

port from a therapist.

Results

Four trials were included (

n

= 238), which were classified

at low bias risk. At post-treatment iCBT outperformed control con-

ditions with a high effect size on OCD symptoms (

d

= 0.85,

P

<.05)

and a medium on comorbid depression (

d

= 0.52,

P

<.05). Treatment

effects were stable at 4-month follow-up with a high effect size

on OCD (

d

= 1.45,

P

<.05), but not on comorbid depression (

d

= 0.33,

P

<.05).

Conclusions

iCBT seems a promising treatment modality for OCD.

Further trials should assess log-term outcomes and effects on qual-

ity of life.
