intact or good insight may be an indicator for suicidal ideation

among patients with bipolar disorders. A brief psychoeducational

approach could potentially be effective. We recommend a com-

bined approach to Improve clinical insight in bipolar disorder.

Introduction

Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to

process, understand and manage emotions. In bipolar disorder

seem to be more conserved, with less functional impairment than

other severe mental disorders as schizophrenia. So far, there are

few studies analyzing emotional intelligence in bipolar disorder.

Objective

The objective of this research is to better understand

the different characteristics and the factors affecting these social-

cognitive dysfunctions in bipolar disorder.

Aims

To explore possible factors related to emotional intel-

ligence in these severe mental disorders: symptoms, cognitive

functioning, quality of life and psychosocial function.

Material and methods

Twenty-six adults bipolar type I patients

were examinedusingMSCEIT (themost validated test for emotional

intelligence), BPRS, YMRS, HDRS, WAIS-IV, TMT and Rey Figure in

order to determine the level of emotional intelligence and factors

relate.

Results

Bipolar patients show lack of emotional intelligence

when compared with general population. Cognitive impairment

and age are the principal factors related.

Discussion

Results are discussed and compared with recent lit-

erature.

Introduction

Severe mental disorders have deficits in different

aspects of social cognition, which seem to be more pronounced

in patients with schizophrenia compared to those with bipolar

disorder. Emotional intelligence, defined as the ability to process,

understand and manage emotions, is one of the main components

of the sociocognition. Both in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

have been described changes in emotional intelligence, but only

few studies compare both disorders.

Objectives

The objective of this research is to increase knowledge

about the differences between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Aims

To compare emotional intelligence in patients with

schizophrenia versus bipolar patients.

Methods

Seventy-five adult patients with schizophrenia and

bipolar disorder were evaluate.

The assessment protocol consisted of a questionnaire on socio-

demographic and clinical-care data, and a battery of assessment

scales (BPRS, PANSS, SCID-I-RV, YMRS, HDRS, CGI-S, EEAG, MSCEIT).

Among the assessment tools of emotional intelligence, we select

MSCEIT as the most validated.

Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23 version. After the

descriptive analysis of the data, we compare the results of the

scales.

Results

Both disorders show a deterioration of emotional intel-

ligence compared to the general population. There were no

statistically significant differences in the comparison of emotional

intelligence between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Conclusion

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have deficits in

emotional intelligence, while it is difficult to show differences

between them. These changes in emotional intelligence are part

of a set of cognitive, social and non-social skills, which are altered

in these severe mental disorders.

Introduction

The bipolar disorder (BD) has an important effect

over the lives of patients and families. The attitude of the family is

a modifiable factor through specific interventions and it has been

related with BD prognosis.

Objectives

Study a sample of families and patients with BD.

Aims

Compare between two groups its course of burden of caring

for family members with BD. Also, we will see the course of the

functionality in patients.

Methods

Sample of 148 individuals who caring a familiar with

BD. Seventy-six of these followed psychoeducation session are

going to be experimental group (EG), and the others 72 did not

followed any session are going to be control group (CG). There is a

follow-up at 6months and one year. To see the course of the burden

and the functionality it will be used mixed models.

Results

At baseline, there were not significant differences

between CG and EG in objective and subjective burden and

functionality. But over time there were significant results in

the three cases. For objective burden (

b

=

0.016;

P

= 0.0001)

EG presented a drop (

b

=

0.014;

P

= 0.0062), while CG did

not show changes (

b

= 0.002;

P

= 0.4691). For subjective bur-

den (

b

=

0.014;

P

= 0.0058) without significant results for CG

(

b

=

0.352;

P

= 0.3203) and a significant decrease in EG (

b

=

0.017;

P

= 0.003). For the functionality (

b

= 1.474;

P

= 0.000) there was

a significant increase in EG (

b

= 1.349;

P

= 0.000) but not for CG

(

b

=

0.125;

P

= 0.3828).

Conclusions

Two groups did not differ at baseline however after

the psychoeducation sessions appear clear differences, decreasing

the burden for EG group and the functionality also improved for EG.
