policy makers. The second version of the Groningen Social Disabil-
ities Schedule (GSDS-II) is widely used in the assessment of social
disability, however the relationship between its degree and many
of the clinical and demographic factors have not been investigated
thoroughly enough.
The objective of the study is to assess the degree of social disabil-
ity using GSDS-II as well as to analyze the relationship between
the degree of social disability and clinical, social and demographic
factors, in patients with a mental disorder diagnosis of F20–F48
according to ICD-10, aged 18–65, in a day ward and an inpatient
ward settings.
The paper presents the data gathered from a preliminary sample
of 20 patients of both genders diagnosed with mental disorders
who gave their informed consent to participate in the study, thus
comprising 10% of the targeted total study sample.
Our study, performed on a larger, targeted sample, will provide a
better insight into the social functioning of personswith a burden of
mental disorder. A precise presentation of the social disability shall
improve the model of care offered to these persons. Any possible
parallel studies in other countries, employing analogical methodol-
ogy, could allow for a cross-national and cross-cultural comparison
of the received outcomes.

Introduction Several recent epidemiological studies have
reported during the last few years that the prevalence of psychotic
symptoms in the community is bigger than the previously thought.
Aims Estimate the prevalence in our influence area, as there are
no previous studies focused on this measure and its correlated fac-
tors in Andalusia population.
Methods Literature review was made about the prevalence
reported in all continents as well as the found correlation. Then,
a cross-sectional epidemiological study was designed (Granada).
We present data from 809 Andalusian individuals taken from the
Unified Data Base of the Andalusian Health System.
Results This poster presents a brief but updated systematic liter-
ature review of psychotic symptoms in the general population (i.e.
delusions and hallucinations). We present also data from 809 indi-
viduals from our clinical catchment area. Prevalence of psychotic
symptoms in Granada was of 10.3%. Hallucinations were reported
in 6.1% and 7.4% reported delusions.
Conclusions The prevalence found was similar to other studies
in the Spanish population such as the EsEMED Study performed in
Catalonia where 11.2% of psychotic symptoms were reported, and
similar to European studies like the BNS in Great Britain with a
10.9% of psychotic symptoms. Differences obtained in percentages
could be due to differentmeasure scales (PSQ, MINI, CIDI. . .) used in
other studies made in the North American population such as the
National Comorbidity Survey with a 28% of prevalence reported.
Inter-interviewer differences and the potential risk factors for
psychotic symptoms in each population seem to be the causes of
such differences and similarities.

Introduction Participating in the political life is a key goal of
democratic institutions. The main achievement of the Tunisian
revolution has been the democratization of political life and the
re-conquest of liberties that remain to consecrate and consolidate.
Several studies have focused on evaluating the participation of
some specific groups in political life (youth, women . . .) but none
have shed a light on the mentally ill.
Objective and method Our study aims to assess the participation
of patients followed in different psychiatric units of the Razi hos-
pital in activities such as voting, attendance at political meetings,
adhesion and contributions to political parties as members, politi-
cal debates with their neighbors. . .
The investigation focused on 40 patients and relied on a preestab-
lished questionnaire.
Results The study groupwas 40 patients followed at Razi hospital
with 25 men and 15 women.
The average age of patients was 40 years (24–56).
The turnout was very lowat 10% (4male patients) versus an average
of 60% of the general population.
One patient was an active member of a political party and political
meetings.
Women seemed to be less interested in political issues.
Conclusion The participation of the mentally ill in politics, as in
the different aspects of social life, remains very limited in a par-
ticularly vulnerable group in society that has suffered considerable
discrimination.

Introduction Loneliness affects up to one in every third individ-
ual in the western population, and the prevalence is increasing. The
literature suggests an increased mortality risk of about 26% when
feeling lonely, and an association to some disorders of physical
health.
Objectives To assess if loneliness increases the risk of mortality,
and if so, if health indicators (hypertension, heart disease, tobacco
use, alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, and depression) mediate the
association.
