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.
