individuals, families, and society. This study had two major objec-
tives:
– to examine the relationship between academic burnout, hope
and mental health in an Iranian sample;
– to examine to what extend academic burnout and hope predict
mental health among secondary school students.
Method Participants of this study were 250 (130 female, 120
male) students. They completed the School Burnout Inventory (BDI,
Salmela-Aro et al., 2009), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ,
Goldberg, 1978) and Adult Hope Scale (AHS, Snyder et al., 1991).
Correlational analyses indicated that academic burnout and hope
were significantly involved in student mental health.
Results The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that
mental health was affected differently from two predictor vari-
ables.
Conclusion Academic burnout and hope in students endangers
their mental health. The model obtained is appropriate for explain-
ing mental health students.

Introduction Every theory that explains psychopathology refers
to different aspects of mental pain whether it regards annihilation
anxiety, fragmentation of the self or feelings of intolerable anguish.
The concept of mental pain has proved to be an important symp-
tom in mood disorders in general and suicide in particular (Orbach
et al., 2004; Levi et al., 2010; Levinger et al., 2015). Combining the
understanding that mental pain is as a part of all forms of psy-
chopathology with the growing interest in assessing therapeutic
processes via outcome measures has led to the assumption that
the tolerance and severity of mental pain could become powerful
outcome measurement. The aim of this study is to assess the Men-
tal Pain Scale (OMMP) and Tolerance to Mental Pain Scale (TMPS)
as outcome measurement and to learn about their capabilities to
distinguish between different psychopathologies.
Objective The first objective would be to examine patterns of
mental pain subscales in different psychopathologies. The second
objective is to assess the OMMP and TMPS as outcome measure-
ments.
Method Two hundred and thirty outpatients were administered
a clinical questionnaire battery composed of eight questionnaires.
The patients were to fill these questionnaires every 3 months for
one year or until the end of their therapy.
Results We will present preliminary findings regarding the
expressions of mental pain in different kinds of psychopathology
and results of 3 months follow-up.
Conclusion Tolerance and severity of mental pain are a vital to
the assessment of psychopathology and should be used as outcome
measurement of therapeutic process.

Introduction Clinician’s attitudes are an important consideration
in implementing adherence strategies and that these attitudes can
be successfully improved as a result of training. The 22-item Med-
ication Alliance Beliefs Questionnaire (MABQ; Byrne et al.2008)
was used to assess clinician attitudes towards non-adherence. The
MABQ contains five subscales reflecting the clinician’s self-efficacy
(adequacy), the satisfaction (work satisfaction); their appraisal of
their self-worth (self-esteem), their outcome expectancies (pes-
simism) in relation to non-adherent patients, and the extent to
which they understand the difficulties patients might experience
in trying to adhere to treatment (empathy).
Aims/objectives To develop the Portuguese version of the MABQ.
Methods The MABQ was translated and adapted for Portuguese
language. The translation was done by the first author (AC). The
accuracy of this translation was discussed in a two focus group
of experts, providing opinion on face and content validity. After
pre-testing, the final version of the Portuguese translation was pro-
duced.
Results A convenience sample of 65 mental health profession-
als working in a variety of settings is being collected. The average
score in MABQ was 80.06 (SD 9.5). The value of internal reliabil-
ity coefficient was 0.80. The intraclass correlation coefficient of
total MABQ score was 0.35. The t-test showed that there were no
statistically significant differences between the mean values of the
measurement scale at two different times (80.4 vs.76.2; P = 0.02).
Conclusion The attitudes of mental health professionals may
have a predictive relationship with treatment outcomes of patients
with mental health disorders. The validation of the Portuguese ver-
sion of MABQwill provide professionals with a new tool to evaluate
crucial issues related to medication beliefs.

Introduction Non-adherence is a problem throughout medicine
and there are many strategies that are used to improve antipsy-
chotic adherence. A reviewof the literature identified 33 commonly
cited strategies for enhancing consumer adherence. Three core
