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
