24th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 33S (2016) S349–S805

made with similar studies conducted in GHPU settings over the

last 5 decades.

Results

Neurotic, stress related and somatoform disorders was

the commonest diagnostic group (33%) followedby psychotic disor-

ders (17%) and mood disorders (15%). The finding is broadly similar

to the studies done at different times in the last 5 decades. How-

ever, there were lesser number of patients withmental retardation,

organic brain syndrome and seizure disorder.

Conclusion

The study highlights the strengths of GHPU set-ups

like inter-speciality referrals, fewer stigmas, patients travelling

from far off places to seek treatment and involvement of family

in the care of mentally ill.

Introduction

Occupational psychiatry is the field of psychiatry

that focuses on work, its importance in the lives of individuals and

work organizations. It gained visibility in the 2000 decade, after the

creation of the Academy of Occupational and Organizational Psy-

chiatry. Following that trend, occupational psychiatry outpatient

started in 2008 at Hospital de Santa Maria.

Objective

To describe the structure and functioning of that

project; to characterize the population that has been referred to

this subspecialty, as well as the main motives for referral; and to

highlight some paradigmatic cases that deserve special attention.

Aims

Call attention to the importance of occupational psychiatry

at the individual and institutional level.

Methods

All the patients ever referred to the occupational psy-

chiatry consultation were considered for the analysis. Clinical

information was obtained through medical records and interviews

with the patients. Bibliographic research was conducted through

the PubMed in the Medline library.

Results

In our hospital, the prototype patient referred to occupa-

tional psychiatry is a middle-aged woman working as a medical

assistant. The most frequent motives for referral were related

to difficulties in accomplishing job duties and definite psychi-

atric diagnosis corresponded more often to the common mental

disorders (anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders). At the

institutional level, the initiative was received with great enthusi-

asm.

Conclusions

As Freud stated “To Love and work are the cor-

nerstone of our humanness”, in line with that we consider that

occupational psychiatry should be taken as a priority in what con-

cerns to mental health policies.

Introduction/objectives

Mental health problems were shown by

different studies to be both: results of and risk factors for unemploy-

ment. However, unemployed people with mental health problems

often have difficulties in finding and using mental health services

and therefore do not benefit from therapies. Because unemployed

individuals outside the healthcare system are a hard-to-reach

group, barriers to but also facilities for mental health services are

poorly understood.

Aims

The aimof the study is to identify barriers and facilitators of

help seeking and service use, based on experiences of unemployed

people with mental health strains.

Methods

We conducted 15 qualitative semi-structured inter-

views with unemployed individuals, facing self-reported mental

health problems or mental illness. Topics included individual expe-

riences with help-seeking and mental health service use, with a

focus on barriers and facilitators. Interviews were audiotaped and

transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analyzed using qualitative

content analysis and major themes were identified.

Results

Patients fear adverse reactions of psychiatric medication.

They report to be treated as “different” by their social environment

and health professionals, which leads to a lack of self-esteem and

inhibits them in their help seeking efforts. Social support and desire

for change on the other hand can be strong motivational factors in

searching for help.

Conclusion

Perception of GPs towards mental health issues of

their patients, and especially unemployed patients, has to be raised.

Stigmatization of mental illnesses and help seeking should be

reduced in practical context.

Introduction

Mental disorder is a key public health challenge due

to its high levels of disability and mortality and a leading cause of

DALYs (Disability adjusted life years). Therefore, a small improve-

ment on mental care provision and management could generate

solid benefits on relieving the social burden of mental diseases.

Objective

Long-term vision of collaboration between Fujitsu

Laboratories, Fujitsu Spain, andHospital Clinico SanCarlos is to gen-

erate value through predictive and preventive medicine improving

healthcare outcomes for every clinical area, benefiting managers,

clinicians, and patients.

Aims

The aim is to enable a data centric approach towards a

value-based healthcare system via health informatics. The project

fuses knowledge from heterogeneous sources for obtaining pat-

terns for clinical decision-making.

Methods

This project leverages a data analytic platform named

HIKARI (“light” in Japanese) to deliver the “right” information, to

the “right” people, at the “right” time. HIKARI consists of a data-

driven and evidence-based Decision Support and Recommendation

System (DSRS), facilitating identification of patterns in large-scale

datasets and linking of data from different sources and types.

Results

Using multiple, heterogeneous datasets, HIKARI detects

correlations fromdata retrospectively and conducts early interven-

tion when signs and symptoms prompt immediate actions. HIKARI

also highlights resource consumption patterns and suggests future

resource allocation, using real-life data.
