The population of Georgia showed high levels of understanding and

tolerance of mental disorders. Despite of this, the fear and exclusion

toward peoplewithmental illnesswere almost twice asmore, com-

pare to the countries, where community mental health services are

developed. More than half of the interviewed reported that institu-

tional care is quite sufficient for providing treatment and suggested

that person with mental disorder should not have rights to a job.

Social status, income and occupation did not play any role in terms

of attitude.

Majority of the respondents thought that mentally ill patient is a

person who is violent or who need isolation due to the disturbed

or inadequate behavior.

The survey revealed that the attitude toward persons with mental

disorders in the republic of Georgia less likely is based on evidence

and objective information. The lack of knowledge and awareness of

mental health issues increase stigma and discrimination regarding

the people with mental health problems and prevent them from

the integration into the society.

Introduction

Although spiritual care is commonly regarded as a

nursing task, in practice, it is often provided inadequately.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to examine relationship

between attitude toward spirituality and the attitude and perfor-

mance of spiritual care among nurses who working in hospitals of

Iran university of medical sciences.

Methods

This was a correlative-descriptive study. Spiritual Per-

spective Scale (SPS) and Nursing Spiritual Care Perspective Scale

(NSCPS) were used to gather the data. A number of 166 nurses

participated in this study.

Results

Findings showed that of nurses’ spirituality attitude score

was 4.98

±

1.1 which indicated high attitude toward spirituality.

The total average of nurses’ attitude about spiritual practices was

3.67

±

0.51, which signified the positive attitude of nurses about

spiritual practices. Findings revealed that positive spiritual attitude

had a significant correlation with 6 out of 12 expressed spiritual

interventions. In addition, spiritual attitude generally had a signif-

icant positive correlation with spiritual interventions. The positive

spiritual attitude had a significant correlationwith only 3 items out

of 11 for the attitude toward spiritual practices. Therewas no corre-

lation between spiritual attitude and the attitude toward spiritual

practices.

Conclusion

In spite of the positive attitude, nurses did not per-

form half of the spiritual interventions which most of them were

in line with fulfilling the patients’ religious needs. Establishment of

in-service education program regarding spiritual care practice by

role play and modeling methods are recommended.

Introduction

Resilience is a dynamic, context- and time-specific

process that refers to positive adaptation or ability to maintain or

regain mental health despite experiencing adversity. Pathways to

resilience include biological, psychological, social and dispositional

attributes. In mood disorders, resilience may influence frequency

of relapse, severity of episodes and response to treatment.

Aims

To evaluate resilience as well as personality features, cop-

ing abilities, self-esteem and quality of life in a sample of mood

disorder patients.

Methods

We recruited mood disorder patients at the Psychiatry

institute AOU Maggiore della Carità, Novara. Socio-demographic

data were gathered and patients filled in the following self-

administered scales: Resilience Scale for Adult (RSA), Brief Cope,

Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Paykel list of stressful events,

Temperamental and Character Inventory (TCI), Quality of life (SF-

36).

Results

We collected data from 61 patients. Statistical analysis

was performed by calculating the Pearson Correlation Coefficient

between the RSA and the other tests. We observed a positive corre-

lation between RSA and coping “Emotion” and coping “Problem”. A

negative correlation was found between RSA and coping “Avoid-

ance”. Resilience was also positively related to self-esteem and

physical, mental and general health. As far as personality traits

are concerned, resilience was positively correlated with Reward

dependence, persistence, self transcendence, self directedness and

cooperativeness.

Conclusions

Since higher resilience levels are related with better

physical and mental health, constructive coping and self-esteem,

strategies aimed at enhancing resilience could improve treatment

and quality of life in patients with mood disorders.

Early positive interactions have been positively associated with

positive mental health outcomes. In contrast, the lack of these early

affiliative experiences of warmth and safeness can have negative

consequences on the individual’s physical, emotional and social

development.

The current study tests a mediationmodel that examines the medi-

ator effect of external shame and cognitive fusion on the association

between early affiliative memories with attachment figures and
