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
