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

S653

Results

Sample comprised 142, 139 and 72 patients with

schizophrenia, depression and anxiety spectrum disorders respec-

tively, with a mean age of 39.2 years. Mean total PMH scores

among them were 4.2, 3.7 and 3.8 respectively which were signifi-

cantly lower than the general population mean of 4.5 (

P

< 0.001).

Patients of Chinese ethnicity, with lower education, depression

or anxiety, and lower GAF scores were more likely to have lower

PMH.

Conclusions

This study identified patient subgroups that are

likely to have poorer PMH. Interventions facilitating PMH among

these patient groups would be beneficial and are needed.

In recent decades, new medications have been developed that

entailed possibility of rehabilitation and socialization of mentally

ill persons.

Purpose

To consider a phenomenon of destigmatization of

mentally ill persons on the example of the analysis of screening-

questioning in mental health service.

Methods

Randomized screening-questioning of participants of

Open Doors Day in the clinics of Mental Health Research Institute

(Tomsk, Russia) in connection with World Mental Health Day in

October, 2015.

Results

One hundred and forty-six residents of Tomsk and inhab-

itants of the Tomsk Region as well as other cities visited Mental

Health Research Institute. 76,5% of them visited mental health ser-

vice for the first time. More than a half of visitors (51%) was the

most able-bodied age group– 20-50 years old; elderly people – 20%.

According to many-year observation of authors of the work, there

is a gradual destigmatization of people with mental health prob-

lems. Process of destigmatization will develop further, and mass

media should also be engaged in it. One more moment should be

emphasized – reduction of self-stigmatization. Though people do

not still aim to seek for psychiatric help at the appropriate insti-

tutions (they prefer to visit the psychiatrist of the catchment area

policlinic), they after all started recognizing presence of the prob-

lem, understanding the need of its overcoming, and possibility of

its correction.

Conclusion

The attitude of society towards people with mental

health problems and towards psychiatry reasonably changes, and

this promotes further development in the field of help to patients

and their relatives.

Introduction

We have developed a group of school-based univer-

sal prevention programs for children’s health and adjustment. The

programs are characterized by new theories such as the somatic-

marker hypothesis and enjoyable methods that utilize animated

stories and games. This study adopted one of the programs for the

development of self-confidence.

Objective

The aim was to examine the effectiveness of the pro-

gram. In addition to the direct purposes of the program, children’s

adjustments at school and homeroom class were evaluated as

extended effects.

Methods

Participants were third grade children in six public ele-

mentary schools in Japan. The final sample included 442 children

(219 boys and 223 girls). The programwas implementedweekly in

one regular 45-minute class over 8 weeks. Participants completed

a battery of three questionnaires three times, 1 month before the

start of the program (T1), 1 week before the start of the program

(T2), and during 1 week after the last class of the program (T3).

Results

Results showed that all of the main endpoints of the

program significantly improved in the intervention condition (i.e.,

changes from T2 to T3), compared to the control condition (i.e.,

changes from T1 to T2). Moreover, children’s adjustment at school

and homeroom class increased in the intervention condition,

compared to the control condition. However, implicit affect was

unchanged.

Conclusion

This study suggests that the program is effective for

enhancing self-confidence, along with adjustments at school and

in class. Future research that examines the sustainability of the

effectiveness of the program is planned.
