Introduction

Maternal psychopathology can have a server effect

on the ability of mothers to attach to their children.

Aim

To ascertain the level of attachment of adults between the

ages of 18–25 years of age who were raised by mothers who suffer

from schizophrenic disorders and depressive spectrum disorders,

then compared to adults who were raised by mothers with no for-

mal clinical diagnosis.

Method

This study used the Adult Attachment Questioner (AAQ),

by Simpson Rholes Philips (1996) to ascertain the level of attach-

ment of adults between the ages of 18–25 years of age who were

raised by mothers who suffer from schizophrenic disorders (

n

= 30)

and depressive spectrum disorders (

n

= 30). The findings of these

two groups were then compared to adults who were raised by

mothers with no formal clinical diagnosis (

n

= 30).

Result

The findings indicated that there is a significant difference

between adults who were raised by mothers with the afore-

mentioned mental disorders (schizophrenic and depression), as

compared to those who were raised by mentally healthy mothers.

Conclusion

The style of attachment in adults who were raised by

mothers with the aforementioned clinical diagnosis (schizophrenic

and depression) have insecure attachments, while the children

who were raised by mentally healthy mothers have almost secure

attachment style.

Introduction

Impulsivity may be related to an anxious antic-

ipation of pain. It might explain an increased consumption of

symptomatic treatments in migraine patients, one of main risk fac-

tors for Chronic Migraine (CM). Plutchik Scale (PS) is a screening

test designed to assess impulsive behaviours grouped in four sub-

scales: ability to plan, control of emotional states, control of basic

behaviours, and control of other behaviours.

We aim to analyze influence of impulsivity on CM or Medication

Overuse (MO).

Methods

Patients attended in an outpatient headache office in a

tertiary hospital (January 2013–January 2015). Episodic migraine

(EM), CM and MO diagnosed accordingly to International Classifi-

cation of Headache Disorders, III edition. Patients answered PS (15

multiple choice items, positive if score > 20). We analysed results

including four subscales.

Results

Two hundred and thirty-nine patients (34 males, 205

females), age 38.1

±

11 years (range: 18–70). One hundred and

sixty-one cases (67.4%) CM and, among them, 115 (71.4%) withMO.

Plutchik score 13.1

±

6.8 (1–40); 36 patients (15.1%) met criteria for

impulsivity. Considering subscales 12.6% of patients were over the

cut-point regarding ability to plan, 20.5% for emotional states, 4.6%

for common behaviours and 26.4% for other behaviours. We found

no differences in Plutchik or subscales scores or presence of impul-

sivity when comparing EM and CM groups and CM patients with or

without MO.

Conclusion

In our migraine population, impulsivity assessed by

Plutchik scale is frequent, mainly when considering emotional

states or common behaviours. However, neither Plutchik nor sub-

scales scores correlated with CM or MO.

Introduction

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most com-

monly diagnosed functional gastrointestinal disorders. Irritable

bowel syndrome (IBS) and its association with stress have not been

researched in regards to foreign medical students in Cluj-Napoca,

Romania.

Objective

To establish the prevalence of IBS in foreign medical

school students and the relationship with stress.

Methods

This observational case-controlled study was carried

out in “Iuliu Hatieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in

Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The sample size was 102, and the data was

collected using an online self-report questionnaire. The ‘Rome 3 cri-

teria’ was used to diagnose IBS and ‘Stressful Life Events Check-list’

was used to measure levels of stress.

Results

The prevalence of IBS was 24.5%, with females having

higher rates (34%) compared tomales (16.4%). The types of IBSwere

IBS-M (mixed form) 8.8%, IBS-D (diarrhoea dominant) 6.9%, IBS-C

(constipation dominant) 5.9% and IBS-U (undefined) 2.9%. Students

with IBS reportedhigher social stress compared to studentswithout

IBS.

Conclusions

More efforts should be made to combat stress that

medical students experience in order to reduce the number of IBS

cases. This may involve an increased role of the medical school to

develop initiatives and support, with the aim of helping medical

school students better cope with stress and stressful events.
