IntroductionThe intention of this study is to show the frequency of the burnout syndrome among the population seen at psychiatric ER for the most severe complication of the burnout, the suicide attempt.Objective(a) To demonstrate the frequency of burnout among the population examined at psychiatric ER for suicide attempt.(b) To establish a correlation between the frequency of burnout and:– the socio-demographic characteristics;– the psychiatric follow-up;– the type of personality found.MethodsDescriptive study on a sample of 92 patients examined at psychiatric ER between 01/02/2014 and 01/06/2014 after a suicide attempt, seen by a single doctor. The patients received the Maslach Burnout inventory (MBI).ResultsThe frequency of burnout among the population consulted for suicide attempts is 8.7%. The limitations of this study were: the use of MBI questionnaire only by one doctor and a collection of data carried on a certain period of time.I managed to characterize the population seen after the suicide attempt induced by the burnout: 88% women; 25% foreign population working in a context with many responsibilities; the predominance of obsessive personality – 50%, followed by anxious personality type – 25%; the suicide attempt was done by a population without psychiatric history and without psychiatric follow-up – 75%; the studied population is divided between patients working in a high responsibility environment – 36% and patients working in the social or the public environment – 63%.Eighty-eight percent of patients were brought in after their first suicide attempt.ConclusionDespite the fact that until now a unanimous definition has not been formulated on the CIM-10, the burnout syndrome is one of the most popular disorders.The problematic is real, considering that this syndrome, which starts with a psychological distress, can escalade to a self-aggressive behaviour.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Global Public Health Problem

IntroductionSuicide is a global public health problem. More than 800,000 people die due to suicide every year according to the WHOM. In Spain, about 9 people die due to suicide every day, and the rates increase every year. The presence of previous suicide attempts is one of the strongest risk factors for suicide consumption. Nevertheless, patients sometimes do not receive a correct assistance after a suicide attempt.ObjectiveTo study the follow-up of patients, without previous psychiatrichistory, who commit a first suicide attempt in the area of Huelva (Spain).MethodRetrospective review of the electronic clinical histories of patients attended in the Emergency service of Juan Ramón Jiménez Hospital after a first suicide attempt during the first six months of 2015.ResultsFrom January to June of 2015 we collected a total of 159 patients who committed a firs suicide attempt in our area. A total of 69.18% were women and 30.82 were men. In both sex the mean age was 39 years. Out of the 159 attended after a first suicide attempt, only 54% were referred to the Psychiatry service to be followed up. Out of those referred, only 62% actually attended and only half of them really staying treatment.ConclusionsAn adequate psychiatric follow up after a suicide attempt is needed to reduce the risk of more suicide attempts or consumption. A minority (30.8%) of the patients attended in our area after a first suicide attempt received an adequate attention.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionPrevious studies reported high burnout rates and indicated significant factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees, such as hard working conditions, lack of supervision and not opting for psychiatry as a first career choice.ObjectivesA substantial amount of variance was reported in psychiatry training across countries. However, there is not sufficient national data regarding the rates and risk factors of burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees in Turkey.AimsTo determine the burnout syndrome rates and the risk factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees.MethodsA questionnaire of occupational, educational and personal factors and Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) were answered by 180 of 450 psychiatric trainees in Turkey. The data was collected from 167 (56% females) trainees who completed the survey material. Converting the scores of three subscales by using MBI manual, a dichotomous variable (severe/non-severe burnout) was obtained for each participant and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression models.ResultsMean age was 28.85 ± 2.99-year-old and mean duration of residency was 2.61 ± 1.31 years. Severe burnout was found in 38.3% of the trainees. Logistic regression confirmed that older age (P = 0.02) and pressure from superiors (P = 0.04) are predictive factors associated with severe burnout. The high number of patient visits (P = 0.001), violation of employee personal rights (P = 0.04) and pressure from superiors (P = 0.01) were significantly associated with the “wish working in another institution”.ConclusionsPressure from superiors and older age can be described as risk factors associated with burnout syndrome among psychiatric trainees in Turkey.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionOutcome after first episode psychosis is heterogeneous, but knowledge about the distribution and predictive factors is limited.ObjectiveTo investigate medication and rehospitalizations for five years after first episode hospital treated psychosis.MethodSwedish population registers were used to select a nation-wide cohort of 962 cases (589 or 61% men) with a first hospitalization for psychosis at ages between 16–25 years. Cases were categorized year by year for 5 years after the initial hospitalization with regard to rehospitalizations and dispensations of antipsychotics and other medications.ResultsThe 5-years mortality was 4% (n = 39) with suicides in 16 cases (1.6%, 11 of which were men). Additionally, 139 cases (23% of women and 10% of men) had hospitalizations for suicide attempts within 5 years. A bimodal distribution of years with medication was found indicating two different trajectories of outcome. One peak was seen for cases with dispensations of antipsychotics 5 of 5 years (40% of the cohort). Another peak was seen at dispensations during at most 1 of 5 year (30%). During year 5, 514 (56% of 923 cases surviving 5 years) had dispensations of neuroleptics and 257 (28%) were hospitalized, whereas 356 cases (39%) had no dispensation of neuroleptics or hospitalization.ConclusionsThe population of young cases with first episode psychosis is heterogeneous with at least two clearly separable trajectories based on medication and hospitalizations. The high mortality and high incidence of suicide attempts during a five-year period demonstrate a need for careful monitoring of these patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

BackgroundHistory of previous suicide attempts is one of the most important risk factors for a subsequent completed suicide. Suicide reattempters (SR) has been long associated with demographic and clinical risk factors for suicide, such as unemployment and psychiatric disorders, however a recent review of the literature has not supported a specific age and gender profile of SR, but rather underscored that, as far as diagnosis is concerned, SR were more likely to have a personality disorder. According to literature, 16%–34% of the subjects repeat a suicide attempt within the first 2 years after the previous one.AimThe purpose of our study was evaluating clinical and socio-demographic characteristics and the outcome of psychiatric consultation among subjects referring to an emergency room for recommitting a suicide attempt.MethodsWe considered a sample of SR aged > 16 years. We extracted data from the database including all patients requiring psychiatric evaluation in the emergency room, and eventually compared the features of SR and patients with a single suicide attempt. For each patient, we gathered socio-demographic features, psychiatric history and current clinical issues, suicidal intent and suicidal behaviors.ResultsData collection and statistical analyses are still ongoing. Preliminary results show that, compared to patients with a single suicide attempt, SR were more frequent female, unmarried, employed, with a low level of instruction; they had a psychiatric disease (axis I – anxiety disorder, somatoform disorder; axis II – histrionic personality disorder); they are under the care of mental health services and under psychopharmacological treatment.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

O objetivo deste artigo é o de apresentar uma contribuição preliminar para a discussão dos principais aspectos socioambientais a serem considerados na construção de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. A importância do estudo reside na possibilidade de levantamento de subsídios à tomada de decisão no ambiente público do segmento de energia. A metodologia possui natureza teórica e realiza uma visitação na literatura especializada, de modo a criar condições de exame dos meandros sociais e ambientais para a composição de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. Os aspectos sociais e ambientais, a partir de variáveis pertinentes à energia elétrica e ao desenvolvimento, foram mensurados por Borges (2007), por meio do coeficiente de Pearson. O estudo concluiu que a elaboração de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética para o setor industrial no Pará recomenda a observância do perfil de consumo energético das indústrias, que apresentou evoluções proporcionais quando associado à emissão de gases poluentes e atenção quanto ao perfil do saldo de empregos, que não indica estar associado diretamente ao comportamento dos investimentos em eletricidade no setor analisado.   ENERGY INDICATORS FOR THE INDUSTRY SECTOR: A PRELIMINARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION OF SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN PARÁ   ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to present a preliminary contribution to the discussion of the main socio-environmental aspects to be considered in the construction of energy sustainability indicators. The importance of the study lies in the possibility of raising subsidies for decision-making in the public environment of the energy sector. The methodology comprises theoretical nature and carries out a visit to the specialized literature, aiming at creating conditions for examining the social and environmental intricacies for the composition of energy sustainability indicators. The social and environmental aspects, based on relevant electricity and development variables, were measured by Borges (2007), using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The study concluded that the elaboration of energy sustainability indicators for the industrial sector in Pará suggests the observance of the energy consumption profile of the industries, which presented proportional evolution when associated with polluting gases emission, and attention to the impact on employment, which does not suggest being associated with the electricity investment behavior in the analyzed sector.   Keywords: Industry.

Abstract Background:Burnout is a stress-induced syndrome that is considered closely related to work. Although social support could reduce burnout syndrome, the effect of it on learning burnout in medical students remains unclear. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the association between learning burnout and social support in a cohort of Chinese medical students.Methods:A cross-sectional online survey was distributed to students who participated in online learning in a medical college in Wuhan during the COVID-19 epidemic. We used the Lian version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to assess learning burnout and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) to assess social support.Results:A total of 684 students completed the survey (response rate of 30.9%), of which 315 (46.12%) met standard criteria for learning burnout. We found grade, family income, learning time, and the number of interactions with teachers or classmates had an effect on students’ learning burnout. After adjusting for the grade and residence, there was a significant and relevant association between the social support and learning burnout. (adjusted odds ratio, 0.93 for 1-point decrease in total SSRS score; 95% CI, 0.90 – 0.96; p < 0.001).Conclusions:Learning burnout was highly prevalent in medical students of our college. The social support especially subjective support and utilization of support played a protective role in reducing the risk of learning burnout.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la introducción de criterios de transparencia y rendición de cuentas en la gestión de las regalías petroleras en Colombia. A través del estudio de los Comités de Seguimiento y Evaluación a la Inversión de Regalías (CSIR), se intenta indagar si los dispositivos de control ciudadano implican nuevas condiciones de gobernanza en el sector petrolero. Para ello, se presentan primero los argumentos que facilitan la inscripción de la gestión local de las regalías como un tema problemático en la agenda pública. Posteriormente, se describe el surgimiento de los CSIR en respuesta a dicho problema, se analizan los factores que permiten su desarrollo y el nuevo tipo de interacciones Estado-Sociedad que genera su implementación en el ámbito local. En el último aparte, se presentan las inquietudes que suscitan estas nuevas condiciones de gobernanza en términos de su contenido democrático y de sus alcances. Palabras clave: gobernanza, gestión de regalías petroleras, accountability social, democracia local, Colombia. ABSTRACT: This article aims at analyzing the introduction of transparency and accountability standards for oil royalties’ management in Colombia. Through the study of the Royalties’ Investment Evaluation and Follow-Up Committees (CSIR), the article intends to understand if the social accountability mechanisms create new governance conditions in the oil sector. The first part presents the arguments that support the positioning of royalties’ management as a problematic topic on the public agenda. Then, the emergency of CSIR is described as a response to such problem, analyzing the elements that make possible its development and the new type of State- Society interactions engendered through its implementation at the local level. Finally, the article presents some questions about the democratic content and the real scope of these new governance conditions.

Abstract Objective To analyse the relation between exposure to workplace sexual harassment and suicide, as well as suicide attempts. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Sweden. Participants 86 451 men and women of working age in paid work across different occupations responded to a self-report questionnaire including exposure to work related sexual harassment between 1995 and 2013. The analytical sample included 85 205 people with valid data on sexual harassment, follow-up time, and age. Main outcome measures Suicide and suicide attempts ascertained from administrative registers (mean follow-up time 13 years). Results Among the people included in the respective analyses of suicide and suicide attempts, 125 (0.1%) died from suicide and 816 (1%) had a suicide attempt during follow-up (rate 0.1 and 0.8 cases per 1000 person years). Overall, 11 of 4095 participants exposed to workplace sexual harassment and 114 of 81 110 unexposed participants committed suicide, and 61/4043 exposed and 755/80 513 unexposed participants had a record of suicide attempt. In Cox regression analyses adjusted for a range of sociodemographic characteristics, workplace sexual harassment was associated with an excess risk of both suicide (hazard ratio 2.82, 95% confidence interval 1.49 to 5.34) and suicide attempts (1.59, 1.21 to 2.08), and risk estimates remained significantly increased after adjustment for baseline health and certain work characteristics. No obvious differences between men and women were found. Conclusions The results support the hypothesis that workplace sexual harassment is prospectively associated with suicidal behaviour. This suggests that suicide prevention considering the social work environment may be useful. More research is, however, needed to determine causality, risk factors for workplace sexual harassment, and explanations for an association between work related sexual harassment and suicidal behaviour.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic—and the social distancing measures that many countries have implemented—have caused disruptions to daily routines. Mental health support and follow-up should be provided even six months after the release from isolation for those individuals with prior vulnerable mental health status. The main aim of the study is to create awareness and knowledge about COVID – 19 and its impact on the mental health of the public. The self-administered design was designed based on awareness. The questionnaire was distributed through google docs link to 100 numbers of the study population who were in lockdown irrespective of age. Methods of representation of each output variable were represented in the pie chart form. The measure that was taken to minimize the sampling bias was that the validity that was checked both internally and externally. The result was statistically analyzed using SPSS software. The participants were explained about the purpose of the study in detail. From the above Survey conducted, 58% of the total 100 participants' mental health being affected due to lockdown imposed due to COVID -19. This COVID 19 has created stress, anxious and nervous situations for 47% of the total participants. Educated people and health professionals are aware of this infection; they take possible preventive measures. They understand the importance of social distancing. So this lockdown is not affecting their mental health.
