Abstract

Introduction: Studies indicate that war-affected and displaced groups, compared to local non-refugee populations, suffer variable but generally higher rates of stress-related somatic symptoms. The relation between traumatic events and somatization is poorly explored. Objectives: To assess the impact of trauma on somatic symptoms in forced migrants recently hosted in Italy. Methods: First generation asylum seekers/refugees of age over 18 referred to Umberto I Hospital, Rome, for a routine infectivologic screening were consecutively enrolled. The following tools were administered: Somatic Symptom Scale 8 (SSS-8), Life Events Check List (LEC-5), and Stress-related Vulnerability Scale (SVS). Results: Eighty-five subjects participated to the study (males=80 (94.1%); mean age= 28.3 SD=7.4). Fifty-eight (68%) participants reported at least one clinically significant somatic symptom and all reported at least one severe traumatic event in the LEC-5. Pearson Correlation Coefficients of SSS-8 total score with respect to LEC-5 and SVS lack of Social Support Subscale score were r=0,327 (p=0.003), r=0.529 (p=0.0001). A stepwise linear regression confirmed that LEC-5 total score (Beta standardized correlation coefficient = 0.151; p = 0.027) and SVS lack of Social Support Subscale (Beta standardized correlation coefficient = -0.309; p = 0.010) were significant predictors of SSS-8 total score. Conclusions: High levels of somatization were associated to the number of lifetime traumatic events and to perceived lack of social support in forced migrants. It is important to correctly recognize somatic symptoms in traumatized forced migrants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) show a typical neuropsychological profile, characterized by an alteration of attentive, amnesic and executive ability. The aim of the study is evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive training in integrated treatment (CTiIT) for bipolar disorder. Methods A total of 30 BD euthymic patients were enrolled. All participants completed a comprehensive neuropsychological and psychosocial (SF-36 and PSQ) assessment. Patients were random assigned to CTiIT group or control group. CTiIT is designed to be a short therapy (20 individual sessions of about 1 hour for three days at week) for the neurocognition, and for psychosocial aspects. Cognitive training consisted of computerized tasks selected from CogPACK. Attention, memory and executive tasks available within the CogPACK program were selected for use in this study, based on the cognitive domains typically affected in BD patients. Training with this program is hierarchically organized. All individuals in the present study had the potential to complete all of the tasks, regardless of degree of impairment. Statistical analyses were conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 20.0 (SPSS 20.0) for windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill). Results Results showed that CTiIT for BD is effective in improving verbal learning and memory, executive functions and attention. Moreover CTiIT increases social wellness measured by SF-36 and reduces stress perception's (PSQ). Conclusions Cognitive training in integrated treatment – CTiIT is an important tool for achievement of personal recovery and becomes necessary to use it, in the daily treatment of BD.
