{"title":"A study on factors affecting psychological capital in employed LGBTQ+ individuals","authors":"Pooja Vora, Sruthi Sivaraman","doi":"10.4103/aip.aip_115_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/aip.aip_115_23","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Individuals who belong to the LGBTQ+ community usually have a lower level of hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism than the general population. Factors such as age, perceived social support (PSS), and coming out influence psychological capital (PsyCap) in LGBTQ+ individuals. The aim of the current study is to investigate factors such as age, PSS, and coming out influencing PsyCap, among employed LGBTQ+ individuals. Methodology: The data for the study were collected through Google Forms. The sample consists of 200 employed individuals who belong to the LGBTQ+ community using purposive sampling. The sample was evaluated using a sociodemographic profile pro forma, the 24-item PsyCap Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of PSS (MSPSS). The individuals were divided into groups based on age, PSS, and status of coming out and their scores on the PsyCap were compared and the data were statistically analyzed. Results: The PsyCap scores were compared on the basis of age groups, having come out or not come out, and scores on the MSPSS. The study showed that in employed LGBTQ+ individuals, coming out (t = 2.52, P = 0.012) and PSS (F = 31.84, P = 0.0001) had a positive effect on PsyCap, whereas age did not appear to be a significant variable causing improvement in PsyCap (t = 0.206, P = 0.837). Conclusions: Coming out and social support are important factors to build PsyCap in LGBTQ+ individuals. Further studies in larger workforces of these individuals in diverse workplace shall help us extrapolate the findings of the current study better.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"92 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44590719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of different types of media consumption and its correlation with the sexual attitudes and beliefs of medical students were studied. Aims: To study types of media consumption and its relation with sexual attitudes and beliefs in medical students of a tertiary care teaching institute. Materials and Methods: Forty-five participants, who studied in undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses in tertiary care teaching institute, were included in the study. The sexual attitudes and beliefs were assessed by using a Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale. Gender stereotypes and media consumption were assessed using the appropriate questionnaire of Likert style with grades of 1–5. Results and Discussion: Out of 45 participants with a mean age of 26.8 + 3. “Would like to have sex with multiple partners” had the highest mean score of 4.24 + 1.24, with A mean score of 4.64 + 0.9 for men expected to pay on dates corresponding mean score of 4.18 + 0.8 for liking comedies. Conclusion: There is a shift in paradigm related to sexual health from a religious outlook for procreation to satisfying basic human urges without commitment. Moreover, media has an important role to play in it. Openness on the topic is lacking, demanding further large-scale studies.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"163 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44190190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is often a diagnosis of exclusion, arrived at after eliminating infection, nutritional, inflammation, and oncologic etiologies. In this case report, we wish to highlight a case of periorbital edema induced by vortioxetine. The authors describe a case of a 25-year-old male with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, who developed periorbital edema after 5 days of taking vortioxetine. The authors observed a temporal relationship between periorbital edema and a new multimodal antidepressant-vortioxetine. This is the first reported case of periorbital edema due to vortioxetine in the literature. This can be of substantial importance as it is a relatively newer drug and will help psychiatrists to be more vigilant of this rare but serious side effect while prescribing the drug in their daily practice.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"168 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48858396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paul, Shikha Tyagi, Subhash Das, Arif Ali","doi":"10.4103/aip.aip_84_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/aip.aip_84_22","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule-2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a disability assessment instrument which is based on the conceptual framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. It provides a global measure of disability and it has seven domains-specific scores. Objective: The present study aims to check the concordance among the patient, proxy, and clinician-rated versions of WHODAS 2.0 in India. Materials and Methods: This study was cross-sectional and comparative in nature. Sixty samples of patients with severe mental illness (SMI) were selected using a consecutive sampling procedure as per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria. Using patient, proxy, and clinician administrative version of WHODAS 2.0, the study was conducted at the outpatient department of Mental Health Institute and Department of Psychiatry, Government Medical College and Hospital Sector 32, Chandigarh, India. Patients diagnosed with SMI as per the ICD-10 aged above 18 years of age with a total duration of illness of at least more than 2 years were included. Those who refused to participate were excluded. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software. The normality of quantitative data was checked by the measures of Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests of normality. The continuous data were reported as mean ± standard deviation. The categorical variables were reported as counts and percentages. The group comparisons were made with the help of ANOVA test. Results: This study included 60 patients with SMI, and the results show that there was no significant difference found among the patient, proxy, and clinician's assessment for most items, but the mean score of the clinician-rated version score (68.733) was higher in comparison to patient- and proxy-rated versions of WHODAS 2.0. Conclusion: The overall inter-reliability of WHODAS 2.0 among the patients, proxy, and clinician was moderate. There was no significant difference among the patient, proxy, and clinician's assessments for most items. This highlights the fact that one does not have to rely on professionals' ratings for assessing the disability among patients with SMI.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"115 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45052632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eating is necessary for a being for growth, development, and maintenance of body and body system. However, a variety of problems are associated with eating, in which eating disorder is of the most common. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are two most potential eating disorders mostly prevailing in youth of developing countries like Pakistan. A better understanding of its incidence is a basic requirement for improving its management. However, the temporal trend of eating disorder incidence in Pakistan is still unknown. Methods: The age- and gender-specific incidence and prevalence rates of eating disorders and their subtypes, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database. The annual percentage change and average annual percentage changes were calculated using joinpoint regression analysis to observe the trends in the incidence and prevalence rates of eating disorders and their subtypes in Pakistan over the past three decades. Results: From 1990 to 2019, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPRs) of eating disorders continued to increase in both males and females, and similar trends were observed in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. ASIR of eating disorders and bulimia nervosa was higher among males as compared to females, during mentioned time frame, but it was reversed in the case of anorexia nervosa where ASIR was higher among females as compared to males. However, ASPRs of eating disorders including both the anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, was higher among females as compared to males. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the incidence rates and prevalence rates have increased in all age groups. 15–19 and 20–24 years' age groups are having the highest incidence rates of eating disorders, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, for both males and females. Conclusion: Eating disorder burden continues to rise in Pakistan, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Further etiological studies are required to explain these increases and to facilitate the early identification of high-risk individuals.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"140 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47276174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are effective for short term management but commonly seen to be prescribed for long term against the recommended guidelines leading to various adverse effects in patients. There is dearth of Indian literature pertaining to prescription as well as deprescribing of benzodiazepines and Z drugs. Aims and Objectives: To assess the prescription pattern of benzodiazepines and Z drugs among patients visiting the department of psychiatry in a tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: Case record files of patients visiting the inpatient and outpatient setting from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017 were retrieved and analysed for sociodemographic and clinical details and prescription of benzodiazepines. Results: A total of 975 records of patients were included in the study. The mean age group was 36.79 + 13.05years. Benzodiazepines prescription was maximum in patients with anxiety spectrum disorders (38.4%). Clonazepam was the most commonly prescribed benzodiazepine (47.%). More than 50 percent of the patients continued to consume benzodiazepines for more than 3 months). There was significant positive association of long term benzodiazepine usage with duration of illness, diagnosis, type of benzodiazepines received and length of outpatient treatment. Conclusion: The study concludes that majority of patients continue to consume benzodiazepines beyond the recommended period of usage. Thus there is a need for structured guidelines for prescribing and deprescribing of benzodiazepines and Z drugs.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"159 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42770476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology of SLD is not known exactly. Aim: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of inflammation in the etiology of SLD. Materials and Methods: In our study, patients aged 7–14 years who applied to the child psychiatry outpatient clinic between November 2019 and November 2020 were retrospectively screened. The hemoglobin (Hb), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), platelet distribution width (PDW), and white blood cell (WBC) values of the children were recorded. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and PLR values were calculated. Comparisons were carried out on different variables using SPSS version 22. Results: There was no significant difference in terms of age and gender in the SLD and control groups. When blood parameters were evaluated, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of Hb, RDW, PCT, PDW, and WBC values. The PLT count was significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (P = 0.049). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of TLR and NLR values. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that Hb, RDW, PCT, PDW, WBC, NLR, and TLR values were similar in SLD and healthy control groups. This does not support the hypothesis that an increased inflammatory response may be responsible for the etiology of SLD. Considering the heterogeneity in the clinical symptoms and etiopathogenesis of SLD, more extensive studies are needed in this area.","PeriodicalId":52916,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Indian Psychiatry","volume":"7 1","pages":"96 - 102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43363003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
