Јовић, Јелена; Ћорац, Александар
Background: Studies indicate that certain types of affective temperaments (cyclothymic, irritable and anxious) can be a risk factor for substance addiction. The relationship between
affective temperaments and behavioral addictions has received relatively little attention from
researchers. Instagram is a social network with apparently greatest addictive potential and
the number of its users has been growing the most. The aim of this study was to examine
the relationships between Instagram addiction (IA) and different types of affective temperaments. Method: The study sample included 332 students (61.9% female). Their mean age
was 20.99±2.35 years. The Instagram Addiction Scale (IAS, Cronbach α = 0.88 in the present study) and Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A, Cronbach α = 0.77 in the present study) were administered. Items of
TEMPS-A were constructed on the basis of the criteria for affective temperaments (cyclothymic, depressive, irritable, hyperthymic, anxious). Results: The mean score on the IAS was
28.61±9.75, with scores in females and males not differing significantly. Hyperthymic temperament was the only temperament that correlated negatively with IAS (rs = -0.12; p<0.05).
Cyclothymic temperament correlated moderately with IAS (rs = 0.38; p<0.05), followed by
anxious (rs = 0.26; p<0.05), depressive (rs = 0.23; p<0.05) and irritable temperaments (rs =
0.11; p<0.05). Conclusions: IA is associated to affective temperaments positively except for
negative association with hyperthymic temperament. This may have further scientific and
preventive implications.

Јовић, Јелена
Introduction: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic is, in many ways, specific. In addition, the Internet usage during the pandemic has taken on a new dimension. On one hand, maintaining social contacts with
friends/families to reduce psychological impacts of isolation, providing access to entertainment and even materials
guiding physical exercises are all realized through information and communication technologies. All these are also the
strategies recommended by the WHO. On the other hand,
longer Internet hours coupled with the specifics of the Internet usage during a pandemic, could lead to exploring
particular contents (pornography) as well activities (social
networks, games). The aforementioned could negatively reflect on important mental health factors in daily living such
as quality of life or insomnia.Aim: The aim of our study was
to investigate if quality of life and sleep during the pandemic are predicted by Internet-related variables such as
the general use of Internet.
Methods and methods: This cross-sectional study is a part
of a wider international multicenter research. The study
was approved by Ethics Committee of the Clinical Centre
of Serbia and the Board of Clinic of Psychiatry, Clinical Centre of Serbia. The study included 3330 participants (71.1%
females, average age was 40.78 ±12.21 years). The participants filled in an anonymous online self-report questionnaire, comprising the following: 1) socio-demographic
questionnaire; 2) questionnaire on Internet use during the
pandemic (designed for the purpose of this study), assessing whether participants had more frequent use of Internet, and performed any of the online activities more (e.g.
playing online games, using Instagram, Facebook (FB)), or
browsed any of the Internet contents more (e.g. sexual contents) during the pandemic; 3) the Insomnia Severity Index
(ISI); 4) the COVID-19 - Impact on Quality of Life (COV19-
QoL) scale. Multivariate liner regression was used to produce two models, with COV19-QoL during the pandemic and
the ISI score as outcomes, and Internet-related variables as
S595Abstracts
predictors, controlling for gender, age, and the number of
persons living in the household. Results: Both linear regression models were significant, explaining about 6% of variance each. Worse QoL during the pandemic was predicted by
more time on Internet during the pandemic, more frequent
gaming, FB use, and searching for sexual content, whereas
the more frequent use of Instagram had no predictive effect. Higher insomnia severity was predicted by more time
spent on Internet during the pandemic, and more frequent
search for sexual content, while other Internet-related variables had no predictive effects.
Conclusions: The findings of this study speak in favor of the
negative association between the general and specific use of
Internet on side, and the quality of life and sleep during the
pandemic, on the other. These findings may have important
implication for both prevention and further research.
2021-10-02T00:00:00ZAttitudes of students of dentistry towards mentally ill patientsЈовић, Јеленаhttps://platon.pr.ac.rs/handle/123456789/6102022-09-22T08:42:54Z2022-09-12T00:00:00ZAttitudes of students of dentistry towards mentally ill patients
Јовић, Јелена
Background: The attitudes of society towards psychological
disorders have not changed significantly through history, although the diagnosis and the possibility of their treatment
have significantly improved. The results of many studies indicate that mental disorders and their treatment are less socially accepted than disorders of an organic nature [1]. Evidence suggests that people with mental illness are more vulnerable to dental neglect and poor oral health. Health care
professions including dentists are not immune to social prejudices and share the general public’s attitude attributed to
people with mental illness, affecting quality of care [2].
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine some possible
changes in attitudes in a population of students of dentistry
towards psychiatric patients after classes in psychiatry.
Methods: The study sample included 102 students of the
third year of dentistry (37.3 % male). Their mean age was
22.28 ± 0.89. The sociodemographic questionnaire, questionnaire about psychiatric experience and Opinions about
mental illness (OMI) questionnaire [3], were administered.
We were followed instruction from the questionnaire author
and divided it into five subscales: Authoritarianism, Benevolence, Mental hygiene ideology, Social restrictiveness,
Interpersonal etiology. Questionnaire about psychiatric experience consist of questions: “Did you have any psychiatric
problems?”, ‘’ Are any of the family member psychiatric
patient”?, “ Are you afraid of psychiatric patients”? Participants were interviewed before and after classes on
psychiatry. Study was approved from ethic committee of
institution.
Results: We paired average scores of five subscales before and after classes on psychiatry. Statistical significant
change of score was found just in subscale Benevolence
(1.618 ±6.55, p<0.05) in whole sample. These subscale
reflect positive attitude. After that, we paired all subscales with sociodemographic variables (gender, place of
inhabitancy) and with questions about psychiatric experience (positive psychiatric anamnesis, fear of psychiatric
patients). We got a statistical significant change between
genders in subscale Interpersonal etiology. Women got
higher scores on this subscale (U= 9.13, p<0.05).
Conclusions: Based on our results and a good reliability
of questionnaire (Cronbach α > 0.7) about attitudes we
can conclude that students of the third year of dentistry
achieved higher scores on subscales who reflect negative
attitudes and they did not change their attitudes towardsAbstracts S93
psychiatric patients globally after two months of classes
in psychiatry and meeting with psychiatric patients. It
is good that score of subscale Benevolence who reflect
positive attitude was higher after classes in psychiatry. It is
interesting that female achieved higher scores on subscale
Interpersonal etiology than male participants because this
subscale have a paternalistic view on psychiatric patients.
There is a need for organising classes of psychiatry for
at least one semester and additional education about the
doctor-patient relationship, because attitudes that health
workers have in relation to mental disorders represent an
essential part of the attitude towards their patients and are
important for reducing the stigmatisation of patients.

Stari imaju i posebne nutritivne potrebe. Siromaštvo, slaba institucionalna i instrumentalna podrška starima kao i vrlo često otudjenost od ostatka porodice, usamljenost su još neki u nizu problema populacije starih u Srbiji. Međutim, sa druge strane mali je broj istraživanja u našoj zemlji koja se bave ovom populacijom, koja kako svojom brojnošću tako i opterećenjem nizom pomenutih faktora i te kako zaslužuje pažnju istraživača i naše naučne javnosti.
Studijom preseka obuhvaćen je 221 ispitanik (55,4% iz grada i 44,6% sa sela).67,9 žene 32,1 muskarci Ispitanici su bili pacijenti službe kućnog lečenja Doma Zdravlja Užice, kao i nepokretni pacijenti službe Opšte prakse Doma Zdravlja Užice, koji su u studiju uključeni na predlog svojih izabranih lekara. Svi ispitanici imali su 65 i više godina. Prosečna starost ispitanika bila je 80,93 ± 6,6
Anketiranje i pregled ispitanika obavljan je u njihovom domu. Korišćen je upitnik koji se sastojao iz socio-demografskog (podaci o polu, godini rođenja, mestu stanovanja, školskoj spremi i socijalnom status) i specifičnog dela. Specifičnim delom upitnika dobijeni su podaci o ishrani ispitanika (koliko obroka imaju u toku dana, koliko puta u toku nedelje konzumiraju određenu grupu namirnica), Podaci o hroničnim bolestima dobijeni su uvidom u medicinsku dokumentaciju ispitanika . Svakom od ispitanika je tenziometrom izmeren krvni pritisak .
