AIM: To explore the relationship between visuospatial memory, weak central coherence, and eating disorder (ED) symptoms in anorexia nervosa (AN) inpatients. SAMPLE: 31 female AN inpatients. METHODS: Rey complex figure test (RCFT) was used to assess both visuospatial memory and central coherence. RCFT consisted of copy and recall trials. ED symptoms were assessed by The Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and The Clinical and Research Inventory for Eating Disorders (CR-EAT). RESULTS: We found a statistically significant negative correlation between recall accuracy and the total EDE-Q score. Furthermore, recall accuracy and recall central coherence significantly negatively correlate with several EDE-Q and CR-EAT scales. CONCLUSIONS: These findings may contribute to a better understanding of cognitive impairments specifically in ED, and to refining interventions aiming at their improvement.

AIM: In this study, we aim to explore the feasibility and acceptability of group cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for anorexia nervosa (AN) inpatients, and to suggest modifications for future use. METHODS: We performed ten 45-min CRT sessions, once a week, in two consecutive groups of adult AN inpatients. The groups consisted of 14 and 20 participants, respectively. At the end of each session, participants filled in a questionnaire asking them to evaluate whether and how they benefited from the exercise RESULTS: Group-based CRT could be well incorporated into the therapeutic program of the Eating Disorders Unit, and was well received by the participants. Based on patients' feedback and our observations, we discuss several options for future modifications.

Úvod: Pro veřejnost představují tištěná média nejdůležitější zdroj informací o duševních onemocněních. Je známo, že média značně přispívají ke stigmatizaci lidí s duševními poruchami. Tato mezinárodní komparativní studie popisuje obsahy mediálních sdělení o duševních onemocněních ve vztahu ke stigmatizaci ve třech středoevropských státech. Metodika: Výzkumný soubor tvořily články týkající se tématu duševního zdraví publikované během pěti týdnů v roce 2007 v šesti nejčtenějších denících a týdenících v každém státě. Celkem bylo nalezeno 450 článků pojednávajících o duševních poruchách (203 článků v České republice, 172 na Slovensku a 75 v Chorvatsku). Mediální sdělení byla zpracována metodou obsahové analýzy za účelem dosažení kvantitativních i kvalitativních cílů. Výsledky: Statisticky významné rozdíly byly nalezeny mezi třemi státy v distribuci článků podle umístění článku v periodiku, podle typu zmíněné diagnózy a podle agresivního aktu uváděného v souvislosti s psychiatrickým pacientem. Negativní postoje vůči osobám s duševním onemocněním byly nalezeny v 37% článků publikovaných v České republice, v 38% článků na Slovensku a ve 40 % článků v Chorvatsku. Analyzované články ukázaly, že lidé s duševním onemocněním jsou častěji zobrazováni v roli pachatele trestné činnosti (29%) než v roli její oběti (9 %). Závěr: Výsledky naznačují, že stupeň stigmatizace lidí s duševními poruchami je relativně vysoký. Dochází k posilování negativních stereotypů, jelikož lidé s duševními poruchami jsou zobrazováni jako násilní jedinci. Na základě těchto zjištění mohou být praktická doporučení pro novináře vypracována zvlášť pro každou zemi.
Objectives: Media are considered to be the publics primary source of information regarding mental illness. Its known that media significantly contribute to the stigmatisation of mental disorders, as well as the people with such ailments. This international comparative study describes the content of media messages about mental health in terms of stigma in three central European countries. Methods: The study sample comprises articles pertaining to the topic of mental health collected during five week-long periods in 2007 chosen from the six most widely read newspapers and magazines in each country. A total of 450 articles with mental illness as main content were found (203 articles from Czech Republic, 172 from Slovak Republic, 75 from Croatia). Content analysis methods were used to achieve quantitative as well as qualitative objectives. Results: Statistically significant differences were found among three countries in the distribution of articles associated with the position of articles, type of mental disorder and aggressive acts linked to psychiatric patients. Negative global impression of the text was found in the 37% articles from Czech Republic, 38% articles from Slovakia and 40% articles from Croatia. Analyzed articles showed dominance in portrayal of the mentally ill persons as perpetrators in crime related stories (29%) contrary to very low occurence of those portrayed as victims (9%). Conclusion: The results suggest that the degree of stigma of persons with mental disorders in all three countries is relatively high. Negative stereotypes are further strengthened as the persons with mental illness are depicted as violent individuals. Based on the findings, practical recommendations for journalists can be tailored specifically for each country.
