Background: The prevalence of depression in Pakistan is considered to be higher than other developing countries. Medication adherence is a major factor in the success and cost effectiveness of the treatment of depression. Limited information relating medication adherence and its factor are available for patients in Pakistan. Objective: The study aim to determine the factors associated with adherence of antidepressants in depressed patients. Methods: The study was conducted in outpatient setting of hospital. 200 participants were enrolled in the study. Self-assessment tool was used to determine the medication adherence. Results: The results showed that factors such as gender, education, employment and total number of medications have significant influence on adherence of antidepressants. The study also shows that the relationship of factors and adherence changes with the duration of therapy. Conclusion: Factors play a vital role in understanding the barriers in medication non-adherence. Factors effecting medication adherence change with respect to the duration of therapy. Gender, employment, morbidity and number of medications taken earlier have significant influence on medication adherence of antidepressants in depressed patients.

The personality characteristics of children and adolescents explained by the Big Five model have been studied much less than the personality characteristics of adults. One of the rare self-assessment personality instruments for the preadolescent and adolescent age is the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C). The aim of this study is an evaluation and presentation of the latent structure and some psychometrical characteristics of the BFQ-C in the Serbian language. The sample consisted of 881 participants (54% female) who attended the final grades of primary and the initial grades of secondary schools (M=14 years, SD = .99). The original model, previously addressed across different cultures and languages, was tested through CFA. The hypothesized model did not obtain satisfactory fit indices. Following these results, the sample was randomly divided into two datasets. We opted for further exploration of the Serbian version of BFQ-C's latent structure and the development of its shorter version. The final result is the 29-item questionnaire solution (SBFQ-C-29), with loadings on five factors with satisfactory internal consistency, homogeneity, and adequacy, consistent with the previous studies addressing different cultures and languages.

In this study, we examined the influence of clinical depression and personality introversion on 15-month mortality following stroke. Ninety-four stroke inpatients were examined two months post-stroke for clinical depression and pre-stroke personality characteristics of neuroticism and introversion. Fifteen months later, the vital status of 84 of these patients was able to be determined. Seven (8%) of the 84 patients died. Mortality rate increased from non-depressed to minor depressed and to major depressed patients (1 /48 [2%], 2/21 [10%] and 3/13 [23%], respectively) (χ2[trend] = 6.6, df = 1, p = 0.01). Patients who died had higher depression symptom scores (mean ± SD) than survivors (17.7 ± 6.0 versus 9.9 ± 7.1) (p = 0.006). Non-survivors were more introverted (i.e. had lower extroversion scores) than survivors (1.7 ±1.4 versus 4.2 ± 2.1) (p = 0.004). In multivariate analyses, introversion and depression were independently associated with mortality. We conclude that personality introversion and depression are associated with increased mortality following stroke.

SynopsisThis study examined the relationship between personality factors and depression in subjects who may have a familial vulnerability to depression (i.e. first-degree relatives of depressed patients). Four groups comprised our study sample: relatives who had never experienced a psychiatric episode of depression; relatives who had experienced a psychiatric episode of depression but were currently well; relatives who had never experienced a psychiatric episode of depression but were currently depressed; and relatives who had experienced a past history of depression and were currently depressed. Of the four personality characteristics measured (Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Lie), the only significant effects between groups appeared to be attributable to Neuroticism (N).The strongest association was between current illness and N. There was also a tendency for subjects with a past history of depression to have an inflated N score. However, this appeared to be associated with the presence of current depressive symptomatology. Our findings indicate that when current symptomatology is taken into account Neuroticism does not seem to reflect the trait of liability to depression, but is strongly associated with the state of being depressed.
