1615 – Internal shame: differences between men and women greek roma

Introduction International and Greek literature on Roma psychological features remains exceptionally limited. Objective This study examined the internal shame on Greek Roma. Aim Present study evaluated internal shame in a Roma population living in Greece and assess the differentiation of these feelings between Roma men and women. Materials and methods 361 individuals (125 male and 236 female with mean age 33.96 SD=12.77), residents of the general area of Greece, participated in the present study. The measuring tools used were: a) the Experience of Shame Scale (ESS), b) a questionnaire concerning socio-demographic information. Results The mean of the internal shame (ESS total) was 39.68 ± 10.67 (men), 49.06 ± 14.20 (women) (p= .000). The mean of the behavioral shame was 18.00 ± 5.61 (men), 20.69 ± 6.12 (women) (p= .000). The analysis of variance between age groups showed that age and Educational level did not affect the internal shame in Greek Roma. Marital status had a significant effect on internal shame of Greek Roma where the application of the Bonferonni criterion found that divorced participants demonstrated a statistical significant difference from those with different marital status (p =.009), the latter had lower levels of internal shame. Conclusion Levels of internal shame in the group of Roma women is very high and higher than Roma men and the influence of marital status on the internal shame is important for Greek Roma.

Nursing and medical students’ perceptions of educational environment and their association with hostility dimensions

of the workshop with the underpinning theories and concepts of full team immersive simulation and DS. This was followed by a practical session on the equipment set up. The workshop ended with discussions on the use of DS in simulation-based training, assessment and research. Follow-up consultations were available for the participated institutes. After the workshop, the participants were asked to fill in a short questionnaire for feedback. All participants strongly agreed/agreed that the content of the workshop was adequate and they understood the DS concept better after the workshop. 90% of the participants strongly agreed/agreed the workshop was very useful for people who are interested in DS. 80% of them agreed that the workshop met their expectations and educational goals. In follow-up interviews, participants also revealed the significance of follow-up consultations that help the stakeholders and local technicians to realise their plans in running simulations with the technologies. In conclusion, by using the example of DS, the current interventional programme was feasible and beneficial to the participants. It further reinforces the significance of strategic planning in adopting new technologies and concepts in everyday medical education.
