results 72.6% of the sample reported direct exposure to at least one type of traumatic event, 73.2% reported indirect exposure, and 64.3% reported exposure to trauma at work during the previous 5 years. Those who experienced more different types of direct traumatic events are more inclined to feel uneasy if their colleagues knew about them needing psychological help, more willing to look for help outside of their current employer, more likely to think that their boss might fire them if their need for psychological help became known, and less likely to think that psychological help at work is easily accessible.

background The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships in the family of origin in a sample of mothers who had their first child as teenagers (off-time motherhood). We also sought to answer the following question: are there any differences in the evaluation of relationships between mothers who gave birth to their first child in their teens and those who had their first baby during women’s best fertility age (on-time motherhood)? For women, the optimum reproductive age is anywhere between 20 and 30 years of age.

The aim of the case study was to describe the profile of cognitive and emotional functioning of a patient with possible progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from a longitudinal perspective. This study involved an 71-year-old male patient diagnosed with PSP, and 9 matched healthy subjects. Neuropsychological examination of the patient was performed twice with a 6-month interval. A set of neuropsychological tests was used to assess both cognition and behaviour. Neuropsychological assessment revealed executive dysfunction dominance (planning deficits, reduced cognitive flexibility and abstract thinking, impulsiveness), reduced verbal fluency, psychomotor slowness and problems with memory retrieval from the long-term memory storage in contrast to significantly better recognition of the previ-ously learned information. According to emotional functioning, frontal change of personality was observed, with apathy, disinhibition, lack of insights, impulsiveness and “utilization behaviours”. The profile of emotional and cognitive impairments met the criteria for dementia. There was a progression of deficits at visit two in comparison to visit one. The longitudinal perspective allowed the dynamics of emotional, cognitive and behavioural changes to be described over time: from depression related to initially preserved criticism of the illness to apathy and emotional blunting and behavioural frontal syndrome connected with the systematic loss of insight.

conclusions App-based colouring may be a contemporary timeand cost-effective intervention in reducing anxiety. However, the non-significant increase in mindfulness appears challenging when attempting to justify the results. The effectiveness of colouring apart from mindfulness is seen through potential constructs such as flow, and display a limitation that requires further reflections on guidance to enhance mindfulness through colouring. Future directions are discussed.
