Almås, E.E.P. Benestad, R. Pristed Institute of psychosocial health, Department of health and Sports Sciences, University of Agder, Kristiansand, NORWAY Objective: The objective is to describe the Norwegian SAR/SSA as a version of the original SAR. Design and Method: SAR is an acronym for Sexual Attitude Reassessment and Structuring, a name for a training event developed by Ted McIlvenna and Laird Sutton in San Francisco in the 1970´s. SAR is part of professional education in sexology, and is a requirement for certification at American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). In the Nordic countries SAR has been adapted and renamed as SSA (Sexual Self Acknowledgement) based on a realization that the culture has changed since the 1970´s, and other requirements are necessary. There is less focus on explicit erotic films, as this has become a common experience by most people in the Nordic countries, and more focus on own attitudes, prejudices, and knowledge about sexual expressions. Results: There is no unified version of the Nordic SAR/SSA, but there is a requirement by the Nordic Association for Clinical Sexology to have had 25 hours SAR/SSA for authorization as Specialist in Sexological Counselling, and 48 hours SAR/SSA for authorisation as Specialist in Clinical Sexology. The Norwegian version of SAR/SSA is an ongoing process over two years, integrated in a further education program of 60 ECTS at the University of Agder. This process focuses on development of sex positivity, comfortability with different sexual cultures and subcultures, development of active empathy, and avoidance of burn-out. Conclusions: The elements of the Norwegian SAR/SSA will be presented SEXUALITY AND MENTAL DISEASE: PSYCHOEDUCATION INTERVENTION IN EGAS MONIZ DAY HOSPITAL E. Morbeck 1, J. Estrela 2, C. Silva 3 1 Red Cross Hospital, Lisbon, PORTUGAL, 2 Egas Moniz Hospital, Lisbon, PORTUGAL, 3 ISCTE IUL, Lisbon, PORTUGAL Objective: Needs assessment in the field of sexual intervention from the perspective of mental health professionals and patients; Planning and implementation of a psychoeducation intervention in the context of sexuality in line with the needs previously identified. Design and Method: This study was conducted with a convenience sample of 6 mental health professionals and 18 patients in the Psychiatric Day Hospital Egas Moniz. Following authorization of the Hospital Scientific Commission, and participants’ informed consent, a General Questionnaire and the Inventory about Sexuality Themes (IST) (Morbeck & Estrela, 2014) were implemented on a voluntary base. Results: Results of IST showed that both groups, professionals and patients, considered important to address the following topics: prescription drugs and sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, violence and sexual harassment, sexual orientation, contraception, expression of affectivity. In addition, only the patients considered important to address sexual dysfunction and love. Based on the needs assessment, 4 psychoeducation group sessions were planned and implemented with the Day Hospital patients to establish objectives and group dynamic, to identify additional needs, to approach and clarify two topics previously identified as relevant and to clarify doubts and to consolidate the recently acquired knowledge. Conclusions: It was concluded that intervention in the area of sexuality is needed. Moreover, psychoeducation method allows, through a context of sharing and participation, to inform and to clarify patients’ doubts in the area of sexuality. Psychoeducation sessions function as a catalyst prompting the patients to approach negative experiences about sexuality in the context of individual psychotherapy. - 1 - Therefore, sessions efficiently complemented the psychotherapy intervention.

Counselling and treatment should started DEPRESSIVE MOOD AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS IMPROVEMENT: A VALUABLE OUTCOME OF PENILE PROSTHESES FOR SEVERE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION A. Dias-Amaral 1, A. Marques-Pinto 2, M. Castanheira de Oliveira 2, N. Louro 2, La Fuente de Carvalho 2 1 Centro Hospitalar de São João, Psychiatry and Mental Health Clinic, Porto, PORTUGAL, 2 Centro Hospitalar e Universitário do Porto, Urology Department, Porto, PORTUGAL Objective: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent entity with a biopsychosocial impact requiring a complete assessment and a personalized treatment. However, although different therapeutic approaches can be used and associated, approximately 10% of patients do not respond to medical treatment. Hopelessness and despair can then become apparent. Penile prostheses are safe and a valuable treatment option for those who do not respond to other treatments. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of penile prostheses on depressive symptoms. Design and Method: Interview with patients who underwent penile prosthesis implantation between January/2011 and December/2017 at Centro Hospitalar e Universitário do Porto, using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scales (HAM-D). Exclusion criteria comprise previous psychiatric disorders, major life events or starting anxiolytics/antidepressants after surgery. Statistical analysis was performed on STATA™13.1, through paired t-tests and Wilcoxon tests. Results: During this period, 17 penile prostheses were implanted. We interviewed 14 individuals (three were excluded) with 60±7 years old and 32±18 months of follow-up. Regarding the HAM-D score, there was a 54,3% reduction from baseline (p=0.01). At baseline, owing to ED, 81.8% had mild to moderate depressive symptoms. After the procedure, 72.7% had a score within the normal range (<8), meaning no depression according to the screening test (p=0.01). - 2 - Subscales Suicidal Thoughts, Depressed Mood, General Somatic Symptoms and Genital Symptoms have all significantly improved (p<0.05). Global satisfaction with the prosthesis was 91.7%. There were no significant differences adjusting for age, comorbidities, and follow-up time. Conclusions: In selected patients, penile prostheses prompt high satisfaction levels and greatly contribute to lessen ED-related depressive symptoms. Oral Papers 2 ALTERNATIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUAL BEHAVIORS CONSENSUAL NON-MONOGAMY: A SCALE ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION, PRELIMINARY PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH RELATED CONSTRUCTS D. Lopes, D. Rodrigues ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon, PORTUGAL Objective: Research on consensual non-monogamy (CNM) has been focusing on predictors and outcomes of CNM behaviour, and less on CNM attitudes and intentions, especially from individuals who never engaged in this type of behaviour. At the measurement level few studies report full psychometric analyses of scales addressing attitudes and intentions towards CNM. We adapted and validated a CNM scale that taps attitudes and intentions and relationship type of individuals that have or have not previously been involved in CNM behaviors. Also, we determined the scale sensibility and convergent/discriminant validity regarding other constructs, namely sexual boredom, sexual self-control, and intentions towards infidelity. Design
