| Abstract: |
The aim of this study was to study the clinical and neurocognitive variables that best explain poor work adjustment in a sample of bipolar I euthymic patients. Eighty-five euthymic patients at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona were assessed for this study by means of a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and a work-focused interview to determine work adjustment. Clinical and sociodemographic variables were also collected. Direct logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of demographic, clinical and neuropsychological variables on the likelihood of presenting poor work adjustment. The model that best fitted contained five variables (Hamilton Depression Rating scores, number of manic episodes, number of perseverative errors in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), number of depressive episodes and Trail Making Test-part B). However, only two out of these variables made a unique statistically significant contribution to the model, which were number of manic episodes (OR 1.401; CI 1.05-1.86; p = 0.021) and number of perseverative errors in the WCST (OR 1.062; CI 1.00-1.12; p = 0.044). The model explained up to 36 % of the variance in work adjustment. This study highlights the role of manic relapses and neurocognitive impairment, specifically the role of executive function, in work adjustment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
