Interpersonal Community Psychiatric Treatment for non-psychotic chronic patients and nurses in outpatient mental health care: A controlled pilot study on feasibility and effects

In psychiatric care professionals perceive some patients as 'difficult', especially patients with long-term non-psychotic disorders. For these patients few evidence-based treatments exist. An intervention program, Interpersonal Community Psychiatric Treatment (ICPT), was developed by the authors. It was evaluated with the aim to increase effective behaviours by both patients and community psychiatric nurses (CPNs).

A cognitive remediation training for young adults with psychotic disorders to support their participation in education - study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial

Most severe mental disorders have their onset between the age of 17 and 27, a time when many young adults begin participating in secondary or post-secondary education. The cognitive deficits typically associated with psychiatric disorders, especially psychotic disorders, increase the risk of leaving school early, which can lead to a reduction in employment opportunities later on in life and, in turn, a poorer long-term prognosis. Therefore, specific interventions aiming to improve these cognitive functions are needed. Cognitive remediation (CR) aims to improve cognitive functioning and may increase real-world functioning in educational performance. This study aims to examine the feasibility and applicability of a CR training named Mindset for students with psychotic disorders in the Netherlands.

Somatic care utilization and needs for somatic health care of patients with Severe Mental Illness

Aim: Research has revealed higher risks of somatic problems among patients with non-affective psychotic disorders (NAPD) compared to the general population. The aim of this study was to examine whether NAPD patients also show increased somatic health care utilization compared to personally-matched controls without a psychiatric diagnosis and patients with unipolar depression, anxiety disorder or bipolar disorder. Methods: Data from a large Health Insurance agency were used to analyze prescribed somatic medication, general practitioner consultations, and treatment by a somatic specialist. Results: Patients with NAPD showed serious somatic under treatment, which was associated with older age and longer illness duration. Conclusion: In view of the high risk on natural death causes among patients with NAPD, our data indicate under treatment for physical disorders, especially at older age and with longer duration of the mental disorder.

Risk factors and oral health-related quality of life

What does this paper add to existing knowledge? • This study provides insight into the severity of the problem. It demonstrates the differences in risk factors and OHRQoL between patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (first-episode) and the general population. • A negative impact on OHRQoL is more prevalent in patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (first-episode) (14.8%) compared to the general population (1.8%). • Patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (first-episode) have a considerable increase in odds for low OHRQoL compared to the general population, as demonstrated by the odds ratio of 9.45, which supports the importance of preventive oral health interventions in this group. What are the implications for practice? • The findings highlight the need for oral health interventions in patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (first-episode). Mental health nurses, as one of the main health professionals supporting the health of patients diagnosed with a mental health disorder, can support oral health (e.g. assess oral health in somatic screening, motivate patients, provide oral health education to increase awareness of risk factors, integration of oral healthcare services) all in order to improve the OHRQoL.

Perspectives of underweight people with eating disorders on receiving Imagery Rescripting trauma treatment: a qualitative study of their experiences

"A proportion of those with eating disorders have also experienced traumatic events and ongoing symptoms of PTSD such as re-experiencing of the trauma and nightmares. We implemented an innovative trauma intervention called Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) to explore whether for those undergoing inpatient treatment for an eating disorder (in an underweight phase), it would be possible to treat the various trauma-related symptoms as well as the eating problems. Since this has not been investigated before, we asked the participants in this study to recount their experiences. Twelve participants who were underweight, reported a past history of trauma and were in an inpatient eating disordertreatment program participated in ImRs therapy intervention. One of these participant did not engage in the ImRs therapy because she discontinued the inpatient ED treatment. Analysis of interviews with these participants found that -although they were reluctant before the start of the treatment- the ImRs treatment during their inpatient admission had given them hope again. They added that it was important to have support from group members, sociotherapists and therapists. They shared a number of ways that the ImRs treatment could be adapted to people with eating disorders. Their experiences indicated that given these factors it was possible to treat PTSD during an underweight phase. This is important: until now, treatment for eating disorders has not specifically been trauma-focused and these tips have scope to improve the ImRs intervention and eating disorder treatment more broadly in the future."

Somatic health care utilization by patients treated for substance use disorders

From Narcis.nl :" Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) are frequently suffering from co-occurring somatic disorders, increasing the risk of mortality. Somatic health care utilization (sHCU) often remains unknown to the physician during SUD treatment. This paper analyses sHCU and associated costs among patients in SUD treatment compared to matched, non-substance dependent controls. METHODS: Health care utilization data on 4972 SUD patients were matched to 19,846 controls by gender, birth year and ethnic origin. Subcategories of patients were formed based on SUD and on co-morbid psychiatric disorder. Data on sHCU during the year prior to the last treatment contact (the 'index date') for both patients and their matched controls were extracted from a health insurance database. RESULTS: Patients had a higher sHCU (with increased associated costs) than controls, especially when alcohol dependence was involved. In particular, sHCU for cardiovascular, respiratory, infectious diseases, injuries and accidents was increased among patients. However, the use of preventive medication, such as lipid-lowering drugs, is lower among SUD patients. Co-morbidity of psychiatric disorders led to further increase of sHCU, whereas patients with comorbid non-affective psychotic disorder (NAPD) showed lower sHCU and costs. CONCLUSION: Patients with SUD overall have a high sHCU, associated with high costs. There are indications that SUD patients have less access to preventive medication. Patients with comorbid NAPD are at risk of possible underutilization of somatic health care. Furthermore, we conclude that these larger administrative databases allow for comparisons between various diagnostic categories."

Recurrent suicide attempts in patients with depressive and anxiety disorders: The role of borderline personality traits

Let op het is Open Access maar met speciale Elsevier user rights, zie https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/open-access-licenses/elsevier-user-license Background The presence of a comorbid borderline personality disorder (BPD) may be associated with an increase of suicidal behaviors in patients with depressive and anxiety disorders. The aim of this study is to examine the role of borderline personality traits on recurrent suicide attempts. Methods The Netherlands Study on Depression and Anxiety included 1838 respondents with lifetime depressive and/or anxiety disorders, of whom 309 reported at least one previous suicide attempt. A univariable negative binomial regression analysis was performed to examine the association between comorbid borderline personality traits and suicide attempts. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for the number of recurrent suicide attempts in four clusters (type and severity of axis-I disorders, BPD traits, determinants of suicide attempts and socio-demographics). Results In the total sample the suicide attempt rate ratio increased with 33% for every unit increase in BPD traits. A lifetime diagnosis of dysthymia and comorbid BPD traits, especially the symptoms anger and fights, were independently and significantly associated with recurrent suicide attempts in the final model (n=309). Limitations The screening of personality disorders was added to the NESDA assessments at the 4-year follow-up for the first time. Therefore we were not able to examine the influence of comorbid BPD traits on suicide attempts over time. Conclusions Persons with a lifetime diagnosis of dysthymia combined with borderline personality traits especially difficulties in coping with anger seemed to be at high risk for recurrent suicide attempts. For clinical practice, it is recommended to screen for comorbid borderline personality traits and to strengthen the patient's coping skills with regard to anger.

Collaborative Care for Patients With Severe Personality Disorders: Analyzing the Execution Process in a Pilot Study (Part II)

Purpose To examine the factors that influence the effective execution of a collaborative care program (CCP) for patients with severe personality disorders. Design and Methods A multiple case study using qualitative research methods. Findings Three factors were identified as influencing the execution process: (a) the context in which the CCP was executed, (b) the patient population, and (c) the individual application of the CCP by nurses. +Practice Implications The prominent position of mental health nurses in complex intervention programs such as CCPs poses new challenges for them in making these programs work. A CCP could be a useful intervention for patients with severe personality disorders because it offers the necessary structure in treatment.

Collaborative Care for Patients With Severe Personality Disorders: Preliminary Results and Active Ingredients From a Pilot Study (Part I)

PURPOSE: To test if a collaborative care program (CCP) with nurses in a coordinating position is beneficial for patients with severe personality disorders. DESIGN AND METHODS: A pilot study with a comparative multiple case study design using mixed methods investigating active ingredients and preliminary results. FINDINGS: Most patients, their informal caregivers, and nurses value (parts of) the CCP positively; preliminary results show a significant decrease in severity of borderline symptoms. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: With the CCP,we may expand the supply of available treatments for patients with (severe) personality disorders, but a larger randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirmour preliminary results.
