Abstract:
Eighteen long-stay patients from an old county asylum moved into hospital hostels. After 12–24 months, there were significant reductions in overall symptoms, as rated by the CPRS and the Krawiecka scale, as well as in deviant but not general behaviour, rated by the REHAB scale. Six later moved to live in supported accommodation. All relatives and patients who expressed an opinion to an independent assessor were satisfied with their present accommodation or wished to move to more independent living.

Abstract:
The present study concerned an attempt to corroborate the classic findings of Rapaport, Gill, and Schafer in distinguishing mental hospital patients from control subjects, using a new objectively scored word-association test. 12 computer-scored objective scales were used to compare groups of 101 mental hospital inpatients ( n = 75, including 37 on a prison ward) and outpatients ( n = 26) and 101 control subjects matched with the patients for sex, age, racial and ethnic status, and education. A stepwise multiple discrimination analysis of the scores on the 12 scales of the test significantly distinguished the groups. Scales weighted most highly were Masochism, Antonyms, and Aggression. Subsequent t tests suggested that control subjects scored higher on Aggression, Self-reference, and Masochism scales, whereas patients scored higher on Rejections (nonresponses to stimulus words). Of these, only Self-reference and Rejections were items identified by Rapaport, et al.

Abstract:
Background Approximately 46.8 million people are living with dementia worldwide and their number will grow in the next years. Any potential treatment should be administered as early as possible because it is important to provide an early cognitive assessment and to regularly monitor the mental function of patients. Information and communication technologies can be helpful to reach and follow patients without displacing them, but there may be doubts about the reliability of cognitive tests performed by telemedicine. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) tests administered in hospital by videoconference to patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Methods The tests were administered to 28 Alzheimer's disease outpatients (8 male, mean age 73.88, SD 7.45 years; 20 female mean age 76.00, SD 5.40 years) recruited and followed in the Alzheimer’s Unit of the A Cardarelli National Hospital (Naples, Italy) at baseline and after 6, 12, 18, and 24 months of observation. Patients were evaluated first face-to-face by a psychologist and then, after 2 weeks, by another psychologist via videoconference in hospital. Results This study showed no differences in the MMSE and ADAS-cog scores when the tests were administered face-to-face or by videoconference, except in patients with more pronounced cognitive deficits (MMSE<17), in which the assessment via videoconference overestimated the cognitive impairment (face to face, MMSE mean 13.9, SD 4.9 and ADAS-cog mean 9.0, SD 3.8; videoconference, MMSE mean 42.8, SD 12.5 and ADAS-cog mean 56.9, SD 5.5). Conclusions We found that videoconferencing is a reliable approach to document cognitive stability or decline, and to measure treatment effects in patients with mild to moderate dementia. A more extended study is needed to confirm these results.

Abstract:
Historians of the American mental hospital still do not firmly grasp who mental hospital patients were. Although the field's signature debate on the nature of the mental hospital as “repressive” or “humanitarian” involves the characterization of the patients —based on their demographic traits—as victims of repression or beneficiaries of humanitarianism, there has actually not been a thorough demographic analysis of the patients. This article ascertains and examines the defining characteristics of the patient population within the context of that enduring debate. It first identifies demographic groups that were more prone to institutionalization than would have been expected from their susceptibility to insanity. They symbolized the patient population in the late nineteenth century when insanity did not necessarily result in institutionalization. This article then discovers essentially the same demographic groups ended up in mental hospitals in both the hinterland and metropolitan areas of the North from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. It also finds a protective effect that marriage had against institutionalization operated in a socially conservative way. Finally, it weaves together the demographic traits of the patients deemed indicative of the mental hospital's repressiveness and the ones considered reflective of its humanitarianism into a panoptic portrayal that presents the patients as both victims and beneficiaries of the mental hospital. This article's analysis of the patients as a complex, multifaceted population helps transcend the binary framework of the debate on the nature of the mental hospital and deepen our understanding of who they were.

Abstract:
Aims Much has been written about the use of the Mental Health Act in psychiatric settings. There is, however, little written on its use to detain patients with mental disorder in general hospitals. Method and results We therefore carried out a survey of the use of the Mental Health Act in general hospital settings in Aberdeen, and also posted a questionnaire to Scottish Liaison Psychiatrists, asking about their experience of the use of the Mental Health Act in general hospitals. Over a six-month period in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, we identified 39 detentions. Out of hours, the use of Emergency Detention Certificates was more common than use of Short Term Detention Certificates – the latter is recommended by the Mental Welfare Commission, as patients are afforded more rights. When psychiatric staff were not directly involved, procedural and administrative errors were more likely to occur. Liaison psychiatrists elsewhere in Scotland reported similar observations. Conclusion General hospital clinicians are unfamiliar with the Mental Health Act and its use. Errors in its application therefore arise, and are more common when psychiatric staff is not involved. Better education, including the provision of written information and consideration of an electronic system, may improve current practice.

Abstract:
Magister Curationis - MCur
The current debate on knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of medical staff and the broader community towards mentally ill patients across the world is also quite extensive in South Africa. The literature on the subject matter demonstrates poor knowledge of mental illness in the general population and also indicates that people often have stigmatising attitudes towards mental illness. However, while most studies have explored the attitudes, perceptions and behaviour towards mentally ill patients with respect to various staff categories such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologist and the community globally and particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, few studies have extended the analysis to include general assistants. Moreover, little research has been carried out on the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions towards mental illness and mentally ill patients of non-medical staff such as general assistants, who on a daily basis spend time with mentally health care users, ensuring hygiene in psychiatric hospitals in South Africa. This study intended to fill the gap by using a quantitative, descriptive approach encompassing a cross-sectional survey design to identify the level of basic mental health knowledge and determine attitudes and perceptions of general assistants towards mental illness and mentally ill patients in four government funded psychiatric hospitals in Cape Town, South Africa. A random sample of 124 was selected from the general assistants of the four psychiatric hospitals in Cape Town. The results established that the majority of General Assistants (75.6%) in all four psychiatric hospitals demonstrated fair basic mental health knowledge pertaining to mental illness and positive attitudes and perceptions towards mentally ill patients. Although the attitudes and perceptions are mostly positive, item analysis revealed that there are disparities in the results. One third of the general assistants find it stressful to work with mentally ill people. Others displayed frustration (30,1% ), mistrust (52%) and fear(12%). In addition, 82.9% of the general assistants like working with mentally ill people and the majority of the general assistants are comfortable working with mentally ill patients. The recommendation is that basic mental health awareness programmes or in-service training should be implemented for general assistants especially newly appointed general assistants to improve the knowledge and understanding, attitudes and perceptions of general assistants and to reduce fear and negative perceptions and attitudes in order to enhance positive patient experiences.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the transition from hospital to community living for mental health patients and carers. This period presents a number of challenges and risks for patients and the support from family members throughout this period is invaluable. Through further exploration of the discharge process and period, this thesis considers how both patients and carers can be better supported to manage the challenges and increase the likelihood of a successful transition. The first paper is a systematic literature review investigating the predictors of suicide up to a year after discharge from mental health inpatient services. After database and manual searches were complete, thirteen studies met inclusion criteria and were reviewed and critically evaluated. Despite inconsistent findings across studies, the review identified some predictors of post-discharge suicide which have been replicated within and across cultures. Clinical implications in relation to thorough discharge planning and maintaining continuity of care are discussed. The second paper reports on a qualitative exploration of family members’ experiences of the discharge process from inpatient mental health services. Six family members were recruited and interviewed using a semi-structured method. The data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The three phenomenological themes emerging from participants’ accounts indicated that the discharge process was characterised by isolation, fear and exhaustion. The themes are discussed, explored and considered in relation to how services can increase carers’ involvement and strengthen their position in the discharge process. The final paper reflects on insights into the world of carers gained through the research process, with a focus on loss and grief in caring. Comparing the processes of therapy and research, the paper considers how research offered greater freedom to ‘hear’ experiences and the potential advantages of transferring these reflections to the therapy room.

Abstract:
Mental capacity is the ability to understand, reason, and exercise choice by making informed decisions. Acute and/or critical illness may impact upon the decision making abilities of hospitalised adult patients. Assessment of patients for reduced, fluctuating or absent capacity gives the healthcare team the legal authority to assess best interests and to make treatment decisions without consent under this justification. Qualified nurses are the everpresent professional group in acute and critical care settings. They may initiate assessments of mental capacity which may be influential in the ways that the decision making of patients is facilitated or substituted. There are, however, few studies that focus on processes employed by them in this area in fast-moving clinical settings, although it is recognised that physical illness may have a significant impact upon capacity status.

Abstract:
Length of hospital stay (LOS) is a major indicator for measuring efficient care. Intellectually disabled psychiatric patients (IDPP) with chronic medical problems have longer LOS due to challenges faced by providers in jointly managing both psychiatric and medical problems. The purposes of this study were to understand the significance of LOS for IDPP, create an intervention toolkit to reduce LOS, establish the content validity of the toolkit, and recommend its implementation. The items of the toolkit are pharmacology, somatic, rehabilitation, psychosocial, and monitoring patients' psychiatric and medical symptoms across care domains. The toolkit was created from the constructs of the psychiatric rehabilitation process model to jointly mange psychiatric and medical issues. The project question asked if a universal agreement rating will be achieved to establish content validity of the toolkit. Orem's self-care deficit theory was used to guide this study. Ten experts with experience in the clinical, financial, legal, and psycho-social aspects of IDPP care, were recruited from 5 county facilities and asked to participate in the study. The inclusion criteria focused on the experts' leadership roles in those facilities. The experts answered two online quantitative surveys. Survey 1 asked 9 questions and elicited opinions on LOS issues for IDPP. Survey 2 asked the experts to rate the efficacy of the toolkit to reduce LOS for IDPP. Survey 1 finding showed that 8 of 10 experts agreed that LOS for IDPP needed to be reduced. Survey 2 finding showed a universal agreement toolkit rating of 0.84, indicating the experts' readiness to adopt the toolkit to reduce LOS for IDPP. This study has the potential to promote social change by enhancing interdisciplinary and collaborative use of best care processes in psychiatry to reduce LOS and jointly manage psychiatric and medical problems affecting IDPP.

Abstract:
Background: Hospital-based research provides important insight into the burden of suicide behaviour and methods used in deliberate self-harm (DSH). The information on methods used in DSH may be useful to plan suicide-related intervention and prevention programmes. We aimed to investigate the socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with the methods used in DSH at a tertiary hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods: Socio-demographic, clinical and treatment data were collected from 238 consecutive DSH patients who presented for emergency department treatment at the hospital. Univariate analyses and a logistic regression model were used to explore the associations between these variables and violent and non-violent method of DSH. Results: Self-poisoning was the most common method of self-harm (80.3%, n=191). Prescription medication was the most common form of self-poison (57.6%, n=137) while a large number of patients used the non-prescription medication paracetamol (40.9%, n=54). In the bivariate regression analysis, male gender, stating that the reason for DSH was to escape a situation and history of substance use were associated with violent method of DSH. Conclusion: This study contributes to emerging literature on methods used in DSH in South Africa. There is an urgent need to improve monitoring of prescription medication commonly used in DSH. More research on the source of prescription medication and its relationship to DSH is needed. Limiting the quantity and reviewing the packaging of paracetamol available in supermarkets may be effective strategies of means restriction that could be adopted in South Africa. This study underscores the need for increased collaboration between the Department of Social Development and the Department of Health in providing substance use interventions to high-risk population groups.

This thesis aimed to explore systematic health service problems that are related to frequent readmission of persons suffering from severe mental illnesses to Valkenberg Hospital. Reduction of acute and chronic beds in the Associated Psychiatric Hospitals, Western Cape over the past decade has led to increasing pressure for beds and rapid inpatient turnover, many of these inpatients being "
revolving door"
patients. Integration of mental health service into general health services, an intrinsic part of the comprehensive primary health care approach in South Africa, is supposed to make mental health care more accessible the public, therefore research into why patients are being frequently readmitted at secondary specialist level is indicated.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.A. (Clinical psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2012
A number of studies have indicated that help-seeking pathways followed by individuals suffering from mental disorders and other conditions of ill-health are not random, but are structured by a range of psychosocial and cultural factors. The quality and seriousness of the distress provide the impetus to the pathway, but its direction and duration is shaped by the convergence of psychosocial and cultural factors. This study explored the help-seeking pathways followed by patients receiving mental health care services in Polokwane-Mankweng Hospital Complex (PMHC) in Limpopo Province (South Africa). A qualitative approach was followed and participants were selected through purposive sampling. Ten participants (5 males and 5 females) who are receiving mental health care services at PMHC and were apsychotic at the time were recruited to the study. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using content analysis. The following psychological themes emerged from the study: participants’ subjective notions of the events or factors that could have led to their mental illness; their explanations of mental illness; the reasons for entering the mental health care system; the pathways they followed before receiving mental health services in the hospital; concurrent use of hospital mental health services and other services; their experiences of living with mental illness; and, the role of significant others in this regard. The study revealed that various agencies and providers of health care are visited by individuals suffering from mental illness and that there is also some evidence of concurrent use of these services, i.e., Western and African. The findings emphasize that help-seeking pathways are mainly determined by the perceived causes of the illness, which are derived from cultural ideologies.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to examine general loneliness, hospital loneliness, and the patient-physician relationship in regards to their associations with Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) recovery outcome variables (days until engraftment and quality of life). Fifteen (66.7% female, 33.3% male; 93.3% white, 6.7% Black/African American; average age 61.73) individuals who had an allogeneic or autologous BMT at The Mayo Clinic of Jacksonville completed the FACT-BMT, UCLA-Loneliness Scale Version 3, the CARE Measure, and provided disease and treatment information at the 6 month posttransplant date (+/- 30 days). Patients recovering from BMT indicated significantly higher scores of hospital loneliness in comparison to their general loneliness scores. This increase is believed to represent the outcome of experiencing hospital isolation during the post-transplant recovery process. Increases in hospital loneliness were marginally significant in predicting decreases in the patients overall quality of life. The patient physician consultational relationship was found to have a significant relationship with the number of days until engraftment, however the direction of the relationship was opposite the hypothesized direction. This may suggest that engraftment influences the quality of the relationship instead of vice versa. These results imply that there is a relationship between hospital isolation and increases in the amount of loneliness experienced during recovery from a BMT. Loneliness has been found to have a negative relationship with a number of physiological and quality of life outcomes. The present study also elucidates possible correlates with the patient-physician relationship.

AbstractFor more than 20 years I have practiced nursing, first in oncology services, then in palliative care. As a teacher and psychotherapist for the past 10 years, I have had the opportunity to continue working with nursing students in palliative care and psychiatric services, as well as to supervise nursing teams. An ethicist by training, I belong to an ethics committee in a neuropsychiatric hospital. Wearing these different hats gives me the great privilege of encountering patients at the end of life or who suffer from mental illnesses as well as nurses and students who face difficult situations, and to review in the ethics committee clinical situations involving great suffering.The question of euthanasia comes up very regularly and occasions numerous discussions that are both emotional and engaging.

Abstract:
AbstractIn April 2018, the author had an opportunity to visit Al-Rashad Hospital (where the only forensic psychiatry unit in Iraq exists) and he had the chance to meet with the brave psychiatrists and mental health professionals who worked in the oldest psychiatric hospital in Iraq. The author was amazed by how these colleagues operate amidst all challenges, limited financial resources and funding difficulties.The author was impressed by the work of the forensic psychiatry committee which determines the criminal responsibility of a large number of cases from all over Iraq. He had the chance of attending the Ministry of Health’s specialist panel which determines criminal responsibility for mentally disordered detainees. He attended the assessment of a young lady who was remanded on suspicion of killing her 1 year old son (infanticide). The panel and after two interviews concluded that the suspect had autism and learning disability. The patient was deemed irresponsible for her criminal behaviour and she was eventually granted an equivalent of a hospital treatment order.

Abstract:
Specialist forensic mental health (fmh) services are for people with serious mental disorders and grave offending behaviour who tend to be rejected from mainstream services. Although often triggered by single high profile cases, these specialist services are among the best planned and commissioned services in psychiatry, founded in evidence of need, risk and efficacy of interventions. They are grounded in a multidisciplinary clinical perspective and often have integrated academic units. They interface both with other clinical services and with the criminal justice service. Good relationships with the local community are vital for establishment and growth. Secure psychiatric hospitals have two overarching aims: improving health and delivering safety for patients and others. In secure hospitals, patients’ autonomy is limited in a number of important ways: they may not be allowed to leave the hospital at all, may be confined to a particular area within the hospital, and/or treatment may be enforced. Although these restrictions are undoubtedly at least partly in the interests of the patients themselves, they are commonly also in the interests of others. This chapter looks at service structure, including planning principles, principles of assessment, admission criteria, the pathway to treatment, and finally assessing outcomes.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Asthma is a reversible airflow obstruction developed by genetic and environ-mental factors. Several studies revealed that stress could exacerbate the clinical symptoms in patients with asthma. This study aimed to determine the relationship between psychosocial stressors and the asthma control level in adult asthma patients at pulmonology polyclinic, Depok Hospital, West Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at pulmonology polyclinic, Depok Hospital, West Java in 2019. A total of 58 adult asthma patients was selected with consecutive sampling. The dependent variable was the asthma control. The independent variable was the level of the psychosocial stressor. The data were collected using asthma control questionnaires and the Holmes-Rahe Scale for calculating the score of stress events. Data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: The majority of adult asthma patients had moderate to severe psychosocial stressors (63.8%) and partial to fully controlled asthma (53.4%). Level of psychosocial stressor reduced the level of asthma control, and it was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: The level of psychosocial stressor reduces the level of asthma control. Keywords: bronchial asthma, psychosocial stressor, level of controlled Correspondence: Erna Harfiani.

Abstract:
It is no secret that healthcare, in general, has become an increasingly complicated mixture of technical systems, complex processes and intricate skilled human interactions. Patient care processes have followed this same trend. The healthcare industry, itself, has acknowledged that it is fraught with high-risk and error prone processes and cite medication management systems, invasive procedures and diagnostic methods. Complexity represents opportunity for unanticipated events, process failures and undesirable outcomes. Traditionally when a patient care process fails, accountability was focused on the individual clinician error. However, increasing, healthcare is following the lead of other high-risk industries (e.g. chemical, aerospace, nuclear, etc.) that give attention to the characteristics the overall system that contribute to the failure. The focus has shifted to identification of systemic weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Increasing the healthcare industry is using prospective system assessment methods to evaluate the high-risk systems and processes. This paper describes results of collaboration between engineers and community hospitals in Southwest Washington State between 2002 and 2007 in applying prospective system assessment methods to a range of the high-risk healthcare systems and processes. The methods used are Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis and Probabilistic Risk Assessment. The two case studies presented are: 1) an interhospital FMEA on patient transfer and 2) a risk assessment of mental health patients who present themselves in a hospital Emergency Department.
