Abstract:

An audit of case notes and a survey of in-patients was carried out to evaluate risk assessment on an in-patient ward. We found considerable inconsistencies between the risk assessment records in medical and nursing notes. A systematic survey found higher levels of risk than either set of notes, but combining the notes improved the quality of risk assessment compared to the survey. We suggest three key areas for action to improve risk assessment.

Abstract:

The UK and Scottish Governments are pledging investment for maternal and infant mental health services. Nurses taking on advanced nursing roles within these developing services need to be aware of the specific risks that pertain to the perinatal period. A plethora of professional reports and women's lived experience have identified a lack of understanding to their needs and poor communication between health professionals, highlighting the need for robust risk assessments. New documentation was developed by NHS Forth Valley, with an embedded risk assessment to be used by all mental health services. An audit of 50 cases in perinatal services using the new documentation was measured against the standards for risk assessment set by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Just under half of the women who were assessed did not have risks identified and for those who did, the majority of risks scored as low. The free text clinical notes of the risks on the new documentation identified specific risks to the mother, unborn child/infant and others.

Abstract:

The city of Chicago offers publicly funded preschool education to 20,000 3- and 4-year-olds through its State Pre-Kindergarten program. The students attend some 300 schools, and their health needs are monitored by 11 nurses and 8 aides. In the last several years, the nursing coordinator recognized the need to improve the mental health assessment skills of the school nurses. To that end, a relationship was developed with a child psychiatric nurse who had expertise in assessing young children’s behaviors, particularly in the context of the classroom milieu. The collaboration of the school nurse and mental health nurse-consultant was structured as one-on-one sessions, each focusing on a particular child. A case is presented to illustrate the assessment method and accompanying suggestions for early intervention strategies. The case also points out how school nurses can structure assessments of at-risk children that lead to classroom-based interventions.

Abstract:

Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) often suffer from more than physical ailments when seeking care and treatment. Some of these patients have emotional ailments and suicidal ideation when they come to the local ED. The lack of recognition of at-risk patients by health care providers can lead to poor patient outcomes and death. The focus of this project was to understand which valid and reliable suicide assessment tools described in the literature were considered the best evidence-based instruments to identify ED patients who were at risk for suicide. Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations guided this project. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to assess tools that were used for the identification of at-risk patients. Analysis of the included literature was conducted using Melnyk's levels of evidence and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses tool to catalog the articles retrieved. Ten articles were included in the study. Final analysis of the articles identified the need for 100% of patients to be assessed for suicide risk upon arrival at the ED. The instrument identified to meet the need for the local organization was the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Screening tool. The findings of this project might promote social change by providing insights into best practice assessment tools to support improved assessment of suicide risk for ED patients.

Abstract:

Workplace violence is a persistent problem in health care, and incidence rates have increased over the years. Traditional reporting systems, relying mostly on paper formats, are inadequate for developing effective predictive models for intervention and reducing acts of violence by patients to staff. The purpose of the development and deployment of the psychiatric emergency response team (PERT) was to provide effective intervention within the MIAHTAPS (Altered Mental status, Irritability, Agitation, History of Violence, Threatening, Attacking Objects, Pacing, and Staring) behavior prediction tool to reduce the severity and rates of violence in a hospital setting. Lewin's change theory was used to implement the necessary cultural change for effective deployment of PERT and MIAHTAPS. MIAHTAPS, with PERT as an integral component, was used by the primary nurse on admission and during every care shift to assess patients' potential for violence. Pre- and post- intervention assessments were completed to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Quantitative and open-ended question responses from 200 nurse participants, who completed the 2 online surveys, were analyzed using descriptive and frequency distributions. Findings from the project showed that nurses could identify patient potential for violence and recognize how to diffuse situations effectively 34% of the time, compared to 14% before PERT. A post-implementation survey showed that 75% of the nurses found the MIAHTAPS and PERT system useful and easy to use. Having an easy-to-use tool that helps to identify potential for violence will help hospital and other workplace staff to develop and implement preventive interventions and as a result promote positive social change.

Abstract:

Mental-health risk assessment practice in the UK is mainly paper-based, with little standardisation in the tools that are used across the Services. The tools that are available tend to rely on minimal sets of items and unsophisticated scoring methods to identify at-risk individuals. This means the reasoning by which an outcome has been determined remains uncertain. Consequently, there is little provision for: including the patient as an active party in the assessment process, identifying underlying causes of risk, and eecting shared decision-making. This thesis develops a tool-chain for the formulation and deployment of a computerised clinical decision support system for mental-health risk assessment. The resultant tool, GRiST, will be based on consensual domain expert knowledge that will be validated as part of the research, and will incorporate a proven psychological model of classication for risk computation. GRiST will have an ambitious remit of being a platform that can be used over the Internet, by both the clinician and the layperson, in multiple settings, and in the assessment of patients with varying demographics. Flexibility will therefore be a guiding principle in the development of the platform, to the extent that GRiST will present an assessment environment that is tailored to the circumstances in which it nds itself. XML and XSLT will be the key technologies that help deliver this exibility.

Abstract:

The decisions made by Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) are of utmost significance for providing the highest quality care to service users. The assessment of risk is one of the pivotal processes that MHPs undertake frequently, as per government policy guidelines, and in order to safeguard patients and the public. Although Risk Assessment Proformas (RAPs) consume a proportion of MHP time and resources, very little research has been undertaken to address factors that might affect their most optimal utilisation in practice. Previous literature suggests that medical decisions, like decision making of other kinds, is fraught with difficulty including being susceptible to the influence of cognitive biases, pre-decisional affect, overconfidence, and subjectively held attitudes towards organisational policies and regulations. Specifically, the presentation of risk information can influence decisions. It has also been suggested that anxiety has the capacity to elicit risk aversive responses, and that overconfidence and negative attitude may lead to complacency in undertaking policy-led responsibilities and produce non-compliance for the same. However, much of what is known about medical decision making has been gleaned from outside of context of mental health. As such, the current programme of research aimed to explore decision making in mental health settings and with a view to raise awareness of the complexity of decision making amongst MHPs. The implementation of quantitative and qualitative techniques (studies 1 and 2) revealed negative attitudes from psychiatrists towards Risk Assessment Proformas (RAPs), which are essentially structured decision making aids. Psychiatrist, compared to other MHPs, spent less time completing RAPs, which may reflect their differing attitudes towards their usefulness, something that was consistently emphasised during in-depth qualitative exploration. It was also found that experience was an additional differentiating factor between MHPs. Relationships between experience and other factors such as anxiety, confidence and complacency were found via conversations with MPHs, experience members of staff being less inclined to provide comprehensive and detailed accounts of service user risk in RAPs. This is problematic since although there is, in the UK, a policy led requirement that RAPs are completed for each service user, it is clear that there are inter-professional variations in how RAPs are being used and this acts to inhibit the best information sharing between all those involved in patient care. Following previous work in the area of cognitive bias and its influence upon general and medical decisions, a clinical vignette was also developed (study 3) to establish whether the presentation of risk information influences psychiatric admission decisions. The current findings supported previous work in that decisions were susceptible to the framing effect. The findings here, and previously in the literature, reveal a necessity for MHPs to be informed of bias in decision making in an attempt to improve objectivity in risk assessment practices. The unearthing of the framing effect also further signals the need for proper use of RAPs, where many MHPs may not be using them to their full potential - i.e. an aid to the systematic consideration of a range of information about a service user. The final part of the thesis (study 4) turned to the piloting of an educational module incorporating content around the factors affecting decision making in an attempt to raise awareness amongst MHPs. The rationale being better awareness of the complexity of decision making may act to enhance decision making processes. Pre and post intervention analyses revealed an improvement of baseline to follow-up knowledge of decision making bias and statistical concepts and this knowledge was maintained to a moderate level at four weeks follow-up. Although individuals maintained their susceptibility to the framing effect, the bias was less prevalent in those who knew of its presence before taking part in the study. Overall the findings give some support to the use of education as an approach to raising awareness about decision making processes in MHPs, although what remains to be seen is whether such education acts to bring about changes in behaviour - for example, different use of RAPs. The PhD programme suggests that MHPs are just as susceptible to cognitive biases, such as the framing effect, as has been demonstrated in both general population and other groups of health practitioners. At the same time, attitudes to RAPs differ depending on exact job role, which psychiatrist being least likely to spend time on their completion and reporting them as a tool for noting decisions reached as opposed to an aid to the process. This acts reduce the quality and quantity of reported information shared with colleagues about a service user. It is possible that MHP behaviour aligns with general attitude-behaviour models, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour. As such, whilst the current work has demonstrated that educational interventions may act to improve awareness of decision making processes and their influences, further research would benefit from considering if these types of approach affect actual behaviour. For example, improved used of RAPs as decision-aids, reduced susceptibility to framing effects, consciousness around how information is represented in RAPs given knowledge of how the information may be used by others.

Abstract:

Millions of people in the United States are living with a serious mental illness or substance abuse disorder. These individuals suffer from a high rate of medical co-morbidities. Because of this, patients hospitalized on medical-surgical units for medical reasons often are living with psychiatric/substance abuse co-morbidities, which are not addressed during their medical hospital admission. These patients can be perceived as difficult and even dangerous by nurses who have not received training or education in mental health care. The purpose of this project is to measure medical-surgical nurse’s perceptions of their abilities to recognize psychiatric/substance abuse symptoms and their perception of self-competency to provide appropriate interventions. This project utilized the Behavioral Health Care Competency (BHCC) instrument to measure hospital nurse perceptions of behavioral healthcare competency to determine if additional education and training are needed. The BHCC tool was administered to 19 nurses working on two medical-surgical units in Southern Arizona. Findings support the need for educational intervention, especially in the areas of psychotropic medication recommendation and intervention for patients experiencing hallucinations.

Abstract:

Background: Few forensic mental health facilities in South Africa use formal risk assessment instruments to monitor risk and recovery of forensic state patients. The study set out to examine the usefulness of the therapeutic alliance as a proxy measure of violent recidivism in a forensic state facility. The study proposed that the nature and strength of the therapeutic alliance is associated with risk of violence in a forensic population and that attachment security is a relevant factor in this relationship. Additional related factors were studied including demographic and contextual data and their influence on the alliance and risk. Design and method: A quantitative research method was used to sample both inpatients and outpatients (n=131) using a naturalistic, cross-sectional research design. Statistical analyses focussed on regression modelling and addressed mainly the statistical associations between ratings of the different variables. Various psychometric tests were administered and scored and entered into a database. It was hypothesised that a strong (positive) therapeutic relationship measured with the Dual- role Relationship Inventory-Revised (DRI-R) questionnaire is associated with low risk for violence using the Historical, Clinical, Risk Management (HCR-20) scale. Findings: Essentially there was a direct association between the therapeutic alliance and violent recidivism, that is, men with a strong therapeutic alliance have lower risk for violent behaviour. Key practitioner type was considered to be highly influential in establishing positive alliances and as a mediator of potential violent recidivism. An insecure attachment style was dominant in the study sample and insecure states of mind partially influenced current therapeutic alliances with an associated increased vulnerability for violence. Positive psychotic symptoms remained a high-risk factor for violence and criminal histories and antisocial behaviour may continue to present a risk for recidivism in the absence of psychosis. Conclusion: Violent recidivism can be adequately monitored by the DRI-R. Affiliation and control are not mutually exclusive in forensic mental health care. Addressing attachment deficits prevalent in this population may be useful in informing both risk and recovery. Symptom reduction remains an important aim in treatment and risk management. Ratings of the alliance by practitioners and how it concurs with risk is an area for further research. Key words: Therapeutic alliance, dual-role relationship, risk assessment, violence, attachment, state patients, recovery

Abstract:

This thesis examines how women with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) negotiate their identity in relation to risk, also referred to as their ‘risk identity’. This is defined as, ‘…the view people have of themselves and project to others in their talk and actions in relation to risk and risk taking’. The theoretical perspective which underpins the study is informed by ontological realism, epistemological discursive/linguistic social constructionism, and an ideological critical liberatory position primarily derived from the work of Foucault (1978; 1991a; 1991b; 1998; 2002; 2008a; 2008b; 2009). This perspective informed the decision to adopt email interviews as a method for generating appropriate texts for analysis. Eight women diagnosed with BPD were interviewed over a period of ten months. Adopting a critical emancipatory methodology which incorporated feminist principles of research, Lather’s (1991) adaptation of Van Maanen’s (1988 cited in Lather 1991) ‘four tales’ was employed to view and analyse the texts from four theoretical perspectives; a ‘Realist Tale’, a ‘Critical Tale’, a ‘Deconstructivist Tale’, and a ‘Reflexive Tale’. By ‘layering’ these tales, the findings revealed sets of tensions discernable within the context of interactions with staff, the nature of services, and the wider material and discursive resources at play which inform how risk identities are negotiated. Converging Western discourses of the subject, binary gender discourse, neoliberal discourse, ‘psy’ discourses, and discourses around motherhood were found to be key discursive resources through which risk identity is produced, resisted and projected. In addition these to broad discursive findings, the study also contributes to the existing empirical literature that focuses on the lived experience of those with a BPD diagnosis. A conclusion is drawn that women with a BPD diagnosis not only receive a label which discursively excludes them from being able to be viewed as a ‘good subject of psychiatry’ (and hence leads to them being viewed as dangerous and risky), but that their difficulties and need for relational approaches to manage risk and promote recovery run counter to the way that mental health services are structured in the current neoliberal era.

Abstract:

Aims: Q-LAMP aims to identify risk factors and resilience factors for symptoms of psychiatric illness during the pandemic. Study strengths include the 1-year longitudinal design and the use of standardized instruments already available in English and Arabic. The results will increase understanding of the impact of the pandemic on mental health for better support of the population during the pandemic and in future epidemics. Until an effective vaccine is available or herd immunity is achieved, countries are likely to encounter repeated ‘waves’ of infection. The identification of at-risk groups for mental illness will inform the planning and delivery of individualized treatment including primary prevention. Methodology: Longitudinal online survey; SMS-based recruitment and social media platforms advertisements e.g. Facebook, Instagram; Online consent; Completion time for questionnaires: approx. 20 to 30 minute; Baseline questionnaire with follow up at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months; Study completion date: Sept. 2021. Inclusion criteria: Currently living in Qatar; Qatari residents: citizens and expatriates; Age 18 years; read Arabic or English (questionnaire and consent form available in both languages). Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire including personal and family experience of COVID-19 infection; Standard instruments to assess psychiatric morbidity including depression, anxiety and PTSD; research team-designed instruments to assess social impact of pandemic; standard questionnaires to assess resilience, personality, loneliness, religious beliefs and social networks. Results: The analysis was based on 181 observations. Approximately, 3.5% of the sample was from the sms-recruitment method. The sample of completed surveys consisted of 65.0% females and 35.0% males. Qatari respondents comprised 27.0% of the total sample, while 52% of the sample were married, 25% had Grade 12 or lower level of educational attainment, and 46.0% were unemployed. Covid-19 appears to have affected different aspects of people’s lives from personal health to living arrangements, employment, and health of family and friends. Approximately, 41% to 55% of those who responded to the survey perceived changes in their stress levels, mental health, and loneliness to be worse than before the pandemic. Additionally, the wide availability of information about the pandemic on the internet and social media was perceived as source of pandemic-related worries among members of the public. Conclusion: The continued provision of mental health service and educational campaigns about effective stress and mental health management is warranted.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Geriatric depression is a mental and emotional disorder affecting older adults. Social support is an important factor known to moderate the deleterious effects of stress in elderly. This study aimed to determine factors affecting depression symptom in the elderly using PRECEDE PROCEED model. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 200 elderly was selected for this study by cluster random sampling. The dependent variable was depression. The independent variables were gender, marital status, residence, education, family support, and peer support. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple linear regression run on Stata 13. Results: The risk of depression in elderly increased with female (b= 5.53; 95% CI= 3.38 to 7.70; p<0.001), unmarried (b= 4.15; 95% CI=1.36 to 6.95; p= 0.004), and living at nursing home (b= 8.16; 95% CI= 5.26 to 11.06; p<0.001). The risk of depression decreased with high education (b= -5.51; 95% CI= -7.49 to -3.51; p<0.001), strong peer support (b= -2.75; 95% CI= -4.92 to -0.58; p= 0.013), and strong family support (b= -5.02; 95% CI= -7.96 to -2.09; p<0.001). Conclusion: The risk of depression in elderly increases with female, unmarried, and living at nursing home. The risk of depression decreases with high education, strong peer support, and strong family support. Keywords: depression, elderly Correspondence: Zela Tunurrohmin.

Abstract:

Objective. Prior studies documenting more frequent and problematic use among young adults who have acquired medical marijuana (MM) cards have broadly compared those who use medically to those who use recreationally. Gaining a better picture of how health symptoms and problematic use vary both within those who have a MM card for specific condition domains and between those who do not have a MM card, can provide key information for medical practitioners and states interested in adopting or updating MM policies. Method. The current study categorizes young adults authorized to use MM into four mutually exclusive groups based on endorsements of qualifying conditions: (1) Physical Health only; (2) Mental Health only; (3) Sleep only; and (4) Multiple Conditions. Analysis of covariance examined differences across marijuana use, problems, mental and physical health, and sleep for MM condition categories, and for those that only use marijuana recreationally. Results. MM card holders, particularly those with physical health or multiple health conditions, reported heavier, more frequent, and more problematic and risky marijuana use compared to those using recreationally. Despite this pattern, those in different MM condition categories were generally not found to be more symptomatic in domains of functioning relevant to their respective conditions, compared to different category groups or to those using recreationally. Conclusions. Findings emphasize the importance of providers conducting a careful assessment of reasons for needing a card, along with use, to reduce potential harms while adding credibility to a medical movement with genuine promise of relief for many medical conditions.

Abstract:

Adolescence is a critical period of development which can be affected by the initiation and escalation of marijuana use. Examining risk factors of marijuana misuse among adolescents is a public health priority. Previous research examining depression and anxiety as risk factors for marijuana use among young adults is mixed. Some studies found a positive relationship between mental health symptoms and marijuana use, while other studies have found gender-specific relationships or no relationship at all. Despite this research, little is known regarding mental health symptoms and marijuana use among adolescents. The aims of current analysis were to 1) examine associations between mental health symptoms and marijuana use behavior among adolescents, and 2) examine coping motives as a moderator of the relationship between mental health symptoms and marijuana outcomes. The current study included 170 late adolescents (15-18 years old, Mage = 16.86, SDage = 0.94, 50% female) recruited from Washington State. The sample was stratified by gender and marijuana use such that participants ranged from never using marijuana to reporting heavy, regular marijuana use. Participants were asked to complete three online assessments over the course of six months. Data described here come from the first online assessment. This included a 4-item measure of mental health symptoms (depression and anxiety) in the past 2 weeks, in addition to measures of marijuana use, marijuana-related consequences, and marijuana use motives. A series of initial linear regression models that controlled for age and sex found that mental health symptoms were not significantly associated with typical marijuana use (p > .05) but were significantly positively associated with marijuana-related consequences (β = 0.33, p < .001). Additional models that also included coping motives found that stronger endorsement of using marijuana to cope with negative affect was associated with more hours high in a typical week (β = 0.25, p < .05) and more marijuana-related consequences (β = 0.24, p < .05). There were no significant interactions between coping motives and mental health symptoms in predicting either marijuana use or consequences (ps > .05). The findings suggest that adolescents who report more mental health symptoms do not necessarily use more marijuana than those who report fewer symptoms, but may be at greater risk for experiencing negative consequences as a result of their usage. Additionally, the results suggest a stronger endorsement of using marijuana to cope with negative affect is related to greater marijuana use and risk for experiencing negative consequences. No evidence of moderation was found suggesting the relationships between mental health symptoms and marijuana use outcomes do not vary as a function of coping motives. Screening during adolescence for early signs of mental health symptoms to predict risk may be beneficial towards preventing negative outcomes and providing early interventions for marijuana misuse.

Abstract:

Background: Social support is an interpersonal relationship where the social environment provides assistance in the form of emotional attention, instrumental assistance, providing information, appreciation or assessment to individual sufferers. Lack of social support will lead to a decline in physical and mental conditions, so that it can cause a person to be lazy to carry out routine daily self-care activities, as a result people with HIV/AIDS do not adhere to treatment programs. If people with HIV/AIDS do not regularly take anti-retroviral (ARV) for a long time, it will greatly affect the quality of life of people with HIV/AIDS. This study aims to examine the effect of social support on quality of life in people with HIV/AIDS. Subject and Method: Meta analysis was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines on article with randomized controlled trial design which published in 2000-2020. The meta-analysis was carried out by systematically reviewing articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Springer Link. The articles used in this research are articles that have been published from 2010-2020. The keywords to find this article are as follows: “social support” AND “quality of life” OR “risk factor” AND “quality of life” OR “quality of life” AND “randomized controlled trial”. Articles are collected using the PRISMA diagram, and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results: There were 6 articles were reviewed in this study which met the criteria. Studies show that social support (OR = 3.14; 95% CI = 1.42 to 6.91; p <0.001) improves quality of life. Conclusion: Social support improves quality of life in people with HIV / AIDS. Keywords: social support, quality of life, people living with HIV / AIDS. Correspondence: Maria Regina Tri Yonita, Master Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl. Ir.

Abstract:

Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) and depression are important comorbid conditions that can lead to more serious health outcomes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) supports routine screening for depression as part of standard diabetes management. The PHQ2 and PHQ9 questionnaires are good diagnostic screening tools used for major depressive disorders in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This quality improvement study aims to compare the rate of depression screening, treatment, and referral to behavioral health in adult patients with DM2 pre and post-integration of depression screening tools into the electronic health record (EHR). Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review on patients aged 18 years and above with a diagnosis of DM2 and no initial diagnosis of depression or other mental illnesses. Chart reviews included those from 2018 or prior for before integration data and 2020 to present for after integration. Sixty subjects were randomly selected from a pool of 33,695 patients in the clinic with DM2 from the year 2013-2021. Thirty of the patients were prior to the integration of depression screening tools PHQ2 and PHQ9 into the EHR, while the other half were post-integration. The study population ranged from 18-83 years old. Results All subjects (100%) were screened using PHQ2 before integration and after integration. Twenty percent of patients screened had a positive PHQ2 among subjects before integration, while 10% had a positive PHQ2 after integration. Twenty percent of patients were screened with a PHQ9 pre-integration which accounted for 100% of those subjects with a positive PHQ2. However, of the 10% of patients with a positive PHQ2 post-integration, only 6.7 % of subjects were screened, which means not all patients with a positive PHQ2 were adequately screened post-integration. Interestingly, 10% of patients were treated with antidepressants before integration, while none were treated with medications in the post-integration group. There were no referrals made to the behavior team in either group. Conclusion There is no difference between the prevalence of depression screening before or after integration of depression screening tools in the EHR. The study noted that there is a decrease in the treatment using antidepressants after integration. However, other undetermined conditions could have influenced this. Furthermore, not all patients with positive PHQ2 in the after-integration group were screened with PHQ9. The authors are unsure if the integration of the depression screens influenced this change. In both groups, there is no difference between referrals to the behavior team. Implications to Nursing Practice This quality improvement study shows that providers are good at screening their DM2 patients for depression whether the screening tools were incorporated in the EHR or not. However, future studies regarding providers, support staff, and patient convenience relating to accessibility and availability of the tool should be made. Additional issues to consider are documentation reliability, hours of work to scan documents in the chart, risk of documentation getting lost, and the use of paper that requires shredding to comply with privacy.
