This study aimed to assess possible differences in health services utilization among people living with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the Republic of Srpska (RS), Bosnia and Herzegovina, with special reference to NCD multimorbidity. In addition, the relationship between self-perceived health and health care utilization was assessed. Data were retrieved from the 2010 National Health Survey. A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 4,673 persons aged 18 years and older were identified in the households, of which 4,128 were interviewed. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the effects of NCDs on health care utilization in RS. Respondents with NCD multimorbidity more frequently visited family physicians (odds ratio [OR], 2.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.34 − 3.19), dentists (OR, 1.57; CI, 1.28 − 1.92), private doctors (OR, 2.14; CI, 1.74 − 2.64), and urgent care departments (OR, 2.30; CI, 1.75 − 3.03) than their counterparts without NCDs. They also had more hospital admissions (OR, 2.03; CI, 1.56 − 2.64). This is the first study to address the relationship between health care utilization and NCDs in the population of RS. Further research is needed to explore how best to organize health care to meet the needs of people in RS with NCDs, especially with NCD multimorbidity.

AbstractData from a patient survey on self-help and coping strategies during waiting time for CBT are reported. Individuals on an outpatient treatment centre waiting list received a short questionnaire assessing problem-related activities carried out in the interval before therapy (mean waiting time 69 days). A total of 306 patients with a wide range of reliably diagnosed mental disorders were assessed. Results showed that the vast majority of patients (~95%) instigated at least one form of coping or self-help activity related to their mental problem. Resource-orientated strategies were most often reported (88%), but ‘seeking information about the problem’ was also highly prevalent. About one third of persons reported additional health-care utilization. Higher rates of symptom distress and depression were associated with additional health-care utilization and with more passive coping strategies such as distraction. Active self-help strategies contributed to poorer depression outcome and were, thus, no indicator of good prognosis. Other coping strategies were not linked to outcome variables. It can be concluded that problem-related processes do start before treatment. A more systematic integration of self-help activities into the case-formulation and more systematic research on the related (motivational) processes are recommended.
