Efficiency And Effectiveness

Bongkot village has many people suffering from mental disorders. There are around fifty people suffering from mental disorders. Prediction of mental disorders at table three is usually done through interviews. Cadres need to fill out the form provided on the Towards Healthy Soul Card (KMSJ) at the interview. The form needs to be filled out based on the results of the interview to predict whether the interviewee has a mental illness or not. If the results of the interview are predicted to have a mental disorder, the cadre will recommend appropriate follow-up. This process is certainly prone to mistakes because it only depends on cadre knowledge. Predictions will certainly affect the recommendations given. in this community service program, the authors propose to apply Information Technology (IT) to reduce the risk of such errors.

Objective: To propose a model where care coordination can form part of recovery oriented care when it is included as a collaborative element of services for persons with severe mental illness. Conclusion: A recovery-oriented service requires more than clinical interventions. It also needs to address social determinants and be individualised or person centred. Multiple health and community services need to be involved. A care coordination model is capable of addressing multiple needs. It gives the client the first and foremost voice. It facilitates intersectoral collaboration, reduces the burden on clinical mental health services and is supported by mental health and community service personnel.

Individuals disabled by both mental illness and chemical abuse, often referred to as dually diagnosed or disordered, provide unique and perplexing problems for treatment providers. The development of a treatment program that evolved from a traditional community based psychosocial day treatment modality to an outpatient rehabilitation program which utilizes multidisciplinary clinical approaches is discussed in detail. Staffing issues, as well as roles of the treatment team and client group members, are presented. Systems adjustments are discussed in relation to the ongoing development of a model treatment program that provides services to clients with severe psychosocial deficits, as well as substance abuse problems.

Hoarding is a problem for which coordinated interprofessional interventions are suited to address associated health and safety concerns. Case management (CM) consists of a set of well-established strategies commonly used in community service settings to address serious mental illness and similar complex problems. The present study used qualitative methods to examine whether CM activities occurred in four North American community-based hoarding intervention models. Findings indicated interventions associated with hoarding cases mapped closely onto eight major functions of CM, though emphasis on specific CM activities depended on availability of resources. CM appears to be a useful rubric for approaching complex social and functional problems that arise among urban clients with hoarding disorder.

The Relationship

Background: Self-stigma exerts a range of adversities for persons with severe mental illness (SMI), however, little is known about the association between peer contact, social support and self-stigma. Aims: This study aimed to explore the mediating role of social support on the relationship between peer contact and self-stigma among persons with SMI in Hong Kong. Methods: A total of 159 persons with SMI (schizophrenia and mood disorder) in community service centres participated in the study through completing a survey on self-stigma, social functioning, social support, perception of peer contact and mass media. Logistic regression was utilised to explore the influencing factors of self-stigma among the participants. Results: The results showed that 81.1% of participants reported moderate to severe levels of self-stigma. Self-stigma was significantly associated with diverse factors (e.g. social functioning). Importantly, positive peer contact was significantly associated with lower self-stigma of persons with SMI. Social support acted as a mediator between peer contact and self-stigma. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that contact-based interventions, such as enhancing positive peer-to-peer contact, should be conducted for reducing self-stigma among persons with SMI.

Factors Affecting

SynopsisThe annual rates of referral to two differently organized comprehensive psychiatric services in separate but demographically similar areas are presented for various demographic social and clinical categories. In Part 1 the rates are examined for similarities both between the two areas and with findings from other studies in order to obtain pointers to factors affecting the inception of psychiatric disorders. In Part 2 an attempt is made to evaluate an aspect of the community service. Differences between the rates in the two areas are discussed with a view to identifying those variables that selectively affect referral to a community service.
