BACKGROUND Although group-based intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are a level of care commonly utilized by adults with serious mental illness (SMI), few studies have examined the acceptability of group-based IOPs that required rapid transition to a telemental health (TMH) format during the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction and future recommendations for a group-based IOP that was transitioned to a TMH format during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS A 17-item patient satisfaction questionnaire was completed by patients at discharge and covered three areas: IOP TMH satisfaction, future recommendations, and video technology challenges. Descriptive and content analyses were conducted for the quantitative and open-ended questions respectively. RESULTS A total of 76 patients completed the program in 2020. A subset of patients (N = 40) responded to the survey at program discharge. Results indicated that patients were satisfied overall with the TMH program format. 50% of the patients preferred the program continue offering the TMH format and the rest preferred returning back to in person after the pandemic. Patients indicated the elements of the program that they found most valuable and provided recommendations for future program improvement. CONCLUSIONS Overall, adults with SMI reported high satisfaction with the group-based IOP delivered via TMH. Healthcare systems may want to consider offering both TMH and in-person formats regardless of the state of the pandemic. Patients’ feedback on future improvements should be considered to help ensure long-term success.

Christian Leaders

This article reports the findings of an outcome study done at ALONGSIDE, a counseling-focused retreat center that offers three-week intensive outpatient programs for Christian leaders, the majority of whom are missionaries. Repeated measures research utilized the Outcome Questionnaire - 45.2 (OQ-45.2) to explore whether or not clients participating in the three-week intensive outpatient program realized significant clinical progress and whether or not therapeutic gains were retained after the conclusion of the program. Missionaries and other Christian leaders took the inventory online a month before coming to ALONGSIDE, upon arrival, at the end of the three-week program, and three months after the program concluded. The results indicated that a month of time before arrival did not bring about a significant reduction in symptomatology among the 191 subjects, but three weeks of ALONGSIDE's intensive outpatient program resulted in significant clinical improvement which remained when the inventory was taken again three months post-program. This suggests that in a fairly short period of time, an intensive outpatient program consisting of psycho-education, group psychotherapy, and individual and/or marital counseling within a milieu of intentional Christian community can be a highly effective model for promoting enduring psychological healing.

This therapist guide presents the scaffold and structure for the Prolonged Exposure-Intensive Outpatient Program (PE-IOP). The program is focused on exposure as provided through individual imaginal exposure and group in vivo exposure. The format presented is based primarily on the model used in the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program (EHVP), but this chapter provides a focus on the most common variations in program design with a discussion of how to decide between the different potential variations. Relevant inclusions and exclusions are presented along with rationales.

Aim: To examine the change in the Patient Activation Measure and physical and psychosocial outcome measures in a military interdisciplinary intensive outpatient program for persistent pain. Materials & methods: Pre- and post-intervention measures, which were also stratified by gender and baseline activation, included patient-reported outcomes and physical function assessment, obtained from 2017 to 2018 program database. Results: The majority of the participants were male (70.9%), with an average age of 29.18 years and pain duration of 4.78 years (n = 103). Patient activation, majority of the patient reported outcomes and functional assessments improved in the overall sample with fewer changes in females on the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale. Conclusion: Improvements were noted on the Patient Activation Measure and majority of the other outcome measures suggesting that service members with persistent pain at any level of patient activation or baseline function, may benefit from an intensive outpatient program.
