Abstract
Objective: The authors utilized patient-reported outcomes from a large U.S. behavioral health care system to evaluate the strength of improvements in patients' self-perceived recovery during mental health treatment.
Methods: This was a cohort study conducted with electronic health records from 2021-2022 Discovery Behavioral Health patients. Patients were grouped according to their 41-item Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) scores at admission. Linear regression models accounting for patient characteristics were used to estimate RAS score changes from admission to discharge and RAS score at discharge.
Results: Of 9,441 patients, those belonging to groups with lower RAS scores at admission showed substantial score improvements, although their scores at discharge were still much lower compared with those of patients with higher admission scores. Results were consistent across secondary analyses.
Conclusions: Substantial improvements in recovery were evident during treatment, especially for patients with lower RAS scores at admission. The findings underline the importance of research into enhanced personalized treatment approaches to optimize recovery.
期刊介绍：
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
