{"title":"An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews on Trauma Informed Approaches.","authors":"Daryl Mahon","doi":"10.1007/s10597-024-01317-z","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10597-024-01317-z","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Trauma and adversity significantly impact on morbidity and mortality. Hence, trauma-informed care is proliferating practice and research contexts. However, the evidence base for organisational wide trauma-informed care is far from conclusive, with the extant literature providing low quality and conflicting evidence. The purpose of this umbrella review of systematic reviews, is to summarise the existing evidence on trauma-informed care implemented at the organisational level. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) was used to conduct an umbrella review. Six databases were searched; Academic Search Complete, APA Psych Articles, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, and the Web of Science, supplemented with bibliography searches. Articles were included if they were peer reviewed in the English language from inception to 2024 and reported on trauma-informed care with an implementation context. The Joanne Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses was used to assess the quality of the included reviews. Findings are mapped to the 10 trauma-informed care implementation domains described by the Substance Use and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) and reported using a narrative synthesis. The search strategy yielded 5,297 articles, of which (N = 14) systematic reviews are included. The reviews had a combined study count of (N = 311), with a total sample size of (N = 157,724). Most reviews used a narrative synthesis to report results, with no meta-analyses. Critical appraisal categorised the reviews as 28% high quality, 22% moderate quality, and 50% as low quality. Most reviews (50%), were conducted on youth populations, with school settings being the most studied context. There was a great deal of heterogeneity across the reviews, with 62 different models of trauma informed approaches discussed. The composition of the individual studies included in each systematic review were generally of low quality with mixed findings of effectiveness and implementation. Findings are discussed for moving forward with trauma-informed care implementation. Trauma-informed care is proposed as a system wide intervention to improve outcomes for service users, however the research base is still under scrutiny. Emerging research identifies the benefit of using the 10 trauma-informed implementation domains to shift cultural practices. Further research needs to be undertaken in various contexts with different populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":10654,"journal":{"name":"Community Mental Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1627-1651"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141751248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, 20% of US children have a reported mental health condition, while an estimated 40% will be diagnosed with one by age 18.

We analyzed data from a sample of 6655 children (aged 6 to 17 years) with either anxiety and/or depression drawn from the 2020-2021 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). A multivariable logistic regression model was fit to investigate predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with caregiver's (i.e., parent or other guardian) perceived access to mental health services for their children. Approximately 50.8% of caregivers perceived obtaining mental health services for their children to be somewhat difficult, very difficult, or impossible. Children meeting criteria for having a medical home had lower odds of experiencing such difficulties (adjusted [a]OR = 0.38; 95% CI: 0.30-0.49). Further, compared to children who sometimes or never had health insurance coverage for mental or behavioral health needs, children who were always insured (aOR: 0.19; 95% CI 0.14, 0.25) and those who usually had coverage (aOR: 0.38; 95% CI 0.28, 0.51) had lower odds of experiencing perceived difficulties in obtaining care. The results indicate several enabling and need predictors of perceived access to mental health services--highlighting potential structural barriers to care access.

PBC accomplishes this by eliminating the ingrained cultural practice of routinely scheduling stable patients at rote intervals of 1-3 months, regardless of clinical need or medical necessity. Based on four organizational transformations and using mathematical algorithms developed for this process, PBC re-allocates therapy and medical resources away from routinely scheduled appointments and front-loads those resources to patients in an acute phase of illness. To maintain wellness for patients in recovery, lower frequency and intensity approaches are used. This report describes the development of the PBC methodology focusing on the Rapid Recovery Clinic (RRC) comprised of 182 patients with a primary diagnosis of a mood disorder, the largest of the 14 PBC clinics created.
