Yet, the psychological impact of this on community physicians, who are tasked with providing quality care to this population, is not well understood. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the present study explores how the challenges of caring for these patients is affecting community physicians' basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and intrinsic motivation. Participants from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, were invited to complete an anonymous online survey containing questions about managing complex child and adolescent psychiatric patients. We used SDT's needs-based framework and 22-item Intrinsic Motivation Inventory as a component of our pilot study, to explore and understand their ideas. Community physicians reported moderate-high interest/enjoyment and moderate perceived competence in managing complex child and adolescent patients, but little perceived choice and high tension/pressure in carrying out this task. Physician remarks provided meaningful insights into how these clinical experiences are impacting them, psychologically, and where opportunities may exist for interventions to support them and their patients. Findings from this study suggest that the participating community physicians feel interested and adequately skilled to manage complex child and adolescent psychiatric patients, but that systemic barriers are hindering their basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation to do so. Potential explanations and implications for these findings are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry","volume":"32 4","pages":"264-271"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10686220/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138463544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For some patients, it is the only medication that can improve disease burden and quality of life. Clozapine comes with various potentially serious adverse effects which may dissuade physicians from prescribing it despite its well-documented efficacy. One of these adverse effects is clozapine-induced myocarditis (CIM). Due to these risks, patients who undergo a clozapine rechallenge after CIM require close monitoring. Myocardial damage can be reversible if CIM is promptly identified, and clozapine is discontinued appropriately. The gold-standard for diagnosing myocarditis is an endomyocardial biopsy but there are no clear recommendations for how to use less invasive screening assessments to monitor for CIM during a clozapine rechallenge. This review article aims to increase awareness of CIM and provide guidance on monitoring and management. The accompanying case report presents a proposed strategy, including biomarkers that were used to identify inflammation and cardiac injury which guided the treatment of an adolescent patient who had a successful clozapine rechallenge. Further research is necessary to validate the proposed monitoring protocol and to further advance guidance for clinicians.</p>","PeriodicalId":47053,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry","volume":"32 4","pages":"e252-e263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10686227/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138463543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
