The aim of this study was to provide insight into the everyday experiences and unmet needs of psychiatric users suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders in Serbia who are also users of community MH services.Method: We recruited the participants (N = 11; 9 males; aged 26-65, M = 48.5), long-term psychiatric users (11-57 years, M = 29.4) diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, from a community MH centre. We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with them, which we analysed relying on the principles of thematic analysis.Results: Three broad themes relevant to participants' well-being and quality of life were identified: leading a meaningful and fulfilled life; the importance of continuity of socialisation and support; and maintaining control and a sense of agency. Community MH services have markedly figured in facilitating all three dimensions.Conclusions: Findings suggest that providing continuous services that address the users' need to engage in activities that give them meaning and purpose, provide socialisation and peer support, and promote their autonomy and agency can play a vital role in advancing the process of recovery and well-being of long-term psychiatric users.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"11 ","pages":"e81"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505036/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A search was conducted on six electronic databases using search terms under the following concepts: common mental disorders, adherence, psychological treatments and controlled trial study design. Due to the heterogeneity in intervention content and outcomes evaluated in the included studies, a narrative synthesis was conducted. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Version 2 tool for randomised controlled trials and the Cochrane ROBINS-I tool for non-randomised controlled trials. The search yielded 23 distinct studies with a total sample size of 2,779 participants. All studies were conducted in high-income or upper-middle-income countries. Interventions to improve patient adherence to psychological treatments included reminders and between-session engagement (e.g., text messages), motivational interviewing, therapy orientation (e.g., expectation-setting) and overcoming structural barriers (e.g., case management). Interventions from 18 out of 23 studies were successful in improving at least one primary adherence outcome of interest (e.g., session attendance). Some studies also reported an improvement in secondary outcomes - six studies reported an improvement in at least one clinical outcome (e.g., depression), and three studies reported improvements in at least one measure of well-being or disability (e.g., days spent in in-patient treatment). By incorporating these interventions into psychological treatment services, therapists can better engage with and support their patients, potentially leading to improved mental health outcomes and overall well-being.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"11 ","pages":"e83"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504929/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Established measures are important for research and practice. Particularly, measures of stress and coping are needed. Stressors experienced by Caribbean people are multifactorial, as emerging climate threats interact with existing complex and vulnerable socioeconomic environments. In the early COVID-19 pandemic, our team developed an online survey to assess the well-being of health professions students across university campuses in four Caribbean countries. This survey included the Perceived Stress Scale, 10-item version (PSS-10) and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS). The participants were 1,519 health professions students (1,144 females, 372 males). We evaluated the psychometric qualities of the measures, including internal consistency, concurrent validity by correlating both measures, and configural invariance using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Both scales had good internal consistency, with omega values of 0.91 for the PSS-10 and 0.81 for the BRCS. CFA suggested a two-factor structure of the PSS-10 and unidimensional structure of the BRCS. These findings support further use of these measures in Caribbean populations. However, the sampling strategy limits generalizability. Further research evaluating these and other measures in the Caribbean is desirable.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"11 ","pages":"e77"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505040/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria, focusing on various psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and multiple serious mental illnesses.

The interventions prioritized coping strategies and disease management techniques, though the extent varied based on the disorder. Effectiveness was heterogeneous across studies; some interventions showed significant benefits in areas such as symptom management, coping, and functional improvement, while others reported no significant outcomes.Conclusion: The findings underscore the potential of TPE in psychiatric care, revealing its multifaceted nature and varied impact.

We conducted a qualitative descriptive study involving in-depth interviews with 34 healthcare workers in the Kassena-Nankana districts of the Upper East Region of Ghana. We used conventional content analysis to systematically review interview transcripts, code the data content and analyze codes for salient themes. Respondents detailed three discrete conceptual models. Most emphasized depression as causing hypertension: through both emotional distress and unhealthy behavior. Others posited a bidirectional relationship, where cardiovascular morbidity worsened mood, or described a single set of underlying causes for both conditions. Nearly all proposed health interventions targeted their favored root cause of these disorders. In this representative rural Ghanaian community, healthcare workers widely agreed that cardiovascular disease and mental illness are physiologically linked and warrant an integrated care response, but held diverse views regarding precisely how and why. There was widespread support for a single primary care intervention to treat both conditions through counseling and medication.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"11 ","pages":"e79"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504924/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perceived barriers include concerns about effectiveness, acceptance and feasibility in the implementation of non-specialist mental health interventions (theme 1). The participants' overall perception that these interventions are a beneficial strategy for reducing the mental healthcare gap was identified as a facilitating factor for implementation (theme 2). Further facilitators relate to important non-specialist characteristics (theme 3), including desirable traits and occupational backgrounds that may aid in increasing the acceptance of this cadre.
