Determinants of victimization in patients with severe mental illness
Clinicians should be aware of the high risk of victimization among their patients with severe mental illness. Particular attention should be devoted to people with substance use histories and perpetrators of violence, since they are also at an increased risk of being victims as well
Neighbourhood’s contribution to social connectedness and reduction of loneliness among ‘intensive home support’ clients
Intensive home support (IHS) is a contemporary floating outreach approach in supported housing designed to address the growing need for community living initiatives for persons with severe mental illness (SMI). Despite the advantages of independent living, IHS clients often experience loneliness, superficial relationships with neighbours, and lower levels of community integration compared to those without SMI. This article aims to identify opport…
The functionality appreciation scale (FAS)
Body satisfaction in eating disorders (EDs) is negatively affected by critical evaluation of aesthetic aspects. A focus on the appreciation for the functioning of the body could create a more positive perspective. The Functional Appreciation Scale (FAS) measures functional appreciation. This is the first study that examines the Dutch version of the FAS in a clinical sample. Psychometric properties and differences in scores are evaluated in an ED …
Economic evaluation of a stigma awareness intervention on reemployment of people with mental illness
People with mental illness are more often unemployed, which may party be explained by the stigma attached to mental illness. Both unemployment and mental ill-health is associated with high economic and societal costs. In this study the costs and benefits of implementing a stigma awareness intervention into vocational rehabilitation is investigated. In a cluster randomized controlled trial, 119 unemployed people with mental illness were allocated …
Critical Ingredients and Mechanisms of Intensive Home Support for People With Severe Mental Illness According to Clients
Introduction: Intensive home support (IHS) is a contemporary, innovative outreach approach in the supported housing sector designed to meet the growing need for community living initiatives for people with severe mental illness. Unlike regular outreach, IHS provides 24/7 accessible staff, numerous support hours, and several facilities supporting independent living, including daily activity programs. IHS has not been evaluated before. As the first…
Recovery-oriented care in Teams Working with the ART Model in long-term Mental Health care
The Active Recovery Triad (ART) model provides a framework for recovery-oriented care in long-term mental health settings. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the experiences and views of service users and their significant others regarding care and support they receive from teams working with the ART model. Semi-structured interviews were performed with nineteen service users and five significant others of teams operating in Dutch long…
Dutch workers’ attitudes towards having a coworker with mental health issues or illness
The high tendency to the desire for social distance seems to contrast with the low number of respondents who personally had negative experiences with workers with MHI in the workplace. This suggests that the tendency to socially exclude this group was not based on their own experience. The finding that a large group of respondents indicated to want to learn more about how to deal with a co-worker with MHI is promising. Destigmatizing intervention…
Developing a recovery-oriented intervention for people with severe mental illness and an intellectual disability
Routes to Recovery is a first step in helping professionals and their clients with SMHP and MID/BIF to have a conversation about personal strengths and what the client needs to recover. Future research should investigate the effects of this intervention
Developing a framework for evaluation
The ToC map provides a theory of how MENTUPP is expected to achieve its anticipated long-term outcomes through intermediate and proximate outcomes assessing alongside contextual factors which will facilitate the testing of hypotheses. Moreover, it allows for a structured approach to informing the future selection of outcomes and related evaluation measures in either subsequent iterations of complex interventions or other similarly structured prog…
Fidelity and Clinical Competence in Providing Illness Management and Recovery
Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) is a psychosocial intervention supporting people with serious mental illnesses. In this study, 15 IMR groups were assessed for fidelity and clinician competency to establish the implementation level of all IMR elements and explore complementarity of the IMR Treatment Integrity Scale (IT-IS) to the standard IMR Fidelity Scale. Use of the IT-IS was adapted, similar to the IMR Fidelity Scale. Descriptive statist…
When Methods Meet Motives
In Social Work research there is a strong debate on the distinctiveness and methodological quality, and how to address the dilemma of rigour and practice relevance. Given the nature of Social Work the field has developed a characteristic research culture that puts emphasis on giving voice to service users and disseminating research knowledge in practice, especially in a stream of so called practice-based research. However, there is no consensus o…
Cost Effectiveness and Budget Impact of the Boston University Approach to Psychiatric Rehabilitation for Increasing the Social Participation of Individuals With Severe Mental Illnesses
This was the first study to investigate BPR cost-effectiveness and budget impact. The results showed that BPR was not cost-effective compared to ACC. When interpreting the results, one must keep in mind that the cost-effectiveness of BPR was investigated in the area of social participation, while BPR was designed to offer support in all rehabilitation areas. Therefore, more studies are needed before definite conclusions can be drawn on the cost-e…
Addressing victimization to enable societal participation in flexible assertive community treatment
However, professionals remain reluctant to talk about the subject, and the results show they need more practical training in this regard. This process evaluation has an important added value in that it helps us to understand the results of the effect evaluation of the intervention. The findings will facilitate the development and implementation of interventions that address clients' victimization experiences in community mental healthcare setting…
Shifting the Focus
One of the most commonly used techniques for the treatment of body image problems in eating disorders (ED) is body exposure (BE). However, evidence of its effectiveness in clinical populations is scarce. In the Positive Body Experience (PBE) protocol, the focus of positive BE is on aesthetic, functional and tactile aspects of the body. The current study evaluates the outcomes of positive BE with regard to changes in attitudinal body image and eat…
Targeting Personal Recovery of People With Complex Mental Health Needs
Long-term admissions in psychiatric facilities often result in a gradual erosion of the identity of people diagnosed with severe mental illnesses (SMIs) into merely "patient." Moreover, experiences of loss often reduced people's sense of purpose. Although regaining a multidimensional identity and a sense of purpose are essential for personal recovery, few interventions specifically address this, while at the same time take people's often consider…
Emerging Processes Within Peer-Support Hearing Voices Groups
Purpose/Aims: This study aimed to gain insight into the value of Hearing Voices Groups (HVGs) in the Dutch context. Specifically, we aimed to learn more about the meaning of HVG participation, as well as the aspects that contribute to that meaning, from the perspective of participants' experiences. Method: The study used a qualitative design with in-depth interviews to explore the experiences of 30 members within seven HVGs in the Netherlands. In…
Up's
Recovery is a multidimensional concept, including symptomatic, functional, social, as well as personal recovery. The present study aims at exploring psychosocial and biological determinants of personal recovery, and disentangling time-dependent relationships between personal recovery and the other domains of recovery in a sample of people with a psychotic disorder. A cohort study is conducted with a 10-year follow-up. Personal recovery is assesse…
Workers' Decisions to Disclose a Mental Health Issue to Managers and the Consequences
Background: Stigma can be a barrier to accessing effective interventions and work accommodations for mental illnesses. Fear of stigma's concomitant prejudice and discrimination can inhibit workers from asking for help. Thus, it may be important to develop effective interventions addressing workplace stigma. To identify important targets for these interventions, this study addresses three questions: (1) what proportion of workers experiencing ment…
IPS in Supported Housing
Background: People with severe mental illness have difficulties finding and maintaining competitive employment. This is particularly so for those living in supported housing who, by definition, have significant day-to-day support needs: in the Netherlands only 3 to 5% of people with serious mental health problems who live in supported housing are competitively employed. To support these people in finding and maintaining competitive employment, In…
Effects of Illness Management and Recovery
There have been inconsistent findings in the literature with respect to the efficacy of Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) in the psychosocial treatment of people with schizophrenia or other severe mental illnesses. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the effectiveness of IMR, including the impact of completion and fidelity. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), 187 outpatients received either IMR plus care as usual (CAU) or o…
Familiarity with people with intellectual disabilities, stigma, and the mediating role of emotions among the Dutch general public
Stigma can hamper full inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in society. For other minority groups, higher levels of familiarity with these groups have been shown to relate to lower levels of stigma, whereby emotions can play a mediating role. However, concerning people with intellectual disabilities, there is limited knowledge regarding the general public’s levels of familiarity, its relationship with stigma, and the role of emotion…
Effectiveness of the Boston University Approach to Psychiatric Rehabilitation in Improving Social Participation in People With Severe Mental Illnesses
While ACC was as effective as BPR in improving the social participation of individuals with SMIs, much higher percentages of participants in our sample found (paid) work or other meaningful activities than in observational studies without specific support for social participation. This suggests that focused rehabilitation efforts are beneficial, irrespective of the specific methodology used
The Active Recovery Triad Model
Unlike developments in short-term clinical and community care, the recovery movement has not yet gained foothold in long-term mental health services. In the Netherlands, approximately 21,000 people are dependent on long-term mental health care and support. To date, these people have benefited little from recovery-oriented care, rather traditional problem-oriented care has remained the dominant approach. Based on the view that recovery is within r…
Recovery in Supported Accommodations
Research on the recovery domains beside clinical recovery of people with severe mental illness in need of supported accommodations is limited. The aim of this study was (1) to investigate which recovery interventions exist for this group of people and (2) to explore the scientific evidence. We conducted a scoping review, including studies with different designs, evaluating the effectiveness the recovery interventions available. The search resulte…
Language and stigmatization of individuals with mental health problems or substance addiction in the Netherlands
Persons with mental health problems and/or substance addictions (MHPSA) are stigmatised more than persons with physical conditions. This includes stigmatisation by care professionals. Stigma is considered one of the most important barriers for recovery from these conditions. There is an ongoing debate that use of language can exacerbate or diminish stigmatisation. Therefore, we conducted an experiment examining how four different ways of referrin…

Employment Rates in Flexible Assertive Community Treatment Teams in The Netherlands
Experienced and anticipated discrimination reported by individuals in treatment for substance use disorders within the Netherlands
Experiences and expectations of discrimination (anticipated discrimination) may delay treatment seeking among people with substance use disorders. In addition, experienced and anticipated discrimination can be a barrier to successful recovery and rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to study the level of experienced and anticipated (the expectation to be rejected) discrimination among individuals in treatment for substance use disorders as w…
Economic Aspects of Peer Support Groups for Psychosis
Community Care
Co-ordinated joint service planning by all stakeholders is widely accepted as a valuable principle in the development of community support services for persons with severe mental illness. Even so, relatively little is known of the views and priorities of the different parties with regard to the elements that should make up the care and support system. This paper reports on a Dutch study in which clients, mental health care workers and community s…

Comparing stigmatising attitudes towards people with substance use disorders between the general public, GPs, mental health and addiction specialists and clients
BACKGROUND: Substance use disorders (SUDs) are among the most severely stigmatised conditions; however, little is known about the nature of these stigmatising attitudes. AIMS: To assess and compare stigmatising attitudes towards persons with SUDs among different stakeholders: general public, general practitioners (GPs), mental health and addiction specialists, and clients in treatment for substance abuse. METHODS: Cross-sectional study (N = 3,326…
