People with severe mental illness have low rates of screening for non-communicable diseases
People with severe mental illness (SMI) die 10-20 years earlier than the general population, largely due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes and risk factors such as hypercholesterolaemia. This cross-sectional study gathered data from people with SMI from three national mental health institutions in South Asia. Data was collected based on the WHO Stepwise approach to NCD risk factor surveillance and the prevalenc…
Identifying barriers and facilitators for health risk behaviours among people with severe mental illness in Bangladesh and Pakistan
People with severe mental illness (SMI) are at greater risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes than the general population, due to a higher prevalence of health risk behaviours. Research is needed to inform tailored interventions to improve the health behaviours (diet, physical activity and sleep) of people with SMI in South Asia as these behaviours are closely linked to obesity. The study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitato…
Effectiveness, barriers, and facilitators of interventions delivered by traditional healers for the treatment of common mental disorders
We investigated the effectiveness of interventions provided by traditional healers for common mental disorders (CMDs) together with associated barriers and facilitators. Electronic databases including MEDLINE, APA Psych Info, Allied and Complementary Medicine, Embase, CINAHL, Social Science Citation Index, and Scopus were searched from inception until October 2021. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing interventions by traditional healers…
Depression care integration in tuberculosis services
BACKGROUND: The co-occurrence of depression among tuberculosis (TB) patients is a critical issue, contributing to poor treatment outcomes, prolonged hospitalisations and increased healthcare expenses. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of delivering a co-designed depression care pathway within TB services in Pakistan. DESIGN: Mixed-method study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Routine depression screening for TB patien…
The DIAMONDS intervention to support self-management of type 2 diabetes in people with severe mental illness
Introduction : The DIAMONDS programme aims to evaluate a novel supported diabetes self-management intervention for people with severe mental illness (the “DIAMONDS intervention”). The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of intervention delivery and data collection procedures to inform a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT). Methods : Adults aged 18 years or over with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and severe mental illness (s…
Knowledge and Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in People With Severe Mental Illness in Bangladesh and Pakistan
Our paper adds to the literature on people living with SMIs and their knowledge and practices relevant to COVID-19 prevention. Our results emphasize the importance of access to mass and social media for the dissemination of advice and that the likely gendered uptake of both knowledge and practice requires further attention
