Actors’ awareness of network governance in Child Welfare and Healthcare service networks
To ensure that families with social and behavioral health problems get the support they need, organizations collaborate in child service networks. These networks are generally lead-organization governed. It is assumed that network members have relatively accurate information about the governance mode. However, discrepancies between the formally administered and perceived governance mode could raise legitimacy questions and lead to conflicts, and …
Psychometric Properties of the QoL-ME
Background: Quality of Life (QoL) assessment in people with severe mental health problems may benefit from improved personalization and accessibility. Therefore, an innovative, digital, visual, and personalized QoL assessment app for people with severe mental health problems was recently developed: the QoL-ME. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric quality of the QoL-ME by assessing its reliability, validity, and responsiveness. M…
I Need to Know
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are often used to monitor treatment outcomes in youth mental health care. Unfortunately, youngsters are rarely informed about the results of their PROMs or, when they are, it is in an insufficient manner. Therefore, a web application was developed-together with youngsters-aimed at giving them feedback about their PROMs. The aim of this study is to describe the development process of the application. An ex…
Quality of Life of People with Severe Mental Health Problems
Improvement of subjective quality of life (QoL) is seen as an important treatment outcome in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to test the theoretical model of Cummins, which includes a homeostatic management system. According to this model, objective variables are almost irrelevant to general well-being, while the feeling of having an influence on one's circumstances (perceived deficit) is related to subjective QoL. The variables of th…
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…
Springtime Peaks and Christmas Troughs
Evidence was found for time trends in suicide incidence in the Netherlands. It is recommended to plan (mental) health care services to be available especially at high-risk moments, at spring time, and in the beginning of January. Further research is needed to explore the protective effect of Christmas in suicide incidence
Subjectively different but objectively the same? Three profiles of QoL in people with severe mental health problems
The identification of three distinct classes of QoL scores re-emphasises the heterogenic nature of QoL. The lack of differences in sociodemographic or health-related characteristics between the three classes suggests that QoL is primarily determined by subjective, personal evaluations, rather than by objective characteristics and circumstances
Eliciting moral values of stakeholders in the development of a web-based QoL-instrument for people with severe mental health problems
Purpose: The aim of this study is to elicit moral values of stakeholders in the development of a web-based QoL-instrument for people with severe mental health problems. Context: Quality of Life (QoL) is an important outcome measure in mental healthcare to evaluate the effect of interventions. It is important to investigate whether the current domains in QoL-assessment suffice or whether supplements (add-ons) are needed, capturing patient empowerm…
Evaluation of a recovery-oriented care training program for mental healthcare professionals
OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of a recovery-oriented care training program for mental healthcare professionals on mental health consumer outcomes. METHODS: The Mental Health Recovery Measure (MHRM) and the Recovery-Promoting Relationship Scale (RPRS) were administered to a sample of 142 consumers with severe mental illness. A repeated measurement design with six measurement occasions was used. ANALYSES: Separate analyses were performed for t…
Turkish and Moroccan Young Adults in the Netherlands
Psychometric evaluation of the Dutch version of the Mental Health Recovery Measure (MHRM)
BACKGROUND: During the past decade, the mental health consumer movement has drawn the attention of mental health providers, researchers and policy makers to the concept of recovery. Traditionally, recovery primarily refers to the remission of symptoms. Nowadays, recovery is also regarded in a sense that all individuals, even those with severe psychiatric disabilities, can improve. Accordingly, recovery for people with severe mental illness refers…
Profiles of quality of life in opiate-dependent individuals after starting methadone treatment
Current quality of life and its determinants among opiate-dependent individuals five years after starting methadone treatment
Opiate-dependent individuals' QoL is mainly determined by their psychological well-being and a number of psychosocial variables. These findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to treatment and support in methadone maintenance treatment, which goes beyond fixing the negative physical consequences of opiate dependence
