Internalized Stigma Predicts Life Engagement in People With Schizophrenia
BACKGROUND: People living with schizophrenia often experience high levels of stigma and are consistently at risk of internalizing it. Internalized stigma has a negative impact on several clinical and recovery outcomes in people with schizophrenia, but the effect of internalized stigma on important patient reported outcomes that are gaining increasing scientific and clinical relevance, such as life engagement, has not yet been extensively investig…
Supporting Recovery College trainers
Results suggest the importance of raising awareness among trainers about relevant elements to be considered in designing and implementing a RC training program. It is therefore important to foster egalitarian and supportive relationships in the trainers' dyad, as these can serve as a model for co-production during RC courses. Finally, to improve knowledge complementarity, trainers need to receive continuous support, through ongoing training activ…
Implementation of cognitive rehabilitation interventions for schizophrenia in low-income countries
The patient journey project in Italian mental health services
Italian MHS have to provide new strategies and structural actions to overcome these current limitations and barriers to effectively improve the journey of PLWS. The areas that deserve most implementation include interventions during the early stage (especially the continuity of care between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and Adult Mental Health Services), the evidence-based psychosocial interventions during the chronic stages of the …
Employment and Social Security/Insurance among patients affected by mental disorders in Italy
INTRODUCTION: Many mental disorders especially chronic serious ones such as schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, are disabling syndromes and impact on patients' social and cognitive functioning, including work activity. Thus, affected patients may show a particular socio-economic vulnerability and need specific social security as well as rehabilitation interventions, including pensions or job-placements. In Italy, the Working Group named 'Employment…
The mediating effect of mood spectrum on the relationship between autistic traits and catatonia spectrum
The present study highlights the presence of a mediating role of the mood disorder spectrum in the relationship between autistic traits and the catatonia spectrum
Psychiatric rehabilitation patterns in Italy
This survey presents, at least partially, the "real-world" of rehabilitation in Italy so that we can lay the foundations for the definition of an updated, validated and shared network of what is implemented in the context of psychiatric rehabilitation
Investigating suicidality across the autistic-catatonic continuum in a clinical sample of subjects with major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder
In both disorders, higher catatonic traits are linked to higher suicidal tendencies, confirming the high risk of suicide for this population. However, different patterns of association between catatonic symptoms and suicidality were highlighted in the two disorders
Patterns of Care for Adolescent With Schizophrenia
Overall, results showed a significant gap between the acquired scientific knowledge and clinical practice. In this scenario, it should be necessary to plan specific initiatives at a multiple level, to edit recommendations on clinical decision-making, as well as to prompt changes at the political and organizational levels, also involving scientific societies, patients, and family associations, to overcome the barriers that delay the implementation…
Catatonia Spectrum
The CS showed excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability and strong convergent validity with alternative dimensional measures of catatonia. The questionnaire performed differently across the four diagnostic groups, with an increasing score gradient from healthy controls to patients with MDD, BPD and up to the catatonia group
Autistic Symptoms in Schizophrenia
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) symptoms and internalized stigma (or self-stigma) can have a negative impact on cognitive and functional outcomes in people living with schizophrenia. Aim of the present study were to assess and compare internalized stigma, subjective well-being and other socio-demographic, clinical and functional characteristics in people diagnosed with schizophrenia with and without prominent autistic features. Ninety-four inpati…
Clinical Features and Outcomes of 124 Italian Patients With Treatment Resistant Depression
Introduction: Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a debilitating condition affecting 20-30% of patients with major depressive disorders (MDD). Currently, there is no established standard of care for TRD, and wide variation in the clinical approach for disease management has been documented. Real-world data could help describe TRD clinical features, disease burden, and treatment outcome and identify a potential unmet medical need. Methods: We …
How mental health care should change as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic
Autistic Symptoms and Social Cognition Predict Real-World Outcomes in Patients With Schizophrenia
Among other demographic, clinical, and functional capacity variables, increased ASD symptoms emerged as a significant predictor of poorer social relationships and may therefore represent a key factor in predicting real-world social functioning in schizophrenia
Evidence-Based Integrated Intervention in Patients with Schizophrenia
Impairment in real-world functioning remains one of the most problematic challenges that people with schizophrenia have to face. Various psychosocial interventions have proven to be effective in promoting recovery and improving functioning in schizophrenia; however, their implementation and their effectiveness in routine rehabilitation practice are still objects of study. The present pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness o…
Attitudes of Italian Psychiatrists Toward the Evaluation of Physical Comorbidities and Sexual Dysfunction in Patients With Schizophrenia. Implications for Clinical Practice
Treatment guidelines for patients with schizophrenia recommend evaluating their risk of physical comorbidities, especially since these patients are known to have decreased life expectancy due to comorbidities. Therefore, to the authors' knowledge, this is the first national survey conducted to investigate how Italian psychiatrists deal with the risk of physical comorbidities and sexual dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. A sample of 750 p…
Effectiveness of Cognitive Remediation in Early Versus Chronic Schizophrenia
Background: Many evidences have demonstrated the effectiveness of cognitive remediation on cognition and functioning in patients with schizophrenia. Some researchers speculate that cognitive deficits are more amenable to remediation during earlier phases of illness than in chronicity. Therefore, cognitive rehabilitation should be used as an early intervention, seeking to produce durable functional changes in the early course of schizophrenia. Alt…
