Resources, support, and integration as potential barriers and facilitators to the implementation of blended therapy in the routine care of inpatients
While research on blended therapy (BT), i.e. the combination of face-to-face and digital treatment, has grown rapidly, integrating BT into routine practice remains limited, especially in inpatient settings. This study seeks to investigate the potential barriers healthcare providers and patients are confronted with in implementing BT to inpatients. Here, a retrospective, explorative qualitative research design was employed to gain insights into th…
Mismatch negativity generation in subjects at risk for psychosis
MMN activity differed significantly between subjects presenting only basic symptoms and subjects which additionally meet UHR criteria. The largest differences between groups as well as between individuals with and without transition were observed at the frontal source. The present results suggest that source analysis is more sensitive than surface electrodes in psychosis risk prediction by MMN
Long-Term Effects of the Individual Placement and Support Intervention on Employment Status
People with mental illness often experience difficulties with reintegration into the workplace, although employment is known to assist these individuals in their recovery process. Traditional approaches of "first train, then place" have been recently replaced by supported employment (SE) methods that carry strategy of "first place, then train." Individual placement and support (IPS) is one of the best-studied methods of SE, which core principles …
Covid-19, unemployment, and suicide
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the introduction of strong restrictive measures that are having a substantial effect on the global economy, including an increase in the unemployment rate worldwide.1 In a previous study,2 we modelled the effect of unemployment on suicide on the basis of global public data from 63 countries, and we observed that suicide risk was elevated by 20–30% when associated with unemployment during 2000–11 (including the 200…
Sociodemographic and Clinical Predictors of the Length of Psychiatric Inpatient Stay of Immigrants in Switzerland
Immigrants with mental disorders have consistently been reported to spend shorter time in the psychiatric hospital compared to native patients. The aim of this study was to identify sociodemographic, clinical and migration-related predictors of a shorter length of psychiatric inpatient stay among immigrants in Switzerland. All patients of a foreign nationality admitted for inpatient treatment in the year 2016 ( N = 279) were included in this stud…
Psychiatric Acute Day Hospital as an Alternative to Inpatient Treatment
For the first time in the Swiss health care system, this evaluation study examined whether patients with acute psychiatric illness who were admitted for inpatient treatment could be treated in an acute day hospital instead. The acute day hospital is characterized by the possibility of direct admission of patients without preliminary consultation or waiting time and is open every day of the week. In addition, it was examined whether and to what ex…
Treating Schizophrenia
Integrated pharmacological and psychosocial treatments, such as psychoeducation (PE) and shared decision-making (SDM), have been shown to significantly improve outcomes for people living with schizophrenia (PLWS). Underpinning the success of these interventions is a strong therapeutic relationship between PLWS, their carers, and their healthcare team. While many recognize the value of this relationship, implementation of the interventions necessa…
Predictors of Compulsory Re-admission to Psychiatric Inpatient Care
Objective: This prospective study addresses risk factors of compulsory re-admission focusing on the role of the patient's subjective symptom distress and perceived social support, based on comprehensive patient and external (clinicians, study staff) assessments. Methods: Of the baseline sample, 168 (71%) patients with serious mental disorders, who had been compulsorily admitted to psychiatric inpatient care, were followed over 24 months after dis…
Early Somatosensory Processing Over Time in Individuals at Risk to Develop Psychosis
Objective: Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) enable the investigation of thalamocortical and early cortical processing. Previous studies reported alterations of SEPs in patients with schizophrenia as well as in individuals in the prodromal stage. Moreover, cannabis use as an environmental risk factor for the development of schizophrenia has been demonstrated to influence SEP parameters in individuals at risk to develop psychosis. The aim of …
Predictors of Employment for People With Mental Illness
Background: Individual placement and support (IPS) has proven to be effective for vocational outcomes in people with mental illness. The original concept of IPS requires temporally unlimited provision of support. Using limited placement budgets and investigating factors that predict their effectiveness may inform decisions about resource allocation. Methods: A range of patient characteristics were tested as predictors of employment outcomes in pa…
Patient-Level Predictors of Psychiatric Readmission in Substance Use Disorders
Repeated psychiatric readmissions are a particular challenge in the treatment of substance use disorders and are associated with substantial burden for patients and their associates and for healthcare providers. Factors affecting readmission rates are heterogeneous and need to be identified to better allocate resources. Within the Swiss healthcare system, such data on substance use disorder patients are largely missing. Understanding these factor…
Placement Budgets” for Supported Employment—Impact on Quality of Life in a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Employment is an important aspect of psychiatric rehabilitation. The objective of this analysis was to explore how quality of life (QoL) may affect the outcome of supported employment and vice versa. Methods: A total of 116 participants with severe mental disorders were randomly assigned to either 25h, 40h or 55h placement budgets, which comprises job coaches’ time resources to support a client in finding a job. The intervention follo…
