“…However, case management has been differently operationalized and which specific intervention by case managers improve patients’ prognosis has not been fully elucidated [13,14]. What our result adds to this topic is that the mental health services based on a case manager’s assessment of each patient’s psychological aspects increased the chance for patients to receive regular care.…”

Implementation of Mental Health Service Has an Impact on Retention in HIV Care: A Nested Case-Control Study in a Japanese HIV Care Facility

et al. 2013

BackgroundPoor retention in the care of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with adverse patient outcomes such as antiretroviral therapy failure and death. Therefore, appropriate case management is required for better patient retention; however, which intervention in case management is important has not been fully investigated. Meanwhile, in Japan, each local government is required to organize mental health services for patients with HIV so that a case manager at an HIV care facility can utilize them, but little is known about the association between implementation of the services and loss to follow-up. Therefore, we investigated that by a nested case-control study.MethodsThe target population consisted of all patients with HIV who visited Osaka National Hospital, the largest HIV care facility in western Japan, between 2000 and 2010. Loss to follow-up was defined as not returning for follow-up care more than 1 year after the last visit. Independent variables included patient demographics, characteristics of the disease and treatment, and whether the patients have received mental health services. For each case, three controls were randomly selected and matched.ResultsOf the 1620 eligible patients, 88 loss to follow-up cases were identified and 264 controls were matched. Multivariate-adjusted conditional logistic regression revealed that loss to follow-up was less frequent among patients who had received mental health services implemented by their case managers (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.35 [0.16-0.76]). Loss to follow-up also occurred more frequently in patients who did not receive antiretroviral therapy (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 7.51 [3.34-16.9]), who were under 30 years old (2.74 [1.36-5.50]), or who were without jobs (3.38 [1.58-7.23]).ConclusionMental health service implementation by case managers has a significant impact on patient retention.

“…We identified 10 related overviews of reviews published in the last 10 years (Althabe 2008; Black 2011; Chopra 2008; Davoli 2006; Franx 2008; Lewin 2008; Momsen 2012; Oxman 2008; Wensing 2006; Wilson 2013). These overviews addressed a range of delivery arrangements, barriers and facilitators of change, disease conditions, and behaviours in diverse settings and populations.…”

“…Wilson 2013 investigated counselling, case management and health promotion for people living with HIV/AIDS. Key findings from high-quality systematic reviews supported centralising care in high-concentration or high-volume settings, in addition to using cognitive behavioural interventions for reducing symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety; interventions to promote adherence; and the use of aerobic and progressive resistance exercise.…”

BackgroundDelivery arrangements include changes in who receives care and when, who provides care, the working conditions of those who provide care, coordination of care amongst different providers, where care is provided, the use of information and communication technology to deliver care, and quality and safety systems. How services are delivered can have impacts on the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of health systems. This broad overview of the findings of systematic reviews can help policymakers and other stakeholders identify strategies for addressing problems and improve the delivery of services.ObjectivesTo provide an overview of the available evidence from up-to-date systematic reviews about the effects of delivery arrangements for health systems in low-income countries. Secondary objectives include identifying needs and priorities for future evaluations and systematic reviews on delivery arrangements and informing refinements of the framework for delivery arrangements outlined in the review.MethodsWe searched Health Systems Evidence in November 2010 and PDQ-Evidence up to 17 December 2016 for systematic reviews. We did not apply any date, language or publication status limitations in the searches. We included well-conducted systematic reviews of studies that assessed the effects of delivery arrangements on patient outcomes (health and health behaviours), the quality or utilisation of healthcare services, resource use, healthcare provider outcomes (such as sick leave), or social outcomes (such as poverty or employment) and that were published after April 2005. We excluded reviews with limitations important enough to compromise the reliability of the findings. Two overview authors independently screened reviews, extracted data, and assessed the certainty of evidence using GRADE. We prepared SUPPORT Summaries for eligible reviews, including key messages, 'Summary of findings' tables (using GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence), and assessments of the relevance of findings to low-income countries.Main resultsWe identified 7272 systematic reviews and included 51 of them in this overview. We judged 6 of the 51 reviews to have important methodological limitations and the other 45 to have only minor limitations. We grouped delivery arrangements into eight categories. Some reviews provided more than one comparison and were in more than one category. Across these categories, the following intervention were effective; that is, they have desirable effects on at least one outcome with moderate- or high-certainty evidence and no moderate- or high-certainty evidence of undesirable effects.Who receives care and when: queuing strategies and antenatal care to groups of mothers.Who provides care: lay health workers for caring for people with hypertension, lay health workers to deliver care for mothers and children or infectious diseases, lay health workers to deliver community-based neonatal care packages, midlevel health professionals for abortion care, social support to pregnant women at risk, midwife-led c...

“…The consideration of our data and this previous research suggests the need for HIV case managers to receive on-the-job training about the overall rationale and importance of adopting ESIs, as well as training in specific interventions. For example, current evidence supports the use of cognitive behavioral interventions to promote treatment adherence and to address depression, stress, and anxiety among PLHA (Wilson et al, 2013(Wilson et al, , p. 1623.…”

HIV case managers’ attitudes toward empirically supported interventions

Although empirically supported interventions (ESIs) have become increasingly important in social work practice, there is limited empirical research on HIV/AIDS case managers' attitudes toward using these interventions in their work. The Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale (EBPAS) was administered to a sample of HIV case managers (N ¼ 79) who reported moderate attitudes toward adopting ESIs. The majority of respondents received their primary training to work with people with HIV=AIDS (PLHA) on the job. Our sample indicated that ESIs would be more appealing if case managers had adequate training to implement them. Group differences in attitudes were identified between male and female case managers and between more-experienced and lessexperienced case managers. It is important to provide HIV case managers with ongoing on-the-job training in ESIs and, moreover, to educate these providers about the rationale and importance of adopting ESIs so their clients can receive the best services available.
