“…As a result, there was an 8.4% (19/227) of relevant hits. The studies retrieved could be grouped into two groups: studies on existing economic-demographic models that included a component on mental health, [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] such as the Health&WealthMOD [22][23][24][25][26][27] and the Future Americans Model, 29 used to answer research questions on mental health (n = 11), and studies focused solely on mental health models developed to examine the impact of specific policies and/or interventions on mental disorders [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] (e.g., to understand the impact of social media on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), examine the impact of smoking cessation initiatives among individuals with severe mental illness, or determine disease prevalence) (n = 8).…”

“…For the first set of studies (i.e., studies on existing economic-demographic models that included a component on mental health), 7 models were based on data from Australia, [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and one from the USA, 29 Ireland, 30 Scotland, 31 and England 32 each. For the second set of studies (studies focused solely on mental health models developed to examine the impact of specific policies and/or interventions on mental disorders), five models were based on data from the USA, 33,[36][37][38][39] one from England, 40 and two used data that were not country-specific 34,35 as their aims were to create hypothetical patient populations (see Table 3). The aims of the models were diverse, from estimating long-term costs of lost productivity due to mental health to examining the long-term impact of policy changes on mental health-related outcomes.…”

“…Therefore, there is a need for training as well as for liaising with relevant agencies that act as advocates for those diagnosed with SMI. Prior studies have highlighted the importance of ensuring timely treatment from those diagnosed with SMI (Horvitz‐Lennon et al, 2020). In contrast, our findings highlight the unfortunate factors (e.g.…”

Accessible Summary What Is Known on the Subject? The decision to apply for disability benefits may be an important breakthrough in the life of people with severe mental illness. The literature regarding the process of applying for mental health disability benefits is scarce. What the Paper Adds to Existing Knowledge? This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to fully describe the experience of submitting a claim for mental health disability benefits, as experienced by those diagnosed with severe mental illness. The process of applying for recognition of a mental health disability has three chronological stages—before the claim submission, during the claims process and after recognition. Clients approach the process without any prior knowledge, and therefore they need professional help when submitting their claim. A deterioration in clients’ mental health prompts them to apply. A lack of trust in the system affects the application decision/process. The medical committee hearing is described as a complex and multifaceted experience. Clients reported being extensively preoccupied with stigma throughout the process. What Are the Implications for Practice? Professional assistance throughout the claims process is a key factor with the potential to change clients’ experience of the entire process. It is important to educate mental health nurses about the disability applicating process. Mental health professionals are encouraged to be mindful of the facilitating/hindering mechanisms that are dominant at each stage of the process. There is a need for liaising with relevant agencies that act as advocates for those diagnosed with a mental health illness. Abstract Introduction The decision to apply for disability benefits may be an important breakthrough in the life of those diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI). Nevertheless, the literature regarding the application process is scarce. Aim The aim of the study was to explore how people who receive mental health disability benefits retrospectively perceive the process of applying for and receiving these benefits. Methods Twenty‐four in‐depth qualitative interviews were conducted with people whose mental health disability was recognized in the past few years. Results Analysis revealed three themes describing the process's chronological stages: Before submitting the claim (from deterioration to trust), during the claim process (from bureaucracy to understanding), after receiving recognition (from stigma to gratitude). Each stage includes facilitating factors (e.g. encouragement from professionals) and hindering factors (e.g. stigma, lack of knowledge and trust). Discussion This is the first study to fully describe the experience of applying for mental health disability benefits, as experienced by clients. The decision to apply is perceived as complex and difficult. Although clients are extensively preoccupied with stigma throughout the process, they are able to express gratitude for the opportunities made available to them. Implications Professiona...

“…The reasons why people do not take medication as prescribed are complex [ 7 , 8 , 9 ] and may vary between patients and within the same individual over time. Perhaps the most important factors affecting adherence in young people with early psychosis that are reported in the literature are the duration of untreated symptoms [ 10 , 11 ], substance use (addiction) [ 3 , 11 ], lack of insight (not accepting the symptoms as part of mental ill-health) [ 4 , 12 ], medication-related side effects [ 3 , 13 ] and lack of social support [ 4 , 14 ].…”

The Safety and Efficacy of Psychosocial Adherence Interventions in Young People with Early Psychosis: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The role of antipsychotic medication in supporting young people in their recovery from early psychosis is complex and controversial. It is common for young people, often given antipsychotic medication for the first time, to express a choice to stop treatment, potentially increasing the risk of relapse and admission to hospital. Our systematic review aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to enhance antipsychotic medication adherence in young people with early psychosis. Methods: We reviewed studies using any experimental design of psychosocial interventions specifically focused on enhancing adherence with antipsychotic medication in young people with early psychosis. Cochrane CENTRAL Register, Medline, Embase, PsychINFO and CINAHL were searched on 19 November 2021 without time restriction. Studies were assessed for quality using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Results: Our initial search identified 3469 documents. Following title, abstract and full-text screening, we included three published studies and one unpublished experimental study that met our inclusion criteria. Outcome data were available for three studies that tested adherence–coping–education, adherence therapy, and a health dialogue intervention, all having a positive effect on medication adherence. None of the trials reported data on the safety of the experimental interventions. Conclusion: There is a paucity of evidence from high-quality randomized controlled trials that establish the safety and effectiveness of any type of psychosocial intervention to enhance medication adherence in young people with early psychosis. Further high-quality trials are warranted. This review was registered on the Open Science Framework prior to undertaking out initial searches.
