Integrating community mental health within primary care in southern Malawi: A pilot educational intervention to enhance the role of health surveillance assistants
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2013
Abstract: BACKGROUND: In response to the significant contribution of mental health problems to the global burden of disease, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2008) renewed its call for the integration of mental health services within primary care. The operationalization of this within resource-constrained settings such as rural Malawi, however, presents a challenge, not least the cultural acceptance of approaches to responding to psychological distress. AIM: This study reports on the development, implementation and evaluation of a mental health care training programme for 271 health surveillance assistants (HSAs) designed to overcome such challenges. METHOD: A structured evaluation of the impact of training on HSAs' provision of mental health care was undertaken. RESULTS: RESULT: s demonstrated a statistically significant positive effect on HSAs' knowledge and confidence in providing care and analysis of patient records revealed considerable mental health care and health promotion activity wherein HSAs initiated a new dialogue with the community on mental health and human rights concerns. CONCLUSION: The HSAs' focus on the psychosocial concerns of individuals' 'distress' and 'risk' prepared the way for a practical set of culturally sensitive and therapeutic interventions and offers a potential path towards increasing the capacity of primary care mental health provision that is responsive to local understandings and experiences of distress.

Integrating data for learning disabilities service providers: are the barriers and solutions technical or organisational?
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2006
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Since the publication of the Government White Paper 'Valuing People: a new strategy for learning disability for the 21st century', the responsibility for providing health care for people with learning disabilities has shifted rapidly to primary care. However, people with learning disabilities are supported by a disparate group of providers, from health care through local authorities to the voluntary sector, with resultant difficulties in providing seamless care. There would seem to be considerable potential for 'joined-up' data and information services to improve this situation, and Semantic Web technologies offer many enticing possibilities in this regard. However, to be effective, many organisational and policy issues have to be addressed; not least among these is the concern of patient confidentiality. This is particularly pertinent given that people with learning disabilities might be less able to make informed decisions. The approach that this paper takes is to review the policy and service scenarios that would benefit from 'joined-up' data, and then, based on user feedback from a series of seminars with stake-holders on these issues, explore what works well, what works less well, and to offer suggestions for future developments.

Integrating depression and chronic disease care among patients with diabetes and/or coronary heart disease: the design of the TEAMcare study
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD) are two of the most prevalent medical illnesses in the US population and comorbid depression occurs in up to 20% of these patients. Guidelines for management of diabetes and CHD overlap for healthy lifestyle and disease-control recommendations. However, the majority of patients with these medical illnesses have been shown to have inadequate control of key risk factors such as blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, or blood sugar. Comorbid depression has been shown to adversely affect self-care of diabetes and CHD, and is associated with an increased risk of complications and mortality. Interventions that have improved quality and outcomes of depression care alone in patients with diabetes and CHD have not demonstrated benefits in self-care, improved disease control or morbidity and mortality. This paper describes the design and development of a new biopsychosocial intervention (TEAMcare) aimed at improving both medical disease control and depression in patients with poor control of diabetes and/or CHD who met the criteria for comorbid depression. A team approach is used with a nurse interventionist who receives weekly psychiatric and primary care physician caseload supervision in order to enhance treatment by the primary care physician. This intervention is being tested in an NIMH-funded randomized controlled trial in a large integrated health plan.
