An electronic linkage system for health behavior counseling effect on delivery of the 5A's
Type: Journal Article
Authors: A. H. Krist, S. H. Woolf, C. O. Frazier, R. E. Johnson, S. F. Rothemich, D. B. Wilson, K. J. Devers, J. W. Kerns
Year: 2008
Publication Place: Netherlands
Abstract: BACKGROUND: A variety of factors limit the ability of clinicians to offer intensive counseling to patients with unhealthy behaviors, and few patients (2%-5%) are referred to the community counseling resources that do offer such assistance. A system that could increase referrals through an efficient collaborative partnership between community programs and clinicians could have major public health implications; such was the subject of this feasibility evaluation. METHODS: At nine primary care practices, an electronic linkage system (eLinkS) was instituted to promote health behavior counseling and to automate patient referrals to community counseling services. Patients were offered 9 months of free counseling for weight loss, smoking cessation, and problem drinking at a choice of venues: group counseling, telephone counseling, computer care, and usual care. The delivery of behavioral counseling, measured by the 5A's (ask, address, advise, assess, agree, arrange) and patients' reported experiences with eLinkS, was examined. RESULTS: For 5 weeks eLinkS was used, until high referral volumes depleted counseling funds. Of the 5679 patients visiting the practices, 71% had an unhealthy behavior. Of these patients, 10% were referred for intensive counseling from a community program, most often for weight loss. Counseling and referrals occurred regardless of visit type--wellness, acute, or chronic care. eLinkS was used more often for middle-aged adults and women and by more-experienced clinicians. CONCLUSIONS: The intervention increased the rate at which patients were referred for intensive behavioral counseling compared to current practice norms. Given the evidence that intensive counseling is more effective in promoting behavior change, implementing eLinkS could have substantial public health benefits.

An enhanced primary health care role following psychological trauma: the Christchurch earthquakes
Type: Journal Article
Authors: S. Sullivan, S. Wong
Year: 2011
Publication Place: New Zealand
Abstract: Following the February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand (NZ), the authors participated in counselling local residents, and debriefing and supervising support teams. Indications were that risk for mental health disorders, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), may be elevated in residents, and that this risk may continue for some time. Patients may be de-prioritising their mental health issues when these become normalised throughout the city's population. The authors recommend that primary care patients are assessed using a brief, comprehensive tool (for example, the Case-finding and Help Assessment Tool) that targets many health and behavioural issues identified as increasing in the city following the earthquake. Anxiety and mood disorder symptoms may indicate assessment is appropriate to reduce harm arising from increased risk for PTSD. Concern also is raised for primary health care providers who may have experienced the trauma and additionally may be vicariously affected by patients' reported trauma.

An Epidemic in the Midst of a Pandemic: Opioid Use Disorder and COVID-19
Type: Journal Article
Authors: G. C. Alexander, K. B. Stoller, R. L. Haffajee, B. Saloner
Year: 2020
Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic is a particularly grave risk to the millions of Americans with opioid use disorder, who—already vulnerable and marginalized—are heavily dependent on face-to-face health care delivery. These authors propose rapid and coordinated action on the part of clinicians and policymakers to mitigate risks of disrupted care for these patients.

An ethical analysis of medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for persons who are incarcerated
Type: Journal Article
Authors: E. R. Brezel, T. Powell, A. D. Fox
Year: 2020
Publication Place: United States
Abstract:

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is highly prevalent among persons who are incarcerated. Medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD), methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, is widely used to treat OUD in the community. Despite MOUD's well-documented effectiveness in improving health and social outcomes, its use in American jails and prisons is limited.Several factors are used to justify limited access to MOUD in jails and prisons including: "uncertainty" of MOUD's effectiveness during incarceration, security concerns, risk of overdose from MOUD, lack of resources and institutional infrastructure, and the inability of people with OUD to provide informed consent. Stigma regarding MOUD also likely plays a role. While these factors are relevant to the creation and implementation of addiction treatment policies in incarcerated settings, their ethicality remains underexplored.Using ethical principles of beneficence/non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy, in addition to public health ethics, we evaluate the ethicality of the above list of factors. There is a two-fold ethical imperative to provide MOUD in jails and prisons. Firstly, persons who are incarcerated have the right to evidence-based medical care for OUD. Secondly, because jails and prisons are government institutions, they have an obligation to provide that evidence-based treatment. Additionally, jails and prisons must address the systematic barriers that prevent them from fulfilling that responsibility. According to widely accepted ethical principles, strong evidence supporting the health benefits of MOUD cannot be subordinated to stigma or inaccurate assessments of security, cost, and feasibility. We conclude that making MOUD inaccessible in jails and prisons is ethically impermissible.

An evaluation of a computer based education program for the diagnosis and management of dementia in primary care. An international study of the transcultural adaptations necessary for European dissemination
Type: Journal Article
Authors: J. Degryse, J. De Lepeleire, L. Southgate, M. Vernooij-Dassen, B. Gay, J. Heyrman
Year: 2009
Publication Place: England
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to make an inventory of the changes that are needed to make an interactive computer based training program (ICBT) with a specific educational content, acceptable to professional communities with different linguistic,cultural and health care backgrounds in different European countries. METHODS: Existing educational software, written in two languages was reviewed by GPs and primary care professionals in three different countries. Reviewers worked through the program using a structured critical reading grid. RESULTS: A 'simple' translation of the program is not sufficient. Minor changes are needed to take account of linguistic differences and medical semantics. Major changes are needed in respect of the existing clinical guidelines in every country related to differences in the existing health care systems. CONCLUSIONS: ICTB programs cannot easily be used in different countries and cultures. The development of a structured educational program needs collaboration between educationalists, domain experts, information technology advisers and software engineers. Simple validation of the content by local expert groups will not guarantee the program's exportability. It is essential to involve different national expert groups at every phase of the development process in order to disseminate it in other countries.

An evaluation of education and implementation of psychosocial interventions within one UK mental healthcare trust
Type: Journal Article
Authors: J. Sin, E. Scully
Year: 2008
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Psychosocial interventions (PSI), though recommended in the NICE guidelines for schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder, are not routinely available to people with a serious mental illness in the UK. Education and training initiatives to equip mental health professionals with skills in PSI have grown over the last decade; yet the literature indicates serious problems in implementation of PSI in routine service provision. This paper examines on a local level the factors which support and limit the education and practice of PSI in one UK mental healthcare trust. It reports on a survey of trainees and their managers which aims to evaluate the impact of a PSI training programme and practice development strategy on staff, managers and service provision. The key findings are: a high rate of implementation of PSI by PSI-trained staff in the Trust; a strong association between PSI training and career progression for staff; and the support mechanisms which are most effective in the education and implementation of PSI. The paper concludes that certain measures and support mechanisms have facilitated the successful implementation of PSI with positive outcomes for staff and service provision. Further recommendations are made identifying measures which facilitate the implementation of PSI through an integrated education and practice development strategy owned by all stakeholders.

An evaluation of practice-based interprofessional education initiatives involving service users
Type: Journal Article
Authors: P. J. Furness, H. Armitage, R. Pitt
Year: 2011
Publication Place: England
Abstract: There is little published evidence regarding the impact of service-user focused interprofessional education in the practice setting. This article reports evaluative case studies of two practice-based interprofessional initiatives, in which service users played a central role. These initiatives formed part of the Trent Universities Interprofessional Learning in Practice (TUILIP) project ( http://tuilip.hwb.shu.ac.uk ), a collaboration between Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Nottingham. Practice settings were an acute mental health service and a community organisation offering care and services to adults with learning disabilities. Interprofessional initiatives were developed by facilitators, and empirically studied at each site. Facilitators, managers, practitioners, students and service users took part in interviews and focus groups to discuss their perceptions of the initiative in their practice setting. The study revealed participants' perceptions of the projects' aims, process and outcomes, factors which facilitated success or proved challenging, and their impact upon individuals, clinical practice and the organisations involved.

An evaluation of the aged mental health and primary care partnership program
Type: Journal Article
Authors: A. Westphal, S. Perin, C. Harrison, T. Cottrell, T. W. Chong
Year: 2023
Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Mental Health and Primary Care Partnership (MaP) pilot program which operated in a metropolitan Melbourne setting in 2020. METHOD: Data collection included: surveys, interviews, file audits, and an evaluation of routinely collected data, with MaP consumers, their carers, GPs, Practice Managers and Nurses located in Boroondara, and MaP and Aged Person's Mental Health Service staff. RESULTS: Thirty-five consumers aged between 66 and 101 years old (of whom 63% were female) received support from the MaP program throughout its 12-month operation. Statistically significant improvements in outcome measures assessing for psychological distress and symptoms of mental illness were observed. Strengths of the program included the single referral pathway and the provision of services for those not meeting criteria to access tertiary mental health support. Consumers and clinicians made recommendations for service improvement including provision of a longer duration of care to consumers and greater integration of community and primary care. CONCLUSIONS: It is hoped that the learnings from the MaP pilot program can be used to guide future program development.

An evaluation of the predictive validity of the Pain Medication Questionnaire with a heterogeneous group of patients with chronic pain
Type: Journal Article
Authors: L. S. Dowling, R. J. Gatchel, L. L. Adams, A. W. Stowell, D. Bernstein
Year: 2007
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: The Pain Medication Questionnaire (PMQ), initially developed by Adams et al. (J Pain Symptom Manage. 2004; 27: 440-459), is a 26-item self-report assessment to screen for opioid-medication misuse. The PMQ has demonstrated good reliability and validity, and was predictive of early termination from treatment and identified patients who demonstrated maximal benefit from interdisciplinary treatment (Holmes et al. Pain Pract. 2006; 6: 74-88). This study was designed to further evaluate the validity of the PMQ by exploring whether the initial PMQ score would accurately predict the development of aberrant opioid-medication use behaviors relative to specific behavioral indices (ie, request for early refills, use of a medication agreement) and a physician rating of medication misuse behaviors. Patients were grouped according to the initial score on the PMQ based on the median score of 25. Patients with higher PMQ (H-PMQ) scores reported greater levels of perceived disability and decreased physical and mental functioning. Similar to earlier studies, total scores on the PMQ were moderately correlated with initial measures of physical and psychosocial functioning, and observed problematic medication use behaviors observed by physicians during evaluation. Furthermore, excessively high PMQ scores (> or =30) were significantly associated with the need to use a medication agreement or requests for early refills. Five patients were identified from the H-PMQ group who demonstrated problematic opioid-medication use that fell outside of the realm of just early refill requests. Thus, although a PMQ total score > or =25 is indicative of problematic use, a score > or =30 suggests that a patient should be closely monitored when prescribed an opioid medication. Overall, this study again demonstrated that a patient's self-report is significantly correlated with problematic behaviors observed by physicians. Therefore, when utilized in a busy clinic setting, the PMQ will aide in the identification of specific problematic behaviors and beliefs at the outset of treatment that may hinder successful treatment of a patient's pain condition.
