Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objectives: Epidemiological studies consistently reveal high rates of comorbidity between addictive disorders and other psychiatric disorders, but few Canadian treatment facilities explicitly focus on concurrent mental health and addiction problems (i.e., concurrent disorders). This manuscript outlines the development of a multicomponent Concurrent Disorders Program (CDP) at St Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, with particular emphasis on a concurrent disorders inpatient unit. Methods: Prior to implementation, patient demographic and psychiatric diagnostic profiles were assessed via chart review of four acute units (95 beds) over two months. Diagnostic status, overall psychiatric impairment, and self-confidence ratings were collected in individuals with concurrent disorders who were admitted to the CDP inpatient unit from February, 2014 to September, 2015 (N=353). Results: In the four acute units, high rates of concurrent disorders (49%) and low rates of addiction treatment planning (6%) were present. Following the development of the inpatient unit, clinical data indicated heterogeneous diagnostic profiles and high levels of psychiatric severity. Following treatment, patient outcome data indicated significant decreases in overall psychiatric impairment based on staff ratings and significant increases in perceived self-confidence in resisting substance use. Conclusions: Initial patient outcomes show promise for increasing capacity and improving care for those diagnosed with concurrent disorders in an acute psychiatry context. This program may offer useful models and strategies for other psychiatric tertiary care facilities that seek to address concurrent disorders using existing resources. Objectifs: Les études épidémiologiques révèlent constamment des taux élevés de pathologie morbide entre les troubles d'addiction et autres troubles psychiatriques, mais très peu de centres de traitement canadiens se concentrent explicitement sur les problèmes concomitants de santé mentale et de toxicomanie (à savoir, les troubles concomitants). Ce manuscrit décrit le développement d'un multi-composant Concurrent Disorders Program (CDP) à St Joseph de Hamilton, avec une emphase particulière sur les troubles concomitants dans l'unité des patients hospitalisés. Méthodes: Avant sa mise en œuvre, les profils de diagnostic démographiques et psychiatriques des patients étaient évalués par l'examen des dossiers de quatre unités aiguës (95 lits) sur une période de deux mois. Le diagnostic, la déficience psychiatrique globale, et le niveau de confiance en soi étaient recueillis et évalués chez les personnes souffrant de troubles concomitants qui avaient été admis à l'unité d'hospitalisation CDP de Février 2014 à Septembre 2015 (N = 353). Résultats: Dans les quatre unités aiguës, alors que des taux élevés de troubles concomitants (49%) étaient présents, les taux de la planification du traitement de la toxicomanie (6%) étaient très faibles. Suite au développement de l'unité d'hospitalisation, les données cliniques ont indiqué des profils de diagnostic hétérogènes et des niveaux élevés de gravité psychiatrique. Après le traitement, les données sur les résultats des patients ont indiqué une diminution significative de troubles psychiatriques basés sur les notes du personnel et des augmentations significatives de perception dde confiance en soi dans la résistance à l'usage de substances. Conclusions: Les résultats initiaux des patients semblent prometteurs en vue d'augmenter la capacité et l'amélioration des soins pour les personnes diagnostiquées avec des troubles concomitants dans un contexte de psychiatrie aiguë. Ce programme peut offrir des modèles et des stratégies utiles pour d'autres établissements de soins tertiaires psychiatriques qui cherchent à traiter les troubles concomitants en utilisant les ressources existantes.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
