The relation between psychological need satisfaction in acute psychiatric hospital and recovery among emerging adults: A self-determination theory approach.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Mental illness and addiction are prevalent during emerging adulthood and are associated with poorer functioning and quality of life. Research supports early intervention for enhancing recovery, though emerging adults frequently disengage from services, reducing effectiveness of early care. Research on self-determination theory shows healthcare climates that support psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness foster sustained engagement in treatment and health-promoting behaviors. The present study hypothesized that more need satisfying (and less frustrating) psychiatric hospital experiences would relate to various indicators of recovery among emerging adults. METHODS: One-hundred four emerging adults from an acute psychiatric inpatient unit completed an adapted questionnaire measuring need satisfaction in the hospital and surveys of treatment attitudes, illness identity, and wellness during the 3rd week of their hospital stay. Six-month postdischarge service utilization data were obtained through electronic health databases. RESULTS: A more need satisfying hospital experience was associated with greater autonomous motivation for treatment, more positive attitudes toward medications and services, more adaptive illness identification, and greater well-being. Greater need frustration was related to less autonomous and more controlled motivation for treatment, less positive attitudes toward medications and services, less adaptive illness identification, and lower well-being. While neither need satisfaction nor frustration related to subsequent visits to the emergency department or rehospitalization, a need frustrating hospital experience related to fewer attended community appointments during the 6 months following discharge. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Hospital experiences that satisfy (and do not frustrate) the psychological needs of emerging adults may promote recovery and treatment engagement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
