Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined whether patient-reported measures (PRMs) addressing quality of life, personal agency, functional impairment, and treatment satisfaction at hospital discharge were associated with future readmission during a 12-month follow-up period. The study also examined whether readmission influenced changes in the same measures. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted at 21 psychiatric hospitals in Japan. Participants completed the EuroQol-five-dimensions-five-level (EQ-5D), the Five-item Subjective Personal Agency Scale, and the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) at the time of index admission (T1), discharge from index admission (T2), and 6 months (T3) and 12 months (T4) after discharge. Inpatient treatment satisfaction was assessed at T2. Readmission and variables potentially associated with hospitalization and PRMs were evaluated using mixed-effects logistic regression models and mixed models for repeated measures. RESULTS A total of 491 participants were followed for 12 months (attrition rate: 19.4%), and 480 were included in the EQ-5D analysis. The most common diagnoses were schizophrenia (59%), depression (14%), and bipolar disorder (13%). No patient-reported measures were significantly associated with readmission over the follow-up period. Interaction of readmission and time did not significantly affect changes in EQ-5D. Readmission did significantly influence SDS score changes between T2 and T3 (B = 1.78, 95% CI = 0.30-3.25, p = 0.018) and between T3 and T4 (B = 1.43, 95% CI = 0.14-2.72, p = 0.029). The same influence of readmission on SDS score changes was not observed in the model which adjusted for all potential covariates. CONCLUSION Readmission was potentially associated with changes in self-reported functional impairment. Findings highlight the potential role of intensive post-discharge services in preventing readmission, rather than relying on time-of-discharge PRMs in order to predict readmission risk. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000034220).

Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in outpatient psychiatry - is there an association to perceived discrimination and devaluation? Front Psychiatry 2024; 15:1378487. [PMID: 38699444 PMCID: PMC11064698 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1378487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) are gaining significance in the field of psychiatry, with patient satisfaction being a key measure. However, it is unclear if patient satisfaction in psychiatry is influenced by variables outside the treatment setting. This brief report thus examines the possible impact of perceived discrimination and devaluation (PDD) on patient satisfaction in the psychiatric outpatient setting. Data from 1,126 individuals who were undergoing or had recently completed treatment at 15 outpatient centers of the Psychiatric University Clinic in Basel, Switzerland, was analyzed. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the Münsterlingen Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (MüPF), and perceived stigma was measured with the Perceived Discrimination Devaluation Scale. The results revealed a positive small effect size relationship between MüPF and PDD, suggesting that patients who perceived less stigma report higher treatment satisfaction. This relationship may affect most ratings, with the total MüPF score remaining relatively robust against this potential influence. Linear regression analysis indicated that a one-unit increase in PDD score could lead to a maximum change of 1.8 points on the 7-point Likert scale for the MüPF item correlating highest with PDD and 0.4 points on the total MüPF score. These findings highlight the importance of considering perceived stigma when evaluating patient satisfaction with psychiatric outpatient treatment. Future research should investigate associations between stigma, patient satisfaction, treatment outcome, as well as other external factors that may influence patient satisfaction in psychiatric settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION People with schizophrenia are more likely to be hospitalised than any other psychiatric diagnosis. Occupational therapists working in mental health are often required to assess and recommend supports that will assist people with schizophrenia to live successfully in the community. There is little research exploring consumer perspectives regarding the support they find useful to stay out of the hospital. The aim of this study was to explore what supports people living with schizophrenia identify as helping them to live in the community and stay out of the hospital. METHOD Qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews with adult consumers (N = 18) diagnosed with schizophrenia. Data were thematically analysed using constant comparative analysis methods. Inductive analysis was followed by a deductive phase of analysis. FINDINGS Participants highlighted personal-, occupational- and environmental-focused supports. Person-focused supports addressed cognitive and psychological needs. Occupation-focused supports included assisting people to manage daily life with a mental illness; engage in social activities; and engage in meaningful activities. Environment-focused supports included access to financial security; accommodation security; and community of choice. In addition to types of support, participants highlighted the importance of quality of support including the need for flexible; timely; and non-judgemental support. CONCLUSION These results emphasise the multifaceted nature of support required by people living with schizophrenia to stay out of the hospital. Both type and quality of support are important. People in this study were able to clearly articulate the types and qualities of support that were important to them. Occupational therapists may benefit from greater collaboration with consumers during assessments of support needs and the development of recommendations. Further exploration of how occupational therapists identify people's multifaceted support needs is required.

Transition from an adolescent to an adult eating disorder treatment centre: A qualitative investigation of the experience of inpatients with anorexia nervosa and their carers using interpretative phenomenological analysis. EUROPEAN EATING DISORDERS REVIEW 2023.

Abstract
AIMS To capture the subjective experience of eating disorder patients and their immediate family members in the transition between adolescent and adult treatment services and to explore how both groups make sense of this specific experience. DESIGN Qualitative study in the form of in-depth interviews using interpretative phenomenological analysis. SETTINGS Participants were recruited from a university department of a large psychiatric hospital specialising in eating disorders between July 2021 and September 2022. PARTICIPANTS A convenience sample of 18 participants was recruited, including 12 patients aged 19-30 years (m = 22.5, SD = 3.8) and six of their respective caregivers. RESULTS Four main themes were identified in relation to the participants' experience of transition to adult care: (1) the detailed description of the transition process, (2) the emotions associated with this experience, (3) the challenges encountered and (4) recommendations for improving the process. Two fundamental meaning-making processes emerged: the feeling of being "lost in transition" and the opportunity to "become an adult". The results highlighted the factors that characterise this experience for patients and their families, and the need for practical and psychological support during the transition process. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a unique insight into the experience of patients and their immediate family members regarding the transition from adolescent to adult care. It reveals the multidimensional impact of the transition experience and highlights the need for increased support for family members. These findings may provide new insights into interventions that promote successful transition and encourage rethinking the organisation of this crucial stage of the care pathway.
