Book Description
Medication nonadherence, or noncompliance, is a pervasive problem with inpatient and outpatient psychiatric populations. Noncompliance is a persistent detriment to effective treatment of patients with psychiatric and health disorders. It is especially a challenge for clinicians in civil and state correctional settings where psychiatric indications are the most common form of treatment. the need for further research with focus on patient characteristics including diagnoses and in particular, gender differences, has been noted in prior literature and served as an impetus for the current study. In this research, a post hoc method was undertaken to examine archived medication compliance data for a 30-day period for 105 male and 163 female psychiatric outpatients from two maximum-security New York State Department of Corrections facilities. A significant gender effect was observed with male patients demonstrating a higher level of medication compliance then their female counterparts. No significant differences in medication compliance within or between designated DSM-IV categories were observed. the findings of the present study were discussed in terms of the implications for clinical or program practice with a focus on the importance of accurate diagnosis. Recommendations for further research were made, including consideration of survey research. Future investigators should pay closer attention to the psychiatric medication concerns of female detainees with mental disorders.

Reducing Suicide
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309169437
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
Every year, about 30,000 people die by suicide in the U.S., and some 650,000 receive emergency treatment after a suicide attempt. Often, those most at risk are the least able to access professional help. Reducing Suicide provides a blueprint for addressing this tragic and costly problem: how we can build an appropriate infrastructure, conduct needed research, and improve our ability to recognize suicide risk and effectively intervene. Rich in data, the book also strikes an intensely personal chord, featuring compelling quotes about people's experience with suicide. The book explores the factors that raise a person's risk of suicide: psychological and biological factors including substance abuse, the link between childhood trauma and later suicide, and the impact of family life, economic status, religion, and other social and cultural conditions. The authors review the effectiveness of existing interventions, including mental health practitioners' ability to assess suicide risk among patients. They present lessons learned from the Air Force suicide prevention program and other prevention initiatives. And they identify barriers to effective research and treatment. This new volume will be of special interest to policy makers, administrators, researchers, practitioners, and journalists working in the field of mental health.

Innovative Mental Health Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean
Author: Jose Miguel Caldas de Almeida
Publisher: Pan Amer Health Org
ISBN: 9789275129067
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
"Each experience described here has its own history, as can be seen in each one of the chapters. Yet, all of them are part of a single reform process with shared historical roots and influences ... As proved by the experiences included in this book, a great deal can be learned from mental health reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. On the one hand, each initiative developed truly original and innovative solutions for some of the problems usually encountered in the reform processes. Obviously, many of the innovative solutions can be applied in those countries that are at a similar stage of development as the Latin American and Caribbean countries where the reported experiences took place. However, many of these innovations also can be useful to any country interested in reforming its mental health services, regardless of the country's degree of development. I also believe that the reform of mental health services in Latin America and the Caribbean--given specific aspects such as the dynamic following the Caracas Declaration and the impact of international cooperation--help us to better understand the real importance of some factors, such as social and political aspects and international cooperation, in implementing mental health service reforms."--p. iv.
