Psychiatric Problems

This paper reports a survey of psychiatric referral patterns on the inpatient wards of a Canadian general hospital over a 5-year period. The results demonstrate the useful contributions which psychiatric consultants can make to the care of physically ill patients. The most frequent consultation requests were for assistance with diagnostic problems and the management of depression or other psychopathology accompanying physical illness. The majority of consultation patients, 69.4%, had concurrent physical and psychiatric diagnoses and could be managed collaboratively on the services from which they were referred. Only 6.64% of the referred patients were transferred to a psychiatric ward, which reflected the philosophy of the consultation-liaison service to treat the psychiatric problems of the physically ill in the medical setting. The findings from the survey are compared with reports from general hospitals in Britain and the United States where the underutilization of psychiatric consultation services has been well demonstrated. Factors influencing the referral process, including liaison activities, are discussed and the limitations of consultation-liaison psychiatry, acknowledged. Changes in medical and nursing education are suggested to promote the wider practice of comprehensive patient care.

Specialized Education

Purpose Through a hypothetical case study, this article aimed to describe an evidence-based approach for speech-language pathologists in managing students with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly within a formal statewide-supported school-based brain injury team model, such as the BrainSTEPS Brain Injury School Consulting Program operating in Pennsylvania and Colorado. Conclusion Upon transitioning from the medical setting back to school, children with TBI present with unique educational needs. Children with moderate-to-severe TBIs can demonstrate a range of strengths and deficits in speech, language, cognition, and feeding and swallowing, impacting their participation in various school activities. The specialized education, training, and insight of speech-language pathologists, in collaboration with multidisciplinary medical and educational team members, can enable the success of students with TBI when transitioning back to school postinjury ( DePompei & Blosser, 2019 ; DePompei & Tyler, 2018 ). This transition should focus on educational planning, implementation of strategies and supports, and postsecondary planning for vocations or higher education.

Abstract. Background: Gatekeeper training is an effective suicide prevention strategy. However, the appropriate targets of online gatekeeping have not yet been clarified. Aim: We examined the association between the outcomes of online gatekeeping using the Internet and the characteristics of consultation service users. Method: An advertisement to encourage the use of e-mail-based psychological consultation services among viewers was placed on web pages that showed the results of searches using suicide-related keywords. All e-mails received between October 2014 and December 2015 were replied to as part of gatekeeping, and the obtained data (responses to an online questionnaire and the content of the received e-mails) were analyzed. Results: A total of 154 consultation service users were analyzed, 35.7% of whom were male. The median age range was 20–29 years. Online gatekeeping was significantly more likely to be successful when such users faced financial/daily life or workplace problems, or revealed their names (including online names). By contrast, the activity was more likely to be unsuccessful when it was impossible to assess the problems faced by consultation service users. Conclusion: It may be possible to increase the success rate of online gatekeeping by targeting individuals facing financial/daily life or workplace problems with marked tendencies for self-disclosure.
