BackgroundThe goal of this study was to explore the notion that anomalies of self-experience (ASE) are a core, ‘not-yet-psychotic’ clinical phenotype of emerging schizophrenia and its spectrum.MethodTo accomplish this goal, we examined the relationship between ASE and commonly accepted risk markers in a sample of 87 help-seeking, non-psychotic adolescents (aged 14–18 years). ASE were assessed with the Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE), subclinical psychotic symptoms were assessed with the Prodromal Questionnaire and the Structured Interview for Prodromal Syndromes, deterioration in psychosocial functioning was assessed with the Social and Role Functioning Scales, and level of distress with the Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire.ResultsAbout 82 participants completed the entire EASE interview. The number of participants who reported ASE at a clinically meaningful level (n = 18, 22%) was smaller than that who met diagnostic criteria for a prodromal syndrome (n = 28, 34%). The degree of overlap between the two conditions was moderate but statistically significant (χ2(1) = 7.01, p = 0.008). An exploratory factor analysis revealed that ASE load on a different factor than prodromal symptoms and deterioration in functioning, but that there is a moderate correlation between the three factors.ConclusionsThese results suggest that ASE are prevalent among non-psychotic help-seeking adolescents, yet at a considerably lower rate than prodromal symptoms. In addition, they suggest that ASE and prodromal symptoms constitute distinct but moderately related dimensions of potential risk. Taken together, they provide preliminary support for the clinical usefulness of supplementing and refining the methods of early detection of risk with assessment of ASE.

Klien schizophrenia mengalami penurunan kemandirian dalam perawatan diri, fungsi sosial, sehingga membutuhkan bantuan keluarga. Self efficacy dapat memengaruhi keyakinan keluarga ketika merawat klien schizophrenia. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi psikoedukasi keluarga terhadap self efficacy keluarga dan sosial okupasi klien schizophrenia di Kecamatan Kersamanah Garut. Metode penelitian menggunakan quasi eksperimen dengan pre-post test with control group. Populasi yaitu keluarga yang merawat (caregiver) klien schizophrenia di Desa Nanjungjaya, Sukamaju, Mekaraya, Sukamerang dan Girijaya. Jumlah sampel 32 responden dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol (16) dan intervensi (16), Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan quota sample. Pada kelompok intervensi dilakukan terapi psikoedukasi keluarga, kemudian sebelum dan sesudah intervensi dilakukan pengukuran self efficacy keluarga dan sosial okupasi klien schizophrenia. Kelompok kontrol tidak diintervensi, hanya mendapat pendidikan kesehatan dengan metode ceramah tentang perawatan klien schizophrenia. Penelitian menggunakan Perceived Collective Family Efficacy Quisioner dan Social Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perubahan bermakna self efficacy keluarga dengan sosial okupasi klien schizophrenia setelah diberikan terapi psikoedukasi p<0,05) dan terdapat perbedaan perubahan bermakna pada kelompok kontrol dan intervensi (p<0,05). Peneliti merekomendasikan penggunaan terapi psikoedukasi keluarga sebagai terapi modalitas pada keluarga yang merawat klien schizophrenia.Kata kunci: Keluarga, okupasi, psikoedukasi, self efficacy, schizophrenia. The Influence of Family Psychoeducation Therapy on Self Efficacy Family And Social Occupations Schizophrenia’s ClientsAbstractSchizophrenic clients have decreased in self-sufficiency in self-care, social functions,and thus those clients require family assistance. Self-efficacy, in this matter, can affect family beliefs when taking care the schizophrenic clients. Therefore, the study aims to determine the influence of family psychoeducation therapy on family self-efficacy and social occupation of schizophrenic clients in Kersamanah sub-district, Garut. The research method used is quasi experiment with pre-test and posttest with control group. The population is the caregiver family of schizophrenic clients in Nanjungjaya, Sukamaju, Mekaraya, Sukamerang and Girijaya villages. The sample size of 32 respondents are divided into control group (16) and intervention group (16), sampling technique used is quota sample. In the intervention group, family psychoeducation therapy is performed before and after the intervention (treatment), measuring the family self-efficacy and social occupation of schizophrenic clients. The control group is not intervened, they only received a health education with a lecture method on how to take care of a schizophrenic client. The study used the Perceived Collective Family Efficacy Quisioner and Social Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale. The results show that there are significant changes in family self-efficacy with social occupational schizophrenia patients after psychoeducation therapy aplllied p <0.05) and there are significant differences in control and intervention group of (p <0.05). Thus, the researcher recommends to use of family psychoeducation therapy as a modal therapy in families to treat their schizophrenic family.Keywords: Family, occupational, psychoeducation, self-efficacy, schizophrenia.

Aims: Services for individuals with a first episode of psychosis or at ultra-high risk of psychosis have become a treatment model of choice in mental health care. The longitudinal changes in clinical and functional outcomes as a result of real-world treatment remain under-reported. Methods: We analysed data from first episode of psychosis and ultra-high risk services delivered across Australian primary youth mental health care services known as headspace between 19 June 2017 and 30 September 2019. Outcome measures were completed and entered into a minimum dataset every 90 days a participant was receiving treatment and included psychiatric symptomatology (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and psychological distress, K10) and psychosocial functioning (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale and My Life Tracker). Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate changes in outcome over time. Results: Outcome data from a total of 1252 young people were evaluated (643 first episode of psychosis, 609 ultra-high risk). Of those who entered ultra-high risk services, 11.8% transitioned to first episode of psychosis services. Overall, substantial improvement in clinical (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, K10) and functional (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale, My Life Tracker) outcomes were seen across groups and outcomes. Ultra-high risk patients showed a greater reduction in distress symptoms, while first episode of psychosis patients experienced a greater reduction in positive psychosis symptoms. Although clinical outcomes showed a plateau effect after approximately 3 months of care, improvement in functional outcomes (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale, My Life Tracker) continued later in treatment. Conclusion: These findings support the use of real-time, real-world and low-cost administrative data to rigorously evaluate symptomatic and functional outcomes in early psychosis treatment settings. Findings that functional outcomes improve past the remittance of clinical outcomes also support the functional recovery focus of early psychosis services and remaining high levels of distress suggest the need for ultra-high risk services to extend beyond 6 months of care.

Abstract Background Many frequently used instruments fail to assess psychosocial functioning in patients with bipolar disorder. The Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) was developed in order to tackle this problem and to assess the main functioning problems experienced by patients with bipolar disorder. However, the original FAST is not fully applicable in older adults due to the domain of occupational functioning. The aim of our study was to validate an adapted version for Older adults (FAST-O) in a group of older adults with bipolar disorder (OABD). Methods 88 patients aged 50 years and over diagnosed with bipolar disorder were included. We adapted the items in the area of “work-related functioning” of the FAST into items assessing “societal functioning”. Several measurements were conducted in order to analyse the psychometric qualities of the FAST-O (confirmatory factor analysis for internal structure, Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency, Spearman’s rho for concurrent validity, Mann–Whitney U test for discriminant validity). Results Mean age in the study sample was 65.3 (SD = 7.5) and 57.3% was female. The internal structure was most similar to the internal structure of the original FAST. The internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = .93). The concurrent validity when correlated with the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale was low, but significant. The FAST-O was also able to distinguish between euthymic and symptomatic OABD patients. Conclusions The FAST-O has strong psychometric qualities. Based on our results, we can conclude that the FAST-O is a short, efficient solution in order to replace global rating scales or extensive test batteries in order to assess daily functioning of older psychiatric patients in a valid and reliable manner.
