Psychological Problems in Adolescent Residential Community Based Treatment

BackgroundAlthough modern psychiatric services seek alternatives to hospitalisation wherever appropriate, the national trend toward higher bed occupancies on acute psychiatric wards has refocused attention on community-based alternatives and methods of assessing reed for acute care.MethodWe surveyed key decision makers in a community-oriented district service with a low acute psychiatric bed to population ratio, in order to examine alternatives to hospitalisation in a cohort of consecutive admissions over a six-month period.ResultsAlternatives to acute ward hospitalisation were identified for 29% of admissions, and for 42% of those with an admission duration of more than 60 days. Residential options were chosen more often than intensive community support. Simulated bed day savings were considerable.ConclusionsIn a community-oriented service, key decision-makers could identify further alternatives to acute ward hospitalisation, although relatively few non-residential, community support options were chosen. Although this methodology has limitations, data based upon keyworker judgements probably have greater local ‘ownership’, and the option appraisal process itself may challenge stereotyped patterns of resource use.

Objective. The current study is aimed at investigating the association between stressful life events and psychological problems in a large sample of Iranian adults. Method. In a cross-sectional large-scale community-based study, 4763 Iranian adults, living in Isfahan, Iran, were investigated. Grouped outcomes latent factor regression on latent predictors was used for modeling the association of psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and psychological distress), measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), as the grouped outcomes, and stressful life events, measured by a self-administered stressful life events (SLEs) questionnaire, as the latent predictors. Results. The results showed that the personal stressors domain has significant positive association with psychological distress (β=0.19), anxiety (β=0.25), depression (β=0.15), and their collective profile score (β=0.20), with greater associations in females (β=0.28) than in males (β=0.13) (all P<0.001). In addition, in the adjusted models, the regression coefficients for the association of social stressors domain and psychological problems profile score were 0.37, 0.35, and 0.46 in total sample, males, and females, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusion. Results of our study indicated that different stressors, particularly those socioeconomic related, have an effective impact on psychological problems. It is important to consider the social and cultural background of a population for managing the stressors as an effective approach for preventing and reducing the destructive burden of psychological problems.

Housing well-being requires reflective and formative as a benchmark to assess the welfare of individuals in their dwellings. Formative indicators point to the evaluation of the satisfaction of residential features, while reflective indicators look at the gap between expectations and existing in the neighborhood, one of which is in the neighboring neighborhoods that are part of the residential community. Sense of community is an early stage in the individual to see the community. Based on the map of existing research results in terms of residential satisfaction. The study used this meta-analysis strategy to examine the results of previous research on the consistency between the sense of community in shaping housing welfare. This meta-analysis study resulted that a sense of community contributing to housing welfare.Abstrak: Kesejahteraan psikologis dijelaskan sebagai suatu pencapaian yang holistik dari potensi psikologis seseorang dan suatu keadaan ketika individu dapat menerima kekuatan maupun kelemahan, memiliki tujuan hidup, mengembangkan relasi positif yang bermuara pada pertumbuhan pribadi dimanapun individu berada, terlebih dalam lingkungan tinggalnya. Konsep kesejahteraan psikologis inipun berkembang dalam lingkup hunian yang mencetuskan perspektif kesejahteraan psikologis dalam menghuni (housing well-being) yang memandang pada pencapaian potensi secara optimal beserta fungsi psikologis positif seseorang terhadap tempat tinggalnya. Pada indikatornya, housing well-being mensyaratkan reflektif dan formatif sebagai tolak ukur untuk menilai kesejahteraan psikologis individu pada huniannya. Indikator formatif menunjuk pada evaluasi kepuasan menyeluruh fitur hunian, sementara indikator reflektif melihat pada senjang antara harapan dan kenyataan yang ada di lingkungan tinggal, salah satunya adalah kepuasan dalam bertetangga yang merupakan bagian dari komunitas tinggal. Sense of community merupakan tahap awal dalam diri individu untuk melihat komunitasnya. Berdasarkan peta penelitian diperoleh hasil bahwa terdapat peran sense of community dalam housing well-being. Penelitian yang menggunakan strategi meta-analisa ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hasil-hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan peneliti sebelumnya tentang kekonsistenan antara sense of community dalam membentuk housing well-being. Studi meta-analisis ini menghasilkan bahwa sense of community memberikan kontribusi terhadap housing well-being.</div></div>

Through questionnaires and household interviews, the author sorted out assumptions and requirements of the elderly in hardware facilities (e.g. residential monomer, external environment, and supporting facilities, etc.) of a residential community. Based on the single factor analysis on above aspects, multi-factor analysis of different regions, different ages of the senior people were also launched to discuss corresponding planning means of hardware facilities in residential community planning.
