Experiences of Community-based Case Management for Early Psychosis: Focusing on Social Treatment for Early Psychosis (STEP) Program

Objective: The study was undertaken to assess whether social and living skills functioning predicted community survival between subjects with chronic schizophrenia and early episode psychosis after receiving assertive community-based case management. Method: Forty-two chronic schizophrenia patients and 49 early psychosis subjects were measured on hospitalisation for up to 3 years after receiving equivalent community-based assertive case management. A Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed to compare community survival between the two groups. A Cox-regression analysis was used to investigate whether sex, age, social and occupational functioning measured by the social and occupational functional assessment score (SOFAS), living skills measured by the life skills profile score (LSP), and overall role functioning measured by the role functioning scale (RFS) predicted community survival. Subscales of the LSP were also analysed in a subsequent Cox-regression using the forward selection method. Results: Differences in rate of community survival were not statistically significant (using the log-rank Chi-squared test) between subjects with early psychosis and chronic schizophrenia; however, half of the early psychosis subjects survived past the 12-month period while only a third of the chronic schizophrenia subjects did so within the same time period. The life skill profile was a significant predictor of community survival with low scores on the subscale of non-turbulence (i.e. antisocial behaviour) contributing to poorer community survival. Conclusion: The amount of antisocial behaviour displayed while receiving assertive community-based case management may be an important predictor of community survival among subjects with early psychosis and chronic schizophrenia. Treatment of such behaviour may improve community survival among these populations.

Community Based Services

ABSTRACTBackground:Worldwide trends of increasing dementia prevalence, have put economic and workforce pressures to shifting care for persons with dementia from residential care to home care.Methods:We reviewed the effects of the four dominant models of home care delivery on outcomes for community-dwelling persons with dementia. These models are: case management, integrated care, consumer directed care, and restorative care. This narrative review describes benefits and possible drawbacks for persons with dementia outcomes and elements that comprise successful programs.Results:Case management for persons with dementia may increase use of community-based services and delay nursing home admission. Integrated care is associated with greater client satisfaction, increased use of community based services, and reduced hospital days however the clinical impacts on persons with dementia and their carers are not known. Consumer directed care increases satisfaction with care and service usage, but had little effect on clinical outcomes. Restorative models of home care have been shown to improve function and quality of life however these trials have excluded persons with dementia, with the exception of a pilot study.Conclusions:There has been a little research into models of home care for people with dementia, and no head-to-head comparison of the different models. Research to inform evidence-based policy and service delivery for people with dementia needs to evaluate both the impact of different models on outcomes, and investigate how to best deliver these models to maximize outcomes.

Drug Free

The failure of incarceration as a response to drug offenses has resulted in new policies supporting community-based alternatives. One challenge has been finding appropriate housing for persons on probation and parole. Sober living houses (SLHs) are alcohol- and drug-free living environments that are increasingly being used as housing options for these individuals. The current study examined 6- and 12-month outcomes for 330 persons on probation or parole who entered 49 SLHs. Residents in 22 houses ( n = 149 individuals) were randomly assigned to receive a “Motivational Interviewing Case Management” (MICM) intervention and residents in the other 27 houses ( n = 181 individuals) received SLH residency as usual. At 6- and 12-month follow-up, both study conditions showed significant improvement relative to baseline on substance abuse, criminal justice, HIV risk, and employment outcomes. For persons who attended at least one MICM session, there were better criminal justice outcomes compared with the SLH as usual group.
