Introduction

Population attributable fraction (PAF) represents

the proportion of treatment failure, which could be avoided, if the

individuals at high risk were similar to the individuals at low risk.

The PAF, however, has not been available for repeated measures

designs.

A relatively prevalent and strong risk factor for many adulthood

disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are adversities and trau-

mas experienced in childhood. Little is, however, known of their

implications for common treatments such as psychotherapy.

Objectives

To develop PAF for repeated measures, and to provide

a useful tool in various research fields to provide decision-makers

results, which are easier to interpret.

This study will examine the relative importance of different child-

hood traumas as predictors of psychotherapy outcome in a patient

population with depressive and anxiety disorders.

Methods

PAF was calculated using generalized linear mixed

models and Bayesian predictive distributions.

The data is based on 326 outpatients, randomized in one long-term

and two short-termpsychotherapies by theHelsinki Psychotherapy

Study. Patientswere assessed up to 10 times during a 5-year follow-

up. A combination of psychiatric symptomsmeasured, is used as the

outcome measure.

Results

The repeated measures PAF will provide a useful aggre-

gate measure over the follow-up time and over the patient

population.

Conclusions

The repeated measures PAF will provide insight on

the relative importance of the different domains of childhood

traumas on therapy outcome. Associations of individual-level risk

factors do not provide guidelines for policy decisions, which should

acknowledge also prevalences of the risk factors in the patient pop-

ulation.

Introduction/objectives

The available literature suggests that

treatments and health services for psychosis are considered to be

poorly organized and highly variable. Little is known, however,

about how inpatient care is provided to individuals experiencing

early psychosis. To facilitate quality improvement activities, we

characterized the care this patient group receives in an inner city

hospital.

Methods

We performed chart reviews of individuals admitted to

psychiatric inpatient units at St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, British

Columbia between 01/04/2014 and 31/03/2016. Those who were

17–25 years of age and hospitalized for psychotic symptoms at the

time of admission were included. Demographic and health service

use were summarized using descriptive characteristics.

Results

We identified 73 inpatients (mean age = 22; males = 78%;

Caucasian = 41%) that met study inclusion criteria, having a com-

bined total of 102 care episodes and an average length of stay

of 30.7 days (median = 18; min = 3; max = 268). Half of the care

episodes were repeat admissions, with up to 30% of the patients

readmitted within 28 days of discharge. Physical and mental status

examinations (MSE) were performed in virtually all care episodes,

although frequency is low (31.4% had daily physical examinations

and 18.6% had MSE every nursing shift). In 49% and 50% of care

episodes, patients were given oral antipsychotics and discharged

on depot medications. Even when indicated, not all care episodes

had follow-up appointments (60%) or referrals to income assistance

(35%), community mental health teams (61%), and housing support

(38%).

Conclusions

Specific programs are needed to address current

gaps in inpatient care for patients with early psychosis.

Objectives

Mental health conditions (MHC) have been associated

with restrictions in daily life participation and functioning affect-

ing health and well-being. Substantial numbers of people with

MHC experience hospitalizations, however, there is limited evi-

dence supporting functional interventions in the in-patient setting

to promote recovery. The OC is an intervention implemented dur-

ing sub-acute hospitalization, which attempts to promote activity

and participation of people with MHC, both during the in-patient

stay and upon return to the community, with a view to enabling

recovery. To facilitate its implementation, we investigate the OC

effectiveness.

Aims

Investigate theOC contribution to cognition, symptoms and

functional capacity among inpatients with schizophrenia.

Methods

This is a quasi-experimental, prospective, pre/post-

designed study with convenience sampling. Inpatients with

schizophrenia were enrolled into the study group participating in

the OC intervention (

n

= 16); or the control group participating in

hospital treatment as usual (

n

= 17). The study participants com-

pleted evaluations at baseline and at discharge or after 10 weeks

with: Neurocognitive State Examination, Trail Making Test, Ray

Complex Figure, and Category Fluency Test for aspects of cogni-

tion; Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for symptoms severity,

and Observed Tasks of Daily Living-Revised for functional capacity.
