Title : Psychiatric nurses's attitude and practice toweard physical restraint Material Type: printed text Authors: Mahmoud, Amal Sobhy, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.8-12 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.8-12Keywords: Psychiatric nurses.Nurses's attitude.Physical restraint. Abstract: Aim
This study was to assess psychiatric nurses' attitude and practice toward physical restraint among mentally ill patients.
Methods
A descriptive research design was used to achieve the study objective. The present study was carried out in three specialized governmental mental hospitals and two psychiatric wards in general hospital. A convenient purposive sample of 96 nurses who were working in the previously mentioned setting was included. The tool used for data collection was the Self-Administered Structured Questionnaire; it included three parts: The first comprised items concerned with demographic characteristics of the nurses, the second comprised 10 item measuring nurses' attitudes toward physical restraint, and the third was used to assess nurses' practices regarding use of physical restraint.
Results
There were insignificant differences between attitudes and practices in relation to nurses' sex, level of education, years of experience and work place. Moreover, a positive significant correlation was found between nurses' total attitude scores, and practices regarding use of physical restraint.
Conclusion
Psychiatric nurses have positive attitude and adequate practice toward using physical restraints as an alternative management for psychiatric patients. It is important for psychiatric nurses to acknowledge that physical restraints should be implemented as the last resort. The study recommended that it is important for psychiatric nurses to acknowledge that physical restraints should be implemented as the last resort.
In psychiatric hospitals, patients' violence and threats of violence constitute serious emergencies that may be difficult to handle by staff. Physical restraints (PRs) refer to any physical methods of restricting a person's freedom of movement, physical activity or normal access to his or her body (Martin, 2002). Moreover it is used in psychiatric health care settings as one of the psychiatric managements to reduce the risk of harm among psychiatric patients whether it is directed toward self or toward others (Gelkopt Roffe, Behrbak, Melamed, Werbloff et al., 2009). The use of PR as an intervention in the care of psychiatric patients goes back to the beginning of the science of psychiatry. However, it is still one of the challenging questions in the psychiatric services and has always been considered as a moral argument (Iversen, 2009, Steinert et al., 2010). Physical restraint includes devices designed to limit a patient's physical movements such as limb holders, safety vests and bandages. It is used to handle violent and maladaptive behaviors, manage patients with severe mental disorders, prevent injury and reduce agitation and aggression (Akansel, 2007, Capezuti, 2004, Chien et al., 2005).
Nurses are closely involved in caring for restrained patients. The common absence of medical orders for starting or removing physical restraints indicates that the nurses mostly make these decisions. Their roles start with the selection of the least restricting arm restraint device available, followed by ones responsible and ending with modifying the patient care plan based on an hourly assessment of the patient's response and physical condition (De Jonghe et al., 2013).
Several attempts have been made to reduce the integration of restraints in the clinical practice, as most studies used educational approaches in order to encourage nurses to use alternative measures instead of physical restraint. All studies delivered intensive training sessions and introduced a nurse specialist as a consultant; however, the success rate of these interventions in different countries has been variable; for example a successful educational intervention applied on nurses working in the USA proved to be ineffective in The Netherlands (Becker et al., 2007, Capezuti et al., 2007, Huizing et al., 2006).
In general, research findings revealed that patients as a result of being restrained reported that they felt angry, helpless, sad, and powerless, punished, embarrassed, and that their right to autonomy and privacy has been violated, in addition to a feeling of loss of self worth, degradation, demoralization and humiliation while they are restrained (Elgamal, 2006, The American Psychiatric Nurses Association, 2001, The JOANNA Briggs Institute, 2002). Most of the patients' subjective experiences highlight the negative impact of physical restraint on the patients. These experiences were summarized in two themes: restriction and discomfort. Restriction relates to loss of freedom and control over what is happening during hospitalization, while discomfort is caused by enforced immobility, i.e. from patient narrative comment:“I felt like a dog and cried all night, it hurts me to have to be tied up, and I'm in a jail stuck, I couldn't even bring my hands together” (Sailas and Wahlbeck, 2005;;Suen et al., 2006).
A study about psychiatric staff's thoughts and feelings about restraint use, found that the risk of harm and the use of restraint conflicted with nurses' role to protect. Nurses did not want to use restraints as a first option (Aschen, 1995, Hantikainen and Ka¨ppeli, 2000, Hennessy et al., 1997, Karlsson, 2000). In most of the studies the nursing staff reported a range of emotional reaction felt while doing restraint procedure, including anxiety, anger, feeling bored or distressed, crying, inadequacy, hopelessness, frustration, fear, guilt, dissatisfaction, isolation, being overwhelmed, feeling drained, vengeance and repugnance (Kamel, Maximos, & Gaafar, 2007).
In another study the nursing staff described how they had come hardened to the experience of restraint. Some of them reported that they had no emotional reaction and many reported automatic responding during restraint event in which they did not feel any emotion. This lack of feeling among nurses might be due to the fact that the practice had become so ritualized that it does not provoke any reaction (Sequeira & Halstead, 2004). Nurses' attitudes toward physical restraints described as ambivalent, characterized by respect for a person's dignity and by anxiety and the responsibility for the resident's safety. Nurses described feelings of frustration and guilt when they used physical restraints against the will of a resident (Hantikainen and Ka¨ppeli, 2000, Karlsson, 2000).
Attitudes toward physical restraint can affect on nurses' performance and behavior, especially psychiatric patients who already confronting and discrimination, which may express also by professionals and the general public (Emrich, Thomson, & Moore, 2003). Getting in touch with psychiatric patients and getting knowledge can help in replacing the myths with facts, decreasing stigma and affecting attitudes positively (Halters, 2004).
Physical restraints are a common practice in psychiatric hospitals, with prevalence rates ranging between 33% and 68% in hospital settings (Hamers & Huizing, 2005). Since nurses' attitude and practice play an important role in psychiatric health care setting, it was deemed important to develop a restraint policy and educate nurses how to implement it because hospitals in Sudan do not have policies and there are illegal uses of restraint recorded.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27070 [article] Psychiatric nurses's attitude and practice toweard physical restraint [printed text] / Mahmoud, Amal Sobhy, Author . - 2017 . - p.8-12.

Title : Post traumatic stress disorder in parents of children with cancer in Jordan Material Type: printed text Authors: Masa'deh, Rami, Author ; Jarrah, Samiha, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.8-12 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.8-12Keywords: Traumatic stress disorder.Parents children cancer.Jordan. Abstract: Aim
To investigate levels of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of those parenting children with cancer and make a comparison between mothers and fathers.
Background
Parenting a child with cancer is traumatic. Maternal and paternal roles and responsibilities change after the cancer diagnosis of their child, adding more stress to the lives of all concerned. The gender of the parent may have an effect on their PTSD. However, there is a lack of studies in Arabic countries on the differences between parents in their PTSD levels.
Methods
A sample of 416 biological parents (comprising 207 mothers and 209 fathers) of children with cancer in Jordan completed a demographic checklist and the PTSD Checklist Civilian (PCLC).
Results
There was a significant difference in PTSD levels between mothers and fathers, with mothers having significantly higher PTSD levels than fathers. The mean PTSD levels for mothers was M = 59.68, SD = 4.86) compared to (M = 52.76, SD = 5.81) for fathers. The magnitude of the differences in the means was very large (eta squared = 0.29). Additionally, results indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between parental PTSD levels with their age and the time since their child was diagnosed with cancer (r = −0.68, r = −0.62 respectively and p < 0.001). An increase in parental PTSD levels was associated with a decrease in parental age and short time duration since the cancer diagnosis of the child.
Conclusion
The study concluded that parenting children with cancer is traumatic and mothers were at higher risk of PTSD than fathers. Risk of PTSD was found to decrease with time.
Implications for nursing EBP Investigating differences in PTSD between mothers and fathers in Jordan may be helpful when designing interventions to reduce the risk of PTSD. An individual parental support program is important, taking into consideration that mothers are at higher risk of PTSD, and both parents need thorough attention and care.

Based on the stress process model, we designed a cross-sectional study to examine the mediating and moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between gender and caregiver burden. Caregivers of individuals with severe mental illness (n = 201) were recruited in two psychiatric outpatient clinics in Malaysia. The relationship between the gender of the caregiver and caregiver burden was mediated by resilience, thus supporting the stress process model. The findings from the present research contribute to the growing evidence of the interaction between socio-demographic variables of caregivers and resilience, and caregiver burden.

Title : Psychological Distress in Jordanian Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Positive Reappraisal Coping Material Type: printed text Authors: Rayan, Abmad, Author ; Ahmad, Muayyad, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.38-42 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.38-42Keywords: Aggressive behavior.Child psychiatric. Abstract: Background
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently report poor psychological well-being. Positive reappraisal coping (PRC) is a coping strategy which offers a protective effect from anxiety and depression. However, the association between PRC and the psychological distress in parents of children with ASD has yet to be established.
Aim
This study examines the association between PRC and the psychological distress in parents of children with ASD.
Method
In this descriptive correlational study, 104 parents of children with ASD completed measures of psychological distress and PRC. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to examine the association between PRC and the psychological distress in parents after controlling the influence of parental age and gender.
Results
The PRC was associated with the psychological distress in parents above and beyond the variance accounted for by parental age and gender. After controlling for parental age and gender, PRC had significant negative correlation with the levels of anxiety, stress, and depression in parents (Anxiety: β = −0.36, p < 0.001; Stress: β = −0.21, p = 0.03; Depression: β = − 0.37, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Using positive reappraisal coping strategy may help to reduce psychological distress in parents of children with ASD.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27075 [article] Psychological Distress in Jordanian Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Positive Reappraisal Coping [printed text] / Rayan, Abmad, Author ; Ahmad, Muayyad, Author . - 2017 . - p.38-42.

Abstract: This study aims at detecting and categorizing early warning signs of aggressive behavior in child psychiatric units. We analyzed 575 violent incident report forms and developed a coding scheme consisting of 16 warning signs.
From the 575 incident report forms, a total of 1087 signs were coded. Most common warning signs were ‘restlessness’ (21.2%), ‘not listening’ (15.2%) and ‘anger’ (9.8%). These were also the most prevalent warning signs for the severe incidents.

Abstract: This study aims at detecting and categorizing early warning signs of aggressive behavior in child psychiatric units. We analyzed 575 violent incident report forms and developed a coding scheme consisting of 16 warning signs.
From the 575 incident report forms, a total of 1087 signs were coded. Most common warning signs were ‘restlessness’ (21.2%), ‘not listening’ (15.2%) and ‘anger’ (9.8%). These were also the most prevalent warning signs for the severe incidents. Although warning signs differ for each individual child, this study indicates that there are common warning signs for imminent aggressive incidents in child psychiatric facilities.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27076
Title : Intervening Early with Family Members during First-Episode Psychosis: : An Evaluation of Mental Health Nursing Psychoeducation within an Inpatient Unit Material Type: printed text Authors: Petrakis, Melissa, Author ; Laxton, Simon, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.48-54 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)

Abstract: Provision of psychoeducation to families of service users experiencing a first-episode psychosis has been found to assist with relapse prevention and promoting recovery for service users. Psychoeducation also assists families to reduce isolation and gain relevant information and support.
This study aimed to clarify the role inpatient staff can best have with families, targeted to the acute phase and early stage of the illness. Family members were provided an inpatient carer psychoeducation meeting and recruited for a feedback interview 6 months later. Findings suggest that family members require information provision and support during the admission, in addition to beneficial psychoeducation groups offered later in the community.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27077 [article] Intervening Early with Family Members during First-Episode Psychosis: : An Evaluation of Mental Health Nursing Psychoeducation within an Inpatient Unit [printed text] / Petrakis, Melissa, Author ; Laxton, Simon, Author . - 2017 . - p.48-54.

Title : Suicide risk in the hospitalizes elderly in Turkey and affecting factors Material Type: printed text Authors: Avci, Dilek, Author ; Selcuk, Kevser Tari ; Dogan, Selma Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.55-61 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.55-61Keywords: Hospitalized.Suicide risk.Elderly in Tukey. Abstract: Objective
This study aimed to investigate the suicide risk among the elderly hospitalized and treated because of physical illnesses, and the factors affecting the risk.
Methods
The study has a cross-sectional design. It was conducted with 459 elderly people hospitalized and treated in a public hospital between May 25, 2015 and December 4, 2015. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Suicide Probability Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. For the analysis, descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analysis were used.
Results
In the study, 24.0% of the elderly were at high risk for suicide. Suicide risk was even higher among the elderly in the 60–74 age group, living alone, drinking alcohol, perceiving his/her religious beliefs as weak, being treated for cancer, having the diagnosis 11 years or over, having a history of admission to a psychiatry clinic, and being at risk for anxiety and depression.
Conclusion
In the study, approximately one out of every four elderly people was at high risk for suicide. Therefore, older people should be assessed for suicide risk and programs targeting to prevent the elderly from committing suicide should be organized.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27078 [article] Suicide risk in the hospitalizes elderly in Turkey and affecting factors [printed text] / Avci, Dilek, Author ; Selcuk, Kevser Tari ; Dogan, Selma . - 2017 . - p.55-61.

Title : Comparison of Suicide Attempts/Behaviors Following Smoking Cessation Treatments Among Schizophrenic Smokers Material Type: printed text Authors: Wu, I-Hsuan, Author ; Chen, Hua, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.62-67 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.62-67Keywords: Suicide attemps.Behaviors smoking.Schizophrenic smokers. Abstract: Background
Smoking cessation may lead to depression in some smokers and result in increased risk of suicide.
Objective
To compare the risk of suicide attempts/behaviors associated with different smoking cessation medications among schizophrenic patients.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using General Electric (GE) medical record database (1995–2011). The first day of being prescribed a smoking cessation medication defined as index date. Patients were followed up to one year from index date. Patients' suicide behaviors or attempts were identified through ICD-9 codes and E-codes. Cox proportional hazards model was applied to examine the association between smoking cessation medication and suicidal/self-injurious behaviors.
Results
Our cohort consisted of 3925 patients with diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who initiated cessation medication. Among them, 104 (2.65%) had suicide attempts or behavior within one-year follow up. However, statistically significant difference in the risk of suicide attempts/behaviors was not detected across cessation regimens in the Cox proportional hazard analysis. Only comorbidity index was found to be associated with suicide, which showed that higher Charlson comorbidity index was associated with higher risks of suicide behaviors within one year (HR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.04–1.27).
Conclusion
There were no significant differences in suicide attempts/behaviors with different cessation medications.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27079 [article] Comparison of Suicide Attempts/Behaviors Following Smoking Cessation Treatments Among Schizophrenic Smokers [printed text] / Wu, I-Hsuan, Author ; Chen, Hua, Author . - 2017 . - p.62-67.

Abstract: Normative data on the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) for a clinical sample of males in the United States are presented. Thirty-eight males completed the EDE-Q at time of admission to an inpatient unit for eating disorders. The majority of males were diagnosed with unspecified eating disorder (73.7%, n = 28). Mean age at time of admission was 24.4 years (SD = 12.6), mean body mass index at time of admission was 21.5 kg/m2 (SD = 9.5), and mean length of stay was 13.6 days (SD = 9.3). Mean scores, standard deviations, and percentile ranks for the global and subscale scores are provided. Although the prevalence of eating disorders remains lower among males compared to females, body dissatisfaction and eating disorder psychopathology are fairly common among males.

Title : Sleep duration of inpatients with a depressive disorder : associations with age subjective sleep quality and cognitive complaints Material Type: printed text Authors: Miller, Matthias J., Author ; Olschinski, Christiane, Author ; Kundermann, Bernd, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.77-82 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.77-82Keywords: Depressive disorder.Sleep qulaity.Sleep inpatients. Abstract: Sleep complaints and sleep disturbances are common in depression; however, the association of sleep duration and subjective sleep quality has been rarely investigated. Thus, subjective sleep quality and sleep duration were analyzed in depressed inpatients. Questionnaire data comprising clinical and sleep-related questions were sampled over a one-year period from adult inpatients with depressive syndromes. Sleep duration and items related to sleep quality were analyzed by means of group comparisons (sleep duration categories) and correlation analyses. Data of 154 patients (age 58.2 ± 17.0 years, 63.6% women) were analyzed. Mean sleep duration was 7.2 ± 2.1 h (16.9% of patients were below and 7.1% above age-specific recommendations), 25–40% of patients reported almost always daytime sleepiness, non-restorative sleep, attention deficits, or memory complaints with significant correlations between all variables (P < 0.05). Sleep duration and sleep quality indicators showed significant curvilinear associations (quadratic contrast, P < 0.05); i.e. extremely low and high sleep durations were associated with unfavorable sleep quality and subjective cognitive impairment. Non-recommended low or high sleep durations occur in a substantial proportion of patients with depression, and both were associated with poor sleep quality and subjectively impaired cognitive functions. Clinicians should be aware of these relationships. During hospitalization, a more individualized sleep–wake schedule should be applied.

Title : Borderline personality disorder psychological treatment : an integrative review Material Type: printed text Authors: Reeves-Dudley, Beverly, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.83-97 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.83-97Keywords: Personality disorder.Psychological treatment. Abstract: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex and at times debilitating mental disorder, treatment of which has eluded effective pharmacotherapy (Gunderson, 2007). Although once considered untreatable, psychodynamic therapy and cognitive therapy (two types of psychological therapies) have provided hope for better lives for patients with this diagnosis (Gunderson). The author performed an integrative review of the literature pertaining to the present role of evidence-based practice (EBP) using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) definition of BPD to identify symptoms of the disorder. Thirty-eight peer reviewed articles, mostly quasi-experimental, three meta-analyses, two books, and two national psychiatric guideline websites were reviewed. BPD treatment may be successful with a variety of psychological therapies. Application of empirical studies is only part of BPD treatment considerations. Heterogeneous symptom presentation requires much professional interpersonal interaction and the literature is scant on inductive research for BPD. This review is limited to psychological aspects of BPD treatment.

Abstract: The aim of the study is to determine the effect of nursing students making short films about mental health disorders in preventing stigmatization of the mentally disordered patient. Students, under the supervision of the faculty member who taught the course, worked in groups; each group wrote the script for and then produced and showed the film. Each student performed in one film. Students wrote scenarios about preventing stigmatization of the mentally disordered patient after receiving theoretical education about this topic. The films were completed in a month. Short films made by students were evaluated based on their titles. The titles reveal that the films were mainly concerned with social problems. It is remarkable that students performed in an empathetic way particularly when discussing psychopathology and that they emphasized the attitudes of the families. Students wrote themselves scenarios, performed role-sharing, and employed visual displays, which showed that they were against stigmatization. This study concluded that short films about mental health disorders made by students have a positive effect on preventing stigmatization of the mentally disordered patient.

in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.99-110Keywords: Measuring medication.Adherence patientsSchizophrenia. Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess the validity, reliability and levels of evidence of existing instruments for measuring medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia.
Background
Schizophrenia is estimated to affect approximately 7 individuals out of 1000 in their lifetimes, with fifty percent of patients attempting suicide. However studies have shown that measuring medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia is difficult and no gold standard currently exists. Without reliable and valid instruments to evaluate non-adherence in this population, research into strategies to improve adherence cannot move forward.
Data Sources
This integrative review used the following search terms: assessing, measuring, medication adherence, schizophrenia, medication non-adherence, validity, reliability and measures. Databases searched included CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO and Scopus). Studies were included if they were published from 2000 to 2016. Fourteen instruments were identified from six studies and were included in this review.
Results
All the instruments assessed were weak in both validity and reliability coupled with having low levels of evidence. Three instruments (two are fairly new) yielded better validity, reliability and sensitivity; however they have not been assessed in broad, diverse samples, so their generalizability remains unclear.
Conclusion
This study suggests the need to develop an instrument with adequate validity, reliability, and sensitivity to various patients' characteristics.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27086 [article] Measuring medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia: an Integrative review [printed text] / Bright, Cordellia E., Author . - 2017 . - p.99-110.

Title : Mental health in immigrants versus native populatuion : A systemic review of the lsterature Material Type: printed text Authors: Bas-Sanmiento, Pilar, Author ; Saucedo-Morena, Maria Jose, Author ; Fernandez-Gutierrez, Martina, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.111-121 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.111-121Keywords: Mental health.Native population. Abstract: Objectives
To determine whether there is a higher incidence of mental illness among immigrants, to describe the nosologic differences between immigrant and native populations, and to identify the risk factors involved of immigration.
Methods
A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, Science Direct, ISI, Scopus, Psycinfo, Cochrane, and Cuiden databases. The search strategy was conducted using the MeSH thesaurus for the controlled terms “mental disorders,” “mental health,” “transients and migrants,” “immigrants,” and “epidemiology.” The quality of the articles was analyzed by using the Equator Guidelines, following checklists according to the methodological design of the studies by two independent reviewers.
Results
From a total of 817 studies found, 21 met the inclusion criteria. Out of the 21 studies selected, 13 showed a higher prevalence of mental illness.
Conclusions
Migration represents a major challenge, but it does not lead exclusively to mental distress. Immigrants experience more problems in depression, anxiety, and somatic disorders, pathologies related directly to the migration process and stress suffered. Resources should be oriented to primary and community care.Link for e-copy: http://www.psychiatricnursing.org/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27087 [article] Mental health in immigrants versus native populatuion : A systemic review of the lsterature [printed text] / Bas-Sanmiento, Pilar, Author ; Saucedo-Morena, Maria Jose, Author ; Fernandez-Gutierrez, Martina, Author . - 2017 . - p.111-121.

Abstract: Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) experience excessive co-morbidities and early mortality. Self-management programs have the potential to increase physical activity levels of individuals with SMI and reduce the incidence of co-morbidities. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to assess a chronic disease self-management program (CDSMP) to increase physical activity of adults with SMI measured by daily steps tracked with a pedometer. Results of data analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in steps across the six-week program. However, findings suggested that individuals with SMI are capable of using a pedometer and tracking steps on a daily basis.
