Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mental health work carried out by accredited social health activists (ASHAs) on reduction of the "treatment gap" for severe mental disorders (SMD), common mental disorders (CMDs), and substance use disorders (SUDs) in rural communities. Methods: This study is an offshoot of a larger randomized controlled trial designed to comprehensively compare the effectiveness of two methods of training and empowering grassroots-level workers in mental health. Three primary health centers (PHCs) were selected (simple random sampling) as the study group (SG). Thirty-five ASHAs were trained and mentored (National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences-Extension of Community Health Outcomes model of skilled capacity building using digital technology) for a period of 18 months in identifying/counseling/referral of commonly prevalent mental health problems in the community. Control group (CG) PHCs' ASHAs (n = 36) received "training as usual" (i.e. 1 day in person classroom training session). Both the groups were regularly contacted by the research team to monitor for progress. Reduction in "treatment gap" was evaluated using pre-post design for SG and CG separately, and the same was compared between SG and CG. Results: A total of 35,023 adults were screened, and positives were identified, counseled, and referred for care and treatment. Treatment gap for SMDs and SUDs reduced significantly both in SG and CG (SMDs: 10% vs. 38%, respectively; P = 0.03 for both; SUDs: 51% vs. 70% respectively; P < 0.001 for both) while it increased for CMDs (13% vs. 14% P < 0.01 and 0.09, respectively). Comparatively speaking, SG fared better for SUDs (P < 0.05), and CG did better for SMDs (P < 0.05). It was unequivocal for CMDs (P = 0.48). Conclusion: ASHAs could be effectively empowered to carry out mental health work resulting in meaningful reduction of treatment gap for the priority mental illnesses including SMD and SUDs.

Objective. Compare the attitudes toward mental illness between medical and nursing undergraduate students from a university in India. Methods. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out among medical (n=154) and nursing undergraduate students (n=168) using Attitude Scale for Mental Illness (ASMI) questionnaire with six sub scales namely; Separatism, Stereotyping, Restrictiveness, Benevolence, Pessimistic prediction and Stigmatization. This was a 5-point Likert scale with 34 items to rate participants responses from totally disagree (1) to totally agree (5). The lower scores indicate positive attitudes toward persons with mental illness. Results. Our findings revealed that 54.5% of medical students versus 64.8% of nursing students have positive attitudes toward mental illness. While medical students have better attitudes against separatism and stigmatization, nursing students have more positive attitudes in benevolence and against pessimism. Conclusion. An important proportion of medical and nursing students have negative attitudes toward mental illness. It is necessary to review and adapt the current curriculum to favor the positive attitude of future professionals toward people with these types of diseases. Resumen Objetivo.

Objective. Compare the attitudes toward mental illness between medical and nursing undergraduate students from a university in India.Methods. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out among medical (n=154) and nursing undergraduate students (n=168) using Attitude Scale for Mental Illness (ASMI) questionnaire with six sub scales namely; Separatism, Stereotyping, Restrictiveness, Benevolence, Pessimistic prediction and Stigmatization. This was a 5-point Likert scale with 34 items to rate participants responses from totally disagree (1) to totally agree (5). The lower scores indicate positive attitudes toward persons with mental illness.Results. Our findings revealed that 54.5% of medical students versus 64.8% of nursing students have positive attitudes toward mental illness. While medical students have better attitudes against separatism and stigmatization, nursing students have more positive attitudes in benevolence and against pessimism.Conclusion. An important proportion of medical and nursing students have negative attitudes toward mental illness.

Elderly people are considered to be a marginalized population, due to their failing health, lack of gainful employment and their dependence on others for financial and other requirements. The difficulties faced by the elderly during disasters like Tsunami and earthquakes have been documented by various researchers. The aim of present study was to understand the psychosocial impact of the Uttarakhand flood disaster on the elderly survivors, during the initial 3 months following the event. The sample consisted of the elderly aged above 60 years (n=62) who were affected by the disaster, from four districts of Uttarakhand. The sample were screened for medical and psychiatric morbidity and also assessed across various domains of psychosocial aspects, such as loss of livelihood, property, as well as psychological symptoms like disturbed sleep, avoidance of reminders of the disaster, feeling of restlessness, and vague bodily complaints, amongst others. The findings revealed a greater propensity of physical illness as well as psychosocial impact through loss of property and livelihood, along with psychological impact like disturbances in sleep, recurrent flashbacks and concern about the future. The findings have been discussed in the light of the current disaster situation in the state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Human rights violations are commonly reported against people with mental illness and have remained a major research issue in recent times. Objective: The present study was aimed to compare psychiatric patients' perceptions of human rights needs between rural and urban settings. Methodology: A descriptive study design was carried out among 100 recovered psychiatric patients based on the Clinical Global Impression- Improvement Scale (CGI-I scale), at a tertiary care center. Participants were selected through a random sampling method. Data was collected through face to face interviews, using a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The present study highlighted the significant differences in meeting their basic human rights needs in a physical needs dimension i.e. availability of hot water for bathing (χ2=8.305, p<0.40) and provision of clean clothes to wear (χ2=8.229, p<0.42) were rated higher in rural participants than participants from those in an urban setting. Similarly, in the ethical needs dimension, merely 13% of the rural participants reported that they never/rarely experienced sexual advances by family members (χ2=9.949, p< .019). Conclusion: Our findings revealed that human rights violations among mentally ill are evident across rural and urban environments. Thus, there is an urgent need to change the attitude of the general population towards people with mental illness through awareness campaign. In addition, educating the public about the human rights of mentally ill is also essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
