1. Padua University Psychiatric Student Counseling Service

Author

Marini, Massimo, Piovan, Cristiano, Gambaro, Francesca, Grana, Simona, Frasson, Alberto, Fusco, Elisabetta, Romano, Enza, Semenzin, Massimo, and Pavan, Luigi

Abstract

Although the literature reports a high prevalence of psychological distress among the university student population, still very few intervention schemes have been proposed to manage the problem. The authors describe the main sources of inspiration for the psychiatric counseling service established at Padua University (Italy) and how it operates. Emphasis is laid on counseling quality, operator professionalism, research activities, ethical aspects and resource allocation. The implications for adequate counseling are discussed. Preliminary data suggest that university-based psychiatric counseling centres provide a useful service. (Contains 1 table, 2 graphs and 1 diagram.)

Abstract

Background: Concerns about protecting patient's privacy can interfere with proper stress adaptation which isassociated with physician's health. It is important to investigate relevant organizational confounders to this phenomenon to enable interventions that can ameliorate the subjective burden of patient confidentiality. Objectives: This study investigatesfactors in the psychosocial work environment that can explain patient confidentiality's prominence in social support seeking among physicians, and if these factors covary differently with support seeking according to country. Participants: University hospital physicians in four European cities (N=2095) in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Italy participated in a cross-sectional survey. Methods: Questionnaire comprised items on psychosocial work environment, basic socio-demographics, presence of formal and informal meetings at work, and measurement of confidentiality as a barrier for support. Resultats: High role conflict, availability of formal or informal meetings, lack of control over decisions, and lack of control over work pace were predictors of confidentiality as a barrier to support. There were differences between countries in how these factors covaried with confidentiality as a barrier to support. High role conflict was the strongest predictor of confidentiality as a barrier to support across all samples. Conclusions: Psychosocial work factors predicted confidentiality as a barrier to support seeking among physicians. It is important to create routines and an organizational framework that ensures both the patient's right to privacy and physician's ability to cope with emotional demanding situations from work., Vinnova, Stockholm City Council.

25. Psychogeriatric consultation within a geriatric hospital: A six–year experience.

Author

De Leo, Diego, Baiocchi, Antonella, Cipollone, Bruno, Pavan, Luigi, and Beltrame, Paolo

Subjects
MENTAL health consultation, PSYCHIATRIC treatment, GERIATRIC psychiatry, COMMUNITY mental health service administration
Abstract

This article describes a six-year experience of psychiatric consultation in Padua Geriatric Hospital (Italy). Motivation for the request for psychiatric treatment, diagnosis, recommended treatment and compliance with it by the geriatric medical staff are reported. The authors stress the radical change in the activities of the consultants since the establishment in 1986 of a new psychogeriatric unit, probably still the only such unit in formal existence in Italy. The service offered by the team thus underwent considerable innovation, leading to substantial modifications in treatment and, especially, to a reduction in the duration of hospital stay of patients admitted to the psychogeriatric unit.

Abstract

SUMMARYAims- This study aims to present data on structural and human resources of public mental health services located in the Veneto Region, Italy, and to discuss them in the light of implementation of the first National Target Plan for Mental Health (“Progetto Obiettivo 1994-1996”) ten years after its launch. Methods- The study was conducted in the context of the PICOS (Psychosis Incident Cohort Outcome Study) Project, a large first-presentation multisite study on patients with psychotic disorders attending community mental heath services in the Veneto Region. Human and structural resources were surveyed in 26 study sites using a structured interview administered by the PICOS local referents. Results- CMHCs and Day Centres were homogeneously distributed across the Region and their overall rates per resident population met the national standards; a wide variability in the distribution of Day Hospitals was found, with the overall rate per resident population very far from meeting the national standard; the overall rate for Residential Facilities beds was higher than the recommended national standard, showing however an high variability across sites. The overall rate of mental health professionals per resident population was only slightly below the national standard: this was mainly achieved thanks to non-profit organizations which supplement the public system with unspecialised professionals; however, a wide variability in the local rates per resident population was found, with the 50% of the sites showing rates far lower the national standard. Specific lack of trained professionals involved in the provision of psychosocial interventions was found in most sites. Conclusions- A marked variability in human and structural resources across community mental health services in the Veneto Region was found. Possible reasons for this heterogeneity were analysed and implications for mental health care provision were further discussed.Declaration of Interest: The study has been supported by the Regione del Veneto, Giunta Regionale, Ricerca Sanitaria Finalizzata 2004, Venezia, Italia (grant to Professor M. Ruggeri).
