Abstract:
Objective: In Australia and comparable countries, case management has become the dominant process by which public mental health services provide outpatient clinical services to people with severe mental illness. There is recognition that caseload size impacts on service provision and that management of caseloads is an important dimension of overall service management. There has been little empirical investigation, however, of caseload and its management. The present study was undertaken in the context of an industrial agreement in Victoria, Australia that required services to introduce standardized approaches to caseload management. The aims of the present study were therefore to (i) investigate caseload size and approaches to caseload management in Victoria's mental health services; and (ii) determine whether caseload size and/or approach to caseload management is associated with work-related stress or case manager self-efficacy among community mental health professionals employed in Victoria's mental health services. Method: A total of 188 case managers responded to an online cross-sectional survey with both purpose-developed items investigating methods of case allocation and caseload monitoring, and standard measures of work-related stress and case manager personal efficacy. Results: The mean caseload size was 20 per full-time case manager. Both work-related stress scores and case manager personal efficacy scores were broadly comparable with those reported in previous studies. Higher caseloads were associated with higher levels of work-related stress and lower levels of case manager personal efficacy. Active monitoring of caseload was associated with lower scores for work-related stress and higher scores for case manager personal efficacy, regardless of size of caseload. Although caseloads were most frequently monitored by the case manager, there was evidence that monitoring by a supervisor was more beneficial than self-monitoring. Conclusion: Routine monitoring of caseload, especially by a workplace supervisor, may be effective in reducing work-related stress and enhancing case manager personal efficacy.

Abstract:
Objective: This paper considers mental health services resource distribution under the Australian second national mental health plan, with its direction to mental health services to be more inclusive of people with higher prevalence psychiatric disorders. We consider inequalities in mental health in Australia, and describe the performance of the composite census variable employed in the Victorian mental health funding distribution formula, the index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRSED), in predicting disorder rates and perceived needs for care. Method: We review data sets generated through the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing (NSMHWB) for their utility in development of resource distribution formulae. We present analyses from the 10 641 cases examined in the household survey to explore the role of the IRSED in predicting prevalence rates of anxiety, affective, substance misuse and other disorders, as well as perceived need for care. Results: Recent epidemiological studies provide some additional sources of data to guide resource distribution, although the available data sets are found not to be optimized for examination of this issue. Greater levels of socioeconomic disadvantage of areas are associated with increased rates of morbidity in metropolitan areas, with different patterns for different disorder groups. The influence of the IRSED is more complex outside the major cities. Conclusions: The descriptive epidemiological data now available, despite significant investment, are relatively crude instruments for this current purpose. The findings support the case for using the IRSED as a proxy indicator for morbidity for the high prevalence disorders, but only within metropolitan areas. This examination confirms the existence of significant inequalities in mental health between Australian urban areas with different socioeconomic characteristics.

Abstract:
This essay identifies and examines a narrative structure—here called the sterility plot—that is shown to recur in British mid-19th century psychiatric texts and imaginative literature engaging mental science. Treating physicians Bucknill and Tuke’s A Manual of Psychological Medicine and novelist Bulwer Lytton’s A Strange Story as influential case studies, it explores in particular the Gothic-styled spectralisation used by both Victorian medical and literary authors to characterize females whose mental disorders are depicted as bound with a short- or long-term inability to reproduce. The narratives thereby gender, pathologize, and suspensefully dramatize the plot trajectory of mentally ill patients’ clinical and fictional case histories, which, taken together, is argued to reveal mid-century medico-cultural anxieties about the health of Britain’s imperial future being threatened by potentially sterile Englishwomen.

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines the early history of the Institute of Journalists as a case study of occupational development in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. It argues that disagreements over the putative meaning of ‘professional’ led to widespread belief that journalists’ interests were best served by organizing as a trade union rather than as a ‘professional organization’. Drawing on trade periodicals, memoirs and journalism handbooks, this article illustrates the complexities of the ‘professional ideal’ and underscores the ambiguous position of the ‘mental labourer’ in British society.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the course of the nineteenth century children increasingly became social, economic and scientific concerns. Their physical and mental well-being was deemed intrinsic to the future development of Britain and its Empire, and thus maintaining healthy youngsters was, by the turn of the twentieth century, considered a national priority. This article explores the interconnectivity between poverty and the child residents of pauper lunatic asylums in England. It draws on a corpus of extant patient case files from four pauper lunatic asylums between 1851 and 1907 and engages with detailed information about the children and their mental conditions. Additionally, there will be a focus on understanding family backgrounds, parental occupations, the correlation between diagnoses and class, and methods of ‘treatment’ designed to equip children for independent working lifestyles. The overarching objective is to consider the socio-economic ramifications of child mental illness for parents and families and better understand how Victorian institutions accommodated this specific class of patient.

Abstract:
Purpose – People with a history of depression are more likely to smoke and less likely to achieve abstinence from smoking long term. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors associated with smoking and smoking cessation among patients with depression. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reports on smoking prevalence and cessation in a cohort of 789 primary care attendees with depressive symptoms (Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score of=16) recruited from 30 randomly selected Primary Care Practices in Victoria, Australia in 2005. Findings – At baseline, 32 per cent of participants smoked. Smokers were more likely to be male, unmarried, receive government benefits, have difficulty managing on available income, have emphysema, a chronic illness, poor self-rated health, to have more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms, to be taking anti-depressants, to be hazardous drinkers, to report suicidal ideation and to have experienced childhood physical or sexual abuse. At 12 months, 20 participants reported quitting. Females and people with good or better self-rated health were significantly more likely to have quit, while people with a chronic illness or suicidal ideation were less likely to quit. Smoking cessation was not associated with increases in depression or anxiety symptoms. Only six participants remained quit over four years. Practical implications – Rates of smoking were high, and long-term cessation was low among primary care patients with depressive symptoms. Primary care physicians should provide additional monitoring and support to assist smokers with depression quit and remain quit. Originality/value – This is the first naturalistic study of smoking patterns among primary care attendees with depressive symptoms.

Abstract:
IntroductionCognitive, behavioural, academic, mental health and social impairments are common following paediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, studies are often reliant on small samples of children drawn from narrow age bands, and employ highly variable methodologies, which make it challenging to generalise existing research findings and understand the lifetime history of TBI.Method and analysisThis study will synthesise common data sets from national (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland) and international (New Zealand) collaborators, such that common data elements from multiple cohorts recruited from these four sites will be extracted and harmonised. Participant-level harmonised data will then be pooled to create a single integrated data set of participants including common cognitive, social, academic and mental health outcome variables. The large sample size (n=1816), consisting of participants with mild, moderate and severe TBI, will provide statistical power to answer important questions that cannot be addressed by small, individual cohorts. Complex statistical modelling, such as generalised estimation equation, multilevel and latent growth models, will be conducted.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was granted by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), Melbourne (HREC Reference Number 2019.168). The approved study protocol will be used for all study-related procedures. Findings will be translated into clinical practice, inform policy decisions, guide the appropriate allocation of limited healthcare resources and support the implementation of individualised care.

Abstract:
In 2008, as coordinator and lecturer of a postgraduate allied mental health programme, I asked clinical supervisors and their supervisees who were completing the programme what their ‘most difficult’ practice scenario taken to supervision had been as part of a research project approved for ethics by Victoria University. Secondly, I asked clinical supervisees and clinical supervisors about how they had re- solved or dealt with this practice issue. The aim of the research was to determine if the self reflective and reflexive process described by Napier and Fook (2001) and Gardner (2009) was experienced by the social workers and occupational therapists completing their post- graduate studies. The results indicate that for students, through discussing complex and difficult cases in clinical supervision, they came to view their practice both more positively and more self reflectively and reflexively through engagement in clinical supervision. For supervisors, the most difficult scenarios for those who were the students’ line managers involved navigating a mixed role that balanced providing performance feedback in addition to clinical supervision. The implications for clinical supervision as the method of learning in fieldwork education are discussed.

Abstract:
Objective: This study examines the reliability of antemortem diagnoses of schizophrenia using DSM-IV criteria. Method: The case histories of 83 subjects with a provisional diagnosis of schizophrenia at autopsy were retrospectively reviewed using a semi-structured chart review and application of DSM-IV criteria. Agreement between antemortem and postmortem diagnoses of schizophrenia was examined, as well as the concordance between DSM-IV diagnoses and previously obtained diagnoses using DSM-Ill-R and ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia. Results: According to DSM-IV, 30.1% of cases did not have schizophrenia, compared to 36.1% using DSM-Ill-R criteria and 51.8% of cases using ICD-10 criteria. Concordance between DSM-IV and DSM-Ill-R diagnoses of schizophrenia was excellent (k = 0.81), but only fair between DSM-IV and ICD-10 (k = 0.57). Of the cases that did not meet the formal criteria for schizophrenia, the majority were reassigned diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and affective disorder. Conclusions: The use of human brain tissue in postmortem studies of schizophrenia must be linked to standardised diagnostic assessment procedures. Diagnoses can be upgraded with the development of new criteria, providing sufficient clinical data is available in case histories.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of mental illness in the adult Malawian context. Using the interpretive paradigm, content analysis was used to uncover the lived experiences of mental illness. This study was based on the philosophy that meaning of a phenomenon is best understood if studied within its specific context and within Parse's theoretical framework. Two to four per cent of the global population share the experience of mental illness, however, little is known of individual experiences within the Malawian context. Much of the literature has focused on the physiological aspects, causes, and therapies involved in managing mental illness. Given the less than optimal availability of literature on the topic, this descriptive study was conducted in Zomba, Malawi. A convenience sample of 10 adult outpatients (six women and four men) with schizophrenia or bipolar affective disorders were interviewed to elicit descriptions of experiences of their conditions. The participants' mental conditions were considered stable at the time they were attending the community mental health services. As a result of their experiences, the researcher categorised the participants' descriptions as follows; view of the self, view of their illness, other peoples' views, stigmatisation and discrimination, loss, suffering and distress, fear, gender issues, and coping strategies. The findings showed that this study made a contribution to nursing knowledge that is relevant to the understanding of mental illness. It is possible that this knowledge may also form the basis for recommendations in nursing care and counselling services for the mentally ill persons in Malawi.

Abstract:
Recognising that invasion is a structure not an event (Wolfe, 2006) and that settler colonialism shapes the present in significant ways, this thesis investigates the invisible presence of Aboriginal Victorians through a study of the Victorian gold rush and Australian Rules football. As key markers of Australian national identity, the case studies demonstrate the importance of white belonging to identity construction and argue that Aboriginal Victorians are necessarily invisibly present within the settler colonial present (Veracini, 2015).

Abstract:
Three issues were examined in this study: (1) the extent to which psychological challenge or stress elicits changes in the breathing patterns of normal subjects; (2) whether breathing pattern changes covary with cardiovascular arousal; and (3) whether individuals identified as being potentially at-risk for developing hypertension respond to mental challenge tasks with breathing pattern and cardiovascular changes that are reliably different from those of lower risk individuals. Subjects were 100 healthy young men divided into reactor quintiles on the basis of their heart rate (HR) changes to a 1-minute cold pressor test. Those in the upper quintile were designated as being at-risk for developing hypertension. Their cardiovascular and respiratory changes to two counterbalanced versions of a 5-minute mental arithmetic test (Easy & Hard) were compared with those of the third and fifth quintile subjects. Marked individual differences were evident in the direction and extent of breathing changes. Overall, the rate, amplitude, variability, and predominant mode of breathing increased substantially over resting levels in response to the math tasks. Only breathing rate and variability reliably covaried with task difficulty. Little correspondence was found between breathing changes and cardiovascular arousal. The data did indicate a trend for breathing to shift towards greater ribcage dominance as task difficulty increased. This was especially true for the at-risk group and least true for the low reactor quintile. The expected group differences in cardiovascular reactivity were not found however, implying that the HR reactivity to cold stimulation is not a good predictor of reactivity to acute mental challenge or stress. Overall, the results suggest that breathing patterns change in response to psychological stress but are not clearly associated with cardiovascular arousal. The attempt to identify subgroups of aberrant breathers on the basis of HR reactivity also yielded equivocal results.

Abstract:
Coyne's interactional formulation of depression (Coyne, 1976) states that the demands for support of the depressed individual are initially met with understanding but that over time, depressed persons engender increasingly negative reactions from others. The rejection of the depressed person is said to be mediated by a depressed mood induction in the other person. Coyne's model is primarily concerned with interactions involving family and friends of the depressed person, but in the past it has consistently been tested in laboratory situations examining interactions between strangers. The present study attempted to examine subjects' reactions to interaction with a depressed person, within the context of simulated relationships between friends or between strangers. It distinguished between compliance and initiation as expressions of rejection, and investigated the controversial issue of whether or not rejection is mediated by a depressed mood induction. An exploratory aspect of the study involved an inquiry into the potential role of interpersonal needs in the response to depressed individuals. The study was twofold: in the first part, the stimulus consisted of a videotaped interaction between two trained actresses portraying a depressed woman and a non-depressed woman in the experimental condition, and two non-depressed women in the control condition. In the second part, the same interactions were described in written scenarios. Subjects were instructed to imagine themselves as the non-depressed person interacting with the target person, as either strangers or best friends. Thus, the study consisted of two parallel 2X2 designs. Subjects completed the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist, the Wessman-Ricks Depression-Elation Scale, and the Mehrabian-Russell Semantic Differential at pretest and posttest to measure mood induction. Need for nurturance and need for autonomy were measured at pretest with the Interpersonal Adjective Scale, the Jackson Personality Research Form and the Campbell Need Scale. Posttest acceptance-rejection measures included a modified version of the Opinion Scale and the Impact Message Inventory. Results indicated that interactions with depressed individuals elicit a diffuse negative mood, more so in the context of relationships between friends, in the case of the written scenarios method. Depressed targets were also more rejected than non-depressed targets, but contrary to predictions intimacy decreased the degree of rejection. Rejection was not differentiated into the two concepts of compliance and initiation; however, results pointed to two distinct aspects of rejection - a behavioral aspect and a perceptual one. Mood induction appeared to be related only to the perceptual aspect of rejection, and not to the more salient behavioral one. The contribution of interpersonal needs to rejection appears equivocal; if indeed needs play a role in the mediation of rejection, need for nurturance seems to be more involved than need for autonomy. Although no Method effects were predicted, levels of intimacy were apparently not successfully reproduced in the videotaped stimuli. The two methods at times yielded different results, and further research will clarify their respective external validity. In light of the results of the present study, Coyne's model was in part supported but appears to be in need of serious revisions concerning the mediation of rejection and the effect of intimacy on rejection.

Abstract This section illustrates Value Chain Thinking (VCT) in practice, using a combination of our development project experiences and Australia Awards Africa case studies that we have mentored. It provides case studies on which VCT has been put into practice: These examples cover: aquaculture on Lake Victoria, Kenya; Pakistani mangoes; Ghanaian pineapples; livestock value chains covering Madagascan goats, Ugandan rabbits, Ghanaian guinea fowl, Nigerian catfish and Kenyan indigenous chicken; and vegetable value chains in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. Then the researchers offer two novel applications of VCT: (1) to improve children's nutrition in Madagascar, Cameroon and Zambia, as well as value chain members' livelihoods; and (2) to design and operate the Ghana Green Label scheme for food certification covering both safety and environmental assurances.

Abstract:
Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is often preceded or accompanied by neuropsychiatric symptoms, including depression. This fact has been evaluated in most of the clinical studies to date as associated with HIV infection already diagnosed. Case report: We report a case of a 46-year-old woman patient with no prior diagnosed pathology, suffering from depressive disorder for roughly 6 months, with a progressive evolution under treatment. Blood tests showed a moderate normochromic normocytic anemic syndrome of unspecified origin. Given the fact that depressive syndrome has not improved under treatment, a cerebral computed tomography (CT) scan and a cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are decided, revealing an expansive cerebral process which in turn recommends performing stereotactic biopsy, but the family of the patient refuses the procedure. The patient is neurologically evaluated and after considering the cerebral MRI pattern and the presence of anemia, an HIV and syphilis detection test is decided, revealing a positive result for HIV infection. An antiretroviral therapy has been initiated, resulting in favorable clinical and imaging outcomes. Conclusions: Each patient and each case are individual and is to be approached as such. Depression in a progressive evolution under treatment requires imaging evaluation (cerebral CT scan, ideally cerebral MRI).

Abstract:
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently found cancer among women worldwide. Numerous studies have underlined that persistent infection with human papilloma virus is the most important risk factor, two strains of the same virus – 16 and 18 being responsible for approximately 70% of the cases. Cervical cancer rarely metastasizes in the cervical lymph nodes and this indicates a poor prognosis. Literature data reports an incidence for left supraclavicular M1LYm of 0.1-1.5%. Material and Method: We bring attention to the case of a 44-year-old patient from the rural area who was diagnosed in January 2019 with stage IIIB cervical cancer, represented morphologically by a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. When admitted, the patient presented clinically with vaginal hemorrhage, intense abdominal and pelvic pain, fatigue, a dynamic, significant weight loss. The physiological personal history revealed nine pregnancies, the first one when she was 16. After pretherapeutic evaluation, the multidisciplinary committee decides performing simultaneous radio-chemotherapy with platinum salts. During the second week of treatment clinical examination revealed left cervical and supraclavicular adenopathy, both documented through imaging evaluation. Lymph node biopsy is done and its histopathological aspect, correlated with the immunohistochemistry profile supports the diagnosis of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma lymph node metastasis. The initial treatment scheme is maintained, the patient being discharged with clinical remission of cervical and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. Conclusions: The peculiarity of the case is determined by the distant metastases in the left cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes, a rare finding during treatment, which was associated with a poor prognosis; in this case treatment was done for palliative purposes. Rapid diagnosis is the main factor that conditions the therapeutic results and chances for healing.

Abstract:
Specific learning disability is a psychological and mental disorder that prevents students from learning like normal students, especially in the primary school period. While other people often see this condition of students as a mental problem, it is treatable. They generally do not have any problems with their intelligence, and it is possible to educate them so as to be normal individuals because they are normal indeed. The application of the curriculum suitable for these students is very important to overcome the problem. Although they may exhibit some behaviours that are not compatible with their age because of slow improvement of emotional quotient, they may change into normal individuals in time. It is very common for the teachers to behave these students as if they are mentally retarded. In fact, the case is quite different. In this study, we applied a questionnaire to detect how aware the teachers are of their situation and how they approach these students. The aim of the study is to show that many teachers have the false idea that these students as if they were mentally retarded and there is nothing to do for them. A Likert-scale questionnaire was applied, and the teachers’ opinions were taken through it. The questions are about how aware the teachers are of these students and if they think these students are mentally retarded. In total, 789 teachers participated in the questionnaire, and 69% of them think that these students have mental problems.

Abstract:
Professionals in all fields are to work even when societies go through crises (i.e., the current pandemic), natural disasters, or catastrophes. Studies conducted by specialists in different areas, indicate that numerous people are not willing to work under stressful conditions. In this paper, we want to find out what can motivate a person to work in abnormal conditions of stress, risk of illness, which motivational tools may be applicable with a di­rect view on students who remained online for more than 21 months. Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges of this century: the COVID 19. People are going through a period of fearful insecurity and stress caus­ing many problems and even mental health issues, some of them probably hard to remediate. Education is among the most affected fields of activity. The purpose of the paper is to discover workplace motivation of teachers and students to respond and react to such unfortunate circumstances and to con­tinue their activity, thus avoiding long term blockages and drawbacks.

Abstract:
It is no secret that healthcare, in general, has become an increasingly complicated mixture of technical systems, complex processes and intricate skilled human interactions. Patient care processes have followed this same trend. The healthcare industry, itself, has acknowledged that it is fraught with high-risk and error prone processes and cite medication management systems, invasive procedures and diagnostic methods. Complexity represents opportunity for unanticipated events, process failures and undesirable outcomes. Traditionally when a patient care process fails, accountability was focused on the individual clinician error. However, increasing, healthcare is following the lead of other high-risk industries (e.g. chemical, aerospace, nuclear, etc.) that give attention to the characteristics the overall system that contribute to the failure. The focus has shifted to identification of systemic weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Increasing the healthcare industry is using prospective system assessment methods to evaluate the high-risk systems and processes. This paper describes results of collaboration between engineers and community hospitals in Southwest Washington State between 2002 and 2007 in applying prospective system assessment methods to a range of the high-risk healthcare systems and processes. The methods used are Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis and Probabilistic Risk Assessment. The two case studies presented are: 1) an interhospital FMEA on patient transfer and 2) a risk assessment of mental health patients who present themselves in a hospital Emergency Department.

Full text
Abstract:
Current social requirements concerning the living environment tend to be more and more related to the natural values of the urban space. People are aware of the fact that contact with nature is extremely important for of mental and physical health. Therefore, the quality of the natural environment around the place of living influences the quality of life. The studies confirm that the presence of natural elements in the urban space may expressly affect the improvement of this quality. An example of a city with high quality of life is represented by Olsztyn, the capital of the Warmian- Masurian Province, located within the borders of the functional area of the Green Lungs of Poland, which is characterized by the particularly valuable quality of its natural environment. This is confirmed by the results of the social Diagnosis dated 2015, which put Olsztyn in 4th place among the largest Polish cities in the ranking concerning the quality of life. It is also influenced by the quality of the natural environment, which in the case of Olsztyn is manifested in a large number of green areas and standing bodies of water located within the administrative borders of the city. The aim of this paper is to compare the quality of the living environment of individual boroughs of Olsztyn conditioned by the natural elements (greenery, bodies of water, air, noise) in relation to the received public opinion polling results.

Abstract:
A brief description of the New Tagus River Leziria Bridge composed by 1695 m North Viaduct, by 970 m Main Bridge and by South Viaduct with a length of 9200 m is presented. The observed thickness of the foundation alluvia material varies between 35 m and 55 m with a maximum value of 62 m. Hundred eighteen boreholes were performed with a depth between 21 m and 71 m and eight boreholes were performed from a maritime platform. Standard penetration tests (SPT) were carried out in all boreholes 1.5 m apart. In addition CPTu tests, seismic cone tests, crosshole and downhole tests were performed. In three boreholes continuous undisturbed sampling with a triple sampler Geogor S was performed. Related with static laboratory tests namely identification tests, triaxial tests, direct shear tests and oedometer tests were performed. In addition for the dynamic characterization reasonant columns tests and torsional cyclic tests were performed. One of the most important considerations for the designers is the risk of earthquakes since Lisbon was wiped out by an 8.5 Ritcher magnitude earthquake in 1755. The seismic studies related to the design spectra were performed. The liquefaction potential evaluation was performed only by field tests taking into account the disturbance that occurs during sampling of sandy materials. In this analysis attention was drawn for SPT and CPT tests as seismic tests have only been used when soil contains gravel particles. The shear stress values were computed from a total stresses model, that gave results on the conservative side using the code “SHAKE 2000”. For the North and South Viaducts 1.5 m diameter piles were used and for the Main Bridge 2.2 m diameter piles were used. For the construction of the piles metallic casings were driven by a vibrofonceur or a hydraulic hammer and the piles length varies between 20 m to 56 m. Static pile load tests (both vertical and horizontal tests) were carried out on trial piles. In addition pile dynamic tests were performed. The construction aspects related with piles and bridge construction are addressed. To assess the integrity of the piles reception tests by sonic diagraphies (crosshole tests) were performed. Some problems that have occurred during piles construction in the Main Bridge, due to the gravel and cobbles dimensions, are described. The bridge was monitored with the purposes of: (i) Validation of design criteria and calibration of mental model; (ii) Analysis of bridge behavior during his life; and (iii) Corrective measures for the rehabilitation of the structure.

Abstract:
This paper presents a method for introducing the user aspects in the synthesis stage of the product development process. The theories, which the method is established on, are the theory of technical systems [1, 2] and the function-means tree [3]. The research method is empirical and based upon case studies. By introducing the user aspects and the mental activities to the technical process a user-technical process is established. This is a more comprehensive representation of a product in use, because its interaction with the user is considered. In the same way the user actions and the mental activities are included to the hierarchical decomposition of the functions for a product. This decomposition constitutes a function-action tree and is a support in the creation of new product concepts. The function-action tree could also be used to analyze relations between functions and actions, and to investigate if the relations lead to new conditions for the product.

Abstract:
Abstract: Multiple studies have found that psychiatric disorders, like mood disorders and substance use disorders, are highly comorbid among adults with either disorder. Integrated treatment refers to the treatment of two or more conditions and the use of multiple therapies such as the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Integrated therapy for comorbidity per numerous studies has consistently been superior to the treatment of individual disorders separately. The purpose of this QI project was to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) instead of current treatment as usual for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health diagnosis independently. It is a retrospective chart review. The review examines CBT's efficacy for engaging individuals with co-occurring mood and substance u se disorders in treatment by enhancing adherence and preventing disengagement and relapse. Methods: Forty adults aged 26-55 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of a mood disorder of Major Depressive Disorder and/or anxiety and concurrent substance use disorder (at least weekly use in the past month). Participants received 12 sessions of individual integrated CBT treatment delivered with case management over a 12-week period. Results: The intervention was associated with significant improvements in mood disorder, substance use, and coping skills at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions: These results provide some evidence for the effectiveness of the integrated CBT intervention in individuals with co-occurring disorders. Of note, all psychotherapies are efficacious; however, it would be more advantageous to develop a standardized CBT that identifies variables that facilitate treatment outcomes specifically to comorbid disorders of substance use and mood disorders. It is concluded that there is potentially more to be gained from further studies using randomized controlled designs to determine its efficacy.
