Abstract:

Recently arrived older refugees in resettlement countries are a particularly vulnerable population who face many risks to their health and well‐being, and many challenges in accessing services. This paper reports on a project undertaken in Victoria, Australia to explore the needs of older people from 14 recently arrived refugee communities, and the barriers to their receiving health and aged care. Findings from consultations with community workers and service providers highlight the key issues of isolation, family conflict and mental illness affecting older refugees, and point to ways in which policy‐makers and service providers can better respond to these small but deserving communities.

Abstract:

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the 1998 rates, types, regional variation and Medicare expenditure of private psychiatry services for older people in Australia, as compared with younger adults and with 1985–1986 data. Method: Medicare Benefits Schedule Item Statistics for the psychiatric item numbers 300–352 and item 14224 were obtained from the Health Insurance Commission for each State and Territory. The items were examined in the age groups 15–64 years, 65 years and over and 75 years and over. Main outcome measures were per capita service provision by age group, State and Territory and Medicare expenditure by age group. Results: During 1998, 6.4% (5765.6 per 100 000) of private psychiatric services were to patients aged > 64 years. Patients aged 15–64 received 2.7 times the number of psychiatric services per capita than patients > 64 and 3.6 times that of patients aged > 74 years. Patients aged > 64 received more hospital and nursing home consultations, home visits and electroconvulsive therapy per capita, while younger adults used more office-based consultations, longer consultations, and group therapy. Victoria had the highest per capita rate (7659.2 per 100 000) and the Northern Territory the lowest (540.4 per 100 000), although the highest proportion of services to older patients was in Western Australia. Per capita the proportion of Medicare expenditure allocated to adults aged less than 65 years was 4.1 times that for adults over 64 years. Conclusions: Private psychiatric service provision to older people is inequitable when compared with younger adults. The proportion of Medicare private psychiatry expenditure on older adults has declined since 1985–1986.

Abstract:

This article seeks to build on the earlier article in this newsletter by Victoria Tew regarding formulation in teams, and the consistent references made to consultation level input being provided across the Trent region. This article will discuss the informal qualitative feedback received from a small group of health care professionals (HCPs) from a Mental Heath Service for Older People (MHSOP) with regards to the use of formulation sessions provided on a consultation basis and reflective practice groups in a newly-developed clinical psychology service in a rural area. I hope it will assist in demonstrating the power of asking for feedback and highlighting to higher management, and consequently commissioners, the content of that feedback as a contribution of evidence for the input that can be provided by clinical psychology to be seen as integral in revisions of service delivery within our area.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: Health services are encouraged to adopt a strong person-centered approach to the provision of care and services for older people. The aim of this project was to establish a user-friendly, psychometrically valid, and reliable measure of healthcare staff's practice, attitudes, and beliefs regarding person-centered healthcare.Methods: Item reduction (factor analysis) of a previously developed “benchmarking person-centred care” survey, followed by psychometric evaluations of the internal consistency reliability and construct validity, was conducted. The initial survey was completed by 1,428 healthcare staff from 17 health services across Victoria, Australia.Results: After removing 17 items from the previously developed “benchmarking person-centred care” survey, the revised 31-item survey (Person-Centred Health Care for Older Adults Survey) attained eight factors that explain 62.7% of the total variance with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.91, indicating excellent internal consistency. Expert consultation confirmed that the revised survey had content validity.Conclusions: The results indicated that the Person-Centred Health Care for Older Adults Survey is a user-friendly, psychometrically valid, and reliable measure of staff perceptions of person-centered healthcare for use in hospital settings.

Abstract:

Objective: This study examines the extent and nature of stalking victimisation in a random community sample. Method: A postal survey was distributed to 3700 adult men and women selected from the electoral roll in the State of Victoria. Outcome measures included the lifetime and annual cumulative incidence of stalking, the duration and methods of harassment, rates of associated violence and responses to victimisation. Results: Almost one in four respondents (23.4%;432) had been stalked, the unwanted behaviour they were subjected to being both repeated and fear-provoking. One in 10 (197) had experienced a protracted course of stalking involving multiple intrusions spanning a period of at least one month. Women were twice as likely as men to report having been stalked at some time in their lives, though the rates of victimisation in the 12 months prior to the study did not differ significantly according to gender. Younger people were significantly more likely than older respondents to report having been stalked. Victims were pursued by strangers in 42% of cases. The most common methods of harassment involved unwanted telephone calls, intrusive approaches and following. Associated threats (29%) and physical assaults (18%) frequently arose out of the stalking. Significant social and economic disruption was created by the stalking for 63% of victims. Most sought assistance to manage their predicament (69%). Conclusions: The experience of being stalked is common and appears to be increasing. Ten percent of people have been subjected at some time to an episode of protracted harassment. Assaults by stalkers are disturblingly frequent. Most victims report significant disruption to their daily functioning irrespective of exposure to associated violence.

Abstract:

Background:Evidence on the negative effects of being overweight/obese on the health outcomes of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is increasing.Objectives:This study aimed to identify associations between Body Mass Index (BMI) categories and disease activity, functioning, quality of life, and mental health in a large sample of axSpA patients.Methods:In 2016, a sample of 680 unselected patients with axSpA participated in the Atlas of Axial Spondyloarthritis in Spain through an online survey. The sample was divided in two groups: 1) Patients with a BMI of 18.5 to <25 Kg/m2 (normal weight), and 2) Patients with a BMI of ≥ 25 Kg/m2 (overweight/obesity), excluding the underweight category (BMI <18.5 Kg/m2). The Mann-Whitney and Pearson’s chi-square tests were used to analyse possible relationships between independent sociodemographic characteristics, employment, lifestyle, patient-reported outcomes, and comorbidity variables with those who are overweight/obese. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to determine the association of the possible factors with those who are overweight/obese.Results:Of the 663 patients analysed, the mean age was 45.9 years, 51.4% were female, 37.0% had a university degree, and 72.5% were married. The prevalence of overweight/obese patients was 53.4% compared to 46.6% who were of a normal weight. The patients with the highest prevalence of being overweight/obese were older (49.3 vs 42.0, p<0.001), with no university education (59.8% vs 42.4% of university, p<0.001), often widowers (75.0% vs 30.8% of single people, p<0.001), and reported membership of patient organisations (61.7% vs 46.6%, p<0.001). With respect to patients of normal weight, those who were overweight/obese presented greater spinal stiffness (8.2 vs 6.6, p<0.001) and a longer diagnostic delay (9.2 vs 7.8, p=0.005). In addition, patients who were overweight/obese were more likely physically inactive (63.7% vs 36.3%, p=0.007). In the multivariable binary logistic regression analysis, the qualitative factors associated with the presence of being overweight/obese were physical inactivity (OR= 2.40) and males (OR= 1.81), while the quantitative factor most associated with the presence of being overweight/obese were greater spinal stiffness (B= 0.121) and older in age (B= 0.052) (Table 1).Table 1.Logistic regression to analyses factor associated with being overweight/obese (N= 469)Univariate logistic analysisMultivariate logistic analysisORp-value1ORp-value1Qualitative factorsGender.

The lack of physical activity, male gender, higher spinal stiffness, and older age increase the probability of prevalence of being overweight/obese. Physicians should encourage physical activity in patients with axSpA, especially among men and older people to prevent the factors of being overweight/obese.Acknowledgements:This study was supported by Novartis Spain.

Abstract:

Background:Delayed diagnosis in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in Spain seems to be influenced by the patient diagnostic pathway. In particular, not all patients are diagnosed by rheumatologists, the profession better suited to make an axSpA diagnosis.Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences between patients diagnosed by a rheumatologist and those diagnosed by other healthcare professionals (HCPs).Methods:In 2016, a sample of 680 unselected patients with axSpA participated in the Atlas of Axial Spondyloarthritis in Spain, an online survey. The sample was divided into: 1) Patients diagnosed by rheumatologists and 2) Non-Rheumatologist diagnosis including general practitioner, orthopaedic specialist, and physiotherapist. The Mann-Whitney and Pearson’s chi-square tests were used to assess possible differences between both groups in sociodemographic characteristics, employment, lifestyle, patient-reported outcomes, and comorbidities. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyse the possible factors associated with diagnosis by a non-Rheumatologist.Results:A total of 522 axSpA patients participated in this study: the mean age was 45.3 years, 51.0% were female, 38.5% had a university degree, and 71.6% and were married. Prior to diagnosis, axSpA patients visited different HCPs such as a General Practitioner (GP) (88.5%), orthopaedic specialists (71.6%), rheumatologists (71.0%), and physiotherapists (46.9%). The greatest number of visits (mean, median) were made to physiotherapists (3.4, 3), followed by orthopaedic specialists (3.0, 2), rheumatologists (2.0, 1) and GPs (2.6, 2). The majority (81.4%) of patients were diagnosed by a rheumatologist, while 18.6% received their diagnosis from a non-rheumatologist (10.9% orthopaedic specialist, 7.3% general practitioner, and 0.4% physiotherapist). With respect to other specialists such as the GP, orthopaedic specialist or physiotherapist, patients diagnosed by the rheumatologist were younger (44.3 vs 49.5, p<0.001), more frequently female (54.8% vs 45.2% of male, p<0.001), with worse mental health (5.9 vs 4.8, p=0.039), who visited more professionals before being diagnosed (3.0 vs 2.5, p=0.001), were more frequently smokers (40.2% vs 26.0%, p=0.010) and used more biologicals (45.9% vs 33.0%, p=0.021). In the multivariate binary logistic regression, the qualitative factors associated with diagnosis by non-rheumatologists are males (OR= 1.80), and the quantitative factors associated with the diagnosis by non-rheumatologists are older age (B=0.027; Table 1).Table 1.Logistic regression to analyses factor associated with non-rheumatologist diagnosis (N= 440)Univariate logistic analysis*Multivariate logistic analysis*ORp-value2ORp-value2Qualitative factorsGender.

Patients diagnosed by non-rheumatologists were more likely male and older, suggesting that the suspicion of axSpA in females and younger patients is low among these healthcare professionals. Beside the rheumatologist, it is essential to educate other HCPs on axSpA diagnostic criteria in order to facilitate correct referrals to rheumatologists and shorten the time to diagnosis and effective treatment.Acknowledgements:This study was supported by Novartis Spain.

Abstract:

Aims and methodTo provide a picture of availability and equality of access to mental health services for older people prior to the Equality Act. In 2010, a questionnaire was sent to health commissioners in England, Scotland and Wales under a Freedom of Information request.ResultsOverall, 132 (76%) replied. Of 11 services, 7 were either unavailable or did not provide equality of access to older people in more than a third of commissioning areas. When provided by specialist older people's mental health, services were more often considered to ensure equality.Clinical implicationsIncreasing need resulting from an ageing population is unlikely to be met in the face of current inequality. Inequality on the basis of age is the result of government policy and not the existence of specialist services for older people. Single age-inclusive services may create indirect age discrimination. Availability alone is insufficient to demonstrate equality of access. Monitoring the effects of legislation must take this into account.

Abstract:

Objective: To compare the perceptions of aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people regarding aspects of mental health service delivery for older people in New South Wales, Australia. Method: The NSW Branch of the Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age in association with the NSW Centre for Mental Health, sent a postal survey to all aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people in NSW. The survey canvassed issues ranging across service profiles, regional variations, availability of resources, processes of care, views on working relationships between services, difficulties and gaps experienced, and ways to improve co-ordination and service delivery. Clinical issues such as the management and practice of psychiatric disorders of old age, educational/training requirements and skill and experience in working with older people were explored. Results: An overall response rate of 86% was achieved, including 95% from aged care services (n = 58), 74% from adult mental health services (n = 62) and 90% from mental health services for older people (n = 20). Only 59% of aged care services and adult mental health services considered that their local mental health services for older people provided an adequate service; resource and budget limitations were portrayed as the main constraint. Mental health services for older people varied widely in structure, settings and activities undertaken. Access to mental health beds for older people was also variable, and alongside staffing levels was considered problematic. Lack of staff training and/or inexperience in psychogeriatrics posed a challenge for aged care services and adult mental health services. Conclusion: Relationships between aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people are affected by lack of access to psychogeriatric staff, resource limitations of mental health services for older people, and inadequate liaison and support between the service types. Joint case conferences, education, increased funding of mental health services for older people, and cross referrals were considered ways to address these issues.

Abstract:

This study examines the differences in mental health between older men and women. A cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted with a representative sample of 504 older adults aged 55 years and older. Mental health was measured by a revised Chinese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Mental Component Summary (MCS) of a Chinese version of SF-36. Mental health differences between men and women were not identified, but gender was found to have an effect on mental health in the 54 to 64 age group, when being a female predicted a poorer status of mental health. The poorer financial status of women was the reason for the gender effect. Mental health predictors for men and women were also compared. The findings concluded that interventions to strengthen financial assistance for aging women were important for enhancing mental health. 這研究對五百零四名五十五歲或以上的長者進行電話調查。結果發現男、女長者精神健康差別在五十五至六十四歲的組別中顯示，較差的經濟狀況是影響女性精神健康的因素。比較男、女精神健康指標的結果顯示，經濟援助對強化女性精神健康的重要性。.

Abstract:

E-Mental Health in older age Ulrich Hegerl, Caroline Oehler Department of Psychiatry, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy, Goethe Universität Frankfurt/M, Germany European Alliance against Depression e.V. (www.EAAD.net) The implementation and uptake of digital tools for self management or psychotherapy for people suffering from depression or other mental disorders has gained momentum during the Covid-19 pandemia. While studies using waiting list or treatment as usual control groups are of limited value, meta-analyses of RCTs with face-to-face psychotherapy as control condition have found a comparable antidepressant effect, especially when the interventions were provided together with professional guidance. The iFightDepression-tool offered by the European Alliance against Depression (EAAD) is available in 10 different languages and is broadly used in several European countries. Data will be presented concerning the attitude of older people concerning iCBT and also concerning effects of age, guidance, and gender on both adherence to the iFightDepression-tool and antidepressant effects.

Abstract:

SummaryAlthough the older adult population makes up only a small percentage of mentally disordered offenders, there is a clear need for forensic mental health services for older people. However, these services to date have developed ad hoc and with no coordination. In this article we discuss the evolution, current provision, future direction and therapeutic implications of such services. Although the epidemiology, criminology and clinical characteristics of older people are sufficiently different from those of younger people to warrant such service specificity, we suggest that the provision of care should be geared to services based on older people's multiple and complex needs, rather than on arbitrary age cut-offs.Learning Objectives• Be able to use an understanding of epidemiology, criminology and clinical characteristics of older people in the provision of forensic mental healthcare• Understand the forensic mental healthcare needs of older people• Be able to develop forensic mental health services for older people

Abstract:

Older people comprise an increasingly significant proportion of the population of the UK and other developed countries. Most remain fit and able to make continuing contributions to their families and society, but they are at risks of periods of ill health and other stresses. Dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, is one of the major health problems of our times and particularly affects older people. Mental ill health, physical ill health and social difficulties are often intertwined, calling for close working between health and social services to provide appropriate help for patients and their carers.

Abstract:

SummaryAggression is common in older people with mental illness, with 15–43% of community referrals to old age psychiatry services and 44–65% of older people with Alzheimer's disease living in the community exhibiting such behaviour. In psychiatric in-patient units, assaults on staff are most common on wards for elderly people with organic mental illness. There is little high-quality research into the management of aggressive behaviour in dementia. We consider the available literature, which has shown certain behavioural measures and different classes of medication to be of benefit. We discuss factors associated with violence in elderly people with mental illness and potential management options.

Abstract:

SummaryMental health services in the state of Victoria, Australia, have undergone enormous change over the past 15 years, with the closure of all stand-alone psychiatric hospitals and a shift of resources and services into the community. Although successful overall, various areas cause concern, including pressure on acute beds, a paucity of alternative residential options, and suboptimal integration of government and non-government agencies concerned with the care of people with mental illnesses. Certain groups, notably those with complex symptom sets such as substance use and mental illness, intellectual disability and forensic problems, remain poorly catered for by the system. Finally, community stigma and lack of work inclusion for mentally ill individuals are ongoing challenges.
