Normalisation theory made perfect sense at the onset of de-institutionalisation. To map its influence on mental health facilities, research was conducted and began with ten facilities within England (UK) and France, followed by a further two in England and four in New Zealand. A checklist tailored to mental health facilities was used to measure the extent to which the facility looked domestic or institutional. Hence, the mental health checklist architecturally measured domesticity versus institutionalisation in psychiatric architecture. It consisted of 212 features, grouped into three main categories—context and site; building; and space and room—and was based on a pre-existing checklist designed for hostels for those with learning disabilities. The mental health checklist was developed and piloted in Europe and reflected European de-institutionalisation principles. Cross-country comparison revealed that patient acuity was potentially not a determinant of institutional buildings for mental health. Institutional facilities in France were detected, and some of the most domestic facilities were within England, with the most recent sample having a greater tendency towards the more institutional end. Those in New Zealand tended towards the most institutional. Across all 16 facilities, there were very few universal institutional and domestic features, raising the ambiguity of a clearly defined stereotype of facilities for mental health service users. Consequently, the current fluidity of design across and within countries provides a significant opportunity for designers and mental health providers to consider non-institutional design, particularly at the planning stage. The use of the mental health checklist facilitates this debate. Future research in other geographical areas and through further consideration of cultural differences provides further opportunities to extend research in this area, with the potential to enhance and improve the lived experience of users of mental health services.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In order to take into account the hygienic aspects of architectural and planning solutions in the construction of new mental health facilities (general hospitals, crisis units, hospices, psychological care centers, etc.), multidisciplinary groups should be involved – architectural and planning, urban planning units, the public, medical representatives of medical institutions, relatives, patients, to take into account all the necessary in-hospital factors. To conduct a hygienic assessment of architectural and planning solutions for buildings of psychiatric health care institutions in Ukraine that were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and to provide a comparative description of the hygienic standards of psychiatric health care institutions in different countries. The study was conducted on the basis of the analysis of the DBN B.2.2-10:2022 "Health Care Facilities", scientific sources of domestic and foreign scientists. A survey was conducted among chief physicians of psychiatric hospitals in Ukraine on safe sanitary and hygienic, anti-epidemic conditions of psychiatric health care facilities. There were 55 psychiatric hospitals in Ukraine before the outbreak of full-scale war: 28.6% of them were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (from 1786 to 1945), 28.6% after the Great Patriotic War (from 1945–1991), and 42.8% during the period of Ukraine's independence (from 1991–2013). Only 25% of psychiatric institutions have playgrounds for outdoor games equipped with tennis tables and volleyball nets (for table tennis and volleyball), 25% of hospitals have playgrounds for quiet recreation (chess, dominoes), and 12.5% have playgrounds for physical education and recreation (sports and play areas). At the same time, 41.6% of these sites are in satisfactory condition. Ukraine has adopted the State Construction Standards of Ukraine DBN B.2.2-10:2022 "Healthcare Facilities. Basic Provisions". It provides basic provisions for the design of health care facilities (buildings and structures of all types of health care facilities) during new construction and reconstruction or during major repairs in health care facilities. However, there is currently no formal sanitary legislation containing sanitary, epidemiological and hygienic requirements for the decoration, equipment and operation of health care facilities with inpatient units.

The primary focus of a healthcare organization is the promotion of health and the avoidance of disease, sickness, injury, and other impairments of human physical and mental functioning. The health care industry is a service sector. In terms of both income and employment, healthcare has grown to become one of India's greatest industries. Medical case history, resource planning, and hospital server databases are all severely lacking. As a consequence, medical facilities are now more productive and efficient. A lack of proper planning in hospitals has led to subpar decision making in areas like manpower and personnel management, payroll and employee-related applications, hospital billing and recovery, inventory control procurement, planning, and control, expiration date management, resource utilization and analysis, financial accounting, capital budgeting and expense control, and maintenance of service facilities.

Introduction Dual diagnosis is commonly treated by Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). Addiction is a common complicating factor in individuals with major mental illnesses. It is established that businesses on high streets impact on the public’s health. Objectives We hope to generate discussion about the planning and the placement of community mental health services. Methods The location of County Dublin community mental health teams’ outpatient clinics’ and day hospitals’ were obtained from the Health Service Executive directory website. All off licenses’ and bookmakers’ addresses in County Dublin were obtained from the Irish Revenue Commissioners website. The distances were measured using Google Maps and a programming script to generate a matrix under one-kilometre radius walking distances between the locations. No ethical approval is required. All Data are sought from publicly available websites. Results On average, there are 6.29 (SD 4.20; Median 5.) off-licenses and 2.4 (SD 2.28; Median 2) bookmarkers offices per mental health facility within1 km walking distance. The Central Dublin Mental Health Service has the highest prevalence of off-licenses (45, 34.4%), and the Central South Dublin Service(20, 39.2%) has the highest prevalence of bookmakers. Southeast Dublin Service has the lowest in both businesses. The closest distance to an off-license from mental health facilities was 0 meters. Conclusions Psychiatrists have a role in advocating the needs of individuals with dual diagnoses. The Department of Health and Health Service Executive (HSE) should develop a guideline and protocol for the community health services in the structuring and planning mental health services in the community health outpatient service setup.

AbstractObjectiveClosure of several New York City (NYC) hospitals after Hurricane Sandy caused an unanticipated, extended surge in patient demand at open hospitals. This study identified hospitals with a significant increase in mental-health-related emergency department, inpatient, and outpatient visits from Medicaid patients displaced by Hurricane Sandy.MethodsNYC Medicaid patients were classified into non-mutually-exclusive geographic categories corresponding to residence in areas served by Bellevue Hospital Center and Coney Island Hospital, the hurricane impact area, and all of NYC. For each geographic region, we compared the observed to the expected number of service visits in the 6 months after the storm. The expected number of visits was calculated from 2-year trends in mental health claims.ResultsTwenty-four facilities in all 5 NYC boroughs experienced patient redistribution from storm-affected areas. Eighteen facilities had a concurrent surge in total Medicaid patients, which suggested that redistribution had a greater impact on resource use at these locations.ConclusionsThe redistribution of Medicaid patients after Hurricane Sandy increased mental health service utilization at facilities not near flooded areas. Our findings can aid in surge capacity planning and thereby improve the continuity of mental health care after a natural disaster. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2016;10:420–427)

Description of the topic: Paying attention to human resources along with the use of new methods, reconstruction of past structures and optimal use of potential and actual facilities is one of the factors for the success of organizational goals, and the success of the organization depends on the establishment of an efficient system based on goals and the existence of the desired human force. And it is appropriate. Undoubtedly, an organization is successful in performing its duties and achieving its goals. which, in addition to establishing an efficient and targeted system, has the best and most skilled employees. Among the effective things for having an efficient system among bank employees is to investigate the effect of mental schema in creating mental health and cognitive beliefs. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of mental schemas with mental health and cognitive beliefs. Research method: The method of studying the article was a descriptive survey method, which is used as a method to discover and identify the characteristics and distribution of these characteristics, as well as how the variables interact in a society. Results: The results of this article show that metacognition has a positive and significant correlation with mental schema and mental health, meaning that bank employees who use metacognitive skills have better mental schema and mental health. have Also, mental health has a positive correlation with mental schema. In this way, the higher the mental health of bank employees, the higher their mental schema.

Introduction:Children are frequently victims of disasters, however important gaps remain in pediatric disaster planning. This includes a lack of resources for pediatric preparedness planning for patients in outpatient/urgent-care facilities. The New York City Pediatric Disaster Coalition (NYCPDC) is funded by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to improve NYC’s pediatric disaster preparedness and response.Aim:After creating planning resources in Pediatric Long-Term Care Facilities, Hospital Pediatric Departments, Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Obstetric/Newborn Services within NYC hospitals, the NYCPDC partnered with leaders and experts from outpatient/urgent-care facilities caring for pediatric patients and created the Pediatric Outpatient Disaster Planning Committee (PODPC). PODPC’s goal was to create guidelines and templates for use in disaster planning for pediatric patients at outpatient/urgent-care facilities.Methods:The PODPC includes physicians, nurses, administrators, and emergency planning experts who have experience working with outpatient facilities. There were 21 committee members from eight organizations (the NYCPDC, DOHMH, Community Healthcare Association of NY State, NY State DOH, NYC Health and Hospitals, Maimonides Medical Center and Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center). The committee met six times over a four-month period and shared information to create disaster planning tools that meet the specific pediatric challenges in the outpatient setting.Results:Utilizing an iterative process including literature review, participant presentations, discussions review, and improvement of working documents, the final guidelines and templates for surge and evacuation of pediatric patients in outpatient/urgent care facilities were created in February 2018. Subsequently, model plans were completed and implemented at five NYC outpatient/urgent-care facilities.Discussion:An expert committee utilizing an iterative process successfully created disaster guidelines and templates for pediatric outpatient/urgent care facilities. They addressed the importance of matching the special needs of children to available space, staff, and equipment needs and created model plans for site-specific use.

Aim: to conduct a hygienic assessment of new architectural and planning solutions of psychiatric health care facility buildings in Ukraine and give a comparative description of the sanitary standards of the latter in the EU. The study was conducted based on the analysis of State Building Norms (SBN) B.2.2-10:2019 “Buildings and structures. Health care facilities” (draft, final revision), scientific sources of domestic and foreign scientists. A survey of the chief physicians of psychiatric hospitals of Ukraine concerning safe sanitary and hygienic, anti-epidemic conditions for the functioning of psychiatric health care facilities was conducted. We consider it necessary to present more carefully architectural and planning solutions in the relevant section of SBN B.2.2-10:2019 (draft, final revision) or to use the opportunity specified in the introduction to these Norms, and to supplement them with the Manual on the design of psychiatric health care facilities, taking into account the experience of the European Union. To create an appropriate “therapeutic environment” in new domestic mental health care facilities, it is necessary to implement European requirements in the design of these facilities with the involvement of multidisciplinary groups: (from architects to nurses, from construction contractors to patients) and supplement SBN B.2.2-10:2019 “Buildings and structures. Health care Facilities” of Ukraine with a guide for designing facilities of a new type of “Mental Health Centers” as in the Republic of Poland. We have developed and sent to the chief physicians of psychiatric hospitals of Ukraine «Questionnaire for scientific sanitary and epidemiological assessment of the conditions of placement of a psychiatric health care facility”. Based on the analysis of the block of questions on sanitary and antiepidemic and sanitary and hygienic parameters that characterize the buildings of domestic psychiatric hospitals, the location of medical structures and auxiliary units on the land plot, i.e. the design of buildings is determined. In particular, 50% of psychiatric hospitals are housed in combined buildings, 25% have a pavilion system (separate buildings), 12.5% each have a centralized system (all in one building) and a block system. The number of stories of psychiatric hospitals up to 2 is 50%, up to 3 – 37.5% and up to 5 stories in those which have been under construction since 1960 – 12.5%. Analysis of the questionnaire block on the conditions of stay, treatment, rehabilitation of the mentally ill revealed the possibility of organizing occupational therapy in 12.5% of psychiatric hospitals, where special workshops are equipped and patients can acquire professional skills. Physiotherapy rooms are equipped in 50% of psychiatric hospitals. Low provision of patients with furniture was revealed: 25% of patients partially have proper desk, 75% do not have it; 50% are provided with proper chairs; 62.8% use proper bedside tables and 25% – closets for storing personal clothes.

Introduction:Children are frequently victims of disasters. However, significant gaps remain in pediatric disaster preparedness planning. This includes a lack of planning for pediatric residents in long-term care facilities. The New York City (NYC) Pediatric Disaster Coalition (PDC) is funded by the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to improve NYC’s pediatric disaster preparedness and response. The NYC PDC partnered with experts in pediatric disaster management and the care of pediatric residents in long-term care facilities to create the Pediatric Long-Term Care Planning Committee (PLTCPC).Method:The PLTCPC included physicians, nurses, administrators, and emergency planning experts. The PLTCPC’s goal was to create guidelines and templates for use in disaster planning for pediatric residents at long-term care facilities. The committee met bi-weekly over three months and shared facility resources to create tools that meet the specific challenges presented by this population.Results:Utilizing an iterative process that included a literature review, participant presentations, review and improvement of the working documents, the final guidelines and templates for surge and evacuation of pediatric residents in long-term care facilities were created. Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NYC PDC reconvened the PLTCPC to focus on surge planning for pandemics at pediatric long-term care facilities. Two pediatric infectious disease clinicians were added to the committee. Utilizing the same process delineated above, a detailed pandemic specific annex was created based on clinical pediatric experience gained throughout the pandemic.Conclusion:To the authors' knowledge, these are the first pediatric-specific resources for long-term care disaster planning. They address the importance of matching resources to the unique needs of PLTC facilities, in regard to space, equipment, staffing, and training. Pediatric long-term care facilities present special needs during pandemics and this approach can be utilized as a model for other facilities.

The patterns of use of psychiatric emergency services in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan were studied. A total of 576 patients who had received psychiatric emergency care from any of the four major health care facilities in Saskatoon during a three month period were included in the study. Visits for psychiatric emergency services during the study period represented 2.32% of the total number of visits to emergency facilities. Most patients with psychiatric emergencies went to hospitals with psychiatric units. The characteristics of patients served by the four facilities and those who visited the psychiatric emergency services on more than one occasion during the study period are reported. The implications of these findings for health care planning are discussed.

AbstractThere is a growing number of older people incarcerated across the United States. With a population of greater than 300 million, the US has 5% of the world’s population, yet incarcerates 25% of the world’s prisoners. From 2000 to 2005, the percentage of prisoners in federal and state correctional institutions who were 55 and older increased by 33%. According to the American Civil Liberties Union older prison population has climbed 1300% since the 1980s, with 125,000 inmates aged 55 or older incarcerated.Correctional facilities are the largest mental health institutions with 1 out of 5 individuals with serious mental health or substance use disorders. These facilities lack the capacity to provide long-term care for those with severe physical or mental health disorders even in the most ideal circumstances.Individuals within the criminal justice system have a higher burden of chronic physical and health disorders and have a lower life expectancy.Health care decision making is one area where patients in custody have autonomy in discussing advance directives, substitute decision makers and medical decision making. However, prisoners are at risk of suboptimal care, unmet palliative and end of life care needs, and lacking or inappropriate surrogates. Without documentation of advance directives or surrogates there are bureaucratic, practical, and legal barriers particularly for those without family or friends. In addition, some individuals involved in the correctional system’s only surviving family members may also be their victims, thus have a conflict of interest.This presentation will explore capacity and substitute decision making for individuals involved in the criminal justice system who have severe mental and physical health disorders. A case description will be used to illustrate a decision-making tree for patients who are incarcerated. As the world population continues to age, the number of older people who are incarcerated and unable to make healthcare decisions will continue to increase. In this special population, correctional system clinicians and providers need to be familiar with strategies to address the need for advance care planning before older people lose decisional capacity.

Background and context: Patient safety protocols in mental health are often given less importance than they merit. Procedures to enhance the culture of safety in mental health facilities can benefit not only patients and their families, but also providers and administrators. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s Actionable Patient Safety Solutions around mental health highlight the importance of tools such as collaborative care planning and comfort care kits. Aim: This article aims to provide an insight into patient and clinician experiences using the collaborative care planning and comfort kits outlined in Actionable Patient Safety Solutions. Conclusions: Collaborative care planning and the development of elements such as comfort care kits have the potential to improve patient experiences, outcomes and safety. From the organisational point of view, Actionable Patient Safety Solutions have the potential to improve cost effectiveness and structural efficiency. Implications for practice: Collaborative care planning has been shown to reduce the incidence of patients harm and suicide It is low cost and can easily be tailored to specific contexts There is significant potential for a reduction in organisational inefficiencies, clinically, structurally, and financially with the adoption of a collaborative care planning model Understanding the firsthand perspectives of patients and clinicians themselves can offer significant insight for implementation in other settings

Abstract Few studies have explored the underlying pathways between environment cognition (i.e., perception of environment) and mental health in older adults. We tested the mediation effects of physical activity and place attachment in the relationship between environmental cognition and mental health, based on a survey study of 1,553 older adults in Hong Kong using structural equation model. The results showed that significant relationship between negative environmental cognition (i.e., residing in higher accessible area but perceive lower) on access to convenient stores, leisure facilities, clinics, community centers, religious places and lower mental health can be explained by lower daily average physical activity time. Place attachment can significantly mediate the positive effect of positive environmental cognition (i.e., residing in lower accessible area but perceive higher) towards all types of services on mental health. Findings from this study have policy implication for urban planning and age-friendly community design

The 1975 White Paper Better Services for the Mentally Ill recognises different roles for day hospitals, day centres and the voluntary sector in the provision of psychiatric day care. Two broad client groups, needing short-term support or long-term care, are described. However, Vaughn (1983 and 1985) and Wilkinson (1984) have reviewed lack of co-ordinated planning in the provision of services and the placement of clients. Carter (1981) in a major survey of day care, showed that in many cases it was difficult to differentiate between day hospital and day centre services or client groups.

Modern military spaces demand comprehensive solutions to enhance the physical, mental, and social well-being of servicemen. Our research is focused on developing the planning organization for a recreational and health complex for military personnel in the mountainous regions of Ukraine.
The emphasis of the work is placed on utilizing natural resources of mountainous terrain to create an effective and environmentally sustainable recreational complex. The possibility of using high-altitude areas for active recreation, mountaineering, and other extreme sports is explored.
Special attention is given to the psychological aspects of servicemen's recovery. We propose the creation of specialized zones for psychotherapy and psychological rehabilitation, where innovative methods and technologies are applied to improve mental health.
The article also discusses the issue of infrastructure organization of the complex, including living conditions, nutrition, and ensuring safety. Recommendations for establishing effective medical facilities and health and safety provisions within the investigated area are provided.
This work aims to provide scientific foundations for planning and organizing recreational and health zones for military personnel in the mountainous regions of Ukraine, contributing to the improvement of the physical and mental well-being of servicemen and enhancing their combat readiness.

Scientific evidence shows that each place/environment generates specific conditions with associated impacts on the mental health and well-being of the population. A holistic, multilevel and integrated environmental approach to mental health enhances the understanding of this phenomena, supporting the local decision-making processes to improve spatial planning of neighbourhood environments. The aim of this study is to develop a strategic assessment framework, based on four municipalities in the Lisbon Region (Portugal), that explores policy and planning initiatives capable of generating favourable neighbourhood environmental conditions for mental health while also detecting risks. Using baseline results of significant statistical associations between individuals’ perceptions of their neighbourhood environment and their mental health in the Lisbon Region, a Strategic Focus on Environmental and Mental Health Assessment framework (SEmHA) was built, by applying the methodology “Strategic Thinking for Sustainability” in Strategic Environmental Assessment, developed by Partidário in 2012. Taking into account the promotion of the population’s mental health, four critical decision factors of neighbourhood environments were identified: (1) public space quality (e.g., improving sense of place), (2) physical environment quality (e.g., low levels of noise exposure), (3) professional qualification and creation of economic activities (e.g., attracting new economic activities), and (4) services and facilities (e.g., improving access to health and education services). The proposed strategic focus and assessment framework contributes to ensuring that interventions in neighbourhood environments truly achieve community mental health benefits and reduce inequalities, thus helping policy makers to assess impacts at the local level.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In order to clarify the mechanism by which subjectively built environments impact the physical and mental health of older adults and promote the construction of “healthy aging” and “healthy cities,” this study develops a structural equation model based on questionnaire data from older adults in Hefei and constructs a mechanism of a “community subjectively built environment—physical and mental health” with leisure physical activities and social interaction activities as mediators. The results indicate that the specific combination of subjectively built environmental factors such as community safety and security, internal supportive living facilities, a green environment, a walking environment, and a degree of beautification significantly impacts the physical and mental health of older adults. Leisure physical activity and social interaction activities play different roles in mediation, forming two sets of action mechanisms: “community-built environment—leisure physical activity—physical health” and “community-built environment—social interaction activity—physical and mental health.”

In response to the second surge of COVID-19 cases in Hawaii in the fall of 2020, the Hawaii State Department of Health Behavioral Health Administration led and contracted a coalition of agencies to plan and implement an isolation and quarantine facility placement service that included food, testing, and transportation assistance for a state capitol and major urban center. The goal of the program was to provide safe isolation and quarantine options for individual residents at risk of not being able to comply with isolation and quarantine mandates. Drawing upon historical lived experiences in planning and implementing the system for isolation and quarantine facilities, this qualitative public health case study report applies the plan-do-study-act (PDSA) improvement model and framework to review and summarize the implementation of this system. This case study also offers lessons for a unique opportunity for collaboration led by a public behavioral health leadership that expands upon traditionally narrow infectious disease control, by developing a continuum of care that not only addresses immediate COVID-19 concerns but also longer-term supports and services including housing, access to mental health services, and other social services. This case study highlights the role of a state agency in building a coalition of agencies, including a public university, to respond to the pandemic. The case study also discusses how continuous learning was executed to improve delivery of care.

For many marginalised families, availability of healthcare is uncertain leading to catastrophic costs. To meet the need in an orderly and efficient manner without duplication, Areawide / Regional planning was envisioned by health planners in the 1950s. This paper aims to revisit the above concept in healthcare with application to the existing system of Guntur district. A search was made for available health facilities and bed strength in the public sector of the district. An effort is made to apply the arewide planning concept to the district in strategic locations. The recent pandemic has shown the need for preparedness across the district in terms of bed strength, equipment and personnel. The urban population of the district is 33.8% (1.5 beds/1000 ) and the rural population is 66.19% (0.5/1000). Areawide planning envisages Mandal, Division and District level hospitals. The PHCs at the mandal level can be upgraded to have Maternal and Child health units and ICUs with the necessary specialists and equipment in place. The division level hospital must have all primary specialities with consultative support to the lower facilities. The District level hospital must have all the super specialities and provide referral services.Regionalisation also looks at creating one special care unit like burns, mental health, cancer etc at each strategically located hospital. Areawide planning will improve efficiency and economy in health care delivery. Gaps in healthcare and wastage due to overlapping can be avoided.

Cities are a home to most of the population of the world. People move to cities from rural areas in search of job opportunities, education, better life facilities etc. which results in drastic rise in population in the cities. Because of the high population concentration and the economic activities, cities are often hotspots for the faster and wider spread of any infectious related pandemic. The emergence of COVID-19 has once again made city planners to reflect on how prepared they are to control and manage a city during any pandemic and about life in cities post pandemic.This paper focuses on highlighting the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and suggesting new ways to help prepare cities to manage the mental health crisis of the city population caused during any pandemic. We will try to understand the factors that leads to mental health distress during any pandemic. Based on the understanding we will try to suggest some ways how city planners can plan and take necessary measures in order to cater for its population’s mental health. It is imperative for us all to understand that the root to being a successful nation is by having healthy and efficient man force.The economic growth of a nation wholly depends on the human labor. No matter how developed a nation is, it still relies on human force to do its work, to run its machines and to grow. Hence, it is needed to make sure that the principal source of economic growth is taken care of and is in good health both mentally and physically. Covid-19 has left the world and its way of functioning altered. Accepting and going by the “new normal” is also a challenge that the entire population of the world is now facing. In order for the population to cope with the altered and post pandemic world, urban planning should be done in a way to efficiently absorb the pandemic shocks mentally.

As part of the shift towards community care, a number of the large mental hospitals throughout the United Kingdom have now closed and many more are due for closure. In a review of deinstitutionalisation, Thornicroft & Bebbington (1989) concluded that the run-down of hospitals was outstripping the provision of new community facilities. Between 1974 and 1984 the mental hospital population fell by 25,000. However, the increase in residential places provided by local authorities and by the private and voluntary sectors totalled only 3,000. Inadequate planning and provision could give rise to discharged patients facing the prospect of isolated, segregated and impoverished lives with a high likelihood of homelessness and recurrent admission.

“The philosophy of Community Care has resulted in the closure of several mental hospitals in this country. The ethos of the Worcester Development Project saw the closure of St Wulstan's and Powick Hospitals, and their replacement by a community-based service. This paper briefly describes the outcome of a three-year retrospective study completed in 1988 following the closure of both hospitals. The findings provide a comparison of the two hospitals, including details of the destination of all the patients. It is suggested that the term ‘hospital replacement’ might be preferable to ‘hospital closure’.”“The Worcester Development Project began in 1968 when the Department of Health and Social Security brought together the Worcester and Kidderminster Hospital Management Committee and the County Council in a co-ordinated joint planning venture. Powick Hospital was chosen as the location for testing the hypothesis that closing a mental hospital and replacing it with general hospital psychiatric units, supported by a variety of community facilities, would provide a more economical and better service. This paper describes the outcome of this unique opportunity to study the problems involved in closing a mental hospital and its replacement with other facilities.”

Depression among older adults is one of the most critical public health issues. The proximity of elementary schools has been positively associated with neighborhood social cohesion and quality of life. However, no studies have identified an association between the proximity of elementary school and older adults’ mental health. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between the proximity of elementary schools, one of the core facilities of neighborhood communities in Japan, and depression in older adults. A total of 131,871 participants (63,430 men 73.7 ± 6.1 years, 68,441 women 73.8 ± 6.2 years) were analyzed from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) 2016 survey. Logistic regression analysis showed that there was no association between distance to elementary school and depression among males. However, among females, compared with the participants living within 400 m from the nearest elementary school, the odds ratio of depression for those living between 400 and 799 m and more than 800 m away were 1.06 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00–1.12) and 1.07 (95% CI 1.00–1.15), respectively. The findings may be useful when considering the design of communities around elementary schools and the planning of facilities as a population-based approach to promote mental health of older women.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the role of recreational facilities in community well-being in India. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study revealed that, ranging from parks and playgrounds to community centers and sports complexes, serve as focal points for social interaction, physical activity, and cultural exchange within neighborhoods. Studies indicate that access to such amenities correlates with improved mental and physical health outcomes, reduced stress levels, and increased community cohesion. Furthermore, recreational facilities often contribute to crime prevention by providing safe spaces for leisure activities and fostering a sense of belonging among residents. Their presence can also enhance property values and attract businesses, thus contributing to overall community development. As vital components of urban planning and public infrastructure, investing in and maintaining recreational facilities is essential for fostering healthier, happier, and more connected communities. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social capital theory, place attachment theory and ecological systems theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the role of recreational facilities in community well-being in India. Design and implement community-driven initiatives to enhance the accessibility, inclusivity, and quality of recreational facilities, ensuring that they meet the diverse needs and preferences of residents across different demographic groups and geographic contexts. Advocate for policies and funding mechanisms that prioritize investments in recreational infrastructure as integral components of urban planning and development strategies, recognizing their essential role in promoting public health, social cohesion, and economic vitality.

Against the backdrop of accelerating population aging and scarce elderly care resources and facilities in China, the issue of the sense of safety among the elderly has received widespread attention. This article is based on data from the China Labor Force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) in 2016 and takes three major urban agglomerations as examples to examine the impact mechanisms of urban built environments on elderly people’s sense of safety. The results indicate that the characteristics of the urban built environment, the social environment, and individual health affect the safety perceptions of the elderly. Among them, urbanization rate, hospital facilities, population density, greening rate, air quality, and frequency of dining out have significant impacts on elderly people’s sense of safety. Simultaneously, good daily exercise and mental health status can significantly improve elderly people’s sense of safety. This article summarizes the existing problems of aging-friendly spaces and facilities in three major urban agglomerations, proposes planning strategies to enhance elderly people’s sense of safety, and provides a useful reference for urban aging-friendly transformations and an elderly-friendly society.

Among the key factors required for the adequate development and growth of children’s physical and mental health is the child’s outdoor activities. Master plans are inclusive and provide sustainable settlements when they accommodate and respond to children. An understanding of the child’s need for outdoor spaces will help build better public spaces thereby providing opportunities for better physical, mental and emotional health of children. This paper is an effort to explore those environmental settings which are conducive for their physical activities. It tries to uncover the spatial planning approach which can contribute to child friendly spaces. The study is an investigation and a comparative analysis of a planned and an organic settlement in an urban fabric; HSR layout and Mangammanapalya in Bangalore, India. A qualitative analysis of the various layers of the physical settings has been done. The investigations reveal how each settlement caters to and supports the physical needs of children. The goal is to make use of these findings in the future planning and design intervention of neighbourhoods. The findings for the planned settlement, HSR revealed the presence of amenities like parks, playgrounds and sports facilities which the children frequented. The organic settlement lacked the presence of parks but the street network pattern revealed a majority of dead ends which are used as play spaces by children. Increase in commercial use in the settlement of HSR brought about the threat of traffic and stranger danger which act as deterrents to the independent mobility of the child while Mangammanapalya because of its cul de sacs which discourage through traffic offered a relatively safe and sustainable environment for play and mobility on its streets. A child friendly route could act as a safe and interesting path for children to explore the neighbourhood.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to understand better the service implications of patients presenting to an inner city Australian Emergency Department (ED) and Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Service (AIS) with a history of recent crystal methamphetamine use. Methods: An audit was taken of all patients with recent crystal methamphetamine use presenting to St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne ED and AIS over the month of September 2017. Recorded information included patient demographics, diagnosis, aggressive episodes, restrictive interventions and other risk incidents. Results: Methamphetamine was related to 21.7% of AIS admissions. Of these individuals, half were involved in aggression towards staff. In the ED, 65.7% of patients with amphetamine use were aggressive to staff and 50% were aggressive towards other patients. There were high rates of physical (69.2%) and mechanical restraint (61.5%) in the ED setting. Methamphetamine use in the AIS was commonly associated with enduring psychotic disorders, whilst those managed exclusively in the ED were most commonly in an acute intoxicated state. Conclusions: Methamphetamine use presents a significant challenge to EDs and acute mental health services. Additional resources are required to manage these patients and their impact on the health system needs to be factored into future service planning.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Background: Percentage reduction of inpatient admissions by acute general psychiatric day care in individual facilities (i.e. feasibility rate of acute day care) seems to be an important parameter for service planning. Previously reported feasibility rates showed significant variation, however, and were based on eligibility criteria defined for randomized controlled trials. This paper aims to perform an in-depth exploration of the calculation method of these feasibility rates, to propose different calculation methods expanding research definitions to the reality of service provision, and to analyze the association between the availability of residential services in regional mental health service systems and these rates. Methods: Data from the randomization process of the European Day Hospital Evaluation (EDEN) study in which a total of 1117 patients were included in five sites provided the basis to calculate site-specific and overall rates of patients for whom this mode of treatment might be adequate. Sensitivity analyses were carried out by varying the selection of patients’ eligibility criteria and thus calculating different feasibility estimates. Data on the regional mental health care systems were collected by use of the European Service Mapping Schedule. Results: The use of four different calculation methods showed that site-specific feasibility rates of acute day care for general psychiatric patients varied from 13.8% to 25.7% up to 44.1% to 79.0%. Overall rates varied from 17.3% up to 67.7%, respectively. The high values were calculated under a scenario where the current acute day care model of care is enhanced to manage more complicated patients than currently treated under existing acute day care models. In three out of the four calculation methods higher rates were calculated for sites which demonstrated higher figures of residential services, and thus were less advanced in their process of deinstitutionalization. Conclusions: In order to determine the capacity of day hospitals as an alternative to acute psychiatric hospital care, mental health care planning must clearly decide on the eligibility criteria of patients to be treated in these facilities. Guided by such definitions, treatment concepts and professional qualifications of the staff in these facilities need to be adapted. The finding that less de-institutionalized regions may benefit most from a transition to acute day care as a means for promoting the transition to a community model of care for otherwise institutionalized patients must be assessed in more detail.

AbstractWe aimed to explore personal factors in use of rehabilitation counseling and mental health services by Māori adults. Participants were three Māori adults (females = 2, residing in major urban settings, age range 45–50 years old; male = 1, residing in a rural setting, age range = 25–30 years old). Thematic analysis yielded the following findings: (a) a preference of Māori service providers who understand whānau culture, (b) an understanding of whakapapa or the family structure as an integral source of social support as counselors are planning for treatment, (c) establishing and maintaining trusting relationships within the Māori community by non-Māori counselors, (d) having financial difficulties when attempting to access rehabilitation resources, (e) limited access to health care facilities and services or lack of information about the services available, and (f) a general mistrust of government operated systems. Rehabilitation and mental health services with Māori should address personal cultural and systemic exclusion factors for better service engagement.

This research aims to determine the implementation of character education through the nine pillars of early childhood character at the Dharma Wanita PBB Sukoanyar Kindergarten. The focus of the research is learning planning, implementation strategies, forms of activities, and supporting, inhibiting and solution factors. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The results of this research describe that character education through the nine pillars of character at the Dharma Wanita PBB Sukoanyar Kindergarten has been implemented, but is not yet effective because in the learning planning and form of activities there are character pillars that have not been included in the RPPH so they have an impact on character. Where children are found who don't line up, throw rubbish carelessly, don't queue to wash their hands, don't shake hands, don't return toys, and like to fight. The supporting factors are the inclusion of learning planning in the KTSP and parental support. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors are the absence of training in implementing character education, teacher confusion in planning and determining the form of children's activities and inadequate facilities and infrastructure. The solution is to hold sharing between school principals and teachers about children's character problems, and teachers' difficulties in implementing character education, the principal will program training and improve infrastructure.

Aims.Information is crucial in mental healthcare, yet it remains undervalued by stakeholders. Its absence undermines rationality in planning, makes it difficult to monitor service quality improvement, impedes accountability and human rights monitoring. For international organizations (e.g., WHO, OECD), information is indispensable for achieving better outcomes in mental health policies, services and programs. This article reviews the importance of developing system level information with reference to inputs, processes and outputs, analyzes available tools for collecting and summarizing information, highlights the various goals of information gathering, discusses implementation issues and charts the way forward.Methods.Relevant publications and research were consulted, including WHO studies that purport to promote the use of information systems to upgrade mental health care in high- and low-middle income countries.Results.Studies have shown that once information has been collected by relevant systems and analyzed through indicator schemes, it can be put to many uses. Monitoring mental health services, represents a first step in using information. In addition, studies have noted that information is a prime resource in many other areas such as evaluation of quality of care against evidence based standards of care. Services data may support health services research where it is possible to link mental health data with other health and non-health databases. Information systems are required to carefully monitor involuntary admissions, restrain and seclusion, to reduce human rights violations in care facilities. Information has been also found useful for policy makers, to monitor the implementation of policies, to evaluate their impact, to rationally allocate funding and to create new financing models.Conclusions.Despite its manifold applications, Information systems currently face many problems such as incomplete recording, poor data quality, lack of timely reporting and feedback, and limited application of information. Corrective action is needed to upgrade data collection in outpatient facilities, to improve data quality, to establish clear rules and norms, to access adequate information technology equipment and to train health care personnel in data collection. Moreover, it is necessary to shift from mere administrative data collection to analysis, dissemination and use by relevant stakeholders and to develop a “culture of information” to dismantle the culture of intuition and mere tradition. Clinical directors, mental health managers, patient and family representatives, as well as politicians should be educated to operate with information and not just intuition.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The health status of young offenders is often poorer than similar aged non-offenders. Addressing young offender needs is a key priority for their rehabilitation and reintegration into the community. The objectives were to identify programs and interventions that assist detained youth through focussed discharge planning by a systematic review of the literature. In addition, this review examined the identified health needs of young offenders in secure care. Our systematic review searched electronic databases using the keyword terms youth, secure care, health assessment and primary health care. Keyword browser terms were also entered as search strings, and only literature from 1997 onwards was retained. Twenty-two pieces of published literature were retained, and these documented the needs and service utilisation of young offenders. Mental health problems and trauma exposure were commonly identified in the literature, as was general physical health deficits and social and familial problems. Retrieved articles also made recommendations for health assessments and discharge planning, and some provided discharge planning models. Young offenders have diverse needs that can be ascertained from quality assessment measures. Effective discharge planning is important to attend to ongoing health issues and aid rehabilitation and reintegration into the community. By administering a comprehensive multidimensional screening measure upon admission to secure care, individualised care plans can be formulated with discharge planning measures. Recommendations for further study include the development and implementation of a needs assessment tool in youth secure-care facilities that complements the existing assessments and helps reintegrate young offenders to primary health care and community services.
