Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators programme of research will evaluate an existing physical health care screening intervention with the aim of helping Community Psychiatric Nurses (CPN) to improve the physical health wellbeing of people with a SMI.

This pilot clustered randomised controlled trial aims to establish the potential efficacy and acceptability of the Chinese Health Improvement Profile (CHIP) in improving the physical health of people with severe mental illness.


Clinical Trial Description

This pilot study will use a non-blinded parallel group clustered randomised controlled trial design.

The study will be carried out by CPNs with community-dwelling people aged 18-65 who have a psychiatric diagnosis of SMI (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, other psychotic disorder or bipolar affective disorder) and at the point of recruitment are being treated in the community. It will investigate the potential clinical impact of the use of the CHIP tool when used by CPNs with this patient group. Because the CHIP is designed to be used as both an enhanced physical health risk screening tool and as an instrument to direct appropriate clinical interventions the investigators will ask the patients' allocated CPNs to recruit consenting patients , collect outcome measure data and where appropriate use the CHIP tool with patients that they work with within their routine clinical practice.

Primary objective:

To test the potential efficacy and acceptability of the CHIP intervention compared to treatment as usual on patients' physical well- being over a 12 month period.

Secondary objectives:

To measure and compare changes in perceived mental well-being between the groups as measured at baseline, and at 6 months and 12 months after the start of the intervention.

To establish differences in the objective physical health state of patients between the groups at 12 months as indicated by data routinely recorded in medical/outpatient/nursing notes during the duration of study.

To establish changes in health behaviours and physical indicators of cardiovascular risk within the intervention group between baseline and 12 months after the start of the intervention. ;
