A study in South Korea assessed the effectiveness of the "MINDLiNG" digital mental healthcare program, targeting maladaptive personality traits, and found significant improvements in reducing stress, perfectionism, loneliness, and anxiety, while increasing self-esteem among participants. The study highlights the potential of digital solutions to address the high demand for mental healthcare services in South Korea.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess the impact of a group intervention for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and a psycho-educational intervention for their caregivers. Once participants complete a comprehensive clinical assessment, the study involves the participation of those with a BPD diagnosis in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training group, integrated with ongoing routine treatments. A battery of questionnaires is administered before and after the DBT skills training to assess emotion dysregulation, BPD symptoms severity and other clinical variables. Simultaneously, caregivers of individuals with BPD take part in the Family Connections (FC) program. This sub-study follows a previous pilot study conducted at the same centre. Family members complete assessment questionnaires at three different time points (i.e., at baseline, at immediately post-intervention and at a 4-month follow-up) in order to evaluate putative positive pre-post changes on burden, grief and other clinical variables. In order to explore biomarkers of BPD and stress-related neurobiological mechanisms, blood samples are collected from the BPD patient group at pre and post intervention. At baseline, a blood sample is also collected to identify stress-related biomarkers among family members.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess the impact of the Family Connections (FC) program on various factors including burden, grief and several clinical variables (i.e., depressive symptoms, family functioning, alexithymia, global psychological distress and anger). It specifically targets caregivers of individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The secondary aim of this research is to identify participant profiles that are more likely to experience improvements or deteriorations in their levels of burden and grief. In this study family members are consecutively recruited from four different Italian mental health services and undergo an assessment that includes the gathering of socio-demographic information and completing a comprehensive battery of self-report questionnaires at three specific time points (i.e., at baseline, at immediately post-intervention and at a 4-month follow-up).
The model of care for forensic psychiatry in Italy was changed by law (Law 81/2014) so that the six legacy secure forensic hospitals (Judicial Psychiatric Hospitals, OPG) were closed and new secure community residences for the execution of security measures (REMS) were opened in each of the 20 regions of Italy. This transition was in place by 2015. This observational study evaluates the health gains for patients both previously in OPGs and those admitted first to REMS. Health gains assessed include recovery measured by symptoms, function, need for therapeutic security and recovery of legal autonomy.
Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that severely impacts a person's ability to regulate their emotions. This loss of emotional control can increase impulsivity, affect how a person feels about themselves, and negatively impact their relationships with others. In fact, the societal impact of BPDs might be found in emotional suffering, disability and economic burden. In addition in BPD, the suicide rate might be as high as 8-10%. the presence of BPD also interferes with response to treatment of physical and psychiatric comorbidities, such as migraine, HIV, anxiety disorders and substance use disorders. Furthermore, BPD in particular, are associated with high rates of unemployment, absences from work and inefficiency at work, with only 25% of patients suffering from BPD working full time and 40% receiving disability payments. Accordingly, early detection and management would be of great societal and economic impact. Our Study aim is to validate the Arabic version of Maclean Instrument for screening and detection of BPD and and investigate the possible risk factors associated with that disease
