Filter by:As in the general population, there is a gradual and steady increase in life expectancy of patients with schizophrenia. But this increase is at a smaller scale, with a rate of premature death that is still 2 to 3 times higher than that found in the general population. This excessive early mortality is explained by an overrepresentation of suicide deaths, but also a higher prevalence of somatic diseases, mainly cardiovascular. But today there are only very few epidemiological data on the mortality of patients with schizophrenia, including those aged over 60 years. What are the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics (psychiatric and somatic) of these schizophrenic elderly patients? Do they benefit from a somatic follow-up adequate and systematic? What are their levels of social independence and of quality of life? the answers these questions and the description of the offer of geriatric care and of psychiatric care currently provided by different sectors of psychiatry in France is an indispensable prerequisite for any project to improve the quality of life, state of health and mortality of older patients with schizophrenia.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a parent training program to control disruptive behaviors in children with Tourette Syndrome.
The study will compare the impact of Child STEPs (see Weisz et al., 2012) versus usual school-based therapy on students' mental health and school-related outcomes, and test whether changes in school outcomes are mediated by changes in student mental health.
The experimental strategy is to develop a specific device about the anesthetic and surgical acts for a subject with a documented psychiatric condition and to benefit from surgery. This device is based on 3 stages: pre-operative phase, Phase perioperative and postoperative phase. A nurse anesthetist will come into contact with the subject the day before surgery. This contact will be concomitant with the pre-anesthesia visit. She explained about the general organization of the arrival in the operating room. The interview will be a minimum of 15 minutes and beyond if necessary. This will be accompanying this the next day in the operating room in order to optimize its hospitality and installing the block, guide the subject through all the steps before falling asleep. Finally, even accompanying will be present upon awakening the subject in the recovery room.
The research project aims to analyze the implementation of a new health care system - "alternative device to hospitalization and crisis home for people without home" - whose objective is to provide the homeless and suffering from severe psychiatric disorders adequate care to prevent situations from seeking care or complication of their disease. This device, if it has the administrative and legal structure of the Twin Stop Health Care (LHSS), is based on the original concept of "Soteria House." This will build tools for evaluating the performance of care device by a process evaluation describing and analyzing what activity involves the device, This research seeks to analyze the experimental device in the early stages of its implementation. The observation and analysis of the program period will adjust the management arrangements of the device. The data and conclusions from this research will identify the contributions and benefits of such a device and analyze the difficulties encountered in its implementation.
Aggressive/challenging behaviors in individuals with intellectual disability are a major public health concern for them, their families, their service programs and staff, and their communities. This randomized clinical trial will test the efficacy and cost effectiveness of a preventive community-based social problem solving intervention, the Steps to Effective Problem-solving (STEPS), delivered in group homes. The program uses residential staff participation and the group environment to facilitate improved social problem solving skills and reduce aggressive/challenging behaviors in this population in group homes and work settings.
Aim of study: To evaluate the effects of the shortened version of the Incredible Years (IY) Basic programme, the study which the parents were recruited to. A randomising experimental control between-group design was used with pre- and post-intervention measurements, and a one-year, four-year and ten-year follow-up. Children and families were randomized to either the shortened basic version (n = 89), or the control group (n = 97).
Bipolar disorder is a chronic and frequent mood pathology, that impacts on emotional and socio-professional life of sick subjects, and also increase mortality by suicide. Suicide is considered as a bipolar disorder result. The main goal of this study is the endophenotype characterization from a clinical and cognitive point of view, of a bipolar spectrum's disorder present in a family, and then highlight a mutation of one of the genes involved is this disorder.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence of the following psychiatric pathologies (based on the MINI5.0.0 questionnaire) among 3 groups of women (Leiden versus aP1Ab-positive versus thrombophilia-negative) with similar obstetrical histories 10 years after their initial assessment/diagnosis. - Mood disorders, including depressive episodes during the previous two weeks, recurrent depressive disorders at any point in life, dysthymia in the last two years, or any current or past manic episode; - Anxiety disorders, including current agoraphobia, current panic disorders, agoraphobia with panic disorders, current social phobia, generalized anxiety in the last 6 months, or current posttraumatic stress syndrome; - Apparent psychotic syndromes, including isolated or recurrent psychotic syndromes, past or present (clinically validated), - Current alcohol or drug problems (dependence or abuse).
Conduct disorders are defined as "repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate norms are violated". So defined, these disorders are at the crossroads of psychiatry, social field and justice. Conduct disorder management is a public health issue and a societal question. Conduct disorders affect 5 to 9% of 15-year old boys. Care management of children and adolescents admitted for disruptive behaviors in emergency rooms is an issue. No consensus or official recommendation exists. However, use of emergency care in this context is increasing in most western countries and it exposes to several risks (inappropriate use of hospitalizations, social rupture, ignorance of comorbidities and suicide risk). The Trajectories project is designed to describe children and adolescents with disruptive behaviors, their care management and to follow their life trajectory and psychiatric evolution after admission to emergency rooms. Better understanding this population will improve their medical and social care management, thereby giving professionals the right tools. The main objective of this project is to implement a multidisciplinary and integrative research combining clinical considerations and social sciences to determine the "trajectory" of this population.
