Mental health care in Italy: Basaglia's ashes in the wind of the crisis of the last decade.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The purpose is to highlight the legal and ethical principles that inspired the reform of mental health care in Italy, the only country to have closed its psychiatric hospitals. The article will also try to verify some macro-indicators of the quality of care and discuss the crisis that the mental health care system in Italy is experiencing. METHODS: Narrative review. RESULTS: The principal changes in the legislation on mental health care in Italy assumed an important role in the evolution of morals and common sense of the civil society of that country. We describe three critical points: first, the differences in implementation in the different Italian regions; second, the progressive lack of resources that cannot be totally attributed to the economic crisis and which has compromised application of the law; and finally, the scarce attention given to measurement of change with scientific methods. CONCLUSION: Italy created a revolutionary approach to mental health care in a historical framework in which it produced impressive cultural expressions in many fields. At that time, people were accustomed to 'believing and doing' rather than questioning results and producing research, and this led to underestimating the importance of a scientific approach. With its economic and cultural crisis, Italy has lost creativity as well as interest in mental health, which has been guiltily neglected. Any future humanitarian approach to mental health must take the Italian experience into account, but must not forget that verification is the basis for any transformation in health care culture.

Evolución y estado del modelo comunitario de atención a la salud mental. Informe SESPAS 2020 / Evolution and status of the community model of mental health care. SESPAS Report 2020

La transición legislativa e ideológica producida en los últimos años en España ha favorecido el desarrollo del modelo comunitario de atención a la salud mental. No obstante, aún persiste una fuerte resistencia a la inclusión de abordajes comunitarios en la atención de las personas con problemas de salud mental y a la implementación de una atención y unos cuidados integrados de enfoque salutogénico. El propósito del siguiente artículo es describir la evolución del modelo comunitario de atención a la salud mental en el sistema nacional de salud español y evaluar su estado actual. Inicialmente se realizó una revisión de los planes y estrategias de salud mental nacional publicados y luego se evaluaron tomando como referencia el Documento de consenso sobre los principios fundamentales y elementos clave de la salud mental comunitaria, que establece los criterios de valoración de la calidad de la atención comunitaria. Ante la falta de planes o estrategias actualizados, se incluyeron informes y recomendaciones internacionales. Los resultados se agruparon en: 1) perspectiva social, en la que se evidencia la controversia sobre la capacidad de las personas usuarias para tomar decisiones a pesar del reconocimiento de sus derechos como agentes morales autónomos; 2) perspectiva de la centralidad de las personas usuarias de los servicios de atención a la salud mental, en la que se plasma la resistencia a la implementación de una atención y unos cuidados comunitarios integrados; y 3) perspectiva profesional en relación con la efectividad de las intervenciones y la red comunitaria de principios de atención, que señala la necesidad de transformar las instituciones para realizar intervenciones comunitarias en salud mental basadas en la evidencia y de manera intersectorial, integral, integrada e integradora

The legislative and ideological transition produced in recent years in Spain has favoured the implementation of the community model of mental health care. However, there is still strong resistance to the inclusion of community approaches in the care of people with mental health problems and to the implementation of integrated care and attention with a salutogenic approach. The purpose of the following report is to describe the evolution of the community model of mental health care in the Spanish National Health System and to assess its current status. Initially, a review of the published national mental health plans and strategies was carried out. Subsequently, the evaluation was carried out taking as reference the Consensus Document on the Fundamental Principles and Key Elements of Community Mental Health, which establishes the criteria for evaluating the quality of community care. In the absence of updated plans or strategies, international reports and recommendations were included. The results were grouped into: 1) social perspective, where the controversy about the capacity of the users to make decisions despite the recognition of their rights as autonomous moral agents is evident; 2) perspective of the centrality of the users of mental health care services, where the resistance to the implementation of integrated community care and attention is expressed; and 3) professional perspective in relation to the effectiveness of the interventions and the community network of care principles, which highlights the need to transform the institutions to carry out community interventions in mental health based on evidence and in an intersectoral, comprehensive, integrated and integrating manner

Mental health literacy: a pillar for the development of healthy communities

An integrated health perspective emphasizes the importance of assessing mental health literacy in different population groups. The level of literacy in Mental Health indicates individual educational needs for maintaining mental balance. Risk and protective factors for mental health are identified, and there is an urgent need to increase community literacy. The article refers to the study that will be carried out to determine and compare mental health literacy in the young and adult popula-tion of the Region. It will have two stages: pilot study and main study. In this paper, we will use the Questionnaire for Evaluation of Literacy in Mental Health - QuALIS-Mental, developed by Jorm et al. in 1997, in the version adapted for Portugal of the National Survey of Mental Literacy in Young People - Interview version by Loureiro et al. in 2012 and the Inventory of Beliefs on Mental Illness - short version, also by Loureiro in 2008. The results will be representative of the population in study, resi-dent in the Region ́s municipalities. The pilot study will cover four groups residing in two municipalities, two aged between 14 and 18 years and two between 19 and 64. It will be a transversal, exploratory and quantitative study, with the collabora-tion of Health Centres nurses. After analysis, the results will be disseminated in the municipal communities, the population and the local entities. It will be considered useful to identify gaps in mental health literacy and to combine synergies using the knowledge gained to improve community mental health planning

Rehabilitación psicosocial y atención comunitaria: algunas consideraciones críticas y una propuesta de guion para el debate / Psychosocial rehabilitation and community care: some critical considerations and a proposal of an outline for discussion

El artículo pretende situar de manera ordenada y sintética distintos aspectos que son objeto de debate profesional en relación con eso que llamamos rehabilitación. Debate que afecta también a nuestra Asociación (y especialmente a su sección de Rehabilitación) y que versa sobre si las distintas «cosas» que incluimos habitualmente bajo esa denominación genérica y supuestamente unitaria constituyen algo separado, diferenciado o integrado en la atención comunitaria, si son de carácter general o especializado, si deben adscribirse al sistema sanitario o a los servicios sociales o si pueden desarrollarse incluso fuera del ámbito estrictamente profesional. Para ello se analizan primero algunos de los factores que parecen condicionar el debate y se enumeran posteriormente los principales aspectos sobre los que versa, tratando de situar los temas lo más objetivamente posible, pero sin renunciar a manifestar explícitamente nuestras opiniones (AU)

This article intends to present in an ordered and synthetic way different aspects that are object of professional debate in relation to what we call rehabilitation. It’s a debate that also concerns our Association (and most specially its Rehabilitation section) and deals with the question whether the different «things» which we use to include under that generic and supposedly unitary denomination constitute something separated, differentiated or integrated in community care, whether they are of a general or specialized character, whether they must be assigned to the health or to the social services systems or whether it can even be developed outside the strictly professional system. With this goal we analyze some of the main factors involved in this debate, trying to situate the topics in an objective manner but without resigning to express our own opinions (AU)

[Social psychiatry and neurobiology : A long overdue convergence exemplified by schizophrenia]. / Sozialpsychiatrie und Neurobiologie : Eine längst fällige Annäherung am Beispiel der Schizophrenie.

BACKGROUND: The proliferation of biological psychiatry has greatly increased over the last two decades. With the possibility to carry out brain research using modern technical methods, it seemed that social influencing factors would lose importance in the development of mental diseases; however, in actual fact this does not seem to be justified. It is necessary to overcome this separation, in that social factors are incorporated into a conceptual framework in the development of mental diseases, which simultaneously also takes the results of current neurobiological research into consideration. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The aims of this review article are to summarize the current state of sociopsychiatric research and to emphasize the perspectives of the biological principles and their validity with respect to the social dimensions of psychiatry, as exemplified by schizophrenic disorders. The article presents the options for a biosocial approach in social psychiatry and gives an overview of the currently available literature. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There is an abundance of neurobiological research approaches, which are closely associated with sociopsychiatric topics, such as social cognition. Social psychiatry and biological psychiatry should no longer be considered as diametrically opposed subdisciplines. On the contrary, the options which could emerge from a synthesis must be used in research and clinical practice.

Developing and implementing a social prescribing initiative in primary care: insights into the possibility of normalisation and sustainability from a UK case study.

Aim To conduct a process-based evaluation of the inception and early implementation of a social prescribing initiative (Healthy Connections Stewartry) in two UK General Practices. BACKGROUND: Prescribing a range of social, cultural, arts and educational activities to clients in primary care (known as 'social prescribing' or 'community linking schemes') as a means of addressing long-term physical health conditions and promoting mental health and well-being is becoming increasingly prominent and popular. However, concerns exist over a lack of evidence of effectiveness and formalised insights into how such initiatives may be optimally implemented. METHODS: Within a case study design and using 1-1 semi-structured interviews, three related data sets were developed over a 12-month period from 30 purposively sampled informants: the project steering group; the wider primary care team; and various community groups. Data analysis drew on various theoretical resources, particularly those pertaining to nurturing sufficient capacity for the organisational 'normalisation' of this practice and understanding the dynamic flows and linkages between potential clients, 'prescribing' primary care staff and the available community resources. Findings The inception and implementation of the initiative had been broadly successful and that more generally, there were grounds to suggest that these practices were becoming 'normalised' into the day-to-day cultures and routines of the primary care organisations. A series of procedural features are considered significant in achieving such ends. Some specific barriers to change are identified and ultimately in the context of potential 'transferability', a wider reflection is undertaken of the potential for such innovative practice to become established in less advantageous organisational circumstances. Fundamental difficulties are recognised and thus the need for formally implemented 'change' processes. Furthermore, for social prescribing to become a pervasive feature of health-care provision, the need for necessary capacity and resources is stressed.

Psychiatrist-determined suitability of patients on long-acting injectable antipsychotics to be discharged from specialist to primary care.

OBJECTIVE: We aim to determine psychiatrists' identified factors associated with suitability of discharging patients on long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAI) from specialist to primary care. METHOD: We undertook a retrospective observational study utilising case file reviews. A questionnaire was developed specifically for this including sociodemographic information, clinical characteristics of the patients and clinical opinion on suitability of discharge to primary care. RESULTS: In total, 72 case files (51 men, 21 women) were included in the study. The most common diagnosis was schizophrenia (71%) and Risperidone was the most often used LAI (71%). Fourteen (19%) of the patients were deemed suitable for discharge to primary care. A minimum period of 1 year of stability, having good cognitive function and insight, and absence of high-risk history were associated with suitability for discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Treating psychiatrists consider only a minority of patients on long-acting injection antipsychotics as suitable for discharge to primary care.

[Deinstitutionalization in Italian psychiatry - the course and consequences Part I. The course of deinstitutionalization - the activity of Basaglia's group]. / Deinstytucjonalizacja psychiatrii wloskiej - przebieg i skutki Czesc I. Przebieg deinstytucjonalizacji - dzialalnosc grupy Basaglii.

Psychiatric reform in Italy consisted of the implementation of legislative changes derived from anti-institutional experiments conducted by Franco Basaglia and his group in the 60's and 70's of the 20th century. The activity of Basaglia's group was an integral part of the European reform movement of that time, which profited from the economic, cultural and political prosperity for changes in psychiatry. Italian antipsychiatry has led to the most radical experiment in deinstitutionalization in history. It involved the whole public sector of psychiatry and across a quarter-century resulted in a grand social debate on the situation of the mentally ill and the need for systemic change of their treatment and care. Inspired mainly by phenomenological analysis, Basaglia opted for close emphatic contact with the mentally ill. While the British, French and American anti-psychiatrists contested the psychiatric care system as such, the Italian radicals made an approach to disassemble it from the inside and successfully gained social support for the process of deinstitutionalization. Basaglia promoted his ideas across Europe, including the World Health Organization (WHO) forum.

[Deinstitutionalization in Italian psychiatry - the course and consequences Part II. The consequences of deinstitutionalization]. / Deinstytucjonalizacja psychiatrii wloskiej - przebieg i skutki Czesc II. Skutki deinstytucjonalizacji.

The Italian mental health care is based on Law 180 (it. Legge 180), also called Legge Basaglia, from the name of the author of the reform, Franco Basaglia. It was adopted on May 13th 1978. The new legislation resulted from the actions of a strong anti-psychiatric movement and it brought about a major change in the organization of psychiatric care. The reform and its consequences were widely studied by the researchers, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The authors point out many successes of the reform, especially in its beginning. They seek the sources of its failure in a faulty and incomplete implementation. Legge Basaglia completely changed the structure of mental health care in Italy, finally bringing psychiatry back to medicine and the general hospitals, as well as promoting community-based psychiatry. Deinstitutionalization in Italy was not related to an increase in compulsory psychiatric hospitalizations, suicide attempts by the mentally ill, nor did it raise the number of crimes committed by them. It also did not cause common trans-institutionalization, with the transfer of patients to the private sector, as predicted by its opponents.

Italian community psychiatry in practice: description and comparison of three regional systems.

The psychiatric reform in 1978 assigned the regions the task of implementing community mental health (MH) services; 30 years on in Italy, there are as many MH systems as there are Italian regions and all completely differentiated. Three Italian regions (Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Campania) in different geographic areas are here chosen as representing three different models of community care implementation as well as certain similarities and differences at a regional level. For each region, the article focuses on MH policy, financing, the network of community health facilities, service provision, MH staff, and the information system.
