Mental health problems are under recognised and under treated in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
A nurse-led project linking MS and mental health services was evaluated. Data on all referrals and management from 2006 to 2008 were collected prospectively.
127 referrals were received. 82% had depression, 53% had anxiety (45% both). 42% were offered case management; 52% received Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), 55% required initiation or alteration of psychiatric medications and 19% were referred to secondary care; 16% had made suicidal plans. Significant improvements in depression at 6months occurred, but not anxiety or fatigue.
This service provides a model of mental health provision for patients with long term neurological conditions, in particular MS.
多发性硬化症(MS)患者的心理健康问题未得到充分认识和治疗。
评估了一项由护士主导的将 MS 与心理健康服务联系起来的项目。前瞻性地收集了 2006 年至 2008 年的所有转诊和管理数据。
共收到 127 份转诊申请。82%的患者患有抑郁症,53%的患者患有焦虑症(45%两者兼有)。42%的患者接受了个案管理;52%的患者接受了认知行为疗法(CBT),55%的患者需要开始或改变精神科药物治疗,19%的患者转至二级保健;16%的患者有自杀计划。抑郁在 6 个月时显著改善,但焦虑和疲劳没有改善。
该服务为长期神经系统疾病(特别是 MS)患者提供了心理健康服务模式。
