As demand for intensive case management services continues to outpace supply, community mental health agencies in Toronto, Ontario, introduced Short-Term Case Management (STCM).
This study sought to explore case managers' perspectives and experiences with this new service delivery model.
Focus groups were conducted with twenty-one case managers, and transcripts analyzed using thematic analysis.
Emerging themes suggest that despite embracing a recovery approach, case managers expressed mixed views on the acceptability and appropriateness of this service delivery model as an intervention.
The ideal population for this intervention are adults with mental health issues in need of system navigation, and those motivated to address their goals. Further research is needed to establish fidelity criteria.
由于对强化个案管理服务的需求持续超过供给,安大略省多伦多市的社区心理健康机构引入了短期个案管理(STCM)。
本研究旨在探讨个案管理者对这种新服务提供模式的看法和经验。
与21名个案管理者进行了焦点小组访谈,并使用主题分析法对访谈记录进行了分析。
新出现的主题表明,尽管采用了康复方法,但个案管理者对这种服务提供模式作为一种干预措施的可接受性和适当性表达了不同的看法。
这种干预措施的理想人群是有心理健康问题、需要系统引导且有动力实现自身目标的成年人。需要进一步研究以确定保真度标准。
