Decisions regarding type of supported accommodation required and level of support to meet individual’s needs are crucial for continuing rehabilitation and recovery following admission to hospital. This study aimed to identify personal and contextual predictive factors for (1) discharge from hospital to different levels of supported accommodation and (2) self-directed support needs of individuals with serious mental illness once they are in supported accommodation in Scotland. Method: Linked data from the Scottish Morbidity Record – Scottish Mental Health and Inpatient Day Case Section and the Scottish Government Social Care Survey were analysed using multinomial regression and multivariable logistic regression to identify personal and contextual factors associated with accommodation destination at the time of discharge and four self-directed support needs: personal care; domestic care; healthcare; social, educational and recreational. Results: Personal factors (age and having a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizotypal or delusional disorder) were associated with individuals moving to supported accommodation with higher levels of support. One contextual factor, compulsory detention when admitted to hospital, decreased the likelihood of moving to any type of supported accommodation. The personal and contextual factors associated with identified self-directed support needs varied by need. Support provided by the local authority was associated with all self-directed support needs, with having a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizotypal or delusional disorder associated with identifying domestic care, healthcare and social, educational and recreational needs, while living in the most deprived areas was associated with identifying healthcare needs. Advancing age and being compulsorily detained decreased the likelihood of identifying a social, educational and recreational needs. Conclusion: The study highlights that older men with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizotypal or delusional disorder require higher levels of support upon discharge from hospital. When living in supported accommodation having this diagnosis increases the likelihood of identifying support with looking after the home, looking after their health and social and recreational activities, however being older decreases the likelihood of identifying support with social and recreational activities.Item Chapter 22: Applying the Model of Human Occupation to Individuals With Mental Health Conditions(Wolters Kluwer, 2024) Melton, Jane C.; Harding, Becky; Cooper, John R.; Allen, Susan; Reed, Melissa; Forsyth, Kirsty; Prior, Susan; Maciver, Donald; Harrison, Michele; Raber, Christine; Quick, LauraItem Establishing the measurement properties of the Residential Environment Impact Scale (Version 4.0)(Taylor & Francis, 2022-12-09) Harrison, Michele; Forsyth, Kirsty; Murray, Aja Louise; Angarola, Rocco; Henderson, Shona; Fitzpatrick, Linda Irvine; Fisher, GailBackground Developed as an environment assessment informed by the Model of Human Occupation, the Residential Environment Impact Survey considered the physical, social and activity features of the environment, evaluating the impact of the environment on resident’s quality of life. Clinicians reported that the Residential Environment Impact Survey was a useful tool; however, it had not been structured to be a measurement tool and did not have established psychometric properties. Aims/objectives This study examines the psychometric properties of the restructured Residential Environment Impact Scale Version 4.0 (REIS), which measures the level of environment support provided to residents. Material and methods The REIS was completed across residential sites for people with complex mental health needs. A many facets Rasch analysis was conducted to establish the reliability and validity of the REIS. Results The REIS demonstrated reasonable psychometric properties, with items demonstrating internal scale validity and scale items following an expected pattern of increasingly challenging environment support. Conclusions and significance Initial evidence suggests that the REIS provides a valid and reliable measure of environment support, providing a detailed assessment of how physical, social and activity elements of the environment support or inhibit participation and can be applied across a range of living environments.Item The level of formal support received by people with severe mental illness living in supported accommodation and participation: A systematic review(SAGE, 2021-01-25) Jose, Akkara Lionel; Harrison, Michele; Singh Roy, Anusua; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Forsyth, KirstyAim: The review aimed to identify and explore the association of level of support received by people with severe mental illness in supported accommodation and participation.Item Quality of life outcomes for people with serious mental illness living in supported accommodation: Systematic review and meta-analysis(Springer, 2020-05-24) Harrison, Michele; Singh Roy, Anusua; Hultqvist, Jenny; Pan, Ay-Woan; McCartney, Deborah; McGuire, Nicola; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Forsyth, KirstyPurpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes for people with serious mental illness living in three types of supported accommodation.Item Defining the environment to support occupational therapy intervention in mental health practice(SAGE, 2015-05-01) Harrison, Michele; Angarola, Rocco; Forsyth, Kirsty; Irvine, LindaMore than 450 million people have been estimated to have mental health disorders worldwide with many more experiencing mental health challenges, according to the World Health Organization. People with mental health challenges can find their environments not supportive of their engagement in meaningful daily activities of self-care, work and leisure. While occupational therapists value having an understanding of how the environment impacts on a person's occupational participation, it has been argued that the concept has been poorly defined. The Model of Human Occupation provides a clinically useful definition of the environment. Moreover, the Model of Human Occupation provides clinical assessments and outcome measures that measure how the environment facilitates occupational participation. The Author(s) 2015.
