Int J Environ Res Public Health

Article Synopsis
- Disordered eating behaviors are prevalent among individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMI) like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, prompting a study to explore factors influencing these eating patterns.
- The study involved 28 semi-structured interviews from participants in Australia, Germany, and Austria, revealing three main themes linked to disordered eating: daily functioning impacts, disrupted physical hunger cues, and emotional hunger.
- Findings suggest that interprofessional strategies addressing daily routines, hunger awareness, and emotional triggers are essential to mitigate disordered eating behaviors in people with SMI.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted people with severe mental illness (SMI) and investigates perceived empowerment (PE) as a potential resilience factor.
- Researchers studied 931 individuals with SMI over six months to understand the pandemic's effects on their daily lives and analyzed the data using mixed effects regression and path models.
- Findings indicate that while many participants faced negative effects, those with higher levels of PE experienced less impact and better overall quality of life, highlighting the need for support systems that enhance PE among this group.
The impact of poor diet quality and nutritional inadequacies on mental health and mental illness has recently gained considerable attention in science. As the opinions and experiences of people living with serious mental illness on dietary issues are unknown, we aimed to understand the role of nutrition in a biopsychosocial approach. In total, 28 semi-structured interviews were conducted with people living with serious mental illness (SMI) in Australia, Germany and Austria, and a generic thematic analysis approach was applied.

A standardized online assessment and subsequent sector-independent treatment coordination could provide individuals with more appropriate services, thereby making better use of individual services and leading to a more effective addiction support system as a whole. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of sector-independent treatment coordination following an online assessment, in comparison with the current standard of care and treatment process in Germany.
