Objective: There are few tools capable of measuring the personal recovery of individuals presenting with mental disorders that take into account the various dimensions of recovery. Personal recovery encompasses several objectives at the level of autonomy, positive interpersonal relationships, mental and physical health, self-acceptance, the school/professional domain, as well as developing a life project. A team of practitioners and researchers from four countries (Canada, Belgium, France, and Switzerland) adapted the Client Assessment of Strengths, Interests, and Goals (CASIG) tool to more accurately measure these different aspects of personal recovery.

Practical pathway for the management of depression in the workplace: a Canadian perspective.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and other mental health issues pose a substantial burden on the workforce. Approximately half a million Canadians will not be at work in any week because of a mental health disorder, and more than twice that number will work at a reduced level of productivity (presenteeism). Although it is important to determine whether work plays a role in a mental health condition, at initial presentation, patients should be diagnosed and treated per appropriate clinical guidelines.

[Design and logic model of the BIWI intervention on work reintegration of people with borderline personality disorder].

Recognition During the Return-to-Work Process in Workers with Common Mental Disorders.

Purpose Considering worker's perspective, the purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to document the meaning of the experience of recognition in the return to work (RTW) process of work after a sick leave due to a common mental disorder (CMD) and (2) to investigate the phenomenon of recognition for workers in the process of RTW after a sick leave due to a CMD, by evaluating the presence or absence of marks of recognition from salient RTW stakeholders stemming from different systems. Methods The Relational Caring Inquiry phenomenological method was used to explore the meaning of recognition during the return-to-work process and marks of recognition in a group of 20 workers who returned to their employment after a sick leave due to a CMD. In depth individual interviews were conducted with each participant.

Adaptation and validation of the cardiovascular version of the Return-to-Work Obstacles and Self-Efficacy Scale (ROSES-CVD) to the Italian context.

Purpose: Effective cardiac rehabilitation interventions must provide adequate support to overcome psychosocial return-to-work (RTW) barriers. No validated instrument is available for this aim for cardiovascular patients. The Return-to-work Obstacles and Self-Efficacy Scale (ROSES) measures RTW obstacles workers perceive and the self-efficacy for overcoming them through 46 items and ten dimensions.

Metacognitive mastery moderates the relationship between positive symptoms and distress in adults with serious mental illness.

Background: Research supports the possibility that a person's metacognitive ability may influence the impact of positive symptoms. This connection is important because understanding how metacognitive capacity relates to positive symptoms and distress can guide treatment and bolster recovery.

Aims: To explore this, we assessed the moderating role of Metacognitive Mastery on the relationship of positive symptoms to affective symptoms, or markers of distress, measured both concurrently and at a later time point (to assess durability of metacognition) with persons with serious mental illness.

Total Metacognitive Capacity Predicts Competitive Employment Acquisition Across 6 Months in Adults With Serious Mental Illness Receiving Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services.

Deficits in metacognitive capacity are common among people with serious mental illness (SMI), although there is a gap in knowledge regarding how these impairments predict later functioning, especially employment. This study aimed to prospectively examine the relationship between metacognitive capacity and 6-month competitive employment attainment in adults with SMI who were participating in a study testing a cognitive behavioral therapy intervention added to supported employment services. Sixty-seven participants with complete data at baseline and the 6-month follow-up comprised the sample.

Workplace Factors, Burnout Signs, and Clinical Mental Health Symptoms among Mental Health Workers in Lombardy and Quebec during the First Wave of COVID-19.

Several research contributions have depicted the impact of the pandemic environment on healthcare and social care personnel. Even though the high prevalence of burnout depression and anxiety in healthcare settings before COVID-19 has been well documented in the research, the recent increase in psychological distress and mental health issues in healthcare and mental health workers should be attributed to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the present study is to develop, evaluate, and compare a model of COVID-19 workplace stressors between two different territories, the Italian region of Lombardy and the Canadian province of Quebec.

Disclosure dilemmas: how people with a mental health condition perceive and manage disclosure at work.
