CONCLUSION: In general, self-efficacy and external locus of control have a significant influence on the tendency of severe nomophobia with weak relationship strength.

Outdoor mental healthcare: What, who, why and where to?
Conclusions: Outdoor mental healthcare spans a range of therapies that apply a variety of theoretical approaches and treatments across a multiplicity of settings, patient groups and desired outcomes unified by key evidence-informed practice elements. Through use of a predominantly non-mainstream workforce working in non-conventional clinical settings outdoor mental healthcare may contribute to treatment accessibility and acceptability.PMID:37970826 | DOI:10.1177/10398562231211110 (Source: Australasian Psychiatry)

Effective management of patients with borderline personality disorder in a busy acute inpatient ward using dialectical behaviour therapy principles
CONCLUSIONS: The inpatient environment is often a place where invalidating experiences can occur. These include feeling ignored, misunderstood and where private experiences are trivialised or denied. Patients with BPD are extremely sensitive to these experiences and are likely to decompensate if strategies are not in place to facilitate a more validating experience during admission. The proposed guidelines are feasible to implement and support a cohesive treatment team and collaborative patient-centred care which is likely to improve patient outcomes.PMID:37965756 | DOI:10.1177/10398562231209822 (Source: Australasian Psychiatry)

The socio-demographics and clinical profile of patients referred to the GP liaison psychiatry service within a metropolitan Aboriginal medical service
CONCLUSION: The high non-attendance rates, and proportionately more males within the age group 45-54 years who were more likely to not attend their mental health appointments, suggested a target area for outreach services which have been implemented in the AMS. Some of the recommended solutions included confirming attendance the day prior and supporting with transport. This study highlighted the large distance that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must travel to access culturally appropriate service.PMID:37967815 | DOI:10.1177/10398562231214130 (Source: Australasian Psychiatry)
