1. Moderated Online Social Therapy (MOST) in early intervention for psychosis services: a pilot randomised controlled study.
PMID:日期:2026-09-25Psychosis is a significant cause of reduced social and occupational function in those aged 18-35 years. This study investigates the feasibility of enhancing currently available Early Intervention for Psychosis (EIP) care using a moderated online intervention comprising therapist-supported online therapeutic interventions and peer-to-peer social mentoring and networking. The Moderated Online Social Therapy (MOST) trial is a feasibility study for a randomised controlled study. Patients attending early intervention for psychosis (EIP) services in Ireland. The trial explores data relevant to establishing the feasibility of delivering MOST to patients enrolled in EIP services and estimation of effect sizes for pre-post measures administered to inform power calculations for a full trial. A total of 35 patients with early psychosis were recruited during the study period, with 17 (48.6%) retained in the study at 6 months. In the intervention arm, 65.4% of participants engaged with MOST for 5 weeks or more but only 15.4% continued to engage at six months. At six months, calculation of effect sizes for pre-post changes indicated small to moderate improvements in social and occupational function, small changes in clinical symptom severity and no changes in cognitive performance. Findings partially supported the feasibility of conducting a trial of MOST in Irish EIP services. Recruitment and study procedures were successfully completed, while retention and sustained engagement suggested that intervention duration, delivery, and positioning within the care pathway may require consideration for further study of this promising intervention in the Irish context.

2. 'The case for a pro-active approach to advance care planning in older person's mental health - insights from interdisciplinary mental healthcare professionals.
PMID:日期:2026-09-24Advance care planning (ACP) involves nuanced conversations to elicit an individual's beliefs, values, and preferences regarding future care. However, despite recognition of the positive impact, representative population surveys indicate low uptake of ACP, figures replicated internationally. Complex medical issues, including cognitive impairment, can interact with and exacerbate mental health challenges in later life, which can make decision-making more complex. ACP and Advance Healthcare Directives support people during periods of incapacitating mental illness. This paper reporting on the first stage of an action research study exploring ACP from the perspective of interdisciplinary mental healthcare professionals in the context of Older Person's Mental Health, took place in the dawn of the Assisted Decision-Making Capacity Act (2015), which has considerable implications for practice. The first action research stage consisted of three sub-stages combining quantitative and qualitative methods, with the findings of each sub-stage iteratively informing the development of the next. The results of the study indicate that whilst overall ACP is largely viewed as positive by healthcare professionals, confidence, and experience levels vary in practice, with a strong desire for additional specific training and tools to support ACP engagement indicated. The study also revealed facilitators and barriers to ACP; and addressing existential anxiety, giving voice, person-centred approach, and push and pull factor themes. This study highlights some important implications for person-centred practice centring on the need to balance an active stance to ACP whilst also respecting the right not to engage for varying psychological and emotional reasons.

3. Mental health and substance use in Europe: initial steps towards a common European approach.
PMID:日期:2026-09-22Comorbid substance use and other mental health disorders contribute to more than one million years lived with disability in Europe according to the Global Burden of Disease study. They require a comprehensive approach, yet, in Europe, there is considerable variability in the treatment of these patients. The European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) is committed to address comorbidity in Europe by providing evidence of epidemiological situation and approaches to interventions and supporting a common European approach. The methods used to support the promotion of a European approach to comorbidity were the following: a) setting up an EUDA Advisory Board on dual disorders, consisting of international experts guiding and overseeing the EUDA efforts in this field, b) the introduction of a voluntary item on dual disorders in the European data collection on people entering drug treatment (Treatment Demand Indicator (TDI) and c) a survey mapping existing care models in Europe was conducted.

5. An exploration of the utility of the modified Angoff standard-setting method for multiple-choice examinations in determining the "just good enough" undergraduate medical student in psychiatry.
PMID:日期:2026-09-16Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are widely used in medical education, with the Angoff standard-setting method frequently used to determine competence. However, minimal research has determined the accuracy of item-level Angoff scores in predicting the actual performance of borderline-pass students. This retrospective study analysed five years (2019-2023) of psychiatry MCQ data (350 questions) from 191 fourth-year borderline-pass undergraduate medical students (scoring 45-55% in their psychiatry module MCQ) at the University of Galway. Angoff-derived cut scores were compared with actual student scores across clinical and knowledge-based questions, diagnostic categories, and content domains. Angoff (mean = 53.0%) and actual student scores (mean = 54.2%) showed minimal overall difference and were moderately correlated ( = 0.57, < 0.001). However, questions where clinical scenarios were presented were underestimated (-6.2%), and knowledge-based questions overestimated (+2.9%) by standard-setters. Question difficulty was not a significant predictor of score differences. Lower discrimination scores predicted standard setter marks being higher than student marks for knowledge-based (B = -31.96, β = -0.19, = 2.61, = 0.01) questions. Modified Angoff scores generally do predict group-level "borderline-pass" students' performance adequately, however their accuracy varies by question type, content area and psychometric property. Further standard-setter training, and inclusion of more diverse specialist input may improve standard-setting accuracy across less familiar domains.

7. Dual diagnosis and drug-related deaths (2019-2021): an Irish perspective.
7. 双重诊断和与毒品有关的死亡（2019-2021年）：爱尔兰的观点PMID:日期:2026-09-04In Ireland, data on dual diagnosis (DD) is limited. This study aims to describe the characteristics of deaths among people who both used drugs and had a mental health (MH) condition to better understand DD and to help improve the provision of DD services in Ireland. Data from the National Drug-Related Deaths Index (NDRDI) was used to identify deaths among people who used drugs and had history of at least one MH condition. Sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors, substance use, MH conditions, and type and cause of death, stratified by sex, were analysed descriptively. Variance by MH condition was examined using cross tabulation. Between 2019 and 2021, 567 deaths met the inclusion criteria. The majority (67.9%) were men. The mean age was 42 years. The most common drugs used were cocaine (47.6%), heroin (37.4%) and cannabis (36.3%). The most common MH conditions were depressive disorders (52.7%), anxiety disorders (36.7%) and specific personality disorders (16.6%). Misadventure (46.6%) and suicide (27.2%) were the most frequent verdicts recorded. Almost equal proportions of deaths were poisonings (48.9%) and non-poisonings (51.1%). Most poisoning deaths involved an opioid-type drug and/or polysubstances (83.8%). The NDRDI data enables in-depth description of those who died with DD in Ireland. While it does not provide comparisons with those who survived, given the limited amount of research in this area in Ireland, the data contributes valuable insights into the issue.

8. Burnout, depressive, and somatic symptoms in Gaelic Games athletes: the mediating role of resilience.
PMID:日期:2026-08-10Athletes often experience high rates of burnout, which has known links to depressive/somatic symptoms. However, little is known of the role that resilience plays in shaping these outcomes. The study aimed to examine the mediating role of resilience (personal and relational) in the relationship between burnout (emotional and physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, sport devaluation) and depressive/somatic symptoms in Gaelic Games athletes. Participants ( = 225), were invited to an online survey, where they responded to a series of self-report measures and demographic questions. Structural equation modelling was employed to examine the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between burnout and depressive/somatic symptoms. Findings indicate that interventions promoting relational resilience, such as peer-support initiatives, may protect against the impact of emotional/physical exhaustion on depressive symptoms. However, strategies aimed at developing personal resilience, such as psychological skills training, may reduce the impact of a reduced sense of accomplishment on somatic symptoms.

9. "Speaking through crisis": experiences of suicidal ideation and emergency care help-seeking among Irish Traveller women.
PMID:日期:2026-08-10Women from ethnic minorities experience disproportionately high rates of self-harm and suicide. In Ireland, Irish Travellers have an indigenous presence on the island dating back centuries. Although Traveller women are known to be at increased suicide risk, little is understood about their experiences with healthcare during suicidal crisis. This study sought to explore how Traveller women make sense of their experiences when presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in suicidal crisis, and how they perceive their interactions with clinicians. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed to capture culturally specific meaning-making around a highly sensitive topic. Two Traveller women were purposively sampled from a deliberately homogeneous subgroup. Each case was analysed independently, followed by a cautious cross-case synthesis to identify shared experiential themes. Two central themes emerged: (1) " captured the women's attempts to understand their actions, the overwhelming emotional pain they endured, and the internal struggle between life and death. (2) reflected a profound loss of autonomy, with participants feeling controlled and monitored during their care. While some clinicians demonstrated empathy and provided support, others offered limited engagement, leaving participants feeling isolated and frustrated. While idiographic in scope (two cases), the study reflects well-recognised challenges recruiting from acute hospital settings and the impact of limited culturally safe services for Traveller communities. Findings underscore the importance of lived experience-informed, culturally safe, person-centred approaches that recognise the distinct challenges faced by Traveller women during suicidal crisis.

10. Domestic violence and abuse-related suicide: evidence from six years of Irish coronial data.
PMID:日期:2026-08-10Suicide and domestic violence and abuse (DVA) represents a critical yet underexplored intersection of public health and social justice in Ireland. This study investigated the prevalence, circumstances, and risk factors associated with suicides with a recorded link to DVA drawing on coronial data from the Irish Probable Suicide Deaths Study (IPSDS 2015-2020). All cases in the IPSDS ( = 3,622) were screened for documented domestic violence or related indicators. For selected cases, relevant demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and service-contact information was extracted and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Composite narratives were developed to synthesise recurrent patterns and present a "storied account" of the combined experiences across cases. Fifteen DVA-related suicide cases were identified; all were female. Thus, over the six-year period, 1.7% of suicides among adult women (≥18 years, = 873) in Ireland were recorded as DVA-related. Multiple adverse experiences were identified among the women including mental health difficulties, substance misuse, physical health conditions, chronic pain, and unemployment. Together, these findings underscore the complexity of suicide prevention in this context. Composite narratives further illustrate how contextual and relational factors interact to shape suicide risk among women with experiences of DVA. Overlapping vulnerabilities and risk factors for women who die by DVA-related suicide present challenges for how "domestic violence" is identified and recorded in coronial records. Recommendations for service provision and the coronial system are discussed.
