[Editorials] CPD and recertification: improving patient outcomes through focused learning
Bamrah, J. S., Bhugra, D. Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0000
The impending regulatory changes for all medical professionals in the UK will make it necessary for doctors to be relicensed and, in the case of specialists, to be recertified. This editorial argues strongly in favour of recertification and proposes that continuing professional development is one of the main planks on which recertification of psychiatrists should be based. We present cogent reasons for this, as well as evidence that improved learning contributes positively to healthcare. We also recommend that psychiatrists should make learning objectives more clinically focused as well as properly resourced.
[Articles] Coping with a coroner's inquest: a psychiatrist's guide
John-Smith, P. S., Michael, A., Davies, T. Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0000
During the period 2000–2004 the average annual suicide rate in England and Wales was 10.2 deaths per 100 000 population over 10 years of age. About a quarter of those who take their own lives are in contact with mental health services in the year before their death. This means that an average in-patient, sector or community psychiatrist is likely to experience the death of at least one patient by suicide in most years. Suicides by patients cause considerable distress for the psychiatrist that is unlikely to resolve until after the coroner’s hearing. This article discusses suicide prevention and provides guidance for psychiatrists on preparing for a coroner’s inquest following a patient’s death that may have been by suicide.

[RESEARCH ARTICLES] Increasing Interest in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in the Third-Year Clerkship: Results from a Post-Clerkship Survey
Malloy, E., Hollar, D., Lindsey, B. A. Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0000
OBJECTIVE: The authors aimed to determine whether a structured clinical experience in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) during the third-year psychiatry clerkship would impact interest in pursuing careers in psychiatry and CAP. METHODS: The authors constructed and administered a postrotation survey, the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Experiences Questionnaire (CAPE-Q), to evaluate clinical experiences and career interest in psychiatry and CAP both before and after a clerkship in psychiatry. The value of specific aspects of the clerkship to students’ career decisions was also assessed. The students completed the surveys at the end of their psychiatry clerkship in the 2005–2006 academic year and in their first rotation of 2006–2007. RESULTS: Of the 98 respondents, the majority reported no change in interest in general psychiatry or in CAP after the clerkship. However, exposure to inpatient CAP correlated with increased interest in the field and in its influence on pursuing a CAP career. Interest in CAP positively correlated with agreement that the CAP clinical experience influenced their career decision. The influence of the CAP clinical experience on career decision was associated with interest in both psychiatry and CAP, as well as with change in CAP interest after the clerkship. CONCLUSION: These preliminary results suggest that the CAPE-Q may be useful for assessing students’ clerkship experiences and the impact of these experiences on their decision to pursue a career in child psychiatry. Here, inpatient CAP experience led to increased interest in the field. The CAPE-Q could be used to identify students for whom electives and mentoring opportunities could be arranged. It could also be used in assessment of clerkship experiences.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder traits and personality dimensions in parents of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Calvo R, Lázaro L, Castro-Fornieles J, Font E, Moreno E, Toro J Related Articles Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder traits and personality dimensions in parents of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Eur Psychiatry. 2008 Dec 30; Authors: Calvo R, Lázaro L, Castro-Fornieles J, Font E, Moreno E, Toro J PURPOSE: To compare patterns of temperament and character and the prevalence of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) and OCPD traits in parents of children with OCD and parents of healthy controls. METHODS: TCI and SCID-II were administered to 63 parents of 32 children with OCD and 63 parents of age- and sex-matched controls with no psychiatric diagnosis. Interviewers were not blind to proband status. Personality dimension scores and frequencies of OCPD criteria in both groups were compared after excluding parents with a diagnosis of OCD. Relationships between TCI dimensions and OCPD symptoms in parents and the clinical characteristics of OCD children were also studied. RESULTS: Parents of OCD children presented significantly higher scores in harm avoidance and lower scores in self-directedness, cooperativeness and reward dependence than parents of healthy children. A higher incidence of OCPD was found in parents of probands (p<0.02). Hoarding, perfectionism and preoccupation with details were significantly more frequent in parents of OCD children. Counting, ordering and cleaning compulsions in OCD children predicted elevated odds of perfectionism and rigidity in their parents. CONCLUSIONS: The existence of the dimensional personality profile associated with OCD in parents of children with OCD and the higher number of OCPD criteria in these parents in comparison to parents of healthy children highlight the importance of the role of personality factors in familial OCD.

Belgian Schizophrenia Outcome Survey - Results of a 2-year naturalistic study in patients stabilised on monotherapy with olanzapine, risperidone or haloperidol.
Peuskens J, Gillain B, De Graeve D, Van Vleymen B, Albert A Related Articles Belgian Schizophrenia Outcome Survey - Results of a 2-year naturalistic study in patients stabilised on monotherapy with olanzapine, risperidone or haloperidol. Eur Psychiatry. 2008 Dec 30; Authors: Peuskens J, Gillain B, De Graeve D, Van Vleymen B, Albert A This Schizophrenia Outcome Survey compared medical costs, psychopathology and adverse events in outpatients for 2years following hospitalisation for an acute schizophrenic episode. Adults stabilised with haloperidol, olanzapine or risperidone entered this observational study </=1month after discharge and were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24months using Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), Global Assessment of Functioning and adverse events reporting. Among 323 patients (haloperidol 32, olanzapine 149, risperidone 142), baseline characteristics were similar in the olanzapine and risperidone groups, except for more first episodes in the risperidone group (p=0.01). Haloperidol patients were more often single and institutionalised, less educated, had more residual schizophrenia, were longer hospitalised in the previous year, took more corrective and psychotropic drugs and had more extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and gynaecomastia (all significantly). Sixty-eight percent of patients completed a 2-year follow-up. In all groups, CGI and GAF improved during the first 3months (both p<0.0001) while BPRS deteriorated in the first year (all within group changes p<0.05, between group changes NS) before it stabilised. There were no significant differences in hospitalisations and no change in social profile. At the last visit, 66% of haloperidol (p<0.01), 35% of olanzapine (NS) and 39% (NS) of risperidone patients had >/=1 EPS; 69% (p<0.013), 40 and 44%, respectively, had >/=1 sexual problem (NS). Mean weight gain was 0.4 (NS), 2.6 (p<0.05) and 2.6kg (p<0.05), respectively. In this naturalistic study, treatment allocation might have introduced a bias in the interpretation of efficiency results, but olanzapine and risperidone caused less EPS than haloperidol during 2years of outpatient follow-up.
