An evaluation of a tailored care program for complex and persistent mental health problems: Partners in Recovery program
Open accessAbstract
Partners in Recovery (PIR) is a nation-wide Australian program designed to improve coordinated care for people with severe and persistent mental health problems. This study evaluated PIR's effectiveness for individual and system-level outcomes. A total of 25 PIR participants (male = 7, female = 15, not stated = 3) provided data for the evaluation of the program across six community mental health service providers in Canberra, Australia. Individual-level measures included quality of life, social inclusion, and perceptions of recovery. System-level individual measures included confidence in the health system, perceptions of organisation of care, and network analyses. Global single-item scores were measured at baseline (retrospectively), midpoint, and endpoint. Scaled scores for quality of life and social inclusion were measured at midpoint and endpoint only. Multi-level fixed effect models demonstrated significant improvements in global quality of life (p = .008), social inclusion (p = .025), perceptions of recovery (p < .001), and confidence in the health system (p = .013) from baseline to endpoint. Mean scaled scores did not improve from midpoint to endpoint. Two network analyses demonstrated the central role of the support facilitator. This study provides preliminary evidence for increasing quality of life, level of social inclusion, and perceptions of recovery for people with severe mental illness and complex needs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
