Young People and Illness Management and Recovery (IMR)
Young People's Experiences of Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) - an Explorative Study
The study is a combined clinical patient outcome study and a health-services research sub-study. Illness management and recovery (IMR) constitutes an evidence-based practice with 11 modules focusing on personal recovery developed for adults with severe mental health illnesses. IMR can be offered in groups or individually, once a week for 10-12 months.
Little is known about how young people experience the utility of IMR treatment groups in child and adolescent mental health outpatient clinics. The primary aim is to explore in-depth how the participants experience the utility of the IMR approach. The health research sub-study will provide new insights into the IMR implementation process in outpatient clinics for adolescents.

Detaljert beskrivelse
IMR has previously been implemented for adolescents in an inpatient unit in the hospital's catchment area. In order to offer the same treatment to all young patients, IMR treatment groups will be established in 4 out of 7 outpatient clinics in the hospital's catchment area. Participants belonging to the clinics in which no IMR treatment groups are being established will be invited to participate in IMR groups in clinics nearby.
The primary aim is to gain new insight into how young people experience the utility of IMR treatment groups conducted in outpatient practices and, if relevant, which changes could be made to adapt IMR more to young people. To explore how the participants experience the utility of IMR treatment groups, a qualitative focus-group study, consisting of a maximum of 5 focus-group interviews will be conducted. The participants in each IMR treatment group will be offered treatment once a week up to 10-12 months. To establish an IMR treatment group a minimum of 4 patients and a maximum of 8 participants must participate. Participants are mainly being included in the IMR treatment groups at the two primary admissions to each treatment group. Thus, some of the participants in the focus-groups may have participated in IMR groups for less than 10-12 months.
Secondary outcomes are related to fidelity to the model and the extent to which IMR treatment groups are implemented at an organizational level. The treatment groups will be led by trained IMR-therapists employed in inpatient units, together with therapists in training who are employed in outpatient clinics. Leaders and other clinicians in the outpatient clinics will contribute knowledge about the extent to which core components of IMR are being implemented, as well as information relating to quality improvement and individual adjustment. Two of the out-patient clinics in which no IMR group is being established will be included in the sub-study. The clinics will receive written feedback after each measurement time to support quality improvement.
The goal is to include up to 48 participants receiving IMR treatment in outpatient clinics. Up to 8 hospitalized participants will participate in a pilot focus-group interview. In the sub-study, a maximum of 16 IMR therapists, trained and in training, and up to 24 staff members will be invited to participate.
