Virkningen av VVV-gruppen for veteraner med SMI (VVV)

28. april 2026 oppdatert av: VA Office of Research and Development

Effekten av veteranstemmer og visjoner kollegastøttegrupper på sosial integrering for veteraner med SMI/psykose

Veteraner med alvorlig psykisk lidelse (SMI) sliter med sosial integrering – deltakelse i arbeid, bolig og statsborgerskap – på grunn av symptomer, stigma og psykososiale utfordringer. Til tross for betydelig VA-innsats for å gi mental helsehjelp til veteraner med SMI, mangler programmer som fremmer sosial integrering. Veteraner med SMI har spesielt høy risiko for dårlig sosial integrering og selvmordstanker under COVID-19-pandemien. Dette prosjektet løser dette behovet med en gruppebasert, peer spesialist (PS) co-fasiliteret psykososial intervensjon for veteraner med SMI, kalt "Veteran Voices and Visions" (VVV). VVV retter seg mot veteraner med SMI som opplever psykose, en gruppe som spesielt trenger støtte med sosial integrering. Virtuelle VVV-grupper ledes sammen av VA mental helse klinikere (MHCs) og PSs via online videokonferanse. Tilnærmingen letter gruppesamhold rundt og normalisering av de vanlige psykotiske symptomene på SMI: hallusinasjoner, vrangforestillinger og sosial isolasjon. Denne intervensjonen har potensialet til å skape og fremme et støttende fellesskap som forbedrer den sosiale integreringen av deltakerne ved å redusere deres nød og selvstigma, og øke selveffektiviteten.

Planlegger du å dele individuelle deltakerdata (IPD)?

JA

IPD-planbeskrivelse

PI vil lage avidentifiserte, studiespesifikke datasett som inkluderer alle variabler i en publikasjon. Noe tap av informasjon kan oppstå gitt behovet for å fjerne PHI. PI vil erstatte person- og legestasjonsnummer med studiespesifikke nummer. PI vil droppe fødselsdato og erstatte alder med alderskategorier, i samsvar med PHI-krav for personer 85 år og eldre. Datoer for tjenesten vil bli erstattet med årsdummi.

IPD-delingstidsramme

Datasett som oppfyller VA-standarder for offentliggjøring til offentligheten vil bli gjort tilgjengelig innen 1 år etter publisering.

Tilgangskriterier for IPD-deling

Før distribusjon vil en lokal personvernansvarlig bekrefte at alle datasett ikke inneholder noen PHI. Endelige datasett vil bli opprettholdt lokalt inntil ressurser på bedriftsnivå blir tilgjengelige for langsiktig lagring og tilgang. Veiledning om forespørsel og distribusjonsprosesser vil bli gitt av ORD. De som ber om data vil bli bedt om å signere et avtalebrev.
