“…Despite the existence of guidelines, the literature indicates that smoking cessation care is not routinely provided to smokers with a mental illness in inpatient (Prochaska et al, 2004;Wye et al, 2010a) or community (Anderson et al, 2013;Bartlem et al, 2015;Bartlem et al, 2014) mental health services and smoking cessation supports such as Quitline referral and nicotine replacement therapy are not routinely provided (Anderson et al, 2013;Bartlem et al, 2015;Bartlem et al, 2014). In GP, suboptimal smoking cessation care has been reported to be provided to both general and mental health patients (Holmberg et al, 2014;Lord et al, 2010;McKayBrown et al, 2008).…”

“…The delivery of smoking cessation care to people with a mental illness is consistently reported to be suboptimal in inpatient facilities (Prochaska, Gill, & Hall, 2004;Stockings et al, 2015;Wye et al, 2010a), community mental health services (Bartlem et al, 2014;Greening, 2005), and by GPs (Lord, Malone, & Mitchell, 2010;McKay-Brown et al, 2008). For example, a survey of 97 smokers in an Australian inpatient psychiatric facility with a smoke-free policy identified that only 36.1% received brief advice to quit smoking and just 19.8% received brief advice and optimal nicotine replacement therapy .…”

Smoking Cessation Care for People with a Mental Illness: Family Carer Expectations of Health and Community Services

et al. 2016

Introduction: Smoking prevalence remains high among people with a mental illness, contributing to higher levels of morbidity and mortality. Health and community services are an opportune setting for the provision of smoking cessation care. Although family carers are acknowledged to play a critical role in supporting the care and assistance provided by such services to people with a mental illness, their expectations regarding the delivery of smoking cessation care have not been examined.Aims: To explore family carer expectations of smoking cessation care provision by four types of health services, to clients with a mental illness, and factors associated with expectations.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with carers of a person with a mental illness residing in New South Wales, Australia. Carers were surveyed regarding their expectations of smoking cessation care provision from four types of health services. Possible associations between carer expectation of smoking cessation care provision and socio-demographic and attitudinal variables were explored.Results: Of 144 carers, the majority of carers considered that smoking cessation care should be provided by: mental health hospitals (71.4%), community mental health services (78.0%), general practice (82.7%), and non-government organisations (56.6%). The factor most consistently related to expectation of care was a belief that smoking cessation could positively impact mental health.Conclusions: The majority of carers expected smoking cessation treatment to be provided by all services catering for people with a mental illness, reinforcing the appropriateness for such services to provide smoking cessation care for clients in an effective and systematic manner.

“…16,17 Mental health patients have an increased rate of morbidity and mortality. 18 For example, mental health conditions have been associated with lower mammography rates, [18][19][20] pap smears, 21,22 and cholesterol testing. 22 This could suggest mental health conditions as a potential barrier to CRC screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours related to long-term health goals or larger emphasis put on the management of the mental health condition compared to seeking preventive healthcare.…”

Background: While colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most preventable causes of cancer mortality, it is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Canada where CRC screening uptake is suboptimal. Given the increased rate of mortality and morbidity among mental health patients, their condition could be a potential barrier to CRC screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours related to long-term health goals. Using a population-based study among Canadians, we hypothesize that self-perceived mental health (SPMH) status and fecal occult blood test (FOBT) uptake for the screening of CRC are associated. Methods:The current study is cross-sectional and utilised data from the Canadian Community Health Survey 2011-2012. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was undertaken to assess whether SPMH is independently associated with FOBT uptake among a representative sample of 11 386 respondents aged 50-74 years. Results: Nearly half of the respondents reported having ever had FOBT for CRC screening, including 37.28% who have been screened within two years of the survey and 12.41% who had been screened more than two years preceding the survey. Respondents who reported excellent mental health were more likely to have ever been screened two years or more before the survey (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.08; 95% CI, 1.00-4.43) and to have been screened in the last two years preceding the survey (AOR = 1.53; 95% CI, 0.86-2.71) than those reported poor mental health status. Conclusion: This study supports the association between SPMH status and FOBT uptake for CRC screening. While the efforts to maximize CRC screening uptake should be deployed to all eligible people, those with poor mental health may need more attention.

“…Existing research confirms that people with mental illness seek GP consultations significantly more often than members of the general population, ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 13 but that GPs rarely offer them holistic lifestyle advice (Lord, Malone & Mitchell, 2010). These patients receive lower levels of preventative care and when there are co-morbidities, receive less treatment and at a later stage of the disease process (Bartlem et al, 2014;Lord, Malone & Mitchell, 2010;Qun et al, 2010).…”
