The organisational climate of NHS Early Intervention Services (EIS) for psychosis: a qualitative analysis

Francis Lammas et al.

Summary: Background: Cognitive remediation (CR) therapy for psychosis significantly improves recovery but is yet to be widely implemented in NHS services. Organisational climate is one factor likely to affect implementation into Early Intervention Services (EIS), which serve those experiencing first episode psychosis. This study aimed to understand the organisational climate within UK NHS Early Intervention for Psychosis (EIP) services and the barriers and facilitators for the introduction of CR. Methods: Semi structured interviews were conducted with 42 EIS members of four teams in four NHS Trusts. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: There were differences between teams, including leadership style, involvement in decision making and willingness to adopt CR. Resource shortages were considered the main barrier for implementation across all teams, while the evidence base behind CR and the recognition of there being a clinical need were seen as the main facilitators. Conclusion: EIS teams are limited by their resources, but an understanding of the local organisational variables can help establish a culture that values innovation. Clear communication of the evidence base for CR is key to enable staff to implement novel treatments successfully despite limited resources and time pressures.

Feasibility and tolerability of a cognitive remediation clinical service in first episode coordinated specialty care

Kathryn E. Lewandowski

Summary: Cognitive remediation has shown significant effects on cognition in both chronic and first episode patients with psychosis, but its clinical availability remains limited. The development of a cognitive remediation programme, including internet-based computer training and therapy group sessions, has demonstrated good feasibility and acceptability in initial outcomes, with high satisfaction rates reported by participants.

Disengagement From Early Intervention Services for Psychosis: A Systematic Review

Franco Mascayano et al.

Summary: The review found that lack of family support and living alone were consistently associated with increased disengagement from early psychosis services, while lower medication adherence and higher drug misuse were also linked to higher risk for disengagement. Identifying and addressing these enabling and need factors can help predict and prevent disengagement in treatment.

Case Report: Successful Implementation of Integrative Cognitive Remediation for Early Psychosis

Olina G. Vidarsdottir et al.

Summary: Many individuals with psychotic disorders exhibit early neurocognitive and social cognitive impairments, for which cognitive remediation is widely supported as an effective treatment. Early intervention for cognitive dysfunction is associated with better outcomes, but clinical availability of such interventions remains limited. This case report describes the successful implementation and sustainability of an integrative cognitive remediation program for early psychosis in Iceland.

Effectiveness, Core Elements, and Moderators of Response of Cognitive Remediation for Schizophrenia A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Antonio Vita et al.

Summary: The study found that cognitive remediation is effective for cognitive and functional outcomes in schizophrenia, with crucial components including trained therapist, structured cognitive strategies, and integration with psychosocial rehabilitation. Patients with fewer years of education, lower premorbid IQ, and higher baseline symptom severity are optimal candidates for cognitive remediation.
