ReviewComplex health conditions and mental health training: How prepared is the frontline service provider?
How prepared are frontline service providers for dealing with mental illness in patients with multiple, complex health conditions? The aims of this study were two-fold, to gain insight into the kinds of training and education desired by frontline service providers in a healthcare setting and to compile a list of key questions for health service managers and education leaders to address based on our findings. Over 100 care providers responded to a survey. ⋯ Suggested approaches ranged from regular workshops (eg, case presentations) to systems-level strategies (eg, partnering with mental health organizations). This study provides a critical first look into what frontline service providers identify as being essential to their skill set in working with a complex population and raises important questions for healthcare managers and educators to consider in addressing this gap.
