Cognitive Model for Behavioral Interventions as a Personalized Intervention for Patients With Serious Mental Illness
Sponsor: Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Summary
The aim of this clinical study is to investigate whether CoMBI-SMI helps to reduce behavioral problems and psychiatric complaints in Serious Mental Illness (SMI) populations complaints and to reduce the burden on informal caregivers. It will also be examined whether there is an improvement in the quality of life of the participants. Participants are asked to complete two questionnaires. Then the participants receive treatment as is normally given in a clinical department. In particular, the caregivers will be asked to observe the behavior of the participants using a questionnaire and to follow a CoMBI-training to better tailor the treatment to the core needs of the participants. Comparisons will be made within the participant group because measurements take place before and after the procedure.

CoMBI-SMI
The first step is analysis of the behavioral problem because the core need is insufficiently compensated by the current environment or counteracted by the behavior of people within that environment. Step 2 is to choose the right core need based on this analysis. CoMBI-SMI describes the patient's self-image, the image of others, the triggering events and the problematic behavior of the patient based on personality disorders as classified by the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Step 3 is to choose the nursing intervention that is easily deployable so that Healthcare providers can identify the underlying core need and reduce the behavioral problems and burden on the healthcare providers. The fourth and final step is to draw up a CoMBI plan. The CoMBI-SMI is a cyclical process where it is important that the entire team is aligned with the patient's behavioral approach. Interventions are carried out by the entire team and evaluated after an agreed period of time.
