Abstract:

Depression is a common and serious mental disorder although antidepressant medications, electroconvulsive therapy, and some psychotherapies are found to be effective treatment of this disorders. And yet, individuals afflicted with major depression or dysthymia may refuse psychiatric treatment, sometime, because of their illness. Although current guidelines require clinicians to obtain patients' informed consent for these psychiatric interventions, but empirical research have suggested that some psychiatric patients may not have sufficient decisional capacity to make treatment related decision (Van Staden & Kruger, 2003). Little is known about the capacity of patients with major depression or dysthymia because the notion of competence to consent to treatment was originally required to address mainly cognitive impaired or psychotic individuals, some of whom are more in the public eye because of an increased risk of danger to others when their mental impairment is not treated, such as schizophrenia. That might be the reason why no study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of aging on the treatment related decision-making ability among depressed even though this issue has been initially explored in older adults with schizophrenia (Palmer, Dunn, Appelbaum, & Jeste, 2004). The primary aims of the present proposed study are to examine the level, range, neuropsychological correlates, and stability of treatment-related decisional capacity among middle-aged and older patients (age >39) with major depression or dysthymia. Moreover, we will validate two measures of treatment-related decision making capacity in local context.

Abstract:

To review these three pillars and how their roles in retirement income protection could be strengthened in the future. Any reforms in pension scheme should be undertaken very cautiously because retirement income systems that are affordable today may not be sustainable in the future due to the twin pressures of demographic aging and the maturing of pension schemes; to assess the financial sustainability and the effectiveness (i.e. reduction of poverty and income inequality) of the changed or newly proposed schemes based on computer simulation with essential data set; (1) to assess the distribution of income and asset possession among older adults in the coming 3 decades; (2) to examine the public expenditure of the social security system including old-aged category of CSSA and OAA scheme in the coming 3 decades; (3) to estimate the benefits to be received from the retirement protection schemes including the MPF Schemes, the voluntary occupational ORSO schemes, and civil servant pension scheme in the coming thirty years; to review and evaluate the roles of the existing pillars in old age income security; (5) to propose a number of schemes that may change or replace the current social security system for older adults; to study which schemes pass the financial sustainability test for the next 30 years; (7) to project the impact of the schemes passed the sustainability test on the distribution of income and asset possession in the future cohort of older adults in the coming 3 decades e.g. to what extent these schemes may prevent or reduce the poverty or income inequality in old age; to evaluate the schemes by taking into account of results obtained in (2) to (7) and social (attitude to poverty in old age, concept of equity), economic and political (feasibility) circumstances of Hong Kong and guidelines proposed by World Bank (1994) as well as Holzmann, MacArthur, & Sin (2000); and 9) to recommend the most appropriate schemes taking into account of results obtained in all tasks mentioned above and economic and political (feasibility) circumstances of Hong Kong and to propose the detailed design of the scheme and the appropriate implementation strategy.

Abstract:

Objectives:1. To fill the existing knowledge gap regarding the prevalence of violent behaviours in psychotic patients in Hong Kong;2. To gather initial information on possible correlates of violence in this patient sample, so as to (a) shed light on the treatment and risk management of this group of patients, and (b) plan larger scale studies with more representative samples and relevant scope of investigation.Key IssueRecent research findings and clinical observation have indicated that some individuals with mental illness are at higher risk of displaying violent behaviours than non-mentally ill people(1). The clinical implications for the treatment and risk management of this particular sub-group of patients warrant further exploration.BackgroundPeople with mental health problems are not a uniform group. The nature and seriousness of their illness vary significantly. Large scale studies (2) revealed that even when both demographic variables and co-occurring drug abuse disorders were statistically controlled, a major mental disorder such as schizophrenia was still a significant predictor of violence. A diagnosis of schizophrenia could increase the risk of criminal offense by 3 times and violent offense by 7.2 times. Psychotic mood disorders, on the other hand, increased the risk of any offense by 6.8 times and violent offense by 10.4 times (3). Of the 994 homicide offenders studied in Finland (4), a diagnosis of schizophrenia increased the risk of homicide 8 times in males and 6.4 times in females. The increase was significant even when co-morbid substance abuse was controlled. However, when current psychotic symptoms were statistically controlled, the difference in rate of violence between patients groups and the community sample became non-significant (5). If medical treatment of these psychotic symptoms is efficacious, and drug compliance is good, chances are the risk of violence in the vulnerable patients can be significantly reduced.Various theories have been put forward to explain the elevated violence rate in psychotic patients, a more relevant one being the motivational influence of active psychotic symptoms. Delusional symptoms involving "threat/ control-override", and "command hallucination" are believed to propel the individual to act violently out of (imaginary) self protection or (delusional) justified cause (1). Studies done at three high security hospitals in England found that 75% of those patients with psychosis were recorded as being driven to offend by their delusions (6). A better understanding of "symptom-consistent violence" may allow professionals to identify those at risk of commiting violent act as well as becoming targets of violence.References:1.

Elements under examination include mental health of the children and their parents, the children's self-esteem and learning attitude; and parents and teachers' attitudes and skills towards supporting such children; to apply the findings to develop an indigenous home-school collaboration model to support these children, their families and teachers.

Abstract:

Objectives:1. To fill the existing knowledge gap regarding the prevalence of violent behaviours in psychotic patients in Hong Kong;2. To gather initial information on possible correlates of violence in this patient sample, so as to (a) shed light on the treatment and risk management of this group of patients, and (b) plan larger scale studies with more representative samples and relevant scope of investigation.Key IssueRecent research findings and clinical observation have indicated that some individuals with mental illness are at higher risk of displaying violent behaviours than non-mentally ill people(1). The clinical implications for the treatment and risk management of this particular sub-group of patients warrant further exploration.BackgroundPeople with mental health problems are not a uniform group. The nature and seriousness of their illness vary significantly. Large scale studies (2) revealed that even when both demographic variables and co-occurring drug abuse disorders were statistically controlled, a major mental disorder such as schizophrenia was still a significant predictor of violence. A diagnosis of schizophrenia could increase the risk of criminal offense by 3 times and violent offense by 7.2 times. Psychotic mood disorders, on the other hand, increased the risk of any offense by 6.8 times and violent offense by 10.4 times (3). Of the 994 homicide offenders studied in Finland (4), a diagnosis of schizophrenia increased the risk of homicide 8 times in males and 6.4 times in females. The increase was significant even when co-morbid substance abuse was controlled. However, when current psychotic symptoms were statistically controlled, the difference in rate of violence between patients groups and the community sample became non-significant (5). If medical treatment of these psychotic symptoms is efficacious, and drug compliance is good, chances are the risk of violence in the vulnerable patients can be significantly reduced.Various theories have been put forward to explain the elevated violence rate in psychotic patients, a more relevant one being the motivational influence of active psychotic symptoms. Delusional symptoms involving "threat/ control-override", and "command hallucination" are believed to propel the individual to act violently out of (imaginary) self protection or (delusional) justified cause (1). Studies done at three high security hospitals in England found that 75% of those patients with psychosis were recorded as being driven to offend by their delusions (6). A better understanding of "symptom-consistent violence" may allow professionals to identify those at risk of commiting violent act as well as becoming targets of violence.References:1.

Abstract:

Objectives: 1) To study how and to what extend can the use of information communication technology enhance the social life and self esteem of the older people. 2) To identify factors that affect the usage of ICT among the elderly persons, 3) To study the effectiveness of a large scale e-training programme for older persons in enhancing the ICT knowledge and skills. Hong Kong is a rapidly aging society as well as a speedily developing information society. Research on how information and communication technology (ICT) has cast impact on the aging process is of paramount concern to the helping profession. A recent local qualitative research had suggested that senior persons could be empowered via the exposure to ICT in different ways (Fung, 2004). In particular, it suggested that the social life of senior persons could be enhanced via the use of the internet. This proposed research project aims at providing quantitative data to further substantiate such thesis. According to the result of the previous research, ICT brought about positive changes in senior persons in three areas namely, Self-efficacy boosting; Awareness-raising; and Skill-building. This proposed research will develop instruments to measure the degree of such “changes”, focusing on the behavioral changes that senior persons exhibited with increased exposure to ICT. A non-governmental organization (NGO) has recently secured funding to train a large number of senior persons to use internet applications to communicate. There is a golden chance to ride on that training program for research purpose. Results of this proposed research could be used in calibrating community programs to enhance the quality of life of senior persons. It would also have great implications in understanding the effect of ICT on other disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities. Furthermore, investigation into other interesting areas such as cyber-relationship, net-addiction and other cyber behavior of senior persons and disadvantaged groups would be enlightened by the results of this research.
