Doktorgradsprosjektet

PhD-kandidat på prosjektet "Hekta på Jobb". I prosjektet ønsker vi å finne ut om tiltaket "Individual Placement and Support" (IPS) er et egnet tilbud som kan hjelpe personer som er i rusbehandling å komme inn i lønnet arbeid.

For personer med rusutfordringer kan det å være i jobb ha mange positive effekter. Arbeid kan representere sosialt fellesskap, rusfritt nettverk, struktur i hverdagen, mening, aktivitet, tilhørighet, og utvikling av evner og ferdigheter. Mens det er forsket mye på jobbstøttemetodikker for andre pasientgrupper, er lite gjort på rusfeltet.

Gjennom prosjektet vil vi rette fokus mot jobb, og se om jobbstøtte kan integreres i behandlingen slik at flere med rusbakgrunn kan komme ut i lønnet arbeid.

For å undersøke effekt av IPS for denne pasientgruppen gjennomføres det i "Hekta på jobb"-prosjektet en randomisert kontrollert studie i Avdeling for Rus- og avhengighetsbehandling på OUS. Pasienter som ønsker å delta i prosjektet randomiseres og tilbys én av to ulike jobbstøttetjenester for å undersøke hvilken som er mest nyttig for personer med rusutfordringer.

Tilbud 1: "På vei mot jobb" – en selvhjelpspakke med supplerende kurs – Selvhjelpsbakken består av en arbeidsbok med relevante verktøy og hjelpemidler i jobbsøkingsprosessen, samt informasjon om hva man kan få hjelp til gjennom NAV og andre tjenester. Kursets hensikt er å supplere temaene i arbeidsboken slik at deltakerne kan få enda større utbytte av boken, og stå bedre rustet i en jobbsøkeprosess. Kurset vil ha en ramme på 6 timer, fordelt på tre dager. Deltakerne vil også bli tilbudt en oppfølgingssamtale med kurslederen.
Tilbud 2: Individuell jobbstøtte – Deltakerne vil bli tilbudt individuell jobbstøtte (IPS) og oppfølging fra en egen jobbspesialist som vil hjelpe med blant annet karriereveiledning, jobbmatch, jobbsøking, kontakt med arbeidsgivere, samt oppfølging inn i arbeidsforholdet. Jobbspesialisten vil være integrert med deltakers behandlingsteam.

Objective In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in investigating the use of classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the treatment of mental disorders and substance use disorders. However, knowledge about the epidemiology of classic psychedelics in the Nordic countries is limited. Methods We recruited adult, Norwegian participants who have had a memorable experience after taking a classic psychedelic substance. They filled in an anonymous internet survey with 119 items covering matters related to recreational use of psychedelics using a secure, web-based application. Data are presented by using descriptive statistics (frequencies, means, and standard deviations). Results We recruited 841 participants, 770 (72% male; 88% 45 years or younger) of which were included in the data analysis. The intentions behind taking the psychedelic substance were mainly recreational (46.1%) or therapeutic (42.3%). Most participants reported that their most memorable experience was with psilocybin. As in modern era clinical trials, most participants were well-prepared before, did processing during, and did integration work after the experience, whereas only a minority were supported by a therapist. Self-perceived symptoms of various mental disorders and substance use disorders were prevalent in the sample. Most subjects reported improvements in their condition. Although adverse reactions were usually mild and short-lived, 4.2% lasted for 1 year or more. Persisting flashbacks were present for a year or more among 2.9% of the participants. Conclusion In this cross-sectional sample of Norwegian, self-selecting adults, we shed light on what characterizes the most memorable experience with a classic psychedelic substance, including short- and long-term risks and benefits. For the most part, the psychedelic experience led to improvements in self-perceived symptoms of mental disorders and substance use disorders. However, a small subset experienced persisting adverse reactions.

Aims Employment is associated with better outcomes of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, and protects against relapse after treatment completion. In Norwegian unemployment estimates in this patient group are ranging between 81-89 %. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based method to help persons with severe mental disorders obtain and keep employment. A simulation model on socio-economic effects of IPS in SUD-treatment showed great potential. In this study, we aimed to update the model with real world data, the potential socio-economic value of IPS for the patient group. Methods We used data collected in an RCT, comparing the effect of a job course and IPS in SUD treatment, to update the simulation model. We did a subgroup analysis to specify the scenarios in the model. Potential benefits in terms of increased work ability, reduced disability pension and increased salary were estimated over 10 years, with a discount rate of 4%. Results The outcomes from the RCT rejected some of our main assumptions in the model, as thus the assumed socio-economic value of IPS in SUD-treatment. However, when data was assessed in subgroups, we found an increased socio-economic value of IPS in a long-term perspective, based on higher salaries and more hours worked. Conclusions Estimating the effects of preventive measures in health care is a challenge. Economic simulations can help viewing future scenarios and thus promote sustainable innovation in health care. These models should be updated continuously, as data form real world testing is available.
