The purpose of the screening was twofold: first, to explore the prevalence of somatization in this particular clinical setting; and second, to identify patients who might benefit from enhanced care for treating high symptom burden and/or health anxiety. Screening was conducted for new enrollees in a reverse integration setting over a six-month period. The screening found that in this setting, 57% of newly-enrolled patients who underwent screening endorsed high health anxiety, high symptom burden, or high levels of distress from their physical symptoms. Patients had high rates of co-occurring mental health diagnosis (including depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders) and high rates of co-morbid medical issues (including pain, headaches, gastrointestinal disorders, and breathing problems). 000003002 650__ $$aPatient-Centered Care$$031106 000003002 650__ $$aDelivery of Health Care, Integrated$$031297 000003002 650__ $$aAnxiety$$014946 000003002 650__ $$aMedically Unexplained Symptoms$$011873 000003002 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000003002 6531_ $$aSymptom Burden 000003002 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000003002 7001_ $$aNotton, Sarah$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000003002 8564_ $$944d4d333-928a-40b7-94a2-a1c2c09d2bd9$$s211866$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3002/files/3805_etd.pdf 000003002 905__ $$a/rest/prod/cf/95/jb/65/cf95jb65j 000003002 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:3002$$pstudent-work 000003002 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
