Final Patient Report

No name received!

Disclaimer: This tool is intended for screening purposes only and does not replace a clinical diagnosis. Results should always be interpreted alongside the nurse’s professional judgment. Patients with emotional, psychological, or cognitive concerns should be referred for professional support. The color-coded results (green, yellow, light red) serve as guidance, not as final decisions. Avoid using identifiable patient details, refer to patients by code only.

A. How to read the results:

This report summarizes the results from the EDU-MENT Mental Health Screening Tool, which assesses several domains of mental health and well-being. Each domain receives a severity score, with higher scores showing greater concern. Answers marked “Not able to assess / Unwillingness to respond” are excluded from the calculation.

Interpretation:

• Green (0–33%) – Low concern: No immediate action is required. This does not mean that action is unnecessary, but that the level of risk is considered low. Extra assessments are available if you wish to investigate further.
• Yellow (34–66%) – Moderate concern: Some points to monitor. Monitor or reassess. The available extra assessments are advised for further investigation.
• Light red (67–100%) – High concern: May require closer observation or referral. Follow up with the available extra assessment or referral (e.g., doctor, psychologist, social worker).

Note1: Light red does not imply a diagnosis or emergency; the tool only highlights potential risk factors. Nurses should interpret results together with their clinical judgment and any additional patient observations.

Note2: If a domain shows high concern (light red), consider administering the relevant further assessment tool(s) for a more detailed evaluation.

B. Summary

Domain A. Demographic characteristics:

0%

If the Demographic Characteristics domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to factors such as income, gender identification, and residence in a remote area. While these characteristics may not be directly linked to mental health, they can contribute to social isolation, financial stress, or limited access to healthcare, all of which can have an impact on overall well-being.

Suggested Actions:

❖ Financial and social support: To address financial stress, refer patients to local social services, financial counseling, or assistance programs to help alleviate financial strain. For those with gender identity concerns, ensure access to affirming mental health care and connect them to LGBTQ+ support networks or resources. For individuals in rural or remote areas, provide information about telehealth services or community outreach programs to reduce isolation. Encourage participation in local or online community groups, social clubs, or senior centers to help strengthen social support networks and combat social isolation. Regarding the social determinants of health such as housing, education, and healthcare access refer the patient to relevant community-based organizations or social workers for further support.

Domain B. Health & Comorbidities:

0%

If the Health & Comorbidities domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to the presence of multiple chronic illnesses, significant medication use, or diagnoses of mental health conditions. These factors, especially in combination, can increase the strain on both physical and mental health, leading to potential psychological challenges like depression, anxiety, and stress.

Suggested Actions:

❖ Physical Health Management: Collaborate with healthcare providers for comprehensive disease management. Ensure coordinated care for patients with multiple chronic conditions.

Domain C. Cognitive & Emotional Function:

0%

If the Cognitive & Emotional Function domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to cognitive impairments, emotional distress, or challenges in managing day-to-day activities. Issues like memory problems, difficulty making decisions, trauma, speech or language difficulties, confusion, or hallucinations can significantly impact the person's emotional well-being and their ability to function in daily life. These cognitive and emotional challenges can lead to heightened risks of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and stress, particularly if there is a lack of proper support or intervention.

Suggested Actions:

❖ For patients experiencing memory problems or difficulty making decisions, consider referring them to cognitive specialists or neuropsychologists for further evaluation. Recommend memory aids and strategies for everyday decision-making to help maintain independence. For patients with speech or language difficulties, refer to a speech-language pathologist for assessment and therapy. These services can help improve communication and functional abilities. For patients with confusion or delirium, refer to a healthcare provider for further investigation and management. Assess any underlying conditions like infections or medications that could be contributing to cognitive decline.
❖ For patients with a history of trauma or emotional distress, refer them to trauma-informed counselors or mental health professionals for therapy. Offer coping strategies and engage in supportive counseling to address any emotional and psychological needs. For patients experiencing hallucinations or delusions, refer them for psychiatric evaluation. Hallucinations can be indicative of underlying conditions such as schizophrenia, severe anxiety, or dementia. For patients dealing with the loss of a loved one, encourage seeking grief counseling or support groups to assist in the mourning process and prevent prolonged emotional distress.

Domain D. Sleep & Nutrition:

Notes:

In cases where the patient reports insomnia, the results for this domain will typically appear in the yellow range to alert you that further investigation may be required.

If the patient has insomnia and sleeps fewer than 5 hours per night, the results will appear in the light red range, indicating a higher level of concern and the need for more detailed follow-up or further assessment.

0%

If the Sleep & Nutrition domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to factors related to poor sleep patterns, irregular sleep cycles, or nutritional challenges. Issues such as insomnia, REM sleep disorders, over-sleeping, or under-sleeping can have significant effects on both physical and mental health, contributing to fatigue, mood disturbances, and cognitive impairments. Additionally, weight changes (whether gain or loss) and poor dietary habits can exacerbate these risks, leading to issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress. These factors can create a cycle where poor sleep and nutrition negatively impact mental health, and vice versa, increasing the risk of more severe psychological conditions.

Suggested Actions:

❖ For patients experiencing insomnia, REM sleep disorders, over-sleeping, or under-sleeping, refer them to a sleep specialist for further evaluation and management. Consider recommending a sleep hygiene program. For patients with poor or suboptimal dietary habits, refer them to a nutritionist or dietitian for personalized advice on improving eating habits. For patients with significant weight changes (gain or loss), especially those with a poor nutritional pattern, consider referring them to a weight management program or bariatric counselor.

Domain E. Community & Lifestyle:

0%

If the Community & Lifestyle domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to factors such as loneliness and limited social support. These issues can contribute to feelings of isolation, which are closely linked to mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.

Suggested Actions:

❖ Referral to Social Services: Consider referring the patient to local community services that can provide support for social isolation. Suggest the patient participate in local community activities, volunteering, or senior centers that could help combat loneliness.

Domain F. Personal Space & Environment:

0%

If the Personal Space & Enviroment domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to factors such as loneliness and limited social support. These issues can contribute to feelings of isolation, which are closely linked to mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.

Suggested Actions:

❖ For patients with cluttered living spaces or disorganized personal belongings, consider referring them to home assistance services to help manage daily chores and ensure a clean environment. If hoarding tendencies are present, it is essential to recommend a mental health assessment to explore the underlying psychological issues such as hoarding disorder, which can be associated with conditions like OCD or severe anxiety. For patients with poor personal hygiene or appearance, it's essential to address possible underlying physical, mental, or cognitive challenges, such as depression, cognitive decline, or physical disability. Referral to a personal care assistant or a healthcare professional specializing in geriatric or disability care may be necessary. Encourage the patient to maintain personal hygiene routines, which can have positive effects on both their physical health and self-esteem. A person with poor personal hygiene and disorganized living conditions might be experiencing cognitive decline, depression, or a lack of support. It is important to ensure they receive a comprehensive mental health assessment by a geriatric psychiatrist or mental health professional for further evaluation and possible intervention.
