严重精神疾病(SMI)影响着个人生活的许多不同方面。随着年龄的增长，患有SMI的人会经历更多的身体疾病、功能障碍、认知缺陷和社会残疾。为了促进更有效的社会工作实践与这一群体，这篇文章强调了主要的生物、心理、社会和家庭问题的老龄化与精神病学诊断。此外，还总结了已证明有效的干预方法，以及协调多个服务交付部门的服务的方法。最后，提出了未来实践和研究的方向，以开发更多的支持患有SMI的老年人及其家人的方法。
Severe mental illness (SMI) impacts many different facets of individuals' lives. As they age, those with SMI experience increased physical illnesses, functional impairment, cognitive deficits, and social disability. To promote more effective social work practice with this population, this article highlights the major biopsychosocial and family issues of aging with a psychiatric diagnosis. In addition, intervention approaches that have demonstrated efficacy are summarized along with ways to coordinate services across multiple service delivery sectors. Finally, future directions in practice and research are presented to develop additional methods of support for older adults with SMI and their families.
