This study will test the effects of residential and essentially non-medication treatment on schizophrenia. There is sufficient research to question the effectiveness of antipsychotic medications in the management of schizophrenia, the long term prognoses for patients on these medications, and the effectiveness of residential treatment (e.g., Hegarty et al., 1994). Such medication use also results in significant risk for health complications and mortality in these patients. In addition, past studies investigating a Jungian approach to the treatment of psychosis demonstrated promise (e.g., Perry, 1999), but ran out of funding in the 1980s when the development of many psychiatric medications began to dominate the treatment of psychotic disorders.

Combat is a significant risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and by extension, substance abuse. While research studies continue to find support for this relationship, recent findings suggest this relationship is weak at best. The dominant risk factors are the same for military and civilian populations, which include youth and mental illness. Combat exposure is therefore thought to aggravate substance abuse prevalence among veterans because they were exposed when young and already suffering from mental illness.

The general themes of these articles centered around diabetes and medical care as affiliated with IT. All were also Australian-based. The use of IT was contrasted with traditional interventions (such as POC) that were not affiliated with IT. Most of the articles dealt with IT as associated with diabetes and assessed whether IT did indeed show results. Two of the articles dealt with IT in a general theme. The general theme was that IT certainly does not show incorrect results and that its introduction in the medical field can only help rather than hinder the nursing profession. At the very least, results of IT interventions replicate those of traditional interventions. Often times, they improve on them as well as making work easier for nurses and health practitioners. The challenge that exists then is for researchers and practitioners to find ways of introducing IT into the medical field in a way that helps nurses and others overcome intimidation and other hindrances towards IT and facilitates its use and expansion in the nursing/ medical health environment.
