This study aimed to understand the (a) needs felt by patients and those perceived by the care providers (CPs), (b) agreement between patients and CPs in the identified needs and (c) factors associated with unmet needs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 215) were recruited through convenience sampling from the Early Psychosis Intervention Programme (EPIP). Data was captured from patients and CPs using the Camberwell Assessment of Needs Short Appraisal Schedule (CANSAS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients and CPs identified an average of 4.06 and 3.84 needs, respectively. The highest number of unmet needs were identified for the social (50% of patients and CPs) and health domains (31.13% of patients\u2019 vs. 28.30% of CPs). Company, intimate relationships, psychotic symptoms, money, sexual expression and psychological distress, information and benefits were the unmet needs identified by patients, whereas company, intimate relationships, physical health, and daytime activities were identified by CPs. The concordance between patients and CPs was low with majority of the items scoring slight to fair agreement (Cohen\u2019s kappa = 0\u20130.4). Older age, depression, severe anxiety and having Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) were positively associated with unmet needs in patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>While there was an overall consensus on the total needs and met needs between patients and CPs, the level of agreement between the two groups on various items were low. Different perceptions regarding unmet needs were noted between the groups. A holistic approach that takes into account different facets of the needs of patients together with strategic planning to address unmet needs might improve treatment outcomes and satisfaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2022.952666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]],"date-time":"2022-09-20T09:50:22Z","timestamp":1663667422000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Needs of patients with early psychosis: A comparison of patient\u2019s and mental health care provider\u2019s perception"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"P.
