Abstract:

This thesis comprises three interconnected chapters: a systematic literature review (chapter one); empirical paper (chapter two); and an extended discussion (chapter three) which incorporates an accessible version of the research findings, and a future research proposal. The systematic review aims to find, describe and critique the empirical evidence for the impact of mental health service user involvement on the design, delivery, commissioning or evaluation of mental health services. Secondary objectives are to ascertain whether any attempts have been made to apply psychological theory and wh

Background: When a loved one is admitted to intensive care it can be a traumatic experience for the patients’ relatives. Poor communication and lack of information from intensive care unit (ICU) staff members can have a negative impact on how relatives cope on an ICU and in the months following the experience. There is a need for interventions to improve these aspects and prepare relatives for what to expect on the ICU using a combination of written and verbal information.

Abstract:

Recent research has suggested that mental health problems are over-represented in the homeless population. Currently mental health services are under-utilised by this group in proportion to need. It is often assumed that psychological intervention is unlikely to be helpful with a client group where basic needs are often not met. The Transtheoretical Model of Change is used as a framework to describe the complex, dynamic processes that are likely to impact on a homeless person with mental health problems' ability to seek help for their mental health difficulties. This model is also applied to s

<p>The purpose of writing Pastoral Health and Burnout: Spiritual Maturity, Emotional Health, and Physical Environment is to integrate biblical and psychological insights to test three suspected factors of burnout among senior pastors.

Clinicians are often required to make judgments regarding clients on the basis of relatively limited information. These judgments can have a substantial effect on the client's own self-perception and on the perceptions of others about the client.

Abstract:

The resurgence of prayer and glossolalia (speaking in tongues) within Protestant denominations in the United States of America has stimulated widespread psychological and theological debate. Previous research has indicated that religiosity has both a negative and positive effect on mental health functioning. However, there remains an important gap in the current literature regarding the relationships between specific religious practices and mental health. Therefore the purpose of the proposed study is to report on the growing number of religious persons who pray/glossolate and the conflicting

Ten to fifteen per cent of women from affluent countries, utilising private health care services are diagnosed with Postnatal Depression (PND) annually. Despite the high prevalence and the negative consequences for mother, child and partner, PND remains largely undiagnosed. Thus, this study explored health practitioners' experience of and attitude towards screening for postnatal depression to explore the barriers to screening as well as potential mechanisms to improve the rate of detection.
