Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this action research study was to examine the effects of the stigma of mental illness towards individuals with mental illness on services provided by medical professionals, specifically, registered nurses who work in an emergency department (ED). There have been numerous studies on how attitudes towards mental illness can be present in health care professionals; however, none that focused specifically on the attitudes of ED nurses. Nurses working in the ED are often the first health care professional a patient with mental illness sees and their attitude can influence the res

Large numbers of individuals utilize the ER each year for mental health reasons. The health home agency in this study was designed under the Affordable Care Act with the intention of increasing patient self-management thus decreasing high-cost service utilization. The effectiveness of health homes in reducing mental health-related ER visits has remained unexplored. In this study, the relationship between participation in this program and ER utilization was examined, using the theoretical framework of the Health Belief Model.

Abstract:

This research describes the design and evaluation of an internet-based universal program for use in schools with adolescent students to prevent common mental disorders and promote mental health. The research began in response to investigations that showed that rates of mental illness in Australian children, teenagers and adults were high, that these illnesses caused significant burden to individuals and society, and that there were insufficient services to treat. When current interventions are unable to alleviate disease burden it is important to focus on prevention. Mental health prevention s

Abstract:

Studies have shown that emergency mental health trauma (EMHT) services can significantly reduce the long-term effects of trauma after a disaster. However, rural municipalities may find they do not have the capacity to create such a service, or may not realize that their disaster planning includes no provision for emergency mental health care. Such was the case in a rural island community in the state of Washington, where, in 2014, several residents initiated a discussion that helped to identify the community's lack of EMHT services.

Little is known, however, about how mental health reason-for-visit (MHRFV) interacts with patient and hospital characteristics to affect wait times to see an ED provider.

Today's emergency departments (EDs) are challenged with increasing numbers of patients with behavioral health (BH) issues and associated management problems. Patients presenting in the ED are increasingly in need of BH services due to a lack of available services in the community. The implication is that ED staff are faced with conducting a comprehensive review of their systems and processes for BH care delivery to ensure that the needs of this population are safely met. Specifically, this DNP project addressed the lack of evidence-based screening tools for the ED triage area for patients with

Australia is experiencing widespread ecosystem degradation, including dryland salinity, erosion and vegetation loss. Approximately 1 million hectares (5.5%) of the south-west agricultural zone of Western Australia is affected by dryland salinity and is predicted to rise to 5.4 million hectares by 2050. Such degradation is associated with many environmental outcomes that may impact on human health, including a decrease in primary productivity, an increase in the number of invasive species, a decrease in the number of large trees, overall decrease in biodiversity, and an increase in dust product

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to analyze mental health care in Australia from a social justice and human rights perspective, in order to demonstrate that social justice as a philosophical manifestation of justice and fairness, is an essential ingredient in the theory and practice of mental health care. It is contended that the needs of the mentally ill would be most appropriately answered by the utilization of a Natural Law model, based on Finnis’s Natural Law theory. The Scope of the Thesis.The needs and care of the mentally ill are discussed, together with the treatment meted out to these vulner

Abstract:

Background: Little is known about the experience and psychological outcomes for women who experience emergency peripartum hysterectomy (EPH). The objective of this study was to explore women's experiences of EPH and to determine if women who experience EPH were more likely to experience mental health sequelae. Methods: This mixed method design involved a quantitative and a qualitative phase. The quantitative phase used a retrospective cohort design. Women were sampled through on-line communities, including an EPH support group, and a larger website for mothers. Women completed on-line su

Abstract:

Entre as especialidades psiquiátricas, destacam-se as emergências que envolvem risco de vida ou risco social grave (comportamento violento, surto psicótico, risco de homicídio, tentativa de suicídio, etc.), que necessitam interferências imediatas. As urgências são situações que envolvem riscos menores, mas que necessitam intervenções em curto prazo (comportamento bizarro, agitação aguda, ideação suicida, crises de pânico, outros). O presente estudo foi realizado com objetivo de identificar necessidades de melhorias no atendimento e formar o Programa de Educação Permanente visando à atuação int

Abstract:

As reinternações psiquiátricas são consequência de uma complexa combinação de situações que vão além da severidade do próprio transtorno mental. Vários fatores relacionados ao paciente, comunidade e ao sistema de saúde têm sido associados com admissões psiquiátricas recorrentes. A Reforma Psiquiátrica determinou uma mudança da base assistencial fortalecendo modalidades de tratamento comunitário. Neste contexto, a análise das readmissões assumiu um papel de destaque para a organização das redes de saúde mental, pois a dinâmica das re-internações poderá ser um indicador de qualidade dos serviços

Abstract:

Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) often suffer from more than physical ailments when seeking care and treatment. Some of these patients have emotional ailments and suicidal ideation when they come to the local ED. The lack of recognition of at-risk patients by health care providers can lead to poor patient outcomes and death. The focus of this project was to understand which valid and reliable suicide assessment tools described in the literature were considered the best evidence-based instruments to identify ED patients who were at risk for suicide.
