Abstract:

Little is known regarding current relational dynamics among young people, their mental health, and socio-economic processes and implications for mental health promotion initiatives. Social praxis, underpinned by a Hegelian-Marxist historical-dialectical perspective was used to deepen understanding regarding ways that young people’s socio-economic environments are influencing their mental health, their processes of seeking to realize their mental health, and mental health promotion from a socio-economic perspective. The experiences of 30 diverse young people between the ages of 15 and 28 years

Physical Activity and Health Abstract: More research is needed in physical activity and sedentary behaviour and their associations with mental health in young people. Study 1 examined the effect size for the association between sedentary behaviour and mental health in young people aged 5-18 years of age, using a meta-analysis. Results from 37 independent studies (n=373, 512) showed a small but significant effect size (r=-0.30, 95% CI= -0.20, -0.45, p<0.001), indicating that sedentary behaviour is associated with mental health problems in young people.

Abstract:

Children and young people with neurological conditions have at least a five times greater risk of developing a mental health disorder than their otherwise healthy peers. Little is known about effective methods for treating mental health disorders in the context of a paediatric chronic physical illness, despite high unmet need and serious adverse consequences. The purpose of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a method of routine identification and treatment of common mental health disorders in children and young people with chronic neurological conditions, using an online diagnostic interv

Abstract:

Background: A link between youth homelessness and mental illness is recognised (Bines, 1994; Craig & Hodson, 1998; Kamieniecki, 2001; Whitbeck, Johnson, Hoyt, Cauce, 2004). However, very little empirically robust research has examined the role mental health plays in the lives of young homeless people, particularly in the United Kingdom. In the UK, approximately 80,000 young people are known to experience homelessness each year. The actual figure is likely to be far larger as it does not take into account those young people who are ‘hidden homeless’ (DePaul UK, 2013). Young people with experien

Abstract:

There is a sound evidence base on the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcome in psychotherapy for adults. In comparison, there is a smaller amount of literature on the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcomes for adolescents. Adolescents rarely are seen individually for therapy and instead are often seen by family therapists as part of a system with other members of the family. At present, it is uncertain what the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcome for adolescents in family therapy are.

Eight young men between the ages of 16-18, who had entered CAMHS following self-harm or suicidal ideation, and who were engaged in on-going therapy, were recruited.

Abstract:

The current research used a grounded theory approach (Charmaz, 2006) to explore the ways in which a small group of teachers working in mainstream schools constructed the term ‘mental health’ and how they responded to young people who may be experiencing ‘mental health’ problems. The findings indicated that four conceptual categories emerged from the data. One of the conceptual categories indicated that the teachers had two constructs of mental health, with one construct suggesting teachers felt mental health language was limiting for young people.

Introduction The use of occupation in occupational therapy has been regularly debated in the profession’s literature. More recently there has been a shift to consider occupation as the core construct of occupational therapy, which informs assessments, interventions and outcomes; this can be described as occupational practice.

The transition from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) can be a challenging time for young people with mental health difficulties. Currently, much of the available research examining transition from CAMHS to AMHS is based on service providers’ perspectives with limited focus on perspectives of young people. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore how young people experience transition between CAMHS and AMHS. In addition, the experience of being supported by a Transition Service (TS) was also explored. Seven participants were re

Abstract:

The lifetime burden of mental ill-health, has been recognised as a major public health issue. Inconsistencies in assessment and diverse methodologies have led to a lack of comparability. This PhD thesis attempts to assess secondary administrative datasets in measuring mental health at a population level in Northern Ireland. At first, this thesis focuses on the linkage between the Child Health System (CHS) dataset and nation-wide prescription data, using the Health and Care Number. Through this, the interplay between perinatal factors and later psychotropic medication uptake is investigated. Th

Abstract:

The importance of early intervention for positive outcomes following a first episode of psychosis (FEP) is recognised, however, there are still delays in young people seeking help. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore beliefs about help-seeking in young people who have recently experienced a FEP. Twelve participants were interviewed and transcripts were analysed using grounded theory. Five categories of beliefs were identified which contributed to the development of a preliminary model of beliefs about a need for help-seeking. Young people’s beliefs about their experiences as norma

My interest was to access participants’ stories of partner violence and to tap into their usual ways of thinking and talking about this issue. I wanted to attend to how young women and men actively imparted meaning to themselves and others, and how they constructed and performed their identities through the situated interaction of the research interview. Importantly, I used interactional, performative and na

Abstract:

Depression in young people is common, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Behavioural Activation (BA) is a cost-effective and efficacious treatment for reducing depressive symptoms in adults. There is little published research relating to BA as a treatment option for young people with depression. Thus, the aim was to explore the feasibility of conducting a trial of BA for depression in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Stage I The initial stage of the study comprised a focused ethnography, conducted over a six-month period. The purpose was to explore the CAMHS study site,

Abstract:

This thesis studies the transition process for young people with social emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties, from mainstream secondary school into further education colleges, with particular reference to what is happening at a systemic level. Activity theory was used as a theoretical framework and methodology to examine the sociocultural processes involved in transition, highlight contradictions and offer recommendations for future practice. Individual semi-structured interviews were utilised in the research to explore the views of secondary school staff, further education staff an

Background: Dissemination of evidence-based mental health clinical practice guidelines had not been studied in Australia prior to the National General Practice Guideline Implementation Program. This naturalistic research reports ten national interventions designed to disseminate the NHMRC 1997 Clinical Practice Guideline Depression in Young People for GPs (GDIYP-GP) through 123 Divisions of General Practice. The guideline covered depression and suicide in young people aged 13 to 20 years. Aim: To evaluate a 'coordinated link agent' and 'enhanced packaged approach' for disseminating a national

Abstract:

This thesis presents the findings from an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of the experience of young people whose parents are in contact with mental health services. An overview of previous literature suggested that these young people have largely been overlooked by researchers until the last decade. More recently, projects have been underway that aim to address the specific needs of this group, particularly by encouraging professionals to consider clients' roles as parents. These have been mostly from a psychiatric perspective and have tended to rely on illness models of unders
