Murphy, K. "Recovery-orientation in mental health services." Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2012. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/11184/.

Abstract:
Policy initiatives are calling for mental health services to change their ways of working to prioritising the promotion of service users’ personal recovery. This requires a major re-negotiation of working practices and the relationship between service users and staff/services and their respective social positions. Preliminary research has shown that change has been problematic. The present study aimed to explore the construction of recovery and the positioning of service users and staff during the adoption of recovery-oriented practices in a community support and recovery team.

Abstract:
Despite older adolescence being a risk period for the development of mental health concerns, mental health service engagement is low amongst 16-18 year olds. As therapeutic attendance is linked to clinical outcome, it is important to understand engagement in this population. There is a paucity of research looking specifically at the older adolescent engagement phenomenon. Previous qualitative research into adolescent experiences has provided rich and detailed results. Ten 16-18 years olds, engaged in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, were recruited from two London-based services. Ea

Abstract:
Background: The challenges in the utilization of scientific findings in the fields of prevention and mental health are well documented. Scholars have found significant gaps between the knowledge available and the knowledge applied in healthcare. Studies have suggested that about half of the patients receive the recommended care for their medical condition. In order to address this gap, health systems at global, national, regional and local levels have made diverse efforts to facilitate the uptake of research for example through evidence-based health policy processes.

Abstract:
Since the 1990s there have been continued drives in England to integrate National Health Services and Local Authorities’ social care within a single mental health service, with the aim of bringing about improvements in health and social care (Local Government Association et al., 2016). This is underpinned by the belief that through bringing the different professional health (such as psychiatrists and mental health nurses) and social care disciplines together, people in need will have a single point of access to a range of skills and knowledge, that no one system could deliver alone (Cooper, 20

Research shows that the integration of physical and mental healthcare in paediatric settings is beneficial in terms of clinical and cost effectiveness (Kahana, Drotar, & Frazier, 2008; Douglas & Benson 2008, Griffin & Christie, 2008). Due to the high rates of mental health problems within this population, several studies have shown that referral to paediatric psychology should be increased (e.g. Wagner & Smith, 2007). However, there are few studies investigating factors influencing healthcare professionals’ referral behaviour. The current study used theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988; 19

Recent studies with offenders have identified a growing distrust in psychologists and that this may be due to the changing role of clinical psychologists working within these settings. In addition to the traditional role of alleviating psychological distress, psychologists in these settings also have the additional role of providing expert risk assessment. Clinical psychologists working in forensic mental health settings (FMHS) are also tasked with this ‘dual role’. To date, there is no research exploring the impact of this dual role in FMHS.

Abstract:
Section A reviews and synthesizes the extant literature on adherence to clinical guidelines, with specific reference to the use of CBT self-help interventions as a mainstay within the IAPT programme. The review also evaluates the utility of one psychological framework, namely the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), in assessing the cognitive factors that may be most associated with compliance in this context. The review ends by suggesting an avenue for future research. Section B In spite of evidence for their efficacy and effectiveness as well as the recommendations of NICE, CBT self-help mater

Abstract:
The aim of this grounded theory study was to explore the social identity of members of service user groups that train mental health professionals (SUG-TR). Additionally, the study aimed to construct an explanatory model of how participating in such groups contributes towards the achievement and maintenance of positive social identity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight members of SUG-TR. Grounded theory was used to build a preliminary model, which contained 5 main categories: ‘Impact of mental illness/ impact of receiving a psychiatric diagnosis’; ‘The experience of stigma’;

Abstract:
Research shows that anxiety disorders are common and problematic in children. Treatment studies demonstrate that cognitive-behavioural interventions for children can successfully minimise these problems. Further, when implemented as early intervention or prevention programs, these interventions can prevent the onset of anxiety problems in 7 to 14 year olds and reduce existing levels of anxiety. This type of preventive approach has enormous potential for improving community mental health in a low cost model of service delivery. Yet, to develop this as a viable service model, these programs need

Abstract:
Service user and carer involvement has become a priority in the education of mental health professionals. While preliminary evidence suggests that service user and carer involvement is perceived positively by mental health students, there is a paucity of research investigating impacts relating to changes in learners’ knowledge, skills, attitudes or behaviour. The present qualitative study sought to investigate what, and how, (trainee) clinical psychologists learn as a result of service user and carer involvement in their training. Overall, 12 (trainee) clinical psychologists were interviewed a

Abstract:
Section A presents a literature review of the issues and challenges facing fathers in the postnatal period, in the context of an historical marginalisation of fathers in the study of child development. The review leads to a specific focus on the limited research evidencing the increased risk fathers face to their mental health, when coping with a partner's admission to a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU). Section B Fathers' experience of the joint admission of a partner and child to an MBU has been the subject of limited research, despite initial findings suggesting fathers are at increased risk of p

Abstract:
A literature review examines how mental health difficulties may differ for people with learning disabilities (PwLD) and the general population; with respect to their vulnerability to mental ill-health and the definition, presentation and treatment of mental health problems. Factors which have been found to positively impact on the mental health of PwLD are then explored. The review considers methodological limitations and gaps in our understanding, highlighting a need for further research focusing on mental health recovery for individuals with learning disabilities.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Depression är lika vanligt som demens hos äldre, men ofta inte lika studerat eller diskuterat. I dagsläget finns det flertalet olika bedömningsformulär för att finna dessa patienter men depression hos äldre är ofta odiagnostiserat. Konsekvenserna med en depression i sen ålder kan vara mycket ogynnsamma, både för individen och samhället. Allt eftersom den äldre befolkningen kommer att öka så kommer även depression att öka.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka olika metoder för att lindra depressiva symtom hos den äldre befolkningen.
