Changes in self‐determined motivation for exercise in people with mental illness participating in a community‐based exercise service in Australia
Exercise has diverse benefits for physical and mental health in people with mental illness; however, it is unclear how to effectively promote exercise motivation in this group. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions utilising exercise instruction or behavioural counselling with people with mental illness to improve self-determined motivation for exercise, and physical and mental health. Participants were adults (a…
What makes an excellent mental health doctor?’ A response integrating the experiences and views of service users with critical reflections of psychiatrists
While therapeutic relationships are appropriately recognised as the foundation of mental health service, service users commonly report suboptimal experiences. With shared understanding critical to improvement in practice, we explored service users' experiences and expectations of psychiatrists and consultations, engaging psychiatrists throughout the process. Using an iterative qualitative approach we co-produced a response to the question 'what m…
A qualitative study of patients' knowledge and views of about oral health and acceptability of related intervention in an Australian inpatient alcohol and drug treatment facility
Social factors, health behaviours and the direct effects of substances contribute to the poor oral health and restricted access to dental services experienced by people who are dependent on drugs and/or alcohol. Admission for inpatient withdrawal management provides an opportunity for intervention to promote oral health but to be effective it must be acceptable to patients. To support intervention design, we examined patients' views about oral he…
Physical Health in Public Mental Health Care
ObjectiveTo inform improvement in the process and outcomes of care by describing the views and practices of psychologists working in public mental health services (PMHS) regarding provision of physical healthcare for consumers.MethodCross‐sectional qualitative study employing a theoretical model of behaviour (capability, opportunity, motivation, and behaviour; COM‐B model). Data collected in semi‐structured interviews with maximum diversity sampl…
Attending to physical health in mental health services in Australia
Evidence is unequivocal: the premature death of people with severe mental health problems is attributable primarily to cardiovascular disease, and healthcare provided is often suboptimal. With the overarching aim of improving outcomes, policies and guidelines oblige mental health services and psychiatrists to monitor cardio-metabolic health of patients and intervene as appropriate. Practice is highly variable; however, with ongoing debate about r…
Understanding readmission to psychiatric hospital in Australia from the service users’ perspective
Inpatient care is integral to balanced mental health systems, contributing to containment of risk associated with psychiatric crises and affording opportunities for treatment. However, psychiatric wards are not always safe and service users are often dissatisfied with the experience. Hence, and because inpatient care is the most costly component of mental health systems, minimising duration of admission and reducing risk of readmission are clinic…
A critical reflection on process of a collaborative inquiry in a mental health service
Collaborative inquiry involves a group of people in iterative examination of a shared experience, action to address identified concerns, and reflection. We describe our attempt to conduct a collaborative inquiry into the roles and experiences of health professionals designated as recovery champions within a mental health service. Our linked goals were to work with champions to support the desired shift in approach to care and implementation of re…
Multidisciplinary integration in the context of integrated care – results from the North West London Integrated Care Pilot
We characterise the Multidisciplinary Groups as having consultative characteristics with some trend towards collaboration, but that best resemble Community-Based Ward Rounds. Although integration scores do increase from the beginning to the end of the Case Discussions, this does not tend to translate into actions for the groups to take forward. The role of the Chair and the improved participation of non-presenting general practitioners and Allied…
Multidisciplinary group performance – measuring integration intensity in the context of the North West London Integrated Care Pilot
This is a novel and potentially useful method for researchers, managers and practitioners to better understand MDG dynamics and to identify whether participants are integrating. The degree to which participants use MDG meetings to develop an integrated way of working is likely to require management, leadership and shared values
Delusions and Qualitative Confusions
In this article we describe the application of a dialogic collaborative process (DCP) to the exploration of issues arising from our own interview-based research in populations prone to delusions. We used the DCP to investigate and develop a shared understanding of ethical and epistemological tensions and their potential influence on the research process. Although our meaning making involved agreement to disagree in relation to specific issues, we…
Realist Christian Theology in a Postmodern Age
They can't solve the problem without us’
Providers of public health care are under pressure to involve service-users in service development. This pressure emanates from legislators and the public who promote user involvement (UI), as a 'means to an end' and/or 'an end in itself'. Case studies in six English commissioning areas explored the process and purpose of UI in drug treatment services. In-depth interviews with 139 respondents who commission, manage, deliver or use services were c…
