Full textIn order to address the problem of being consumed, participants engaged in a basic social psychological process of "seeking balance". When participants were engaged in this process they moved from a state of being consumed to one whereby they established and consolidated a balanced life perspective that incorporated their caregiving role. The process of seeking balance consisted of three phases: "utilising personal strategies to reduce the problem of being consumed', "restoring self- identity", and "reaching out to make a difference". In addition, data analysis identified the presence of a three phase sub-process entitled "trying to make sense of what was happening". Phases one of the core and sub- processes occurred primarily in the period prior to the time when a psychiatric diagnosis was made on the affected family member. Participants became engaged in the remaining two phases of the core and sub-processes when they became aware that their affected family member had a mental disorder. At the time of being interviewed for this study some participants were not yet engaged in the final phase of the process of seeking balance. Participants' experience of seeking balance was not related to the length of their caregiving experience but rather to their experience of seeking balance and the conditions influencing that process. Four conditions were identified as influencing participants' experience of seeking balance.
This thesis presents the substantive theory of seeking balance to overcome being consumed. While the findings support existing scientific literature, the substantive theory also presents a new insight on caring from the primary carer's perspective. In particular, the findings challenge health professionals to actively pursue strategies to reduce carers' experience of being consumed. The findings of this study have implications for service provision and clinical practice, policy and planning, research, education, the general population, mental health consumers, and carers.

Full textABSTRACT Integrative medicine (IM) is a dynamic and increasingly prevalent model of primary health care that combines complementary and alternative medicine with mainstream medicine. This research is about the practice of IM and its value to primary health care in Australia. It locates IM within Australian health care by revealing its processes and outcomes in terms of: practice styles, interactions between practitioners and clients and among practitioners, range of diagnostic and treatment options, and health benefits. In this research I examine the nature of integrative medicine (IM) in co-located primary health care practices and consider the influence that integrating mainstream medicine and CAM can have on the perceived quality of primary health care in Australia. My goal was to contribute the knowledge of the phenomenon of IM through a deeper understanding and interpretation of IM gained by investigating the perceptions of core stakeholders, in this case clients and practitioners of IM. This research was situated in the interpretive paradigm and used two research methodologies: hermeneutics (to interpret the value of IM as reported in the literature) and hermeneutic phenomenology (to understand meanings and significance that clients and practitioners attach to their experiences of IM). Data collection involved the collation of existing literature texts and by cumulative case studies (using semi-structured interviews and observation), focus groups, and key informant interviews. Using a blend of methodologies provided a rich and powerful means of understanding the processes and outcomes of IM through the interpretations of its core stakeholders’ lived experiences. In particular I sought perceptions of clients and practitioners of IM about their health and health care including assessment and treatment options, health outcomes, congruence with beliefs and values, collaborative practices and power sharing. Data analysis was conducted concurrently with and subsequent to data collection so that questioning, observation and textual interpretation were progressively guided by the data. A set of meta-themes emerged from the fusion of findings from all phases of the research. These meta-themes represented answers to key research questions. They are: • Power/authority • Mutual respect • Professionalism • Ontological perspectives • Duty of care. This thesis identifies IM practice styles according to different levels of client agency and degrees of power sharing that exist among CAM and mainstream medical practitioners. A theorised model based on the research findings which depicts quality of health care as a variable consequence of diverse practice styles of IM is produced in two parts: Part 1 acknowledges that IM is a variable phenomenon in practice with different levels of collaboration, power-sharing and quality of health care; Part 2 presents an optimum mode of IM practice. Authentically client-centred health care is at the core of all of these practice styles. This thesis has significant implications for the way IM is practised and for primary health care delivery more broadly. IM that is mutually respectful and genuinely collaborative is flexible, inclusive, and socially relevant and has a substantial and far-reaching contribution to make to the quality of primary health care.

Full textN'étant généralement pas considérés comme des professionnels de la santé mentale, les membres du clergé sont régulièrement sollicités comme personnes ressources par des personnes atteintes de maladie mentale. On en connaît peu sur le rôle du clergé dans le domaine de la santé mentale. Le but de cette recherche est d'explorer les expériences et points de vue de pasteurs de l'Église Unie du Canada en réponse aux problèmes de la santé mentale à l'aide de la description qualitative simple. Trois femmes et neuf hommes pasteurs urbains de l'Église Unie du Canada ont été recrutés pour participer à des entrevues semi-structurées. Les entrevues ont été enregistrées, transcrites et analysées. Trois grands thèmes ont émergé : la façon dont les pasteurs mettent leurs services au profit des personnes atteintes de maladie mentale, l'expérience des pasteurs à travailler conjointement avec les professionnels des soins de santé mentale, et les défis restants et les mesures facilitant la prise en charge de ces personnes. Les pasteurs ont déclaré fournir divers services de soutien aux personnes atteintes de maladie mentale. Bien que les pasteurs aient signalé peu de collaboration directe des professionnels des soins de la santé mentale, ils ont déclaré leur diriger régulièrement des personnes soupçonnées d'être atteintes d'une maladie mentale. Finalement, les pasteurs ont déclaré avoir une confiance innée en leur profession et en leur communauté comme intervenants facilitateurs, bien que de nombreux défis se posent au niveau des ressources financières, du temps, de la confiance entre pasteurs et professionnels des soins de la santé mentale, ainsi que de la confiance entre les pasteurs et leurs collègues. Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent que les relations de collaboration entre les professionnels des soins de la santé mentale et les pasteurs de l'Église Unie devraient être encouragées pour mieux servir les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale.

Full textSelf-care is critical in minimizing the symptoms of burnout among human services professionals, but specific information on the role of self-care among social workers in healthcare settings is limited. This correlational study was designed provide a fuller understanding of this relationship. Orem's theory of self-care and the theory of reasoned action and planned behavior served as the theoretical foundations of this study. The sample included 185 members of the National Association of Social Workers, who volunteered to participate in this study. Participants completed online versions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Self-Care Assessment Work Sheet. Correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed to test research hypotheses concerning associations between self-care and aspects of burnout among social workers in healthcare settings. The results showed that higher levels of self-care were significantly correlated with lower scores on measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and higher scores on measures of personal accomplishment. No significant differences were found by practice setting in mean ratings of specified self-care activities. More years of social work practice were associated with lower burnout. Implications for positive social change include highlighting the need for self-care to prevent burnout, promoting health and wellbeing among social workers, and saving organizations the costs associated with employee burnout. Future research on self-care and burnout will be beneficial to the profession to expand current literature and highlight trends between social work practice and client populations served.

Full textA purposive sample was obtained. The data collection methods included qualitative interviews, attendance as an observer at two of the three day National Conferences of Catholic Health Australia and document analysis (see Chapter Three).A key focus of the research was the identification of planning models used to set the strategic context of organisations in Catholic health. The research showed that the prescriptive design and planning models were not used to plan broad strategy, but to implement strategies already formed by an emergent/learning process which, in Mintzberg et al's (1998) terms, would fit the learning, cultural and environmental schools of thought. Pinpointing a strategy school may not be a particularly fruitful exercise in this particular arena. It assumes that the distinctive act of deciding the future shape and the strategic management context of organisations charged with fulfilling a sacred mission can be classified into one school or another. The research also explored the perceptions of the Integration 2000 process, including the compatibility between the espoused philosophies and values of Catholic health and aged care and the behaviours evidenced during the Integration 2000 process. A diagnostic model was used to perform this evaluation. Rather than uncovering major discrepancies, this revealed some differences and some potential challenges.
The espoused philosophies and values of Catholic health and aged care are those of compassion, collaboration, sense of community and, of course, financial viability. Pre-Integration 2000, particularly in health care, theories of organising and practices reflected values of independence and competitiveness, both between and even within religious orders. The findings from post-Integration 2000 suggested that theories of organising and practices were becoming more aligned with the original and continuing values, at the same time as responsibility for sustaining these values was being handed over from religious to lay trusteeship. There are still some outstanding issues before the Integration 2000 process achieves its objectives. The progress to date in bringing together so many components of such a disparate sector attests to the strength of the underlying value systems of Catholic health and aged care.

Full textResearch has shown that people with mental illness who seek treatment from mental health services have improved quality of life. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of stigma on people with mental illness, and how stigma can affect the person's decision to seek treatment for his or her mental condition.
The objected was assessed using secondary data from the 2009 Adult California Health Interview Survey. The initial filtering of the respondents was unable to be performed because Human Subjects Protection laws protect sensitive information from being released in public use data files. I redeveloped my study, focusing primarily on the association between respondents with feelings of depression and whether or not they have health insurance coverage for mental health services.
The results of the analysis proved to be statistically significant, which led to speculation that, even with mental health insurance coverage, the low rates of mental health service utilization was most likely attributed to the impact of stigma. Future research should be conducted on the effects of primary care mental health integration, and how this increased parity impacts the utilization of mental health treatment options.
