Due to realted studies usually focus on caregivers’ difficulties, needs and adaptation,and “care”is not only responsibilities, pressure, emotional adjusting, living assistance and burden through literature review, but also essentially includes the connection and relationship between families and people with mental illness.The researcher intends to understand the profound caring experience of families of people with mental illness inorder to return the power of interpretation to the caregiving families.This research uses in-depth interview and field observation to collect caring experiences of ten family caregivers of people with mental illness. Through their stories of caring experiences, the researcher has presented family caregivers’ experiences through three dimensions. First is through the interacting stories between families and people with mental illness to reveal diverse caring qualities within different caring situations. Second is through the mutual encountering stories of these caregiving families to externalize caregiving families of people with mental illness as a unique community. Third is through the researcher’s reflections about her interaction and interpreting process to present the researcher’s multiple selves. By doing these, the researcher wish to depict an alternative understanding of careand, therefore, has illuminated the voices of family caregiver through this mutual constructive story.

Full textPolicy makers, service agencies and people with mental illness themselves view employment for people with mental illness as a major concern. This is due to the low rate of employment of people with mental illness, the difficulties many experience in finding and keeping satisfactory jobs, and the perception of paid employment as highly desirable for people with mental illness. The most extensive research on employment for people with mental illness has focused on establishing statistical relationships between various hypothesised predictors of employment success and vocational outcomes. While some attention has been paid to how individuals with mental illness view being employed, this has primarily focused on specific areas such as the benefits of employment, difficulties encountered and coping techniques used. My aim in this research was to develop a theoretical formulation which explains the processes that people with mental illness engage in with regard to employment. Data was gathered by way of in-depth interviews with users of psychiatric services. Some of these participants were employed, others were seeking employment, while others were not engaged in employment-related activities. At the centre of the theoretical formulation is a process I have called negotiating an appropriate vocational place. Using this process, people with mental illness make decisions about actions to take in relation to employment and these may or may not include trying to get and keep a job. Decisions are made by weighing up the benefits and drawbacks of employment and the advantages and risks of different vocational strategies. In doing so, people with mental illness are influenced by the Australian societal context, their individual social networks, their individual characteristics and circumstances (including their mental illness), and their employment options. This process of negotiating an appropriate vocational place is cyclical, ongoing and dynamic, as individuals' views and circumstances change. Knowing that people with mental illness strive toward an appropriate vocational place rather than taking for granted that they are working towards getting a job presents a challenge to policy and practice in which a successful outcome is defined as obtaining and maintaining a paid position in the workforce. Detailing and elaborating the process by which people with mental illness go about negotiating an appropriate vocational place provides a framework for practitioners, policy makers and researchers to understand the decisions made by people with mental illness and their actions in relation to employment. The understanding provided by the findings from this study will assist those working with people with mental illness and those responsible for employment policies to tailor their work more closely to individuals' desired goals. Immediate and longer term research opportunities are identified to apply the theoretical formulation derived from this study to vocational service practice with people with mental illness.

Find full textMental illness historically has had a stigma surrounding it. For years that was my understanding of mental illness as well. To be able to see mental illness and its treatments in a healthy way, I had to suffer a radical change to my life. The beginning of this paper is my story as to how I came to understand mental illness in a different light. Following that, Ch. 2 explores a brief history of mental illness and how it has been treated in society. Next, it delves into the current social narrative about mental health and what the entertainment industry is doing to either help or hurt the de-stigmatization. Lastly, the personal narrative is analyzed. The story an individual tells themselves is influenced by many different elements.
This is something on which more research needs to be done. Individual’s perceptions about mental health impact their likelihood to seek help. To explore this, I surveyed 379 people to address their personal beliefs of mental illness. To analyze the data, I split the respondents into groups of those diagnosed and those that have not been diagnosed. Of the four hypotheses, only one group was supported. After that, I ran a post hoc analysis looking at perceived societal views and that came out much stronger. Additional research needs to be done on perceived societal views and how that impacts an individual’s decision to express concerns or seek help for mental illness.

Full textA mudança na visão sobre as pessoas com experiência de doença mental que, com o decorrer dos anos passaram a ser vistas também como pessoas dotadas de potencialidades para além da problemática, trouxe aos serviços de saúde mental novos desafios, sobre a forma como poderiam ajudar estas pessoas alcançar o seu recovery. Uma das formas, foi adoptando novas práticas que ajudassem as pessoas a ganhar um conhecimento mais ampliado sobre si e sobre as suas potencialidades, como é o caso do Plano de Recovery que, para além de ajudar as pessoas a identificar as suas competências nas diferentes áreas da sua vida, ainda auxilia a definir objectivos para o futuro, tornando-se assim, mais confiantes nas suas escolhas para a sua vida e consequentemente, mais autónomas em relação aos outros, o que provoca um crescimento a nível pessoal.
The change in vision on people with experience of mental illness that, over the years came to be seen also as persons endowed with potential beyond the issue, brought to mental health services new challenges on, how they might help these people achieve their recovery. One of the ways, it was adopting new practices that help people to gain a more expanded knowledge about themselves and about their potential, such as the Recovery Plan that, as well help people identify their skills in different areas of his life, still helps define goals for the future, thus becoming more confident in their choices for their life and consequently more autonomous in relation to others, causing a growth on a personal level.
