Abstract
Patient-initiated brief admission (PIBA) allows patients to decide when admission to psychiatric care is necessary. This may prevent long-term hospitalisation and promote patient participation. Research on psychiatric nurses' experiences with PIBA is lacking, therefore 11 nurses were interviewed and data analysed using content analysis. Prominent categories were: improved personal development for the patient, more equal nurse-patient relationship, rapid access to a safe environment and strengthened professional collaboration. PIBA is a helpful intervention for patients in crisis, giving both patients and nurses a sense of security. Future studies should explore how this impacts nurses' work environment and job satisfaction.

Ohtsuka MS, Shannon K, Krüsi A, Lee M, King D, Braschel M, Deering K. Prevalence and Correlates of HIV Disclosure Without Consent Among Women Living With HIV in Metro Vancouver, Canada. AIDS Patient Care STDS 2023; 37:351-360. [PMID: 37432310 PMCID: PMC10354302 DOI: 10.1089/apc.2023.0018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 07/12/2023] Open
Abstract
This study identified the prevalence and perpetrators of HIV disclosure without consent, and social-structural correlates, among women living with HIV (WLWH). Data were drawn from 7 years (September 14 to August 21) of a longitudinal community-based open cohort of cis and trans WLWH living and/or accessing care in Metro Vancouver, Canada. The study sample included 1871 observations among 299 participants. Overall, 160 (53.3%) women reported lifetime HIV disclosure without consent at baseline, and 115 (38.5%) reported HIV disclosure without consent in the previous 6 months during 7 years of follow-up. In a subanalysis (n = 98), the most common perpetrators of HIV disclosure without consent were friends, people in the community, family, health professionals, and neighbors. In multivariable logistic regression analysis with generalized estimating equations, recent (last 6 months) housing insecurity [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.43, 95% confidence interval: (1.10-1.86)], minoritized sexual identities (LGBQ2S) [AOR: 1.84 (1.22-2.78)], recently being treated, monitored, or diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder [AOR: 1.37 (0.98-1.92)], and experiencing physical symptoms related to HIV [AOR: 1.75 (1.25-2.44)] was positively associated with recent disclosure without consent. In a context where HIV nondisclosure before sex is criminalized unless viral load is low and a condom is used, it is concerning that a large proportion of women have experienced HIV disclosure without consent. Laws should focus on protecting rights of WLWH, promoting equity, guaranteeing sexual and reproductive rights, and ensuring access to essential services and privacy. Findings highlight the need for trauma-informed approaches among health and housing services that are responsive to intersections of violence and stigma, and include a focus on confidentiality, autonomy, and safe disclosure practices.

Abstract
Forensic mental health nurses (FMHN) provide care to address the needs of people who have mental illnesses across a range of diverse settings. The Clinical Reasoning Cycle (CRC) has been identified as a potential framework to assist FMHNs; however, adaptations were required to reflect the unique nature of the clinical setting. This study aimed to explore adaptations made to determine suitability prior to implementation in practice. Nominal Group Technique was used to explore suggested adaptations determined from a previous study and reach a consensus on the changes. Fourteen senior nurses from a state-wide Forensic mental Health (FMH) service participated. A consensus was reached for two proposed changes. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three main themes were interpreted from the data; FMH adaptations are warranted, the focus of the CRC, and who owns the cycle? Nurses in this study considered the need to include offence and risk issues due to the impact these factors have on the therapeutic relationship and cognitive bias; however, they also identified the need to focus on recovery-oriented care while engaging in clinical reasoning. Nurses in this study also expressed some reluctance for nursing to 'own' the model, due to concern that ownership may cause division among the team or result in inconsistency in care. However, some participant's suggested the CRC with adaptations assisted FMH nurses to articulate their specialist skills and knowledge to others and highlight the nursing contribution to care. Further work is needed to finalize adaptations with a focus on engaging the consumer carer workforce and interdisciplinary team.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:4614. [PMID: 36901624 PMCID: PMC10002244 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20054614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The mental health recovery model is based on shared decision making, in which patients' preferences and perceptions of the care received are taken into account. However, persons with psychosis usually have very few opportunities to participate in this process. The present study explores the experiences and perceptions of a group of patients with psychosis-in some cases longstanding, in others more recently diagnosed-concerning their participation in the decisions taken about the approach to their condition and about the attention received from healthcare professionals and services. For this purpose, we performed a qualitative analysis of the outcomes derived from five focus groups and six in-depth interviews (36 participants). Two major themes, with five sub-themes, were identified: shared decision-making (drug-centred approach, negotiation process, and lack of information) and the care environment and styles of clinical practice as determinants (aggressive versus person-centred environments, and styles of professional practice). The main conclusions drawn are that users want to participate more in decision making, they want to be offered a range of psychosocial options from the outset and that their treatment should be based on accessibility, humanity and respect. These findings are in line with the guidelines for clinical practice and should be taken into account in the design of care programmes and the organisation of services for persons with psychosis.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT Peer-support services was started in the 1970s psychiatric survivor movement in the United States of America (USA) due to the lack of transitional support for deinstitutionalized psychiatric patients. Delivered by peer-support workers (PSWs) with lived experiences of mental health conditions, peer-support workers use their experiential knowledge to help others with similar conditions. The paradigm shifts in mental health recovery has led to an increase in interest on peer-support services among the Asia countries. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: The diversity political and cultural differences in Asia makes it a unique for people to understand the mental health ecosystem that exist within. This review is timely as it provides the insights into the current state of peer-support services for mental health consumers in Asia and the future research on them. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: First, this review provided a broad overview on the current types of peer-support services and their implementation in Asia. Second, emphasized the importance and value of peer-support services for individuals with mental health conditions in their journey towards recovery. Third, important to build a more positive image for peer-support workers by assigning more clarity to their roles and systematizing training to hone their skills in providing peer support. ABSTRACT Introduction The increasing recognition and need for recovery-oriented services led to the heightened interests of peer-support services globally, including Asia. However, little is known about the peer-support services in Asia as compared to the West, where peer-support services primarily originated from and are well established. Aim To examine available evidence on the implementation of peer-support services for such consumers in Asia. Method This scoping review was based on the Arksey & O'Malley's framework. A comprehensive search was performed across seven electronic databases. The grey literature was also searched through Open Grey and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, alongside hand searching of the reference of the studies. Articles searched was from January 2000 to December 2021. Results Three main themes were identified to provide an overview on peer-support services for mental health consumers in Asia: the delivery of such services in Asia; Asian consumers' perceptions of them; and factors affecting their implementation. Discussion Given their relative novelty in Asia, findings from this review represent useful insights for organizations and policy administrators when formulating such services. Implications for Practice Future research should also focus on evaluating the effectiveness of such services in Asia and comparing their outcomes with other regions.

Experiences of how brief admission influences daily life functioning among individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and self-harming behaviour. J Clin Nurs 2021; 31:2910-2920.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore experiences of how brief admission influences daily life functioning among individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and self-harming behaviour. BACKGROUND Brief admission (BA) is a crisis nursing intervention designed to reduce long hospitalisations and the risk of suicide. The intention of the intervention is to develop autonomy and to encourage the patient to take responsibility for and control over their own care and treatment. There are studies in the area that target individuals with psychosis and bipolar disorders, but no previous studies have been found examining how BA impacts upon daily life functioning among people with BPD who self-harm. DESIGN A descriptive qualitative design was chosen. METHODS Data were collected using qualitative individual interviews with 16 patients with BPD and self-harming behaviour who had been assigned to BA. The data were analysed using conventional content analysis. The study was conducted in accordance with COREQ guidelines. RESULTS The results show that BA was perceived as a functioning nursing intervention that promoted self-determination and self-care. This contributed to increased security in daily life. BA made it possible for individuals to maintain everyday routines, employment and relationships more easily. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that BA was experienced to have a positive impact on daily life functioning. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Brief admission enabled the balance of power to be shifted from the nurse to the patient, and provides conditions for patients to take responsibility for their mental condition and to become aware of early signs of deterioration, in line with the basic ideas of person-centred care.

Abstract
Background While increasingly discussed in somatic care, the concept of patient participation remains unsettled in psychiatric care, potentially impeding person‐centred experiences. Objective To describe outpatient psychiatric care patients’ conceptualization of patient participation. Design An exploratory survey. Setting and participants Patients in four psychiatric outpatient care units. Variables Patients conceptualized patient participation by completing a semi‐structured questionnaire, including optional attributes and free text. Data were analysed using statistics for ordinal data and content analysis for free text. Results In total, 137 patients (69% of potential respondents) completed the questionnaire. The discrete items were favoured for conceptualizing patient participation, indicating a primary connotation that participation means being listened to, being in a reciprocal dialogue, learning about one's health care and managing one's symptoms. Additional free‐text responses acknowledged the attributes previously recognized, and provided supplementary notions, including that patient participation is about mutual respect and shared trust. Discussion What patient participation is and how it can be facilitated needs to be agreed in order to enable preference‐based patient participation. Patients in outpatient psychiatric care conceptualize participation in terms of both sharing of and sharing in, including taking part in joint and solo activities, such as a reciprocal dialogue and managing symptoms by yourself. Conclusion While being a patient in psychiatric care has been associated with a lack of voice, an increased understanding of patient participation enables person‐centred care, with the benefits of collaboration, co‐production and enhanced quality of care. Patient contribution Patients provided their conceptualization of patient participation in accordance with their lived experience.

Abstract
AIMS Sensory-based approaches, including sensory room, sensory cart and specific sensory integration programs, feature various sensory stimulations to focus on a particular space or program. This systematic mixed-methods review describes the impact of sensory-based approaches in psychiatric care and summarizes the important components of sensory interventions. DESIGN Systematic mixed-methods review was based on the guidelines by Pluye and Hong for comprehensively searching, appraising and synthesizing research evidence. DATA SOURCES Data were collected from five databases: CINAHL, Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science and Cochrane before March 9, 2020. REVIEW METHODS Qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods and original studies published in English on sensory-based approaches in psychiatric care were included. The studies were selected by screening titles, abstracts and full texts, and the quality of each study was assessed by two researchers independently. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Sixteen studies were chosen for review. Through data integration, four subthemes with positive effects were formed: (1) calming of the patient's mood; (2) calming of the patient's body; (3) improvement of self-care ability; and (4) improvement of the nurse-patient relationship. The sensory-based approach may also lead to negative effects. CONCLUSIONS Several important components play important roles in the sensory-based approaches: (1) rich, culture-based, personalized sensory stimulation; (2) a quiet, safe, home-based physical environment; (3) a good one-to-one nurse-patient relationship; (4) and the cultivation of patient autonomy and self-management. Sensory-based approaches in a multicultural environment and home environment will be important topics of psychiatric care in the future. IMPACT There is a lack of synthesis of studies on results of sensory-based approaches in psychiatric care. Four components are important to sensory interventions. It is necessary for mental health service centres and home care for the patients with psychotic disorders to use sensory-based approaches for reference.
