Geographic Access to Community Mental Healthcare and Adherence to Treatment Among Patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum DisordersSmith-East, Marie 01 January 2020 (has links) (PDF)
Disparities in access to mental health care for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders continue to exist in the United States despite the creation of mental health policies seeking to improve access to care. As an integral element of healthcare system delivery, access is influenced by spatial (location) and non-spatial (sociodemographic) factors. Highlighting both spatial and non-spatial dimensions of access to mental healthcare, this study employed an innovative approach encompassing the geography of access and the integration of location analyses to bridge the gap between psychosocial dynamics and mental health services for improving cost-effective continuity of care. The aims were as follows: (1) a comprehensive investigation of mental health service accessibility and utilization using geographic information systems (GIS), (2) an examination of the concept of access to mental health care, and (3) a secondary analysis of data involving street networking to investigate whether accessibility (travel time) and selected sociodemographic variables correlated and predicted treatment adherence among adult patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The results from this study will inform future nursing and community interventions for outpatient follow-up care for individuals seeking mental health care services.

Assessment of attitudes related to the management of aggression and violence in four psychiatric hospitalsBock, Theresa Melodie 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MCur)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this descriptive survey was to investigate the attitudes of mental health
care providers with regards to the management of aggression and violence. The
absence of scientific data describing the attitudes of nurses towards the
management of aggression and violence motivated the researcher to conduct this
study. The researcher undertook a descriptive survey to describe the attitudes of
nurses towards the management of aggression and violence.
The management of aggression and violence attitude scale (MAVAS) was
administered to N92 nurses with different qualifications these nurses are employed
in the acute admission units of four psychiatric hospitals in a province in South
Africa.
The results showed no significant differences in attitudes between the different
categories of nurses in most of the questions.
Enough evidence was gathered that indicated, compared to trained staff, staff
without a qualification in psychiatric nursing science had found it difficult to calm
patients down, had not understood the effect of the environment on a patient, had
felt that patients should control their feelings and had lacked the perception of
trained nurses, with regards to the effect of negotiation and poor communication on
violent and aggressive mental healthcare users.
These findings can make significant contributions towards the implementation of
training programmes and policies to assist staff to deal with patient related
aggression and violence. Furthermore the data generated can contribute towards
future research in this field with subsequent expansion of skills programmes. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling van hierdie navorsings studie was om die houding van psigiatriese
gesondheidsdiens voorsieners ten opsigte van die hantering van aggresie en geweld
te bepaal. Die afwesigheid van wetenskaplik gefundeerde data het die navorser
genoop om hierdie studie te onderneem. Die navorser het derhalwe ʼn beskrywende
studie gedoen om die houding van verpleegsters ten opsigte van die hantering van
aggressie en geweld te bepaal.
Die “management of aggression and violence attitude scale” (MAVAS) is deur N92
verpleegsters met verskillende kwalifikasies voltooi. Hierdie verpleegsters is indiens
van vier verskillende psigiatriese hospitale in ʼn provinsie in Suid- Afrika. Die
verpleegsters werk in die akute opname eenhede van die onderskeie hospitale.
Die resultate het geen noemenswaardige verskille tussen die onderskeie kategorieë
verpleegsters se houding teenoor die hantering van aggressie en eweld aangedui
nie.
Genoegsame bewys is ingesamel wat aandui; dat in vergelyking met opgeleide
personeel, personeel sonder ʼn kwalifikasie in psigiatriese verpleeg wetenskappe, dit
moeiliker vind om pasiënte te kalmeer, nie verstaan watter effek die omgewing op ʼn
pasiënt het nie. Dié kategorieë voel pasiënte moet hul gevoellens beheer en het ook
nie dieselfde persepsie ten opsigte van die effek van onderhandeling en swak
kommunikasie op aggressiewe en geweldadige psigiatriese gesondheids diens
verbruikers as hul kollegas nie.
Hierdie bevindings is ʼn belangrike bydrae ten opsigte van die implementering van
opleidings programme en beleid ten einde personeel te ondersteun om pasiënt
verwante aggressie en geweld te hanteer.
Die nuwe data gegenereer deur dié navorsings studie kan bydra tot toekomstige
navorsing in hierdie veld asook gevolglike uitbreiding van vaardigheids programme.

A qualitative, phenomenological, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used. Non-probability sampling of the purposive type was used to explore and describe the experiences of families towards psychiatric state patients during LOA. Data were collected from ten (10) families by using semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Data were audio recorded and field notes were also written. Trustworthiness was ensured by applying credibility, transferability, confirmability and dependability. Transferability was ensured by utilizing purposive sampling to include participants. Confirmability was ensured by collecting data from the participants who have experience on the problem studied. Data were analysed qualitatively by using Tech’s open coding method. Results from the study shows that families experiences uncontrolled and disruptive behaviour from the psychiatric state patients during LOA. Guidelines for the study include: Families of psychiatric state patients should receive counselling and be involved in family therapy prior and after the psychiatric state patient’s LOA.
