  • experience of psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioners in public Mental Health
    Nursing administration quarterly, 2016
    Co-Authors: Bethany J Phoenix, Manton Hurd, Susan A Chapman
    Abstract:

    Expansion of Health insurance coverage under the Accountable Care Act has meant that millions of people are now insured for Mental Health treatment, but with no significant increase in the Mental Health workforce. Services of psychiatric Mental Health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) may be best utilized to improve access to and quality of public Mental Health services if the financial, political, scope of practice, and treatment model barriers that limit their ability or willingness to practice in these settings are better understood. This article reports qualitative results from a study that assessed barriers and best practices in the use of PMHNPs in county Mental Health services in California. Results indicate that PMHNPs are valued for their "whole person" perspective, collaborative approach, and interpersonal communication skills, but that significant knowledge gaps, regulatory constraints, and bureaucratic barriers in public Mental Health systems inhibit PMHNPs from practicing at the top of their scope.

  • Mental Health literacy of Indonesian Health practitioners and implications for Mental Health system development.
    Asian journal of psychiatry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Nurul F. Praharso, Hans Pols, Nikolaos Tiliopoulos
    Abstract:

    Abstract Compared to other countries in the South-East Asian region, Indonesia’s Mental Health system remains underdeveloped from significant treatment gaps, which subsequently contribute to human rights violations of Mental Health patients who do not receive adequate medical care. In line with the introduction of universal Health coverage in 2014, the Indonesian government plans to redress this by delegating detection and early intervention of Mental Health services to Health practitioners without specialist training in Mental Health, however, there is limited evidence that they can perform this role effectively. This study aims to evaluate current workforce capacity by assessing differences in Mental Health literacy between Indonesian Mental Health and non-Mental Health practitioners. Compared to non-Mental Health practitioners, Mental Health practitioners are significantly less likely to hold stigmatising views towards individuals with Mental illness. They are also significantly more likely to correctly recognise symptoms of depression and schizophrenia and recommend and implement evidence-based interventions for these conditions. These findings suggest that task-shifting is unlikely to be an effective solution to reduce the Mental Health treatment gap, and it is recommended that Mental Health system reform in Indonesia should initially focus on expansion and retention of the specialist Mental Health workforce.

  • A national child Mental Health literacy initiative is needed to reduce childhood Mental Health disorders
    The Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Lucy A Tully, Frances L Doyle, David J Hawes, Michael G. Sawyer, Mark R Dadds
    Abstract:

    Half of all lifetime Mental Health disorders emerge in childhood, so intervening in the childhood years is critical to prevent chronic trajectories of Mental Health disorders. The prevalence of child Mental Health disorders is not decreasing despite the increased availability of evidence-based interventions. One key reason for the high prevalence and low treatment uptake may be low levels of child Mental Health literacy in the general community. Mental Health literacy refers to knowledge and beliefs about Mental Health disorders that aid in their recognition, prevention and management. There is emerging evidence of poor recognition of child Mental Health problems in the community and low levels of parental knowledge about how to seek help, along with high levels of stigmatising attitudes. Although Australia has been a world leader in research and practice in improving Mental Health literacy for adolescent and adult Mental Health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety, Mental Health literacy for childhood disorders has been largely overlooked. In order to improve knowledge of child Mental Health disorders, reduce stigma, improve appropriate help-seeking and impact on the prevalence of child Mental Health disorders, we argue that a national initiative focussing on increasing Mental Health literacy for childhood disorders is urgently needed.
