model for investigating the benefits of clinical supervision in Psychiatric Nursing a survey study
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2011Co-Authors: Henrik Gonge, Niels BuusAbstract:The objective of this study was to test a model for analysing the possible benefits of clinical supervision. The model suggested a pathway from participation to effectiveness to benefits of clinical supervision, and included possible influences of individual and workplace factors. The study sample was 136 Nursing staff members in permanent employment on nine general Psychiatric wards and at four community mental health centres at a Danish Psychiatric university hospital. Data were collected by means of a set of questionnaires. Participation in clinical supervision was associated with the effectiveness of clinical supervision, as measured by the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale (MCSS). Furthermore, MCSS scores were associated with benefits, such as increased job satisfaction, vitality, rational coping and less stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. Multivariate analyses indicated that certain individual and workplace factors were related to subscales of the MCSS, as well as some of the benefits. The study supported the suggested model, but methodological limitations apply.

Psychiatric Nursing staff members' reflections on participating in group-based clinical supervision: a semistructured interview study
International journal of mental health nursing, 2011Co-Authors: Niels Buus, Sanne Angel, Michael Traynor, Henrik GongeAbstract:This paper is a report of an interview study exploring Psychiatric hospital Nursing staff members' reflections on participating in supervision. Clinical supervision is a pedagogical process designed to direct, develop, and support clinical nurses. Participation rates in clinical supervision in Psychiatric settings have been reported to be relatively low. Qualitative research indicates that staff members appreciate clinical supervision, but paradoxically, do not prioritize participation and find participation emotionally challenging. Little is known about these contradictory experiences and how they influence participation rates. Twenty-two Psychiatric hospital Nursing staff members were interviewed with a semistructured interview guide. Interview transcripts were interpreted by means of Ricoeur's hermeneutic method. The respondents understood clinical supervision to be beneficial, but with very limited impact on their clinical practice. Neither management nor the staff effectively prioritized clinical supervision, which added to a downward spiral where low levels of participation undermined the potential benefits of clinical supervision. The respondents embraced and used alternative forums for getting emotional support among peers, but maintained that formalized supervision was the only forum for reflection that could solve the most difficult situations.

empirical studies of clinical supervision in Psychiatric Nursing a systematic literature review and methodological critique
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2009Co-Authors: Niels Buus, Henrik GongeAbstract:The objective of this paper was to systematically review and critically evaluate all English language research papers reporting empirical studies of clinical supervision in Psychiatric Nursing. The first part of the search strategy was a combination of brief and building block strategies in the PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. The second part was a citation pearl growing strategy with reviews of 179 reference lists. In total, the search strategy demonstrated a low level of precision and a high level of recall. Thirty four articles met the criteria of the review and were systematically evaluated using three checklists. The findings were summarized by using a new checklist with nine overall questions regarding the studies' design, methods, findings, and limitations. The studies were categorized as: (i) effect studies; (ii) survey studies; (iii) interview studies; and (iv) case studies. In general, the studies were relatively small scale; they used relatively new and basic methods for data collection and analysis, and rarely included sufficient strategies for identifying confounding factors or how the researchers' preconceptions influenced the analyses. Empirical research of clinical supervision in Psychiatric Nursing was characterized by a basic lack of agreement about which models and instruments to use. Challenges and recommendations for future research are discussed. Clinical supervision in Psychiatric Nursing was commonly perceived as a good thing, but there was limited empirical evidence supporting this claim.

the role of a mental health consumer in the education of postgraduate Psychiatric Nursing students the students evaluation
Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 2003Co-Authors: Brenda Happell, Cath RoperAbstract:Recent Australian Government policy reflects the integral nature of active consumer participation to the planning and delivery of mental health services. The effectiveness of consumer participation in improving mental health services has received some attention in the literature. Commonwealth Government funding enabled the development of a partnership between the Centre for Psychiatric Nursing Research and Practice and the Melbourne Consumer Consultants' Group. The successful application enabled the employment of a mental health consumer as an academic staff member of the Centre for Psychiatric Nursing Research and Practice. One important aspect of this role involved the mental health consumer teaching a consumer perspective to postgraduate Psychiatric Nursing students. The primary aim was to increase the students' awareness of and sensitivity to greater consumer participation within the mental health arena. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the consumer academic role in teaching within the Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Clinical Nursing (Psychiatric Nursing). An evaluation form was distributed to students (n = 21) on completion of the semester. The findings suggest the experience was considered beneficial to students and was impacting significantly on their current practice. This project supports the value of consumer participation in the education of mental health professionals.

changing attitudes the role of a consumer academic in the education of postgraduate Psychiatric Nursing students
Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, 2003Co-Authors: Brenda Happell, Jaya Pinikahana, Cath RoperAbstract:Consumer participation in health care is increasingly becoming an expectation within mental health services. Consumer involvement in the education of mental health professionals, including nurses is considered crucial to achieving this aim. This article describes the impact of a mental health consumer academic on the attitudes of postgraduate Psychiatric Nursing students towards consumer participation. A questionnaire was administered to students before (n = 25) and following (n = 19) exposure to the teaching of the consumer academic. Comparison of results suggests that support for consumer participation increases after exposure to the consumer academic reinforcing the value of mental health consumers in Psychiatric Nursing education.

burnout and job satisfaction a comparative study of Psychiatric nurses from forensic and a mainstream mental health service
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2003Co-Authors: Brenda Happell, Trish Martin, Jaya PinikahanaAbstract:Within the Nursing profession stress and burnout are considered to be widely present and problematic. These factors tend to impact negatively on job satisfaction and ultimately affect the retention of nurses. Psychiatric/mental health Nursing as a specialty is considered to be a highly stressful environment; however, there is a paucity of research in this area. The current study adopted a survey design to compare forensic Psychiatric nurses (n = 51) with Psychiatric nurses from a mainstreamed mental health service (n = 78) in relation to burnout and job satisfaction. Forensic nurses displayed lower burnout and higher job satisfaction than their counterparts from the mainstreamed services. These findings are surprising in light of the image of forensic Psychiatric Nursing as dangerous and unpredictable.

who wants to be a Psychiatric nurse novice student nurses interest in Psychiatric Nursing
Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 1999Co-Authors: Brenda HappellAbstract:Available research findings suggest that Nursing students do not regard Psychiatric Nursing as a desirable future career option. This paper addresses the results of a research project conducted by the author. This research addresses the relative popularity of Psychiatric Nursing in comparison to other Nursing specialties, within Victoria, Australia. The research was conducted by use of a questionnaire in which commencing undergraduate Nursing students were asked to rank nine areas of Nursing specialty in order of preference and provide some explanation for their choices. The results indicate that Psychiatric Nursing emerges as the second least popular career choice for student nurses at this stage of their education.

when i grow up i want to be a where undergraduate student nurses want to work after graduation
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 1999Co-Authors: Brenda HappellAbstract:It is assumed that the majority of students undertaking undergraduate Nursing education want to become nurses. Little research, however, has examined the specific areas in which students intend to pursue their careers after graduation. This paper reviews the results of the author's research, which clearly indicates that students have firm preconceived ideas as to the areas in which they wish to practise in the future. Midwifery, paediatrics, operating theatre and critical/intensive care are highly favoured, while working with the elderly, Psychiatric Nursing and community health Nursing are significantly less popular. The implications of this situation for the Nursing profession are considered.

training program in suicide prevention for Psychiatric Nursing personnel enhance attitudes to attempted suicide patients
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2002Co-Authors: Mats Samuelsson, Marie AsbergAbstract:Attitudes of Psychiatric Nursing personnel towards patients who had attempted suicide were examined before and after a training program in Psychiatric suicide prevention. The attitudinal changes were measured by a newly constructed scale, the understanding of suicide attempt patients scale (USP-scale), and responses to three brief clinical vignettes. General understanding and willingness to nurse, as measured by the USP-scale, increased significantly, and the suicide risk of patients described in case vignettes was estimated more accurately after the program. The results suggest that it may be possible to enhance attitudes to attempted suicide patients among Psychiatric Nursing personnel.

attitudes of Psychiatric Nursing personnel towards patients who have attempted suicide
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1997Co-Authors: Mats Samuelsson, Marie Asberg, J P GustavssonAbstract:The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes towards suicidal patients of a group of Psychiatric Nursing personnel (n = 197) and to establish a baseline of attitudinal measures against which the effects of a subsequent educational programme can be assessed. A scale, known as the Understanding of Suicide Attempt Patient Scale (USP Scale) was developed for this purpose. The reliability of the scale was satisfactory, and its correlation with visual analogue scale (VAS) scores based on clinical vignettes suggests that it has validity. Women tended to be more sympathetic than men, and older personnel were more favourably disposed than the younger nurses. Differences between personnel working in different settings were found, which might be explained by differences in the frequency of contact with suicide-prone patients, more frequent exposure being associated with more positive attitudes.
