    Nov 12 2024
    Welcome to episode 171 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 23 October 2024] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. This week Nicky Lambert and Vanessa Gilmartin spoke with guest Linda Pert about Physical and mental health - Nutrition, sleep and hydration LP - I qualified as a mental health nurse in 1994 in Plymouth. From 1997 I spent over 20 years working in high secure forensic services at Rampton Hospital, I moved to the community setting in 2018 and worked in Bed Management, Crisis Team, Street Triage and a Community Mental Health Team within Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. I have just reached the end of my training to be an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) with Sheffield Hallam University, whilst working in a Community Mental Health Team for Notts Healthcare. I have a new challenge ahead as I am about to return to the ward environment with a new role as an ACP on a psychiatric intensive care unit with Solent NHS Trust. I have a passion for research and sit as Vice Chair on the Chief Nursing Officers Shared Professional Decision Making Council for Research. My specific interest is identifying service gaps and developing ways to address them in my work and that of my team. I have recently written and delivered a training package for my masters dissertation with the aim to improve the physical health of those under our care. My idea is for a bottom-up approach where mental health practitioners engage with patients in such a way as to start to address the real fact that SMI patients die an average of 20 years too soon. Mental and physical health are inextricably linked and I believe we need to have this holistic view in all our patient interactions. It doesn’t require much of a change in our approach, just a little extra knowledge and confidence and a curiosity about all aspects of our patients life and lifestyle.

    The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fifth event on Friday 3 May 2024. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Dr Gary Lamph Title: A World Café Approach that explored perspectives of people with lived experience and occupational experience Background - The diagnosis personality disorder is one which continues to split opinions. Negative connotations, stigma and negativity surrounds the diagnostic category. In recent years a movement to challenge the label and terminology of personality disorder has emerged. Aim – To explore the perspectives of the diagnostic label personality disorder with people with lived and occupational experience in a live conference world café based format. Methods – Adopting a World café participatory method provided a flexible and effective approach to capturing the qualitative views of people in a large group format. Table discussions were hosted using a co-facilitated model to capture the table discussions. Each table had different discussion points pertaining to the diagnostic label. The event ensured that necessary dialogue is developed, delivered and analysed in co-production. The unique methods and delivery will be discussed. Results - This study identified contrasting opinions towards the label of Personality Disorder and provides insight into the concerns described for both keeping and losing the label. Although many felt the words ‘‘personality’’ and ‘‘disorder’’ are not in themselves helpful, certain positive views were also revealed. Perspectives towards the label were influenced by the way in which diagnosis was explained and understood by patients and practitioners, alongside the extent to which service provision and evidence-based interventions were offered.

With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Comensus service user and carer involvement group Title: Comensus service user and carer involvement group, University of Central Lancashire Abstract: Comensus service users and carers have been an integral part of professional health and social care education and development at the University of Central Lancashire for 20 years (Garner et al., 2022; Gordon et al., 2020; Mckeown et al., 2011). Throughout this period, they have also been invited to be part of research opportunities, with colleagues internal to the University and with external partners from practice and academia. A panel of service users and carers have agreed to share their experiences of being involved in qualitative research, both as research participants and more recently, as participant researchers themselves. They will provide a short presentation introducing themselves and their involvement in research activity to date, followed by a Q&A to explore their individual perspectives of being researched, or involved in conducting research.

    The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fifth event on Friday 3 May 2024. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Jesse Ussman Title: The Online Health Information Seeking Behaviour of People of African Descent in the UK Abstract: The current digital transformation has had a significant impact on how people seek health information, including mental health support. This is especially relevant for People of African Descent (PoAD) in the United Kingdom (UK), who face unique barriers to accessing mental health services. This presentation is based on a recent qualitative study that explored the online health information-seeking behaviour (HISB) of PoAD in the UK. The study used reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 21 PoAD aged 20 to 70 years and a mean age of 42.8 (SD ±11.4). Five overarching themes were revealed: internet literacy, attitudes towards social media, obstacles to online health information, trust in professional sources, and cultural influences on HISB. For mental health nurses, it is crucial to provide culturally sensitive mental health support that recognises the unique needs, beliefs, and online behaviours of PoAD. This presentation covers methods for overcoming obstacles to accessing mental health information online, such as addressing concerns about privacy, information overload, and mistrust in online sources. It will also highlight the potential of social media and online platforms in spreading reliable mental health information, improving digital health literacy, and promoting a community-based approach to mental health support. Mental health nurses can help bridge the gap between PoAD and mental health support by understanding and leveraging online HISB. This includes providing reliable and culturally appropriate mental health information and implementing strategies to enhance access to mental health services. The insights from this study offer a valuable framework for mental health nurses to develop inclusive, effective, and accessible mental health care services for PoAD, contributing to improved mental health outcomes and equity in healthcare provision.
