▼ This thesis addresses the growing number of inmates with a mental illness in correctional facilities in Canada which continues to attract public attention and concern. Several explanations have been put forward to explain the rise in the number of inmates with a mental illness. These include: the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill that began in the 1970’s, lack of treatment availability for those released into the community, and criminalization of persons with a mental illness by the justice system. The increasing numbers of persons with a mental illness in the correctional system has led to serious concerns about the capacity of this system to manage, treat, and rehabilitate individuals with a mental illness. Lack of proper treatment, management, rehabilitation and monitored discharge means that inmates with serious mental illness are more likely to come into contact with the criminal justice system more frequently. This thesis examines the incidence seriously mentally ill offenders and their propensity to recontact. Three hundred and ninety eight face-to-face assessments were conducted using the Resident Assessment Instrument-Mental Health 2.0 (RAI-MH) and from total scores from the Level of Service Inventory Ontario Revision (LSI-OR). These assessments were conducted in 14 Ontario Provincial Correctional facilities during the years 2005-2008. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was conducted to assess recontact rates for serious mentally disordered and non-mentally disordered offenders. With regards to recontact, no differences were revealed between the seriously mentally ill offender and non-mentally ill offender. This null finding on recontact is very surprising given the current literature on the seriously mentally ill. An additional finding revealed that for offenders with or without a serious mental illness, having a higher score on the scale of criminogenic tendencies (LSI-OR) increased rates for recontact. Another surprising finding is that seriously mentally ill offenders were more likely to commit minor crimes upon release, rather than violent crimes as current literature suggests. A more accurate research tool, as well as a larger sample size, will be required to assess the validity of these results. The implications of the negative outcome with respect to recontact and issues of identifiable risk factors for recidivism for both seriously mentally ill and non-mentally ill inmate populations are discussed in relation to outcomes in terms of both improvements to Corrections policy and theories of criminology. It is important to continue research in this area, to determine the true gravity of the incidence and recontact rates of mentally ill offenders.

▼ The ubiquity of mental illness and its exponential growth in the US has made it the primary “medical disability” of our time. This pervasiveness and the destructive force behind it to destroy human spirit demands an urgent attention not only from medical community, and social policy makers, but also from the church. In the history of Christian communities, mental illness has tended to be viewed as some form of malignant manifestation that stands against the will and rule of God. It has thus tended to evoke a response from within the church. Today, for the most part, that response has been delegated to the medical profession and the state. The issue of mental illness has invited many debates in the current philosophical and scientific realms. In this thesis I will present a historical analysis which outlines something of the roots of how we have come to frame mental illness in contemporary America. The twentieth century saw an astronomical rise in the popularity of the biological sciences as explanatory frameworks for everything related to human beings. Psychiatry has attempted to develop a scientific context to capitalize on that success and create a framework for how we view and name those experiences that make up the criteria “mental illness.” We will evaluate those attempts and seek to explore the challenges of modern psychiatry in normalizing human behavior based on scientific theories. The intention of this study is to determine whether the church could or should intervene in such encounters, and if so, what such an intervention might look like. Mental anguish can cripple individuals in variety of ways. Among all manifestations of distress, anxiety, fear, and mental confusion, nothing can be more destructive than what psychiatry has called “schizophrenia.” This has been the most elusive, cruel, and puzzling “mental disorder” of all times, leading to prolonged disability and inten Mental anguish can cripple individuals in variety of ways. Among all manifestations of distress, anxiety, fear, and mental confusion, nothing can be more destructive than what psychiatry has called “schizophrenia.” This has been the most elusive, cruel, and puzzling “mental disorder” of all times, leading to prolonged disability and intense personal suffering. Furthermore, it attacks the core of a person’s consciousness, sense of identity, humanity and ability to relate to others and to God. This thesis proposes a biblically based Christian framework for interpreting the phenomenon of “schizophrenia” through a theological reflection on the experience quite apart from what psychiatry may or may not have to say. It will be argued that not only is “schizophrenia” not pathological, but rather it touches on the most fundamental fragilities of the human soul—hence, it is a very critical pastoral issue. We will argue that madness ought to be recognized as a phenomenon, both theological and teleological, with a deep prophetic voice, exposing our state of sinfulness, calling the church into repentance. Given that, we will explore how the church…

▼ The problem of readmissions of the mentally ill adults is widespread and it has continued over many years. It occurs in the people of all racial background and social economic groups.Chainama Hills Hospital in Zambia has not been spared from this phenomenon. Readmission of the mentally ill adults has been associated with adverse outcomes on the clients, their families and the readmitting institution. Unfortunately very little in terms of research has been done in Zambia on this topic. This has necessitated this study to be conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with readmissions of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka Zambia. A cross Sectional design study was conducted. Qualitative and Quantitative methods were used to collect date. Two hundred and thirty (230) and 0ne hundred and fifty (150) of relatives to patients(care givers) and patients respectively who were readmitted and who came for review to Chainama Hills Hospital were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The participants were selected consecutively as they came for readmission and review. To complement data from the survey, two focus group discussions (comprising 8 participants for group 1 and 10 participants for group 2) was conducted. The sample provided 95% power of confidence and p- value of 0.05.Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. The prevalence was established to be 19.72%.The study finding revealed that beer intake and bad socio-cultural practices were significantly associated with readmission of the mentally ill adults. The study further found that factors such as sex of being male, age of being more than 35years , education, employment, being single, distance of12km and more from nearest mental health facility, taking more than 2hours to reach the nearest mental health facility, diagnosis of schizophrenia, smoking, type of substance smoked, not taking drugs according to prescribed frequency and overall treatment compliance showed no association with readmission of the mentally ill adults after multivariate analysis was done. However in other similar studies these same factors were found to be statistically significance. The study findings accepts the alternative hypothesis which states that there is a relationship between demographic characteristics, lack of compliance to treatment and socio-cultural mpractices and high rates of readmissions of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka. In conclusion beer drinking and bad socio-cultural practices were associated with high rates of readmission of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital.It was recommended that mass education of the communities be embarked on to discourage bad social practices by communities and the patients so as to reduce relapses and rehospitalisation.

▼ Aim To describe psychiatric nursing students’ stereotypical beliefs associated with mental illness labels and the potential mediating effects of information provided from curriculum content and contact through clinical placement. Methodology Four nursing campuses were sampled, resulting in one hundred and thirty two (n=132) participants. Participants remained the same for all three phases of the repeated measure. A quantitative approach, non-experimental survey design with repeated measures made use of a self-report questionnaire. Section A included demographic data (age, gender and cultural group), while Section B consisted of a semantic differential measure (SDM) focusing on three mental illness labels; schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and bipolar mood disorder. Data was collected on the first day of the psychiatric nursing training block, the last day of the training block, and the first day of the second training block, after approximately six weeks of clinical placement in specialist psychiatric settings. Results Participant scores suggested greater negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the schizophrenia label in all the three phases of data collection. The bipolar mood disorder label was the least associated with negative stereotypical beliefs. Information given during the initial teaching block and contact during the clinical placement period resulted in a slight reduction of negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the schizophrenic label. In contrast negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the bipolar mood disorder label were increased slightly after information and contact. Conclusion and recommendation The results of the study confirmed that health care professionals are not different from the general population in their negative stereotypical beliefs towards mental illness labels. A review of the proposed new nursing curriculum should specifically include emphasis on psychosocial rehabilitation. In addition, clinical placement of the student nurses must be designed to ensure interaction with mental health care users engaged in recovery and community integration to remove perceptions of inability to recover associated with mental illness labels (Adewuya & Oguntade, 2007; Adewuya & Makanjuola, 2008; Corrigan, 2007; Smith, 2010).

▼ There are many factors that have been said to play a part in the cause of mental disorders. However mental illness in Zambia is largely influenced by socio-cultural factors (Msoni, 1990).Mental Health Services in Zambia were established twenty six years ago but to date, only 20% of the estimated population suffering from mental disorders has been covered. Understanding the disease, identification, treatment and rehabilitation of those affected by mental disorders and many more. The available records indicate that m.ore people seek psychiatric treatment nowadays than before. In 1962 when the hospital opened only 281 cases were recorded. Over the years more people sought psychiatric treatm.ent and the numbers increased as follows; 1986 fourteen thousand, 1987 eighteen thousand, 1989 eighty two thousand and in 1990 one hundred and eighteen thousand people were treated for various disorders (Annual Mental Health Report).Frequently, patients who had been previously discharged end up being re-admitted presenting different symptoms from, the previous admission or having similar manifestations but in a deteriorated state. For instance in 1990 total annual admissions v/ere 118,457 of which only 29,485 were new cases but the rest were re- admissions. The figures show; that the number of people seeking treatment for the first time is less than that of those who had been previously treated. On the basis of the above, it is fair to assume that proper rehabilitation is lacking within the community v/here patients live after discharge. The study is an attempt to establish whether socio¬economic factors have an effect on the relapse of the mentally ill. This study is also intended to enlighten those who may not understand the problems of mental disorders. The study is confined to Chainama Hills Hospital and the compounds of Lusaka urban district due to limited resources. It is an exploratory survey with a sampling frame comprising 40 male and female patients in the ratios of 25 to 15 respectively who have been admitted to Chainama Hills Hospital more than six times within the past four years. 40 relatives of patients and 20 professionals added up to make 100 respondents. A simple random, sampling technique was used so that every respondent had an equal opportunity of being chosen. The data v/as collected by personal interviews using a question guide and also by use of a structured questionnaire to the professionals. Data analysis included the use of percentages, frequency tables and cross-tabulations.The findings of the study reveal close association between socio-economic factors and frequent relapses of the mentally ill. In terms of incidence, the findings reveal that 37.5% of the total sam.ple were between 15-35 years while those between 35 to 40 and above years accounted for only 12.5%. This indicates that generally it is the youth that experience more problems of mental disorders. Secondly, this is due to the fact that 80% of the Zambian population is dominated by the youth. To a large extent the findings have shown that…

▼ Background The population of seniors is increasing rapidly. Currently, seniors represent 14.1% of the population of Canada and 14.4% of the population of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), rates that are expected to further increase to 30% by 2041 and 2026, respectively. There is ongoing debate regarding whether mental illness (MI) is more or less prevalent in seniors compared with other age cohorts and whether or not they receive needed services. The purpose of this research study was to first compare the use of acute care in-patient hospital services (Length of stay (LOS), Acute LOS, ER wait time, Rate of admission (ROA), RIW and cost) of seniors with and without MI in the province of NL and explore key predictors of service use. Method This descriptive-comparative research design using aggregate population level data from the NL Center for Health Information (NLCHI) databases included all people aged 65 years and older admitted to an acute care hospital in the province of NL (12,502) with and without MI codes in 2008-2009. Dependent variables included LOS, ALOS, ROA, ER waiting time, RIW and cost. In addition, numerous other demographics and admission and discharge information were assessed. Results Results indicated that only 10% of seniors had a MI code applied to their hospital admission however, they had a significantly longer LOS, ALOS, ROA, ER wait time, RIW and cost than did seniors without MI codes. Even after controlling for co-morbidities, seniors with MI codes still used significantly more resources. Further, while female seniors with MI were greater users of services, males were more expensive to maintain in hospital. Urban seniors most often had MI codes and consumed more hospital resources compared to seniors from rural areas. Conclusion Although the overall prevalence of MI in seniors in this study was low, their use of acute hospitals and associated costs was high and even excessive at times, compared to seniors without MI codes. Further, although acute care hospitals are the main focal point to stabilize seniors with MIs, the acute environment not only jeopardizes seniors’ mental health, but their mental and physical health as well.

▼ Mental health research suggests incarcerated adolescents display similar rates of behavioural and emotional disorders as youth in psychiatric care. Several factors appear to be related to psychological problems during adolescence, including: intellectual disability; unhealthy family environments; childhood abuse (sexual, physical and emotional abuse, and neglect); substance abuse; and poverty. In addition factors such as parental mental illness, lack of perceived support, divorce, and single-parent families have been linked to mental illness in adolescence. However, recent research indicates that a number of factors, such as personality traits, social support, and emotional intelligence, may act as mediators or protective factors against developing mental illness in adolescence. The current study examined the rate of different forms of psychological disturbance in a group of adolescents involved in the youth justice system compared to a general high school sample (N = 145). Further, the study attempted to identify the combination of emotional, intellectual, and psychosocial risk and protective factors that best predict mental health status within these groups of adolescents. The rate of psychological disturbances between the groups was examined using MANOVA and MANCOVA, with the risk and protective factors for mental illness being examined with logistic regression techniques. The MANCOVA results identified significant differences between the youth justice and high school groups across five mental illness subscales: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Substance Abuse, and Adjustment Disorder. The youth justice group was found to display significantly higher scores on these five subscales. Binary logistic regression analyses identified a pattern of intellectual, emotional and psychosocial factors that contribute to the prediction of clinically significant mental health problems for both groups of adolescents. Some of the key factors identified include neuroticism, criminal conviction history, psychoticism, stress management skills, higher general mood, and intrapersonal skills. While the results for the differences between the groups on the psychopathology subscales are consistent with previous research, the number of predictive factors that contributed to risk for mental illness were fewer than previously identified. The results of the present study will enable the development of screening tools to identify those adolescents in youth detention that are at highest risk of emerging psychological disorders. Use of a screening tool has the potential to significantly improve mental health outcomes due to such an instrument being able to indicate a need for early intervention.

▼ The present study aimed at exploring varied experiences of stigma, discrimination and human rights faced by persons with mental illness within different settings like family, health care and work setting, factors that either strengthened or nullified stigma and discrimination and to further explore the coping strategies used against experiences of stigma and discrimination. The research study was done using qualitative method. People recovering from schizophrenia and their caregivers were interviewed using interview guide that highlighted broad themes namely demographic profile of the researched, illness profile, family relations, work, social interaction, health care system and day care centre/support group and/ or counselling participation. The findings revealed experiences of stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental illness within family, both natal and marital. Gender differences in experiences of discrimination in form of violence and denial of rights were apparent due to the patriarchal societal setting. Family support and acceptance played robust role in nullifying stigma and discrimination. Furthermore, family support was determined by caregiver s sense of stigma, pre-morbid acceptance of the researched, caregivers participation in treatment process and their knowledge about the illness. Families with daughters of marriageable age sensed greater stigma which they tried to overcome by assuming a proactive role in treatment initiation and adherence. Findings also indicated that siblings who were yet to accomplish their personal and professional life goals sensed greater stigma thereby distancing themselves from the researched. Findings also indicated researched s experiences of discrimination and rights violation within workplace setting in form of removal from job, denial of promotion and non assignment of responsible tasks on ground of mental illness. Counsellors and support groups played a significant role in vocational rehabilitation of the researched thereby suggesting the potential role of support groups and counsellors in nullifying stigma and discrimination in the external environment. Stigma and discrimination was faced within health care setting in form of poor or absence of communication about illness, and coercive treatment during hospitalization. Irrespective of nature of health care setting, researched experienced rude treatment from hospital staff in form of isolation, being tied up when they were violent during their hospital stay. Researched who had access to counselling and/or associated themselves with day care centre or support groups were immensely helped in the process of recovery. Findings also suggested researched s acceptance of rude and harsh behaviour during treatment process due to helplessness of their condition and poor awareness about their rights. With regard to coping strategies, study revealed limited strategies of researched to cope against discrimination within family setting. Dependence on the perpetrator of violence and unemployment were two factors associated… Advisors/Committee Members: Nadkrani, Vimla V.

D.Phil. (Social Work)

The research question answered in this thesis is: What is the place (role, attitude, aim) of medical social work as a component in the treatment of mental illness in a general hospital? Since the medical staff at a general hospital are primarily concerned with the treatment of physical illness, it is expected that the place and role of the medical social worker, as well as the mentally ill patient, create problems with role-functioning in this primary medical setting. In a general hospital, where life and death are vital issues, the doctor plays a major role in the treatment process and social workers and other persons, in ancilliary professions are expected to render a subordinate and secondary service. The patient's problems with role-functioning occur prior to admittance, during hospitalization and after discharge. In the process of becoming a patient the difference between the medical and psychiatric sick role is accentuated. Problems after discharge include unemployment and the fulfilment of roles such as marriage partner, roommate, neighbour, colleague and employer as determined by the social distance scale. Legislation, especially the Health Act (Act 63 of 1977) and the Mental Health Act (Act 18 of 1973) has made provision for psychiatric services to be incorporated in the general health services of the RSA and for the mentally ill to be treated in general hospitals. Despite the community-oriented approach, stigma is still attached to mental illness and the general public remains relatively ignorant regarding mental illness. One way of researching the influence of stigmatic labels in determining reactions to persons who are mentally ill is to investigate the attitudes of various sections of the community, including professionals in the health field. Attitudes towards mentally and public perception of the signs and symptoms of mental illness have for several years been the subject of considerable concern and research. The empirical data used in this study was obtained from collating the views of staff members attached to four training hospitals in South Africa. The investigation covered their knowledge of and attitude towards mental illness and the mentally ill patient. It al so determined whether respondents showed prejudice towards the treatment of the mentally ill patients in general hospitals. An analysis of the empirical data according to occupation indicates that professionals qualified in the human sciences comprise the smallest component of the personnel structure in hospitals. Compared to other personnel this group shows a more favourable attitude towards treatment of mentally ill patients in general hospitals and the acceptance and employment of mentally ill persons in the community. Although medical social work quantitatively form the smaller component in the treatment of mental illness in a general hospital it has a significant contribution to make with regard to the following aspects of social work service delivery: humanising the hospital system and the home environment of…

▼ Background Undernutrition in mental illness remains a major problem. However, limited attention has been paid to addressing the problem. In Zambia, there is paucity of information on this subject. This study aimed at establishing the prevalence of undernutrition and determining the association between undernutrition and mental illness, using body mass index (BMI, kg/m²), at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka. The study also investigated socio- demographic factors associated with undernutrition in mental illness. Methods A descriptive cross sectional study based on quantitative approaches involving 412 men and women was conducted at Chainama Hills Hospital. A short questionnaire was administered after obtaining a written informed consent. Patients were examined by the Principle Investigator. The weight (Kg) and height (m) and resulting BMI were measured using a standardized scale, stadiometer and BMI calculator respectively. The diagnosis of mental illness and current medication was obtained from the patient’s medical file as indicated by the attending Psychiatrist. The classification of mental illness is based on the DSM V manual. Bivariate and multivariate analysis with Stata v 13.1was carried out. Results The prevalence of undernutrition in the study was 29% across all mental illness types seen at the time. The prevalence was higher among patients with Alcohol use disorders (38%). The odds of undernutrition was significantly higher among Alcohol use disorders than any other type of mental illness odds ratio (OR) = 2.7 (P<0.001, 95% CI), adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.5 (P<0.01, 95%CI). The odds of undernutrition was much lower among patients with Convulsive disorder OR= 0.24 (P= 0.04, 95%CI), aOR= 0.28 (P=0.04, 95%CI). After adjusting for socio-demographic factors, the odds were still higher in Alcohol use disorders aOR= 2.1 (P<0.01, 95%CI), and still lower among Convulsive disorders aOR= 0.31 (P=0.06, 95%CI). Factors associated with undernutrition included male gender, low level of education, low social economic status and hospitalization. Conclusion The prevalence of undernutrition in Mental illness was 29% in this study. Alcohol use disorders were strongly associated with undernutrition while Convulsive disorders were protective. Based on the results of this, treatment of Alcohol use disorders should always include appropriate nutritional supplementation. Anthropometric measurements should be routine for all patients at the hospital. This will reduce morbidity in mental illness due to undernutrition. It is strongly recommended that a policy to regulate the drinking habits and patterns in Zambia be put in place. This should help to reduce avoidable mental illness morbidity due to Alcohol abuse.

▼ Adults with serious mental illness bear a disproportionate burden of physical health conditions and die earlier than persons in the general population. The causes of health disparities among persons with serious mental illness are multiple and complex. However, it is theorized that differences in health between different groups are caused, at the root, by differences in social and structural factors. Structural stigma, or “societal-level conditions, cultural norms, and institutional policies that constrain the opportunities, resources and well-being of the stigmatized” (Hatzenbuehler & Link, 2014, p.2) have been found to be an important determinant of health among sexual minority populations, but there is a dearth of research examining the relationship between structural stigma and the physical health of persons with mental illness. This study explored the relationship between structural stigma and differential, health-related outcomes for persons with and without serious mental illness. This was examined through a cross-sectional, multilevel analysis of the association of state-level structural stigma measures (e.g., number of U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission charges with a mental health basis per capita, State Mental Health Agency expenditures per capita) in three domains (investment in mental health, availability and receipt of mental health services, and unfair treatment) and diabetes, obesity, and self-rated health. Controlling for state-level poverty and individual risk factors, significant relationships between structural stigma and health were found in two domains, investment and mental health and availability and receipt of mental health services. Few of the relationships had a differential impact on persons with serious mental illness, suggesting that structural stigma also limits the opportunities, resources, and well-being of persons that don’t have serious mental illness. Implications for research, practice, policy and advocacy, and education are discussed.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Objectives: The Attribution Model of mental illness stigma posits that attributions about the causes and controllability of mental illness contribute to prejudicial emotional reactions, which in turn may lead to discriminatory behaviors towards people with mental illnesses. Given that people make different assumptions about different mental illnesses, if this model is correct, it suggests that specific diagnoses would elicit different types of stigma. Another important, but unexamined, predictor is extrinsic religious orientation, which correlates positively with other types of prejudice and may predict higher levels of mental illness stigma. The purpose of this study was to test the Attribution Model of stigma and examine the relationships between diagnosis, religious orientation, and stigma. Methods: Participants (n = 334) were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk, randomized to read one of three vignettes about a person with a mental illness (i.e., schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa, depression), and completed measures of mental illness stigma, religious orientation and affiliation, familiarity with mental illness, and authoritarianism. Using latent variable path analysis, analysis of covariance, and multiple regression analyses, relationships in the Attribution Model of mental illness stigma were assessed, as well as the impact of diagnosis and extrinsic religiosity on specific aspects of stigma as measured by the Attribution Questionnare-27 subscales (i.e., blame, anger, pity, danger/fear, avoidance, segregation, and coercion). Results: Assessment of the Attribution Model indicated moderate overall model fit after respecification. Path coefficients indicated strong relationships between variables that were generally consistent with paths predicted by the model. One notable exception was that feelings of pity were not associated with greater helping behaviors. Analysis of covariance suggested that diagnosis was a key predictor of stigma, and that schizophrenia was the most stigmatized. Multiple regression analyses revealed that extrinsic religiosity was also an important predictor of stigma; extrinsic religiosity appeared to increase certain types of stigma, and moderate the relationship between diagnosis and stigma overall. Discussion: Although the respecified Attribution Model fit the data fairly well, the findings suggest that either the scale or the model would benefit from further refinement. Results support prior evidence that severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia are more stigmatized than other diagnoses. Extrinsic religiosity was also predictive of increased stigma, both directly and indirectly. As a moderator, extrinsic religiosity may decrease the impact of diagnosis on stigma, raising stigma for diagnoses perceived as more “controllable” (i.e., anorexia nervosa, depression) such that levels were similar to schizophrenia. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

▼ New Zealand has a high rate of mental disorders affecting 1 in 5 people. Current guidelines only outline building typologies and do not question the deeper affect of one’s perception of the built environment. This thesis seeks to help understand the affect of architecture on mental illness: specifically the condition of depression. In order to comprehend the relationship between architecture/space and its inhabitant, this thesis will firstly investigate how intangible elements such as colour, light; form etc. can alter the perception and experience of space. Secondly through case studies, text and drawings the thesis will examine the affect of the intangibles on the state of mental illness/depression. The negative aspect of architecture activating depression will be examined. This will assist in understanding how architecture can positively affect occupants of space with depression. Architecture and its relationship with depression will be examined to conclude whether it is a contributing factor. Architecture as therapy or as a therapeutic agent is proposed to engage aspects of the intangible. Investigation and comprehension of depression will lead to the selection of the site and a specific programme; then develop analysis to draw conclusions creating design considerations for treatment facilities. Furthermore it will translate ideas and theories from the framework into tangible physical identities. In depth critical analysis of existing precedents and understanding historical facilities is a key part of this research, building upon discovered issues. A case study design is aimed at creating architecture as therapy, which better understands the relationship of the ‘intangible’ in architecture. This thesis will propose a strategy to develop the specificity of architecture for therapy, to assist in addressing the specific treatment of severe depression in a New Zealand context, with the hope of increasing the success of therapy and rehabilitation.

▼ Depression is a common mental illness characterized by low mood, loss of interest and enjoyment, and reduced energy leading to diminished activity. An estimated 322 million people worldwide or 4.4% of the world’s population experience depression at any given time. The figures for Ireland suggest that 212,555 people in Ireland are currently experiencing depression. Driving is important for many individuals with depression as it contributes to health and quality of life by maintaining independence, fostering a sense of self, facilitating social participation and access to health/medical services and the community and as such can be classified as an occupation enabler. However, the evidence would suggest the individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis have an almost double risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. This could be attributed to the impact of the depression itself with deficits in cognition and psychomotor retardation commonly reported or the side-effects of psychotropic medication. Currently, in Ireland there is no national consensus on the process of determining fitness to drive (FtD) for individuals with depression reflecting what is occurring internationally because of limited scientific evidence about what constitutes an adequate FtD assessment with this population As Consultant psychiatrists, General practitioners and occupational therapists in Ireland are the most likely health care professionals to be involved in FtD decision making with individuals with depression, this thesis has two components which aim to explore: o What are the current attitudes of health professionals in Ireland to driving and depression? o Are Irish health professionals aware of and adhering to the Sláinte agus Tiomáint guidelines in the assessment of fitness to drive of individuals with depression? o What are the current practices of health professionals (Consultant Psychiatrists, General Practitioners, and Occupational Therapists) in Ireland in the assessment of fitness to drive of individuals with depression? o What is the confidence and competence of health professionals in Ireland in the assessment of fitness to drive with individuals with depression? The aims achieved through three research articles are presented in this thesis. The first article is a discussion piece for occupational therapists on the introduction of the Sláinte agus Tiomáint FtD guidelines in Ireland. The article discusses the relevance of the guidelines to occupational therapy; particularly therapists working in mental health and primary care settings where the issue is often overlooked. Finally, the paper explores how occupational therapists can include the assessment of fitness to drive within their clinical practice as it is internationally recognized as within the scope of occupational therapy. The second article is an empirical study of the attitudes, knowledge, and practices of three professional groups. The article presents a quantitative survey of health professionals (n=228) (Consultant Psychiatrists, General… Advisors/Committee Members: Robinson, Katie.

▼ Introduction Severe mental disorder impairs individuals’ functionality on work, social relations and daily activities. Family/caregivers of people with severe mental illness are the ones who take responsibilities for their ill family member and face variety of difficulties in order to provide their support. Although they are supporting in different ways, we know little about thisexperiencefrom both sides and the challenges they face in providing support for their ill relative as well as the professionals who work in mental health centers. Methods Semi-structured in-depth interviews were carried out with three inpatients and two outpatients with severe mental disorder, four families of individual with severe mental disorder and four professionals who works with people with severe mental disorder at Amanuel Mental Specialized hospital. Participants’ experiences, views about informal caregiving and needs for support were discussed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and qualitative thematic analysis carried out. Results All of the patient participants are financially dependent on their families. Most participants mentioned that caregivers are the key to the treatment process. The need for the help of caregivers on the monitoring medication is mentioned by most of the participants except for one patient participant. Participants also mentioned that the caregivers are also a source of encouragement and emotional support despite the fact that patients may become aggressive from time to time. The family/caregiver role in improving patient’s functionality with regards to encouraging social engagement and enhancing self-care. Caregivers also stated that they carried a great deal burden financially, emotionally and with the demand on their time, it compromised other areas of their lives. All have reported perceiving satisfactory levels of care in most aspects and did not have much to suggest regarding their preferred means or types of care giver involvement. However, it is evident that there is still room for improving caregiver support. Both patients and caregivers had low awareness and expectations from the involvement. Conclusion Our findings suggest that the care for the severely mentally ill is a shared responsibility between the patient him/herself, the caregivers and the health system at large. Effective treatment would therefore require liaison and collaboration of all involved. As a developing country that is striving to improve mental health accessibly, it would be wise to leverage this key resource of caregivers which is already in our hands.
