12 Learning Activity 1 Concept: Mental health/mental illness: Historical and Theoretical concepts OVERVIEW Although there is an increasing understanding of mental illness, there is still a myth about its origin and cause. Several theories attempt to define mental health. Maslow s theory emphasizes an individual s motivation in the continuous quest for selfactualization (cited in Townsend, 2003, p. 15). Jahoda (cited in Townsend, 2003) suggested six factors that constitutes/reflects mental health. These are 1) A positive attitude towards self, 2) Growth, development, and the ability to achieve self actualization, 3) Integration, 4) Autonomy, 5) perception of reality, and 6) environmental mastery (p. 15). In my years of experience in psychiatric practice these concepts have been simplified for individuals experiencing mental illness to maintaining a balanced and sustaining life style. This involves nutrition/diet, sleep, exercise, managing stress, changing negative thinking, assertiveness, addressing drug or alcohol problem, and maintaining a balanced social life and support system. Mental illness then can be described as a disturbance in our thoughts, feeling, and behaviors as a result of maladaptive response to stress, which interferes with an individuals, work, relationship, and physical functions, which are influenced by cultural values and beliefs. ENDS-IN-VIEW (Learning Outcomes) At the end of this class students will be able to: - Define mental health and mental illness - Understand the history of psychiatric care. - Identify cultural factors that influence mental health and mental illness - Understand psychological response to stress - Identify correlation of adaptive/maladaptive behaviors to mental health and mental illness.

13 IN CLASS ACTIVITY - Students will engage in small group and large discussion on the following: - Discuss Perspective of mental health and mental illness. - Discuss their experience with mental illness. - Share understanding of stress and the stress response model, and personal response to stress. - Watch video, within these walls on the history of psychiatric care. - Discuss chapter review questions. IN REFLECTION As you read the required reading for this class, has your understanding of the history of mental illness and mental health changed? Do you view those with mental illness the same way as you did before your reading? How would you feel if you or some one in your family has a mental illness? Have you gained any new knowledge on stress and its response? Would you manage your stress differently? 13

14 Learning Activity 2 Concept: Foundations for psychiatric health nursing; Ethical and Legal Issues in Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing and Certification OVERVIEW In order to nurse individual with psychiatric illnesses nurses must have an understanding of the various theories of personality development. Developmental theories identify behaviors that are associated with various stages that individuals pass, and identify deviations form each developmental level. In understanding the various theories of human development, Peplau, the first psychiatric nurse theorist proposed a model for psychiatric nursing practice. In her model of interpersonal theory, she stresses the concept of the nurse client relationship development and thus provided a framework for psychodynamic nursing (Townsend, 2003 p. 44). Nurses are engaged in difficult ethical decisions on a daily basis and in psychiatric nursing practice this becomes more of a challenge because of the application of the Mental Health Act (B C, Canada).Therefore, in order to provide competent and appropriate care nurses must understand the legislation/law about patients rights and the right of health care provider when providing care. Would patients rights be compromised in the event of managing physically or verbal aggressive if mechanical restraints or seclusion room is used? ENDS-IN-VIEW (Learning Outcomes) - At the end of this class students will be able to: - Define personality and understand the relevance of knowledge associated with personality development in psychiatric nursing. - Identify the major components of each developmental theory. - Understand the application of Peplau s theory of interpersonal relationship to nursing practice. - Identify the difference among ethics, morals, values, and rights. - Understand the different ethical theories and ethical dilemma - Understand the application of ethical principles, and an ethical decision model. - Identify ethical issues in psychiatric practice and understand behaviors. - Differentiate among civil and criminal law, statutory law and common law. - Become aware of the BC mental health act and its application to psychiatric practice.

IN REFLECTION How will your understand of ethics and legal issues prepare you for psychiatric nursing practice. If your values and beliefs were to be compromised because of the decision you have to make in your practice, how would you cope with this? Do you think patients should be admitted to hospital and treated against their wish/permission? Why or Why not? How have you managed aggressive behavior in your practice or have you witnessed the management of this behavior? If so what was the outcome and how did it make you feel? In your nursing practice thus far, have you considered or identified your clients developmental level/task? If so, what was your understanding of their behavior or illness, and how did you respond and plan their care? Would your understanding of their behavior change in the future, or would you do anything different in planning their care? If so what would you do different? 15

16 Learning Activity 3 Concept: Spirituality and Mental Health OVERVIEW There is increasing recognition of the role of spirituality in health and healing. However, in psychiatric practice this phenomenon is still not explored for its usefulness in managing and recovering from mental illness. From the available research on this subject, they show a positive relationship between spirituality and positive mental health (Rajakumar, 2005 unpublished masters thesis UBC) ENDS-IN-VIEW (Learning Outcomes) At the end of this class students will be able to: - Understand the conceptualization of spirituality and identify how spirituality may assist in promoting mental health and managing mental illness. - Gain knowledge of the role of spirituality in health and healing, specifically in psychiatric care. IN PREPARATION Read: Ameling, A., & Povilonis, M, (2001). Spirituality: Meaning, mental health nursing. Journal of Psychosocial Nursing, 39(4), Baldacchino, D. B., & Draper, P. (2001).

Have you assessed patient s spirituality and provided any interventions for spiritual distress? and 16

17 Learning Activity 4 Concept: Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder and Restraints OVERVIEW Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects mostly the young (late adolescence or early adult years). Its development is characterized by a gradual decline in social/occupational functioning as well as a decline in academic functioning, and the characteristics symptoms of hallucinations and or delusions. During times of acute psychosis, clients may act on their delusions or hallucinations and become aggressive or acutely suicidal and may require restraints. The theories of its cause are biological, psychological and environmental (Townsend, 2003). Early diagnosis and treatment rehabilitation can reduce the severity of the illness and improve overall functioning. Individuals with schizophrenia can also experience a mood disorder such as depression or mania, which compounds their presentation and thus presents as a challenge to manage. Mental status assessment is an important aspect of care for the mentally ill, especially for forming a working diagnosis ENDS-IN-VIEW (Learning Outcomes) At the end of this class students will be able to: - Identify and describe the theories and epidemiological statistics of schizophrenia. - Describe the trajectory of schizophrenia and its treatments - Understand the effects of schizophrenia on the individual and his/her family. - Dispel any myths about schizophrenia - Understand the nursing care for the patient who is experiencing perceptual disturbances. - Describe their understanding of Schizoaffective Disorder. - Understand the rational for mechanical or seclusion room use. - Understand the nursing care of aggressive patients and for patients in restraints or seclusion room that can result in a malpractice action.

If not, what treatments and or services should be available to this group of patients? What can you and the public do to advocate for them? How would you feel if you or your loved ones were in restraints? 18

19 Learning Activity 5 Concept: Mood disorders: Dysthymia; Major Depression; Mania and Hypomania OVERVIEW Depression is one of the most common psychiatric illnesses. It affects 15% of the adult population, with one in four female and one in eight male. It has no cultural boundaries and can result in death through suicide or self neglect (Townsend, 2003). However, if treated it is one of the psychiatric illnesses that can fully respond to treatment, where remission can be permanent. There are several theories of how depression is caused but the most common is the biological and life risk factors (Townsend). Bipolar disorder is when there is a mood swing from depression to the opposite end of the mood spectrum called mania or hypomania. In this sate a person s mood is elevated to the point of engaging in unusual high risk behaviors, which often places him/her at risk for self harm or harm to others (Townsend, 2003).

IN REFLECTION As you read, consider if you know of anyone who has a mood disorder and had received treatment or not received treatment? How did they cope or manage their mood disorder? With the knowledge you now have, does it reflect your experience or your belief of and its treatment? Why do you think depression is so prevalent in our society today? 20

21 Learning Activity 6 Concept: Psychopharmacology: OVERVIEW Biological treatments for psychiatric illnesses did not begin until the mid 20 th century. Before this time psychiatric patients were treated in isolation and in many cases incarcerated for the fear of having demons. However, with the introduction of major tranquillizers in the mid 20 th century many of these fears were dismissed (Townsend, p. 291). Despite the effectiveness of these tranquillizers; patients suffer detrimental and irreversible side effects. Many of these side effects can still be seen today in patients who are in long term psychiatric care such as Riverview hospital and psychiatric boarding homes. With the new approach to psychiatric care, and the current advancement in information technology and research; the newer age psychotropic drugs produce less detrimental side effects and patients enjoy a higher quality of life.

23 Learning Activity 7 Concept: Substance related disorders: Drug and Alcohol Personality Disorders OVERVIEW As you are aware, drugs or alcohol play a significant role in our lives today. They are taken for various reasons such as medical purpose to manage chronic pain, and socially for recreation. However, with prolong use some can become addictive or we can abuse it. This action can lead to altering behaviors and thought process that interferes with our general functioning. In its worst form, some drug use can lead to death form accidental overdose or acts of suicide. The concept of personality disorder is used when an individual behave in an irrational manner despite the presence of an intact intellect (Townsend 2003).

Students presentation of practice experiences: Reflecting on health promotion and prevention and client/community empowerment OVERVIEW Communication is the basis of any relationship and therapeutic communication is the core of all nurse client relationship (Townsend, 2003). In psychiatric nursing practice it is even more important to develop and maintain a therapeutic nurse client relationship because of the nature of psychiatric illnesses. For example, patients who are experiencing psychosis may not trust the nurse and therefore will not be willing to engage in conversation or may not allow the nurse to carry out his or her nursing intervention, which could compromise the client s care. In your health promotion, prevention and empowerment class you have learned about what constitutes these concepts.

Complete course evaluation and instructor evaluation. IN REFLECTION Reflect on what you have learned in this class and whether this knowledge has changed your outlook on mental health and mental illness. As well as whether your nursing care for these patients will be different in the future from what they have been in the past. 31

33 Instructor Information: Name: Ph: My expectations of students and of myself: Of students: That you will practice in a respectful and professional manner. That you will be well prepared with knowledge regarding the specific clients you are working with. That you will identify your learning needs and take an active role to seek help to meet those needs. That you will feel comfortable to inform me of any difficulty you are experiencing in your practice. That you will be ambassadors for future Langara nursing students, especially since this is the first time we are offering term VII and using some new placements. Of myself That I will endeavor to do my best and to be cognizant of your learning needs and assist as much as possible. That I will assist as much as possible with your project work. That I will inform you at the earliest opportunity if I have any concern regarding your practice and make plans with you for your learning needs. And finally that we will have a successful and rich learning experience Cheers and good luck to all of us!!!!!!!!! Signature 33
