“…This has been found, for example, in the case of elderly patients ( Vallerand et al . 1989 ), patients in long‐term care ( Rodin 1986) and psychiatric patients ( Youssef 1984). It also appears that participation in decision‐making adds to the patients’ satisfaction with their treatment ( Eisenthal et al .…”

In the context of an interview study concerned with self-determination in psychiatric patients, this paper describes the preconditions for and consequences of self-determination from the point of view of psychiatric patients themselves. The data were collected in semi-structured interviews with long-term psychiatric patients (n = 72) and analysed using the method of content analysis. Responses on the preconditions for self-determination were grouped into three categories: firstly, there were those who said that reference to self-determination in the case of psychiatric patients is nonsense; secondly, there were those who said that self-determination requires no preconditions; and thirdly, there were those who said that there are certain preconditions, such as the ability to think and make decisions, activity, obedience, and illness. Both positive and negative consequences were identified in situations where self-determination is maintained, but only negative consequences in situations where self-determination is lost. On the basis of these tentative results, self-determination seemed to be relevant in psychiatric nursing. We are continuing to develop and test an instrument for the evaluation of the opportunity for self-determination in clinical practice.

Advancing self‐determination with young adults who have schizophrenia

The research examined how community mental health nurses promote self-determination with clients who are experiencing an early episode of schizophrenia. The study used grounded theory methodology incorporating interviews and observations. The study took place in the community, in rural and regional New South Wales, Australia, and involved clients and community mental health nurses. The findings show that the promotion of self-determination is dependent on nurses educating clients about their illness and well-being, and fostering self-control. The development of a reciprocal relationship, or alliance, between nurses and clients is implicit in advancing self-determination. The implications of the promotion of client self-determination for education, clinical practice and research and these are discussed.

Educational interventions for mental health consumers receiving psychotropic medication: A review of the evidence

The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the efficacy of educational interventions, relating to psychotropic medications, for consumers with a mental health disorder. This review included only randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of various educational interventions on knowledge retention, compliance to medication and treatment, incidence of relapse, and insight into illness in patients aged 18 years and over with a mental disorder. Twenty-one trials met the quality criteria and were included in the final analysis. Patients who were provided with education demonstrated a significant increase in the level of knowledge and compliance compared with those who were not. However, there was no difference in the incidence of relapse and insight in those who were provided education. A structured education session using both written and verbal methods followed by discussion of the contents is demonstrated to be effective. The evidence suggests that consumers who were provided multiple education sessions had greater knowledge gains in the short term (up to 1 month); however, the effectiveness of multiple sessions in the long term (2 years) is inconclusive. The review provides evidence that multiple education sessions are better than single education sessions in improving knowledge relating to medications and insight into illness. Evidence from the trials demonstrates that structured educational interventions delivered at frequent intervals are useful as part of the treatment programme for people with a mental illness. More well designed and reported randomized studies investigating the efficacy of education are urgently needed.
