“…More often, consumers now expect caregivers to be capable of providing information about treatment options and engaging them in collaborative decision-making in treatment planning. This unique set of practitioner competencies is seldom addressed in education and training programs (Chinman et al, 1999;Dixon et al, 2001;Young, Forquer, Tran, Starzynski, & Shatkin, 2000).…”

Increasing attention is being directed to the competency of those who deliver healthcare in the United States. In behavioral health, there is growing recognition of the need to define, teach, and assess essential competencies. Since attention to this issue in behavioral health is relatively recent, there is much to be gained by learning from the principles, definitions, and conceptual models of competency that have been developed in other fields. This article outlines the forces that drive the current focus on competency of the healthcare workforce. Relevant history, principles, definitions, and models that have evolved through research and application in business and industry are reviewed. From this analysis, recommendations are offered to guide future work on competencies in behavioral health.

“…15 And because it is only natural to suppose that persons with psychiatric disorders have become powerless because of their disorders, the concept of empowerment has also attracted attention in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation. [16][17][18][19][20] Rogers et al conducted a large-scale survey for the purpose of developing a patient-constructed scale to measure the level of empowerment among users of mental health services. 21 In the first step they held discussions with a research advisory board consisting of patients to delineate basic attributes of empowerment and developed an initial scale of 48 items in reference to some proximate scales such as the Self-Efficacy Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.…”

Rogers et al. invented the Empowerment Scale, and conducted a factor analysis, which found five factors: self-esteem, power, activism, righteous anger and optimism. Hata et al. translated this scale into Japanese and named it Empowerment Scale-J.They found that the score of the righteous anger factor does not have a significant correlation with the overall score of the Empowerment Score-J.With the aim of clarifying the characteristics of the Empowerment Scale-J, the purpose of the present study was to assess the levels of empowerment in 72 Japanese patients with chronic schizophrenia using the scale, and examine the relationship between the results of the scale and the results of the following two batteries: Social Adjustment Scale II (SAS II), and Expanded Attributional Style Questionnaire (EASQ; a questionnaire to assess some aspects of attitude toward negative circumstances). Four results were obtained as follows. No significant correlation was found between the score of righteous anger factor and overall score. No significant correlation was found between the Empowerment Scale-J score and the degree of social adjustment. Significant correlations were found between some subscales of Empowerment Scale-J and the degree of social adjustments: self-esteem and optimism, but inverse correlations were obtained between the power factor and the righteous anger factor and the degree of social adjustment. Results for the EASQ showed that subjects with a higher righteous anger score have a tendency opposite to that of subjects with higher social adjustment. On the basis of these results it is suggested that behavior related to the righteous anger among Japanese persons with schizophrenia may have some negative influence on their social adaptation and that in applying Empowerment scale-J attention should be paid to the significance of the righteous anger factor.

“…To this end, we produced a short video showing avatars socializing and interacting with some of the features included in AW, a virtual house (Ramloll 2013). The literature indicates that community-based mental health clients place great value on the assistance they get from support workers (Young et al 2000). Accordingly, the attitude of their support worker to any new proposed remedial activity would be a crucial determinant of whether or not clients would accept the activity as credible and worth trying.…”

A web-based virtual world was developed to address negative symptoms in people being assisted by community mental health services. The formative evaluation of this virtual world describes the rationale, stakeholder consultation, behavioral objectives, and design principles. Results are presented for a two-phase evaluation of the acceptability and usability of the prototype with mental health support workers and their adult clients. Phase 1 was the development of an initial prototype virtual world and conduct of a survey of 46 support workers' responses to a questionnaire on their views about that world. Results indicated moderate levels of acceptability and credibility of the concept and identified several perceived barriers to usability by potential clients. Phase 2 was the development of a second prototype and its evaluation by 20 support workers and 10 clients from a mental health support service following an instruction session using the second prototype. Results showed that most of the support workers and clients found it easy to use the virtual world features when assisted by a trainer, and most support workers indicated that they would use it in the future to assist them both to support some of their clients and for their own learning. Our findings indicate that virtual worlds might be useful to assist acquisition or recovery of skills of independent living. This might apply to a wider group that those with mental illness, for example other clinical groups involving disabilities in functional behaviors, including acquired neurological disorders and developmental disabilities.
