Leadership mindset in mental health

Abstract

Shifts in professional identity occur in the transition from trainee to specialist as early career psychiatrists become increasingly aware of broad systemic factors in clinical care. The concept of a mindset, distinct from a skillset of knowledge and expertise, may be an emergent quality for psychiatrists who are seeking to develop their leadership potential.

Professional identity research in the health professions—a scoping review

“…Twenty-five studies (16%) were concerned with understanding the experience or perception of professional identity (9) (Elvey et al, 2013 ; Fagermoen, 1997 ; Kantek & Şimşek, 2017 ; Kluijtmans et al, 2017 ; MacIntosh, 2002 , 2003 ; Ngai, 2007 ; Niemi & Paasivaara, 2007 ; Peter et al, 2018 ), its construction or influences on its development (9) (Chow et al, 2018 ; Dombeck, 2003 ; Estrella, 2010 ; Fagermoen, 1995 ; Fitzgerald & Teal, 2004 ; Hinojosa, 2012 ; Hinojosa & Carney, 2016 ; Kumpusalo et al, 1994 ; Real et al, 2009 ), the role of the organisational identity in professional identity (4) (Barbour & Lammers, 2015 ; Chang, 2012 ; Curtis & Day, 2013 ; Salvatore et al, 2018 ); and the role of emotion (1) (Cascón-Pereira & Hallier, 2012 ). Boundary crossing, both the impact on and role of professional identity was the reason behind of 19 or 12% of studies being conducted (Berghout et al, 2020 ; Brosnan & Cribb, 2019 ; Devery et al, 2018 ; Divall, 2015 ; Ferrell, 2017 ; Koskiniemi et al, 2019 ; Kunhunny & Salmon, 2017 ; Martin et al, 2020 ; McKenzie & Williamson, 2016 ; McNamara, 2010 ; Meyer et al, 2015 ; Ng et al, 2018 ; Ogilvie, 2012 ; Ong et al, 2019 ; Owens, 2018 ; Pape et al, 2018 ; Pottie et al, 2009 ; Pratt et al, 2006 ; Reyes Villagomeza, 2019 ) including both boundary crossing to academia and clinical teaching and hybrid roles, particularly clinical-management roles. The impact of education and learning, qualifications and credentials on professional identity and professional capital was investigated in 12 or 8% of studies (Arai et al, 2017 ; Beckett & Gough, 2004 ; Beddoe, 2013 , 2...…”
