Addressing Familial Violence and Child Abuse
No full textExperiences of domestic violence and child abuse are common among women with perinatal mental disorders. Women’s experience of violence and abuse is shown to be associated with adverse obstetric and perinatal mental health outcomes, impaired mother-infant bonding and subsequent behavioural problems in children. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing evidence on the nature, extent and impact of child abuse and domestic violence among perinatal women with mental disorders and their children before discussing how perinatal mental health services can appropriately address and support women and children affected by violence and abuse.</p
Breaking the cycle of intergenerational abuse: A qualitative interview study of men participating in a perinatal program to reduce violence
No full textDomestic violence and abuse in the perinatal period leads to long-term adverse outcomes for infants, including a greater risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of violence in adulthood. Examining men's beliefs about fatherhood and violence, and their motivations for engaging in programs to reduce violence, is essential to understand how interventions can impact on behavior and break intergenerational cycles of abuse. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of becoming a father in a sample of men who are taking part in a whole-family perinatal program to reduce violence—For Baby's Sake. Ten men who had engaged with For Baby's Sake were interviewed about their experiences and beliefs around fatherhood. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: making sense of violent behavior, conceptions of fatherhood, an emotional transition, and breaking the cycle. The data provide a unique insight into men's beliefs and behaviors at this transition point in their lives. This can aid the development of interventions aimed at breaking the cycle of abuse, indicating ways to harness the motivation for a new start and support men to overcome unhelpful behavior patterns.</p

Political knowledge and social media use in the digital media system
Get PDFMy dissertation explores how social media exposure affects political knowledge among the American public. Political knowledge is central to any understanding of citizen competence, yet key questions remain about how to best increase citizens’ information levels. My dissertation project assesses to what extent the dramatic rise in social media use has influenced how people receive, evaluate, and respond to information about politics. Previous research contends that although information about politics is increasingly accessible and available, the overall levels and social distribution of political knowledge within the American public has remained stable. However, the conception of political knowledge used most frequently in political science focuses on knowledge about the operation of government and key political players, which is only one of several types of political knowledge that citizens might possess.
My research begins with the premise that certain media types may be better or worse at facilitating learning of different types of knowledge, of which the familiar political science variety is only one. I introduce a knowledge typology that focuses on both knowledge content and type. In terms of knowledge content, most political behavior studies rely on a civics measure of knowledge (i.e. individuals’ understandings about what the government is). In addition to civics knowledge, this project also measures and tests current events knowledge (i.e. individuals’ understandings about what the government does). Even more importantly, the knowledge typology introduces subjective political knowledge as a distinct type of knowledge that individuals possess. Subjective political knowledge encompasses people’s perceptions about what they think they know about politics and their knowledge certainty. Assessing the relationship between objective and subjective political knowledge demonstrates that, although related, these knowledge types are not identical to one another. In an increasingly fragmented and polarized information environment, where people rely on sources like social media for political information, the assumed relationships between media exposure and political knowledge may no longer hold. Using survey and experimental data, I demonstrate that exposure to political information via social media platforms like Facebook can increase specific types of knowledge like subjective political knowledge, while having less of an impact on objective political knowledge. Ultimately this project introduces new types of knowledge and demonstrates how the rise of social media has important effects on people’s apparent levels of political knowledge.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Kylee Britzman, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-02 at 10:10.The student, Kylee Britzman, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-02 at 10:16.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-03 at 09:01.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12108 on 2018-08-31 at 17:18:08Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:33:57Z (GMT).

A survey of mental health professionals' knowledge, attitudes and preparedness to respond to domestic violence
No full textBACKGROUND: A high proportion of psychiatric service users experience domestic violence, yet most cases remain undetected by clinicians.AIMS: This study aimed to assess mental health professionals' knowledge, attitudes and preparedness to respond to domestic violence.METHOD: Information was collected on psychiatrists' and psychiatric nurses' knowledge, attitudes and preparedness towards the assessment of domestic violence, using an adapted Physician Readiness to Measure Intimate Partner Violence Survey.RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-one professionals were surveyed. Only 20 (15%) professionals routinely asked all service users about domestic violence and just 36 (27%) provided information to service users following disclosure. Most professionals (60%) felt that they lacked adequate knowledge of support services, and 27% felt that their workplace did not have adequate referral resources for domestic violence. Nurses reported greater readiness to assess and manage domestic violence than psychiatrists (p < 0.001), despite psychiatrists reporting greater overall knowledge (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Mental health professionals need to have clear referral pathways for service users who experience domestic violence, and to receive training on enhancing their knowledge and competencies to address domestic violence.</p
A scoping review on the evidence for trauma-informed approaches in acute and crisis mental health care.
No full textTrauma can be defined as an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that are experienced by individuals as physically/emotionally harmful or life threatening and can have long-term adverse effects on a person’s physical, mental and emotional well-being (SAMHSA’s Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiative, 2014). Types of traumatic experiences can include physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse, neglect, exposure to conflict, and social factors such as racism, poverty and migration-related trauma (Cohodes et al., 2021; Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). Experiences of trauma in both childhood and adulthood are highly prevalent among people who use mental health services (Khalifeh et al., 2015; Oram et al., 2013; Read et al., 2018), and it is increasingly acknowledged that experiences of mental health care can exacerbate the effects of trauma (Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). This can be especially so in acute care settings where restrictive practices are employed to maintain safety (Prytherch et al., 2021; Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). Trauma-informed care (TIC) approaches to mental health care shift the focus of support so that an understanding of traumatic experiences and their effects, and an active approach to avoiding re-traumatisation become central to how care is delivered. This systematic review aims to examine the evidence on trauma-informed care models, outcomes and costs across acute and crisis psychiatric services, including staff expectations, and service user and carer experiences. This scoping review aims to answer:
i) What trauma-informed care approaches are used in acute and crisis mental health care?
ii) What is known about service user and carer expectations and experiences of trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care?
iii) How do trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care impact on service user outcomes?
iv) What is known about staff attitudes, expectations and experiences of delivering trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care?
v) How do trauma-informed care approaches impact on staff practices and staff wellbeing in acute and crisis mental health care?
vi) How do trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care impact on service use and costs and what evidence exists about their cost-effectiveness
