The Values of Recovery within Mental Health Nursing

The Values of Recovery within Mental Health Nursing

Introduction

The mental health issue also concerns not only the importance of aftercare apparent emergence of mental disorders, but also corresponds to the field of prevention of the same with the promotion of socio-cultural aspects as determined by self-esteem, interpersonal relationships and other elements (Lindeke, & Sieckert, 2005, pp 66). The history of research in mental health social work is a developmental one, beginning with a very close association with clinical psychiatry, moving through a productive period of partnership with social psychiatry to the present day, entering into a phase of increasing independence and maturity (Armstrong, 2006, pp 110-124).

Mental health issues feature in all areas of practice, and it is counterproductive to insulate areas on the basis of a commitment to specialization or specialism. Internationally there are many key interfaces. We have chosen two particular ones to consider as prime examples in which social work researchers have made a substantial contribution (Fagermoen, 1997, pp 434-441). The first is the interface between mental health social work research and research into child care practice. The second is the interface with substance abuse, formerly known as 'dual diagnosis'.

Values

Values of recovery display health professionals as the positive significance to human dignity in a broad sense and to the satisfaction of needs of our species and social practice in a narrow sense of psychological elements (Armstrong, 2006, pp 110-124). Through the participation of mental healthcare recovery practitioner, self-regulation of behavior and self-correction in the regulatory mechanisms make it possible to adapt the different levels of integration that is present in humans (Boschma, 2003, pp 189-192).

Moreover, the service that the mental healthcare recovery practitioner provides to society is the care and the functions they serve as principles for establishing this care either directly or indirectly (Repper, 2000, pp 575-87). The direct care is one in which you interact immediately and in person with the user or their families, while indirect care are all those activities undertaken by the recovery practitioner, in connection with the user's attention but not in direct contact with him, as when he explains and provides guidance to families about home care of people with diabetes (Fagermoen, 1997, pp 434-441).

The Recovery Approach

Recovery practitioner work in organizations to assist in meeting the health needs of people, of whom they work mainly in the field of health recovery. Research in this field is dominated by narrative accounts of recovery experiences by service users or survivors (Boschma, 2003, pp 189-192). However, contributions from mental health social work research include evaluations of the empowerment capability of psychosocial rehabilitation and arts projects for the purpose of recovery.

There remains scope to adopt a systems level recovery approach and investigate barriers to recovery present in wider society (Gardner, 2004, pp 125). One element of this is anti-stigma work, currently a pre-occupation of social psychiatrists. A further dimension which mental health social work researchers are well placed to explore are the social barriers to paid employment, ...
