Welcome to episode 171 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 23 October 2024] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. This week Nicky Lambert and Vanessa Gilmartin spoke with guest Linda Pert about Physical and mental health - Nutrition, sleep and hydration LP - I qualified as a mental health nurse in 1994 in Plymouth. From 1997 I spent over 20 years working in high secure forensic services at Rampton Hospital, I moved to the community setting in 2018 and worked in Bed Management, Crisis Team, Street Triage and a Community Mental Health Team within Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. I have just reached the end of my training to be an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) with Sheffield Hallam University, whilst working in a Community Mental Health Team for Notts Healthcare. I have a new challenge ahead as I am about to return to the ward environment with a new role as an ACP on a psychiatric intensive care unit with Solent NHS Trust. I have a passion for research and sit as Vice Chair on the Chief Nursing Officers Shared Professional Decision Making Council for Research. My specific interest is identifying service gaps and developing ways to address them in my work and that of my team. I have recently written and delivered a training package for my masters dissertation with the aim to improve the physical health of those under our care. My idea is for a bottom-up approach where mental health practitioners engage with patients in such a way as to start to address the real fact that SMI patients die an average of 20 years too soon. Mental and physical health are inextricably linked and I believe we need to have this holistic view in all our patient interactions. It doesn't require much of a change in our approach, just a little extra knowledge and confidence and a curiosity about all aspects of our patients life and lifestyle.

The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fifth event on Friday 3 May 2024. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Dr Gary Lamph Title: A World Café Approach that explored perspectives of people with lived experience and occupational experience Background - The diagnosis personality disorder is one which continues to split opinions. Negative connotations, stigma and negativity surrounds the diagnostic category. In recent years a movement to challenge the label and terminology of personality disorder has emerged. Aim – To explore the perspectives of the diagnostic label personality disorder with people with lived and occupational experience in a live conference world café based format. Methods – Adopting a World café participatory method provided a flexible and effective approach to capturing the qualitative views of people in a large group format. Table discussions were hosted using a co-facilitated model to capture the table discussions. Each table had different discussion points pertaining to the diagnostic label. The event ensured that necessary dialogue is developed, delivered and analysed in co-production. The unique methods and delivery will be discussed. Results - This study identified contrasting opinions towards the label of Personality Disorder and provides insight into the concerns described for both keeping and losing the label. Although many felt the words ‘‘personality'' and ‘‘disorder'' are not in themselves helpful, certain positive views were also revealed. Perspectives towards the label were influenced by the way in which diagnosis was explained and understood by patients and practitioners, alongside the extent to which service provision and evidence-based interventions were offered.

Author: Comensus service user and carer involvement group Title: Comensus service user and carer involvement group, University of Central Lancashire Abstract: Comensus service users and carers have been an integral part of professional health and social care education and development at the University of Central Lancashire for 20 years (Garner et al., 2022; Gordon et al., 2020; Mckeown et al., 2011). Throughout this period, they have also been invited to be part of research opportunities, with colleagues internal to the University and with external partners from practice and academia. A panel of service users and carers have agreed to share their experiences of being involved in qualitative research, both as research participants and more recently, as participant researchers themselves. They will provide a short presentation introducing themselves and their involvement in research activity to date, followed by a Q&A to explore their individual perspectives of being researched, or involved in conducting research.

Author: Jesse Ussman Title: The Online Health Information Seeking Behaviour of People of African Descent in the UK Abstract: The current digital transformation has had a significant impact on how people seek health information, including mental health support. This is especially relevant for People of African Descent (PoAD) in the United Kingdom (UK), who face unique barriers to accessing mental health services. This presentation is based on a recent qualitative study that explored the online health information-seeking behaviour (HISB) of PoAD in the UK. The study used reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 21 PoAD aged 20 to 70 years and a mean age of 42.8 (SD ±11.4). Five overarching themes were revealed: internet literacy, attitudes towards social media, obstacles to online health information, trust in professional sources, and cultural influences on HISB. For mental health nurses, it is crucial to provide culturally sensitive mental health support that recognises the unique needs, beliefs, and online behaviours of PoAD. This presentation covers methods for overcoming obstacles to accessing mental health information online, such as addressing concerns about privacy, information overload, and mistrust in online sources. It will also highlight the potential of social media and online platforms in spreading reliable mental health information, improving digital health literacy, and promoting a community-based approach to mental health support. Mental health nurses can help bridge the gap between PoAD and mental health support by understanding and leveraging online HISB. This includes providing reliable and culturally appropriate mental health information and implementing strategies to enhance access to mental health services. The insights from this study offer a valuable framework for mental health nurses to develop inclusive, effective, and accessible mental health care services for PoAD, contributing to improved mental health outcomes and equity in healthcare provision.

With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Sarah Traill Title: Making sense of the feedback experience: An interpretative phenomenological analytic study exploring the lived experiences of student mental health nurses receiving written feedback on their assessments. Abstract: The aim of providing students with written assessment feedback is to support future development (Carless & Boud 2018; Hattie & Timperley 2007; Pitt & Quinlan 2022; Winstone & Nash 2016). Feedback itself has been identified as having a powerful effect on learning and development (Hattie & Timperley 2007; Wisniewski, Ziere & Hattie 2019). In an age of neoliberal marketized education, feedback is a common source of students' dissatisfaction and thus detrimentally affects NSS and TEF outcomes (Winstone & Carless 2021; Winstone, Ajjawi & Boud 2021). In an attempt to enhance students' satisfaction and league table position, HE institutions have focused their efforts on consistency and standardisation of assessment feedback practices, yet satisfaction with assessment feedback remains poor (Winstone, Ajjawi & Boud 2021). This research explores the phenomena using IPA to draw out idiographic and group experiential themes that capture how students make sense of the feedback experience. This research considers feedback from an interconnected perspective, exploring the students understanding of themselves and their position in the world of education. The research identified two key conceptual themes of “Educational Baggage” and “The mediating influence of relationships”. Rather than approaches which game the NSS and TEF metrics, this research highlight the importance of authentic learner centred approaches to assessment feedback. The resulting principles of practice and recommendations offer flexible, adaptable, and efficient routes towards enhanced student engagement, agency, attainment and satisfaction.

The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fourth event on Friday 17 November 2023. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Title: Back to the Future: How can Enrolled Nurses (Mental Health) experience of education and training inform nurse associate and other apprenticeship programmes Abstract: The return to the two-year programme of Nursing education draws comparisons to the Enrolled Nursing route which was phased out in the 1990s. The reasons for the Enrolled Nurses introduction were very similar to the Nursing Associate - a chronic lack of registered nurses and subsequent care gap in meeting patient need. Thus, looking back to the education and training experiences of Enrolled Nurses who also experienced a two-year apprenticeship programme and work-based learning appears to be timely. Using a historical qualitative methodology has potential to provide insights toward informing the future development of the two-year programme Trainee Nursing Associate route and beyond. The aim of the proposed research study is to explore Enrolled Nurses' experiences of education and training to inform the Nursing Associate and other relevant apprenticeship programmes.

Working with families and carers has always been important to me and is at the heart of my values and ethics. DF - I am a former parent carer for a young adult with complex mental health issues. As a consequence of my experiences of mental health services over many years, I am passionate about working to improve the quality and safety of services available to those in need of support, and changing the way in which services engage with carers and families. I have a particular interest in suicide prevention, and provide lived experience input into my local NHS mental health trust's suicide prevention work. This has included the co-design and delivery of the ‘Stronger Together' training programme, which aims to inform, support and empower carers of those affected by suicidal behaviours. I am Co-Chair of the Trust's Carer Strategy Implementation Group, and was involved in co-producing their new carer strategy. I have broad-ranging experience within the mental health and voluntary sectors, most recently as a freelance Mental Health Trainer and Lived Experience Carer Consultant, specialising in carer support, and co-production and collaborative working within mental health services.

The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fourth event on Friday 17 November 2023. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Presentation lead: Dr Leila Sharda Title: A narrative synthesis using the normalisation process theory coding manual for qualitative research as an analytical framework Abstract: Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) is frequently used to inform qualitative research that aims to explain and evaluate processes that shape late-stage translation of innovations in the organisation and delivery of healthcare. A coding manual for qualitative researchers using NPT will facilitate transparent data analysis processes and will also reduce the cognitive and practical burden on researchers.

With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Title: Achieving PARITY: Co-creating an impact measure for service user and carer involvement in pre-registration nurse education Abstract: Few impact measures are developed in co-production with service users and carers. This study contributes to addressing that gap. The resulting co-created 21-item impact measure, which was tested for structural validity and internal reliability, shows promise and offers something original to the field by embracing a participatory approach to all stages of the research process. These early test results should be treated with a measure of caution; the methodological limitations of testing at just one university and with a limited age range of students are acknowledged. Future research will be required to strengthen internal consistency and address these limitations, and to establish the stability of the measure, before it can be claimed to meaningfully measure any changes resulting from service user and carer involvement in the curriculum.

Welcome to episode 146 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 13 December 2023] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. This week Nicky Lambert and Dave Munday spoke with guest Jane Beach and reflected on #mhTV in 2023. We used the medium of NMC Revalidation to do this as both a refresher for those who have gone through NMC revalidation before and for those newly qualified colleagues who have yet to go through the process for the first time. JB - During a 32-year career in the NHS, Jane worked in locations throughout the UK as a nurse and midwife. She subsequently qualified as a health visitor, a role she enjoyed for over 16 years working in Birmingham. Participation in a research project concerned with using the Edinburgh Post Natal Depression Scale in practice motivated Jane to undertake a degree in health sciences. Her positive experience of academia encouraged her to continue onto to obtain a Master's in Public Health, cementing her passion for public health. She moved into smoking cessation, progressing to leadership of the service before securing a role within a PCT public health team, where she was a nurse consultant within the health improvement team. Jane decided to leave the NHS when PCTs were dissolved. She secured a role at the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as the health visiting adviser and developed a keen interest in healthcare regulation. In October 2012, Jane joined the Unite Health Sector as the lead professional officer for regulation, a role that enables her to maintain close links with her professional roots. Jane's work in regulation has included the review of the NMC Code, revalidation and changes to fitness to practise. Healthcare regulation is constantly changing and Jane is kept busy ensuring Unite members are kept up to date with developments and are supported to practice safely and effectively.

Welcome to episode 130 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 22 June 2023] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​.

You can join in the discussion by commenting on the Facebook Live chat or by tweeting and including the hashtag #mhTV. Dr Emily Setty is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Surrey.

She works closely with a range of frontline professionals and organisations working with young people and national and local government to translate research findings into effective policy and practice designed to address the issues and challenges that young people face regarding sex and relationships in their contemporary digital cultures.
