Informal coercion in inpatient mental healthcare: a scoping review protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Comprehending informal coercion, which encompasses a wide range of phenomena characterised by subtle and non-legalised pressures, can be complex. Its use is underestimated within the continuum of coercion in mental health, although its application may have a negative impact on the persons involved. A better understanding of informal coercion is crucial for improving mental healthcare and informing future research. This scoping review aims to explore the nature, extent and consequences of informal coercion in mental health hospitalisation to clarify this phenomenon, establish its boundaries more clearly and identify knowledge gaps. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Following the methodological framework from the Joanna Briggs Institute, this scoping review will encompass 10 key steps. Literature searches will be conducted in electronic databases, including CINAHL, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses. Then, a search in grey literature sources (Open Grey, Grey Guide), psychiatric and mental health journals, government agencies and among the references of selected studies will be conducted. The research will include all literature focusing on informal coercion with inpatients aged 18 and above. Data will be extracted and analysed descriptively, mapping the available knowledge and identifying thematic patterns. The quality of included studies will be assessed using appropriate appraisal tools. An exploratory search was conducted in November 2023 and will be updated in December 2023 when the selection of relevant evidence will begin. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required as this study involves the analysis of existing published literature. The findings will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication and presentations at relevant conferences. They will be shared with people living with mental disorders and professionals working in mental healthcare.

For a better understanding of the relationship between caregivers and young adults living with a concomitant substance-related mental health and substance use disorder: an integrative review / Mieux comprendre la relation entre les intervenants et les jeunes adultes vivant avec un trouble concomitant de santé mentale et lié à l'usage de substances : une revue intégrative des écrits

Introduction: The importance of a quality relationship between young adults living with dual diagnosis and their health care providers is well documented. Context: Although this complex phenomenon was mostly studied from an individual perspective, the results indicated the systemic nature of this relationship. Objective: This study aims to better understand the relationship between young adults living with dual diagnosis and their health care providers, with a systemic perspective. Method: Six data bases were consulted; manual research in gray literature and references screening enhanced the process. Results: Of a total of 532 studies and reports identified, 44 were included in the review. Thematic data analysis was carried out, and two themes were identified: the health care system as a constraining environment; and the relationship at the heart of care. Discussion: This study confirms the joint role played by the young adult in question and their health care provider in developing and maintaining the relationship, by acknowledging the importance of the care, of mutual confidence, and of a hierarchic relationship. Conclusion: This integrative review provides a basis for future nursing interventions that foreground the relationship and take a systemic approach.

Introduction: Plusieurs écrits soulignent l'importance de la qualité de la relation entre de jeunes adultes présentant un trouble concomitant de santé mentale et lié aux substances, et leurs intervenants. Contexte: Ce phénomène complexe a toutefois été étudié surtout dans une perspective individuelle, alors que plusieurs résultats soutiennent le caractère systémique de cette relation. Objectif: Mieux comprendre, selon une perspective systémique, le phénomène de la relation entre ces jeunes adultes et leurs intervenants. Méthode: Une revue intégrative, encadrée par une approche systémique, a été effectuée à partir de six bases de données, d'une recherche manuelle de la littérature grise et d'une vérification des références. Résultats: 532 écrits ont été recensés, et 44 d'entre eux ont servi pour l'analyse thématique qui a fait ressortir deux thèmes : l'environnement contraignant du système de santé et la relation au cœur des soins. Discussion: Cette étude corrobore le rôle conjoint joué par le jeune et l'intervenant dans le développement et le maintien de leur relation, en reconnaissant l'importance des soins, de la confiance réciproque et de la relation hiérarchique. Conclusion: Les résultats peuvent constituer l'assise pour le développement d'interventions infirmières mettant à l'avant-plan la relation selon une perspective systémique.

Family Resilience as an Emerging Concept in Neonatology: Evidence From a Metasummary Review.

BACKGROUND: Family resilience can be observed through specific resilience-promoting processes, namely, shared belief systems, communication, and organizational processes, but the concept remains mostly unstudied in neonatology. This metasummary aims to evaluate the frequency of family resilience processes in qualitative scientific literature to illustrate how family resilience is exhibited in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting. METHODS: A search among 4 databases yielded 7029 results, which were reviewed for inclusion. Following Sandelowski and Barroso's qualitative metasummary method, findings from each study were independently coded and frequency effect size was calculated. RESULTS: Forty-six primary qualitative studies published between 2016 and 2022 conducted with parents of preterm infants who discussed their NICU hospitalization experience were included in this metasummary. All 9 of Walsh's family resilience processes were identified in the literature, and their frequency effect size ranged from 4% to 91%. Four additional themes emerged pertaining to specific family resilience behaviors exhibited by NICU families. CONCLUSION: This analysis sheds new light on the most recent qualitative evidence of parents' experiences in the NICU by analyzing it through the lens of family resilience and posits family resilience as a promising concept in relation to the predominance of the family-centered care philosophy in neonatal units.

Crisis plans in mental health: A scoping review.

Crisis situations are frequent among people with mental health disorders. Several interventions have been developed to act in prevention, including crisis plans recognized as particularly effective in reducing coercive measures. In the literature, several models of crisis plans are proposed with similar aims and contents. Based on the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, a scoping review was conducted to map the state of knowledge on crisis plans in adult mental health settings. The literature search conducted on six databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, PsychINFO and Cochrane) yielded 2435 articles. Of these, 122 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 78 met the inclusion criteria. Studies were critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal tools, and data were extracted by two independent reviewers. Content analysis identified a typology of crisis plans: (1) the legal crisis plan and (2) the formal crisis plan. Five modalities were identified for its completion: the sections, the moment, the completion steps, the people involved and the training of key actors. Most identified outcomes are consistent with the main purpose of the intervention, which is crisis prevention. However, the most identified outcomes focused on the service user's recovery and indicated that crisis plans could provide an opportunity to operationalize recovery in mental healthcare, thus suggesting an evolution in the aim of the intervention. Future research should further focus on the modalities of crisis plans to guide the implementation in clinical practice.
