Hi everybody,

With great interest l ' ve read the blog of Trevor and especially the last part of the blog: 'success is about ensuring that our students become better people centred practitioners who are prepared to listen to expert patients and facilitate empowering, collaborative relationships which encourages shared decision making and effective self management skills that will ultimately benefit everyone'. That 's where it is all about and it 's great if we could measure the progress that has been made on this pathway.

As researcher in Belgium (Flanders) and as MH nurse, l would like to measure the impact of user and carer involvement before and after a specific one week training program delivered to first year nursing students about 'well being & mental health well being'. Half of this program is now delivered by patient experts. lt would be great to see what  the impact of the contribution of the involved expert patients is on students perceptions of 'patiënt as experts'. Being exposed to different patient narratives, does this help e.g. first year nursing students to work more in a collaborative and human manner with patients, clients?  l also would like to know if there are sustainable (long lasting) effects on the (eventually) changed perspectives, etc. and if practical training for example reinforces (or maybe distort) the gained perspectives.

l don't know if anybody is familiar with validated questionnaires that match or fit with this research questions?

Please let me know if you could help me further. l would be very grateful. l believe that by setting up this type of research we can put user and carer involvement in higher education more on the agenda in Belgium and user and carer involvment can make a further move and step forward on the ladder of involvement.

Thanks so much,

Bart

Unlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis

Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.

This paper offers Mad…
