Priorities of the Helsinki Declaration
(1964 & 2013)
1. Foster awareness of the importance of mental well-
being
2. Collectively tackle stigma, discrimination and
inequality
3. support people with mental health problems and
their families to be actively engaged in treatment
process
4. Design and implement comprehensive, integrated and
efficient mental health systems (promotion,
prevention, treatment and rehabilitation)
5. Address the need for a competent workforce,
effective in all settings and areas
A former student’s view
• Mr X, 29, studied mental health nursing. He now works in an
adult acute admission ward
• “Throughout my studies and career so far it has been clear
there are still many misconceptions of mental health nursing
and patients - the expectation of violence as a daily feature of
my job is still, without a doubt, a strong one.
• In my spare time I practice kung fu and during one training
session received a black eye; I was surprised by how many
people assumed I’d received the injury at work.
• “I think the most powerful tool we have in
changing these misconceptions is challenging
stigma as it arises. Advertising campaigns are all
very well, but it’s in conversation with the
general public that, as professionals, we can
address these misconceptions and negative
stereotypes.”
Scope/Challenge
• Misconceptions (both the public and fellow nursing
professionals) - fuel for stigma and discrimination
• The mental health nursing profession- subject of many
misconceptions
• The mental health nursing profession - “brand”
• The responsibility for challenging misconceptions lies with
each member of the mental health nursing community
Scope/Challenge
• Shift of practice from mental illness to mental health,
leaving a vacuum in the care of serious mental illness.
• Deinstitutionalization of mental illness care, with
emptying out or closure of many public mental
hospitals.
• Limited access to urgent psychiatric care
• Marked decline in hospital stays for patients with
psychiatric disorders.
Scope/Challenge
• Inadequate reimbursement for time-consuming “talk
therapy” without compensatory procedural
reimbursement.
• Lack of parity of coverage for physical and mental
illness.
• Rapid decline of psychotherapy and shift toward
drug therapy and “med checks” practice.
Scope/Challenge
• Expansion of criteria for psychiatric disorders in
subsequent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders editions.
• Growth of various mental health professions in
practices not supervised by psychiatrists.
• Criminalization of the seriously mentally ill, with
misuse of jails as mental hospitals.
Scope/Challenge
• Income inequality and class differences have reached
historic highs in recent years- lack of health
insurance
• we can no longer afford the waste, duplication, and
profits of private payers.
• Public payers are more efficient, provide more value,
and control costs better than private payers
• a larger role of government and public financing of
health care
• Progress of single-payer initiatives
Scope/Challenge
• Broadening scope and the shift to community
based mental health services introduce greater
levels of complexity, affecting the role
• Planning and management will take a more
central place, and accountability is likely to
become more transparent.

• Advocacy
• Case management
• Community care
• Psycho education
• Psychotherapy
Challenges towards de
institutionalization
• Reallocation of staff from hospital to
community based services
• Development of new set of competencies is
needed
Challenges related to
Lack of clinical guidelines
• Absence of national guidelines for mental
health nurses
• Lack of evidence based practice
• Lack of research
• Activity of professional bodies
Challenges in
Creating international network
• A lack of core indicators leads to invisibility and
marginalization of people affected by mental disorders
• Mental illness is not perceived as amenable to quick solutions
• Human resource planning
• Integration of mental health into the social development
sector
• Avoiding a narrow focus on psychosocial issues
• Access to mental health interventions
Challenges in Recovery-Focused care
• Recovery-focused care gives professionals an insight
into service users’ needs
• Involving family members in care and discussing how
mental illness affects all areas of a person’s life can
help to build trust
• A lack of time is often cited as a reason for nurses
not focusing on recovery
• Nurses can provide person-centred care by involving
service users in making decisions about their care
Challenges in Values-based education
• Acknowledging and respecting values is important
for building relationships between staff and patients
• Training to improve values-based practice has been
developed in Scotland
• Providing training outside a clinical environment
helps reduce distractions
• Group discussion helps increase awareness
• Evidence on how mental health nurses are applying
values-based care should be collected
Challenge in mental health
HEALTH INSURANCE
• MULTI PAYER V/S SINGLE PAYER
• SINGLE PAYER
• poor coverage
• Cost containment
difficult
• Cost sharing high
• No choice for doctor
and hospital
• Poor quality of care
possible
• Sustainable
• MULTIPAYER
• Good coverage
• Cost containment easy
• Cost haring low
• Free choice to select
doctor and hospital
• High quality of care

stigma on services for prevention and treatment of
mental health problems and psychiatric disorders.
• Works to influence decision-making bodies to improve
patient care
• Provides direction to enhance the effectiveness of the
healthcare team
Challenges in Future Measurement Criteria
• Provides direction to enhance the effectiveness of the
healthcare team
• Initiates and revises protocols or guidelines to reflect
evidence-based practice, to reflect accepted changes in care
management, or to address emerging problems.
• Promotes communication of information and advancement of
the profession through writing, publishing, and presentations
• Designs innovations to effect change in practice and improve
health outcomes.
“online disinhibition effect”
• excessive Internet use may be correlated with social
anxiety, depression, and introversion
• Examinations of Facebook pages
– detailed, publically accessible postings describing depressive
symptomatology and ongoing patterns of substance abuse
STUDY among aged between 10-17 found that the 5% of subjects
who reported symptoms of major depression spent more time
online and were more likely to post identifiable information (if
they were male) and pictures (if they were female)
“online disinhibition effect”
• Disclosure of patient-related information is often problematic
• health professionals “behaving badly” may call their clinical
judgment into question, raising doubts in patients' minds
about the quality of the treatment they will receive.
• Unreflective and excessive self-disclosure by nurses, especially
when they are engaged in psychotherapy, is another concern
inherent in their use of social media.- “black state”
• breakdown of boundaries in the nurse-patient relationship
“online disinhibition effect”
• groups of health professionals with similar interests;
share resources with colleagues (e.g., the SlideShare
website, which allows users to upload and share
Powerpoint presentations and other educational
materials)
“online disinhibition effect”
• “Twenty-first century
psychiatric nurse should be able
to be a cautious but vigorous
participant in the social media
revolution”
The giant ship engine that failed?
• The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but
none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been
fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a
large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he
immediately went to work. He inspected the engine
very carefully, top to bottom.
The giant ship engine that failed?
• Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this
man, hoping he would know what to do. After
looking things over, the old man reached into his bag
and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped
something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He
carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed
The giant ship engine that failed?
• A week later, the owners received a bill from the old
man for ten thousand dollars.“What?!” the owners
exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”
• So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please
send us an itemized bill.”
• The man sent a bill that read:
• Tapping with a hammer …………………
$ 2.00
• Knowing where to tap ……………………….
$ 9998.00
• Effort is important, but knowing
where to make an effort in your life
makes all the difference.
Take home message
• Misconception is a major challenge in mental health
even today.
• Priorities set in Helsinki Declaration are still remains
• Future Roles and Responsibilities are challenge in
psychiatric wards
• There is a Lack of clinical guidelines in mental health
• International network among mental health nurses is a

  • 8. A former student’s view • Mr X, 29, studied mental health nursing. He now works in an adult acute admission ward • “Throughout my studies and career so far it has been clear there are still many misconceptions of mental health nursing and patients - the expectation of violence as a daily feature of my job is still, without a doubt, a strong one. • In my spare time I practice kung fu and during one training session received a black eye; I was surprised by how many people assumed I’d received the injury at work.
  • 9. • “I think the most powerful tool we have in changing these misconceptions is challenging stigma as it arises. Advertising campaigns are all very well, but it’s in conversation with the general public that, as professionals, we can address these misconceptions and negative stereotypes.”
  • 10. Scope/Challenge • Misconceptions (both the public and fellow nursing professionals) - fuel for stigma and discrimination • The mental health nursing profession- subject of many misconceptions • The mental health nursing profession - “brand” • The responsibility for challenging misconceptions lies with each member of the mental health nursing community
  • 11. Scope/Challenge • Shift of practice from mental illness to mental health, leaving a vacuum in the care of serious mental illness. • Deinstitutionalization of mental illness care, with emptying out or closure of many public mental hospitals. • Limited access to urgent psychiatric care • Marked decline in hospital stays for patients with psychiatric disorders.
  • 12. Scope/Challenge • Inadequate reimbursement for time-consuming “talk therapy” without compensatory procedural reimbursement. • Lack of parity of coverage for physical and mental illness. • Rapid decline of psychotherapy and shift toward drug therapy and “med checks” practice.

Scope/Challenge • Expansion of criteria for psychiatric disorders in subsequent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders editions. • Growth of various mental health professions in practices not supervised by psychiatrists. • Criminalization of the seriously mentally ill, with misuse of jails as mental hospitals.
  • 14. Scope/Challenge • Income inequality and class differences have reached historic highs in recent years- lack of health insurance • we can no longer afford the waste, duplication, and profits of private payers. • Public payers are more efficient, provide more value, and control costs better than private payers • a larger role of government and public financing of health care • Progress of single-payer initiatives
  • 15. Scope/Challenge • Broadening scope and the shift to community based mental health services introduce greater levels of complexity, affecting the role • Planning and management will take a more central place, and accountability is likely to become more transparent.
  • 16. Challenges in • Community characteristics – MH configuration – Prevalence of disorders – Demand of services – Demographics • Institutional characteristics – Ownership – Facility type – Organization of services – Size and occupancy – Staff patient ratio – Source of payment • Provider characteristics – Demographics – Specialty training – Method of payment • Patient characteristics – Demographics – Insurance coverage – Risk factors – Protective factors

  • 27. Challenges towards de institutionalization • Reallocation of staff from hospital to community based services • Development of new set of competencies is needed
  • 28. Challenges related to Lack of clinical guidelines • Absence of national guidelines for mental health nurses • Lack of evidence based practice • Lack of research • Activity of professional bodies

  • 30. Challenges in Recovery-Focused care • Recovery-focused care gives professionals an insight into service users’ needs • Involving family members in care and discussing how mental illness affects all areas of a person’s life can help to build trust • A lack of time is often cited as a reason for nurses not focusing on recovery • Nurses can provide person-centred care by involving service users in making decisions about their care

  • 36. “online disinhibition effect” • excessive Internet use may be correlated with social anxiety, depression, and introversion • Examinations of Facebook pages – detailed, publically accessible postings describing depressive symptomatology and ongoing patterns of substance abuse STUDY among aged between 10-17 found that the 5% of subjects who reported symptoms of major depression spent more time online and were more likely to post identifiable information (if they were male) and pictures (if they were female)
  • 37. “online disinhibition effect” • Disclosure of patient-related information is often problematic • health professionals “behaving badly” may call their clinical judgment into question, raising doubts in patients' minds about the quality of the treatment they will receive. • Unreflective and excessive self-disclosure by nurses, especially when they are engaged in psychotherapy, is another concern inherent in their use of social media.- “black state” • breakdown of boundaries in the nurse-patient relationship
  • 38. “online disinhibition effect” • groups of health professionals with similar interests; share resources with colleagues (e.g., the SlideShare website, which allows users to upload and share Powerpoint presentations and other educational materials)
  • 39. “online disinhibition effect” • “Twenty-first century psychiatric nurse should be able to be a cautious but vigorous participant in the social media revolution”

He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
  • 41. The giant ship engine that failed? • Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed
  • 42. The giant ship engine that failed? • A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.“What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!” • So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.”
  • 43. • The man sent a bill that read: • Tapping with a hammer ………………… $ 2.00 • Knowing where to tap ………………………. $ 9998.00 • Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.
