There is a paucity of research exploring Indigenous women's experiences in acute mental health inpatient services in Australia. Even less is known of Indigenous women's experience of seclusion events, as published data are rarely disaggregated by both indigeneity and gender. This research used secondary analysis of pre-existing datasets to identify any quantifiable difference in recorded experience between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, and between Indigenous women and Indigenous men in an acute mental health inpatient unit. Standard separation data of age, length of stay, legal status, and discharge diagnosis were analysed, as were seclusion register data of age, seclusion grounds, and number of seclusion events. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and where warranted, inferential statistical methods used SPSS software to apply analysis of variance/multivariate analysis of variance testing. The results showed evidence that secondary analysis of existing datasets can provide a rich source of information to describe the experience of target groups, and to guide service planning and delivery of individualized, culturally-secure mental health care at a local level. The results are discussed, service and policy development implications are explored, and suggestions for further research are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To investigate trends in hospital admissions involving suicidal behaviour in the Northern Territory (NT) resident population over the period 2001-2013.Methods: Estimates of age-standardised rates and average changes in the annual rate of hospital admissions involving suicidal behaviour were calculated by socio-demographic characteristics and types of suicidal behaviour.Results: Overall rates for Indigenous admissions were 2.7 times higher than non-Indigenous admissions and had increased by almost twice as much. While male and female rates of admission were similar for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents, the average annual change in rates was greater for Indigenous females (13.4%) compared to males (8.8%) and for non-Indigenous males (7.7%) compared to females (5.2%). Younger and middle-aged Indigenous admissions experienced increasing rates of admissions, whilst trends were similar across age groups for non-Indigenous admissions. Admissions with a diagnosis of suicidal ideation increased the most across all groups. Trends in intentional self-harm admissions differed according to Indigenous status and sex.Conclusions: There have been substantial increases in hospital admissions involving suicidal behaviour in the NT, most markedly for Indigenous residents. Indigenous females and youth appear to be at increasing risk. The steep increase in suicidal ideation across all groups warrants further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses directs that mental health nurses must 'enable cultural safety in practice, taking into account age, gender, spirituality, ethnicity and health values'. The present study is a review of the existing literature undertaken in order to identify current knowledge and knowledge gaps regarding the experience of Indigenous women in acute mental health inpatient facilities. In particular, studies that identified environments and practices promoting the development of culturally-safe healing spaces for Indigenous women, and studies that identified women's experience of seclusion, were sought. The results showed that there is little literature directly relevant to Indigenous women's experiences of inpatient mental health units in Australia. The present study consolidates existing knowledge and knowledge gaps, and advances the argument for gender-disaggregated future research. Implications for professional practice and service development are also noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To report the impact of the Indigenous e-mental health training course 'Yarning about Indigenous Mental Health using the AIMhi Stay Strong App'.Method: Participants were trained in e-mental health and the use of one of the first culturally adapted e-mental health interventions - The AIMhi Stay Strong App. Between October 2013 and December 2014, 138 participants completed the 'Yarning about Indigenous Mental Health using the AIMhi Stay Strong App' training course and 130 completed pre- and post-training questionnaires to explore knowledge and confidence in a number of areas trained.Results: Paired t-tests showed significant improvements across all measures of skill and knowledge except for confidence in using computers.Conclusions: E-mental health is a relatively new development that may contribute to improved access to mental health services for rural and remote Indigenous Australians, particularly where such tools are culturally adapted. Whilst current knowledge and use of e-mental health tools in this group of Northern Territory service providers was limited, perceived knowledge and confidence in use was significantly improved following training.

Indigenous people are over-represented in inpatient mental health care in Australia. Evidence suggests client-orientated care planning increase client engagement, reduce substance dependence and improve self-management among Indigenous people. The successful uptake and implementation of interventions, however, which promote access and cultural security in primary care practice, remains challenging. The Aboriginal and Islander Mental Health initiative introduced a multi-faceted approach to client-oriented care planning, as part of routine care to the Royal Darwin Hospital inpatient psychiatric unit, to determine whether there was change in the quality of care to Indigenous clients over time. The study used a mixed methods design. It was underpinned by an action-oriented research approach and incorporated stakeholder engagement, interactive training in strengths based recovery approach and psycho-education and a quantitative audit of inpatient files. The results suggest some improvements in quality of care for clients in the inpatient unit with increased attention to social and family history, involvement of translators, and allocation of case managers. Cross-cultural training and tools promoted change in some aspects of clinical practice. Some changes, however, were often not sustained and it did not necessarily promote engagement of AMHWs in routine care. Greater emphases on follow up training and provision of clinician feedback, in conjunction with high-level system change and commitment to introduction of culturally adapted recovery principles, is required for more sustained changes to clinician care and implementation success.

Little is known about the performance of outcome instruments with consumers of different cultural backgrounds. We report a study of using routine outcome measures with Indigenous adult mental health consumers, whereby mental health clinicians used two leading Australian measures with consumers who self-identified as Indigenous. Mean scores on most items were different from the predominantly non-Indigenous national averages; some, particularly those assessing accommodation and occupation, were worse while others (those assessing depression) were better. Scores were consistently worse when more informants were involved in the assessment. A set of good practice principles for the use of standardized measures with Indigenous consumers was developed. They recommend using informants whenever possible, ratings should objectively reflect underlying disadvantage and behaviours that are not sanctioned or accepted within the local culture, but not phenomena that are socially or culturally accepted. Despite the advice and training, most assessments did not involve additional informants. The (mainly non-Indigenous) clinicians mostly indicated no additional difficulty in using the outcome measures with the Indigenous consumers, although clinicians reported greater difficulty in completing them when additional informants were present. In 52% of assessments, clinicians felt that the scales reflected the consumer's problems reasonably, and in 22%, well. Perceived validity was positively associated with consumer engagement. The study provides qualified support for the practice of using the HoNOS and LSP for routine outcome assessment with Indigenous consumers. The main provisos are that clinicians need to maximize the engagement of consumers and try to ensure involvement of additional informants to reduce the chances of invalid assessments.

Objectives: To explore relapse prevention strategies in remote Indigenous people with mental illness. Method: A mixed methods design in which an exploratory phase of qualitative research was followed by a nested randomised controlled trial and concurrent collection of qualitative data over 18 months. The research team collected detail of early warning signs of relapse from clients at each data collection point. Results: Indigenous people with mental illness identified a range of warning signs of relapse and those signs were similar to those found in other studies. Conclusions: The study supports exploration of early warning signs routinely at assessment as an important relapse prevention strategy. It is important that information and education about common prodromal symptoms of relapse is delivered in language and format which is accessible to Indigenous people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To develop and evaluate a culturally adapted brief intervention for Indigenous people with chronic mental illness. Design: A mixed methods design in which an exploratory phase of qualitative research was followed by a nested randomised controlled trial. Setting: Psycho-education resources and a brief intervention, motivational care planning (MCP), were developed and tested in collaboration with aboriginal mental health workers in three remote communities in northern Australia. Participants: A total of 49 patients with mental illness and 37 carers were recruited to a randomised controlled trial that compared MCP (n = 24) with a clinical control condition (treatment as usual, n = 25). Intervention: The early treatment group received MCP at baseline and the late treatment group received delayed treatment at six months. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was mental health problem severity as measured by the health of the nation outcome scales. Secondary measures of well-being (Kessler 10), life skills, self-management and substance dependence were chosen. Outcome assessments were performed at baseline, six-month, 12-month and 18-month follow up. Results: Random effects regression analyses showed significant advantage for the treatment condition in terms of well-being with changes in health of the nation outcome scales (P < 0.001) and Kessler 10 (P = 0.001), which were sustained over time. There was also significant advantage for treatment for alcohol dependence (P = 0.05), with response also evident in cannabis dependence (P = 0.064) and with changes in substance dependence sustained over time. Conclusions: These results suggest that MCP is an effective treatment for Indigenous people with mental illness and provide insight into the experience of mental illness in remote communities.
