Dissociative identity disorder and the nurse-patient relationship in the acute care setting: An action research study
摘要:
ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of an action research study into the acute care experience of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The study, which was grounded in principles of critical social science, utilized focus group interviews and narrative construction. Nurses and patients are under‐represented in all clinical evaluation and their voices need to be heard if services are to be truly collaborative. Findings of the study extend intrapsychic theories of trauma to emphasize the interpersonal relationship between nurse and person who can work together to facilitate recovery from trauma, make connections both intra and interpersonally and build resilience.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to assess the impact of a suicide intervention program from a consumer perspective. Self‐administered questionnaires were distributed to consumers who had been referred to a suicide intervention counsellor in the 2‐year period of the programme in rural southwest Western Australia. Three‐quarters of respondents were positive about their experience with the service, with half of the respondents no longer having thoughts of suicide and only 20% of all respondents reporting having attempted deliberate self‐harm postcounselling. Reported suicidal ideation and attempted self‐harm were much higher in the dissatisfied group. Dissatisfaction of respondents stemmed from the history of their treatment and ‘the hassle created by the many systems for them to access care’. However, the overall outcome of this study is that, from the consumer’s perspective, a high intensity approach to suicide intervention resolved or improved the presenting problem and their ability to deal with it.
