Service provision: Education and training
National Institute for Mental Health in
England (NIMHE, 2003) –
Clinicians can be reluctant to work with
people with PD:
Feel lacking in skills
Need training
Need resources for treatment
v
Westwood and Baker (2010) – further training and supervision needed to improve
relationships between staff and service users.
D & G – Lack of training perceived as one of
the biggest challenges in work. 86%
interested in receiving training.
NIMHE (2003) – training
should be team focussed
and tailored to the needs
of specific services.
Mental health nurses display
significantly higher levels of social
distance when it comes to
services users with a BPD
diagnosis compared to those
with other mental health
difficulties (Westwood & Baker,
2010).
Service users with a BPD diagnosis
attracted more negative responses
from staff than those with a
diagnosis of depression or
schizophrenia (Markham et al.,
2003).
Positive therapeutic relationships
are well recognised to be
associated with positive outcomes
for services users.
Therefore, staff training which
challenges negative attitudes and
encourages consistent and
positive relationships may have a
significant impact on services user
outcome.
AIM: To improve services for
those with PD by meeting the
training needs of NHS, voluntary
and private sector employees in D
&G
TAILORING: Use various training
methods to inform about PD in
general, but also to stimulate
discussion about:
- Staff experiences of PD
- Attitudes towards services users
with a PD
- Difficulties for people with PD
when using services
- Considering what can be done to
improve services
