1.1.1 Ethical Considerations Given that the client participant group is characteristically different to those implementing services, a separate section for ethical considerations was contemplated. As before the DH Research Governance Framework for Health and Social Care (2005) and BACP Ethical Framework (BACP, 2013) were consulted for guidance. Many of the same procedures regarding informed consent, confidentiality, data protection, and right to withdraw were re-enacted (see section Interviewing those Implementing Services: Ethical Considerations above). However, it is recognised that this sample represents a potentially vulnerable group, meaning certain approaches were altered to ensure the minimisation of harm. 1.1.1.1 Informed Consent …show more content…

There is a risk in research involving individuals who have engaged with mental healthcare services as they might not be able to give this consent on their own behalf, lacking the capacity to do so. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 safeguards these individuals by inviting participants to consult with someone such as a carer, should their capacity to give consent be affected. Given the IAPT programme’s inclusion criteria to treat individuals with mild-moderate CMHPs, this was judged to be less of a risk. The programme also implements a number of specialist services for individuals whose capacity may be affected by a learning disability (IAPT, 2009) meaning this would likely be flagged …show more content…

Given the sensitive topic and stigmatising attitudes surrounding mental healthcare, it can be difficult for individuals to be open and honest about the nature of their engagement with a psychotherapy service (Anderson & Brownlie, 2011; Evans-Lacko, Henderson & Thornicroft, 2013; Mind, 2013). Therefore, certain extra measures were put in place in respect of a participant’s contact information. This research involved the help of several IAPT services and their practitioners so that I would not have access to any of this information prior to them contacting me. Once potential participants expressed an interest their contact details were stored in a password protected folder on a University computer and all contact was made using a University phone line. These details were destroyed 30 days after the interview had taken place in order to allow a certain amount of time for any ongoing correspondence that may have been necessary. No identifiable contact information, including names, was attached to the transcripts, instead only being identifiable by their pseudonyms. Again, all transcripts had any identifiable information removed and this was made explicit to participants in order to allay any doubts they potentially

In the study “Assessing the quality of informed consent in a resource-limited setting: A cross-sectional study,” researchers investigated the process of obtaining informed consent in clinical and public health research. The method of the study utilized interviews, in which research participants were asked a series of questions after they had been through informed consent procedures. 600 participants were interviewed, and the results show that 5.9% believed that they were not given enough information before deciding to participate. Only 5.7% of the participants said that they had not signed a consent form before making the decision to participate. Interestingly, 33.7% reported that they were not aware of their power to withdraw from participation

Medicine has changed in ways over the years that one might have never thought twice about having anything like that happen to them. People today have increased their knowledge overall about their health situations and how to treat themselves. Patients are stepping up and making decisions about their healthcare choices each day with physicians. And in this process it has turned out to be so important for people to understand what is truly being done before medical treatment is given. We have talked this semester about informed consent and how important it is that our patients understand the meaning of what they are having done.

During the 1960s patients were often untold they were being used for research. “Like many doctors of this era TeLinde often used patients from the public wards for research without their knowledge.” (Skloot, 2010, p. 29). The doctors believed that since the patients were being treated for free they had the right to use them as subjects in research. However in today’s society while informed consent is a common practice there are still injustices where patient’s samples are being bought and sold without their knowledge.

The Victoria Government Department of Human Services (2012) stated “the freedom to make decisions which affect our lives is a fundamental right that each of us should enjoy”. The decisions we make in our lives represent who we are and how we want to be perceived by the world – whilst taking into consideration our own morals, beliefs and goals. Supported decision-making (SDM) is a process by which “a third-party assists or helps and individual with an intellectual or cognitive disability to make a legally enforceable decision for oneself” (Kohn & Blumenthal, 2013). May & Rea (2014) stated that “supported decision-making assumes that all people, regardless of their ability or disability, have some capacity to be involved in decision making”.

My first week was primarily filled with professional training. This training included the background of the International Council for Harmonisation, Good Clinical Practice, CFR, and the evolution of the ethical and regulatory foundations of human subject research. Studying the Declaration of Helsinki provided education regarding the ethical principles of clinical research. A large portion of my training was centered on the ethical principles of clinical research: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. To have adequate knowledge of the informed consent process I studied CFR 21, part 50, Protection of Human Subjects.

With the type of service that I work for the way that consent is obtained is through communication with the individuals care manager or funder who will complete an individual assessment, gain consent to share information with our service/ staff and will then forward this on to our service. Once we have received the referral with consent we will then arrange a date for a full assessment which will either be a face to face or telephone assessment where we will then discuss with the individual about consent, why we require consent and who information will be shared with. We will also explain that there are different levels of consent such as partial consent, this will be used for information relating to emergencies or to update family members

Such as, several hospitalization for mental health concerns, lack of training and education in medical staff that lead to improper referrals and occasionally chart reviews by a provider after a massive emergency. This has provoked patient leaving with out referrals and not being linked to care or being managed poorly. Many patients have stigma even being associated with the term ‘mental health’, which can then lead to no treatment at all (CORRIGAN & WATSON (2002). Another main focus is to provide the necessary information/resources to prepare practitioners for the arrival of integrated health care.

Ethical Issues in Group Therapy: Involuntary Membership Group psychotherapy is often voluntary, but sometimes members have been mandated by the court or other authorities to participate. Participation is usually easier for voluntary members since it doesn’t have the added psychological barrier of being forced to attend. For this reason, mandated members have difficulty with participation and are sometimes perceived as reluctant (Roth, 2005). It is important that members understand the dynamics within the group and what goals and processes are involved in being a part of that group. This essay will focus on the strategies of assisting group leaders and group members in engaging in the process of psychotherapy by providing informed consent, learning
