Abstract

This study sought to understand the unique types of social support salient to mental health service-users from the perspective of case managers. The sample consisted of case managers working in county mental health agencies in the southwest and west coast. Data was gathered from three focus groups and analyzed using NVivo 10 and Consensual Qualitative Research. Six themes were described including relational support, consistency support, validation and affirmation support, social connection support, day-to-day living support and vocational support. While the social support domains described in this study share conceptual underpinnings with traditional conceptualizations of support, our findings reveal unique types of support from the perspective of case managers. Findings from this study offer an important perspective-case managers-to the extant body of research investigating the meaning of social support for people with lived mental health experiences. Of particular interest is the finding that relational support, affirmative and validation support, and consistency support are salient case manager functions.

社会支持对心理健康服务使用者的意义:个案管理者的视角。
本研究试图从个案管理者的角度来了解心理健康服务使用者所需要的独特社会支持类型。样本包括在西南部和西海岸地区的县级心理健康机构工作的个案经理。我们从三个焦点小组中收集了数据,并使用 NVivo 10 和共识定性研究对数据进行了分析。研究描述了六个主题,包括关系支持、一致性支持、验证和肯定支持、社会联系支持、日常生活支持和职业支持。虽然本研究中描述的社会支持领域与传统的支持概念有相同的概念基础,但我们的研究结果从个案管理者的角度揭示了独特的支持类型。本研究的结果为调查社会支持对有心理健康生活经历的人的意义的现有研究提供了一个重要的视角--个案管理者。特别值得关注的是,我们发现关系支持、肯定和验证支持以及一致性支持是个案管理者的突出职能。

期刊介绍: Community Mental Health Journal focuses on the needs of people experiencing serious forms of psychological distress, as well as the structures established to address those needs. Areas of particular interest include critical examination of current paradigms of diagnosis and treatment, socio-structural determinants of mental health, social hierarchies within the public mental health systems, and the intersection of public mental health programs and social/racial justice and health equity. While this is the journal of the American Association for Community Psychiatry, we welcome manuscripts reflecting research from a range of disciplines on recovery-oriented services, public health policy, clinical delivery systems, advocacy, and emerging and innovative practices.
