CNC:MH 92446: Assessment 2 – Collaborative Practice and Experts by Experience

Students’ Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is meant by key terms and why do we need to define them?
The key terms in this assignment are:
• collaborative nurse-consumer relationship
• living with the effects of a mental disorder (lived experiences or expert by experience)

By defining these terms, you are demonstrating your understanding of them to the reade
marker.
The definitions should be supported by references to relevant literature that you have consulted.

2. Should I focus on a specific mental disorde
illness in Part (i) of the discussion?
No, the question is not asking you to identify and discuss a specific mental disorder or illness. This
assignment is not a discussion of a medical diagnosis nor the signs and symptoms of that diagnosed
disorder.

Focus on the importance of nurses gaining an understanding of the health care consumer’s lived
experiences of mental disorde
illness when developing a collaborative nurse-consumer relationship.

3. Is the discussion about Peer Workers with lived experiences of mental disorde
illness?
No. Peer workers are professionals and members of the interdisciplinary team and, therefore, are not
healthcare consumers with whom you are developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

The discussion should focus on developing collaborative nurse-consumer relationships; the therapeutic
elationship between a nurse and a person/healthcare consumer who has a lived experience of a
mental disorder.

4. Are collaborative nurse-consumer relationships only about the consumer’s expertise?
A collaborative nurse-consumer relationship recognizes the expertise of both members: the person
with expertise living with the effects of a mental disorde
illness and the person with
professional/learnt expertise. Some nurses will have professional and lived expertise.

5. In Part (ii) of the discussion, do I need to use a specific model of reflection, such as the Gi
s’
model of reflection?

No, you are not required to identify and utilise a model of reflection for this assignment.

6. In Part (ii) of the discussion, should I discuss nurses’ practice generally?
You are specifically required to identify one aspect of your own practice that you believe needs
development in order for you to work collaboratively with healthcare consumers who have
experienced a mental disorder.

7. Can I use references from websites?
Whilst websites from Government and Non-government Organisations are acceptable, you are
equired to consult and incorporate peer-reviewed literature to support the discussion of both parts of
this assignment.
A minimum of eight peer-reviewed articles are required to support your discussion.

8. Do I need to refer to peer-reviewed nursing literature?
Given that this assignment is asking you to (i) discuss collaborative nurse-consumer relationships in the
context of consumers’ lived experiences and (ii) the development of your own nursing practice, it is
wise to consult and incorporate where possible, nursing literature to support your discussion.

9. Is it really alright to use ‘I’ in Part (ii) of the discussion?
Yes, when you are discussing the aspect of your own practice that you wish to develop in order to work
more collaboratively, it is acceptable to use the pronoun, ‘I’. The ideas in this section of the discussion
however, must also be supported by relevant literature.

Introduction
In the UK, there has also been wide recognition that the characteristic, strength and form of the customer- therapist or clinician relation affect mental health and therapeutic results. It is expected in the UK that people using services of mental health is going to be involved as partners equally at each level (Rahman, Davidson and Hanyok 2019). The expectation from the consumers in Australia is that they influence and contribute to planning, service delivery as well as policy within a system promoting collaboration and participation; also the customers are agents who are active in both of the rehabilitation as well as recovery- focusing journeys instead of recipients passively of intervening clinically. Collaboration in nursing acts as a model by which a patient is being treated in a collaborative manner by the help of the inter-professional basis. Mental health customers got the encouragement for working with collaboration with the clinician’s partnership and for participating in decision-making regarding the service delivery, spectrum of treatment and developing policy (Lowery, Scott and Swanson 2016). For the nurses of mental health, the expectation of profession is explicit of maintaining their practice reflecting their value for a ‘consultative and collaborative approach for caring’.

It has been understood by the nurses that collaborating with consumers was passed in the particular working relationship having defined roles, boundaries and expectations (Reid, Escott and Isobel 2018). The therapeutic framework contained relationship aimed to influence the development and well-being of consumers, and the orientation was towards achieving goals by the consumers. The specific features of therapeutic relationship that has been observed were respect, trust and honesty. It has been understood by the nurses that communicating effectively was main process of collaboration with consumers and to recognise and validate their beliefs and feelings by discussing and listening were significant, whereas to agree was not so important. 
Consumers’ understanding of collaboration
The understanding of nurse-consumer collaboration revealed by the focus group process is given below collectively by consumers:
The working together of consumer and nurse is collaboration as a portion of a big team intending to promote the welfare of consumer and to help the consumer resolving specific problems. The process to work together is liberal incorporating communication of two-ways respectfully. Collaboration with the nurses was acknowledged by the consumers usually happened in one-to-one relation; however, it has been understood by them that working with collaboration as to be much more than both people who were there physically (Rahman, Davidson and Hanyok 2019). Collaborative work with the nurses was valued by them that accessed the wide communication with different health professionals. 
It was believed by the consumers that the ultimate focus of the collaboration was to assist them for returning to living in community, so, they took it as working by problems and challenges for discussing ideas, developing solutions and seeking advice (Riegel, Delp and Ward 2018). They considered collaboration as a democratic process in which the communication was fair, open, respectful, and truthful, and consumers could convey their perspectives.
Nurses’ experience of collaboration
Though collaboration is identified to be a challenging method, nurses wished in working with collaboration with consumers and perceived the necessity of personal skills and confidence for doing so was possessed. The following has been extracted from the participants of focus group:
Collaboration is the process of high variation fluctuating in duration and intensity.
