While there is a small, growing literature that considers the psychological safety of researchers, little attention has been paid in the qualitative literature to the wellbeing of transcriptionists. Transcriptionists play an integral and essential role in qualitative research but are often overlooked in terms of the emotional impact of the work. In the article we have interviewed transcriptionists and, using grounded theory, we illustrated that that they experienced emotional distress and feelings of helplessness. We showed that while they had some internal coping mechanisms they nonetheless also expressed a need to talk about their feelings. Furthermore the general lack of safeguarding protocols made the role more challenging. At the end of the analysis the core category we identified was the risk of secondary traumatic stress. We thus made some recommendations for safeguarding transcriptionists and called for further research in this area.
In this article, we present discursive psychology (DP), a qualitative approach that focuses on the study of conversational and textual materials, including everyday interactions. Although DP is well-established methodologically and theoretically and used widely in Europe and in the Commonwealth countries, it is relatively unknown in counseling psychology in the United States. As such, the purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of DP and offer guidance for researchers who may be interested in studying and using DP. We thus discuss practical considerations for doing DP, including the development of research questions, carrying out data collection, and conducting DP-informed analysis. We also provide a general overview of the history of DP and key resources for those interested in studying it further, while noting the usefulness of DP for counseling psychology.
Relevance statementIn community psychiatric nursing, asking questions about risk is a fundamental part of the mental health assessment. This paper examines actual assessments in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) community setting, with a focus on the ways that questions about self-harm and suicidal ideation were composed. The research highlights the issue that in many cases self-harm and suicide questions were not routinely asked. Of those that were a particular way of asking was found to be successful. The relevance to psychiatric nursing practice is to demonstrate how to introduce conversations about self-harm and suicide with children and young people.Accepted in Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing17th June 2016. O'reilly, MJ;Kiyimba, N;Karim, K. 2 "This is a question we have to ask everyone": Asking children about self-harm and suicide AbstractIntroduction: Questions about self-harm and suicide are essential in risk assessments with children and young people, yet little is known about how mental health practitioners do this. Aim:The core aim was to examine how questions about self-harm and suicidal ideation are asked in real world practice.Method: A qualitative design was employed to analyse 28 video-recorded naturally occurring mental health assessments in a child and adolescent mental health service. Data were analysed using conversation analysis (CA).Results: In 13 cases young people were asked about self-harm and suicide, but 15 were not.Analysis revealed how practitioners asked these questions. Two main styles were revealed.First was an incremental approach, beginning with inquiries about emotions and behaviours, building to asking about self-harm and suicidal intent. Second was to externalise the question as being required by outside agencies. Discussion:The study concluded that the design of risk questions to young people had implications for how open they were to engaging with the practitioner. Implications for practice:The study has implications for training and practice for psychiatric nurses and other mental health practitioners in feeling more confident in communicating with young people about self-harm and suicidal ideation.Accepted in Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing17th June 2016. O'reilly, MJ;Kiyimba, N;Karim, K. 3 Accessible summaryWhat is known on the subject: An essential part of mental health assessment is to evaluate the risk of harm to self.Fundamentally this involves asking directly about self-harming behaviour and suicidal thoughts or urges, but practitioners often find it difficult to open up these conversations. This evaluation of risk is particularly important as self-harm and suicidal thoughts are frequently found in young people who attend mental health services.What this paper adds to existing knowledge: Young people are not always routinely asked directly about self-harm or suicidal thoughts when they are assessed. There are two ways that mental health practitioners introduce this topic: first, by building up to it by asking first ab...
