“…It was the Internet based information technology that searched her hometown and the phone numbers and we were able to contact the family members. According to Harry Minas and Hervita Diatri one of the reasons for physical confinement of mentally ill by their relatives is their concern about the person wandering off or running away 7 . Wandering off not only causes emotional turmoil to the families but also makes the person vulnerable to physical, emotional and psychological abuse and other kinds of exploitation.…”

ABSTRACT:It is not unusual for mentally ill person to wander away from their homes under the influence of their illness. Often such wandering patients are admitted to mental health facilities under various provision of the mental health act (MHA) as prevalent in the country such as the use of Reception Order (RO) under the Indian mental health act. Many a times because of long standing nature of illness, intellectual sub-normality, long duration of untreated psychosis and associated cognitive impairment these patients are unable to give adequate details of their residence especially those out of state and tend to languish for long periods in mental health care facilities. We present one such out of state patient with inadequate residential details who was relocated back to her community with the help of modern internet based information technology.

“…Pencegahan tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan dukungan keluarga sebagai upaya perawatan secara langsung sehingga keluarga lebih dapat memahami masalah yang dihadapi oleh pasien gangguan jiwa (Minas & Diatri, 2008). Dalam hal ini sangat dibutuhkan pendekatan holistik, yaitu manusia harus dipandang sebagai suatu keseluruhan yang paripurna, dan keluarga sebagai faktor lingkungan yang terdekat dengan penderita.…”

AbstrakKeluarga yang memiliki anggota keluarga dengan skizofrenia mengalami isolasi sosial karena stigma yang melekat pada penderita. Oleh karena itu, penderita skizofrenia sering kali disembunyikan dan dikucilkan agar tidak diketahui oleh masyarakat. Padahal persepsi keluarga yang positif sangat dibutuhkan dalam perawatan pasien skizofrenia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui persepsi keluarga terhadap skizofrenia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 80 responden, yang diambil dengan menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner persepsi keluarga mengenai skizofrenia yang dikembangkan sendiri oleh peneliti dengan hasil uji reliabilitas sebesar 0.70. Analisis data pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dalam bentuk analisis nilai mean. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden (62,5%) memiliki persepsi positif terhadap skizofrenia, sedangkan sisanya sebanyak 30 responden (37,5%) memiliki persepsi negatif terhadap skizofrenia. Hal ini menunjukkan masih terdapatnya persepsi keluarga yang negatif terhadap skizofrenia. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan perawat untuk merubah persepsi keluarga tersebut adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan kepada keluarga tentang skizofrenia. selain itu, rumah sakit jiwa perlu mengembangkan promosi kesehatan di masyarakat agar terciptanya persepsi yang positif terhadap skizofrenia.Kata kunci: Deskriptif kuantitatif, keluarga, persepsi, skizofrenia.

“…A community study in Indonesia indicates that psychiatric patients who have lived in rural district had restrained up to 21 years (Minas and Diatri 2008). A qualitative study in Australia explored that seclusion and restraint practices were considered as unnecessarily overused and exacerbating problems for individuals, careers and staffs in mental health settings (Brophy et al 2016).…”

BackgroundEven though United Nation announced that all persons with a mental illness shall be treated with humanity and respect for the inherent dignity of the human being, up to now, the use of coercion (physical restrain) is still considered as unavoidable in managing abnormal behavior of psychiatric patients. But, there is no information regarding the magnitude and contributing factors of physical restrain among bipolar patients in low-income countries like Ethiopia.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital from May 1 to June 1, 2015 among 400 participants who were selected by systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by interviewing; adjusted odd ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used and p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.ResultsThe prevalence of physical restrain was 65%. Factors like, having two or more episodes [AOR = 1.84 95% CI (1.16, 2.93)], history of aggression [AOR = 2.14, 95% CI (1.26, 3.63)], comorbid illness [AOR = 1.76, 95% CI (1.26, 3.63)], use of antipsychotic [AOR = 1.79, 95% CI (1.08, 2.95)] and current use of Khat [AOR = 1.83, 95% CI (1.10, 3.04)] were associated significantly.ConclusionsThe prevalence of physical restraint is found high among bipolar patients and it needs public health attention.
