“…In conclusion, there are some important implications for social work practice in Australia as social workers have been traditionally working with families in mental health settings (Bland, 1987). The importance of social workers doing family work, recognizing family carers as important partners in the service system, and working in the broad psychosocial framework that includes community social work and group work when dealing with families in mental health settings is outlined (Bland & Renouf, 2006).…”

Little is known about the experience of Chinese migrants to Australia who are caring for a person with schizophrenia. The research was exploratory in nature, providing information on the health, help-seeking behaviors, burden, and caring experiences of Chinese carers of people with schizophrenia in Melbourne. Ethnic Chinese carers of people with schizophrenia were recruited. Health care or social service professionals were also interviewed to understand the context of Chinese migrants in seeking help for mental health problems and caring for someone with psychiatric illness. Recommendations for Chinese migrants facing mental health problems and challenges for social work practice are described.

“…The literature refers to four main ways a researcher becomes an insider. A researcher can be described as an insider when she or he has 1. experienced that which is being researched (Farnsworth, 1996), 2. experienced that which is being researched and has a personal relationship with many of the participants (Sherry, 2002), 3. been part of the community being researched (Bolak, 1995), or 4. worked with the population under study (Bland 1987;Coglan 2000, cited in Sherry, 2002.

Insider Research with Family Members who have a Member Living with Rare Cancer

In this article the author explores insider research in relation to family members facing a diagnosis of rare cancer, using her experiences as one such family member undertaking doctoral research into journeys similar to hers. The "insider" issue is explored through three realms: the ethical realm, including issues of "fitness" to undertake the research; the methodological realm, including how data are obtained and used; and the trustworthiness realm, including research rigor. The exploration of her insider experiences includes personal challenges in relation to facing familiar emotionally charged experiences, insights gained as a result of her insider status, and her ability to join with participants in ways that might not be possible for an outsider. In the paper the author challenges taken-for-granted assumptions that trustworthiness can be assured only from the position of "objective" researcher. Rather, this analysis places knowledge gained through the processes and products of research as constituted and contextualized.

An audit of hospital records of 542 patients diagnosed as having schizophrenia discharged in the years 1986-88 from the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, showed that 46% of patients left hospital to live with other family members, usually parents or spouses. Analysis of destination suggested that the extent of patient-family connectedness increases when the patient is younger, has had fewer admissions, or has had the illness for a shorter period of time.
