BACKGROUND Many people are affected by mental health conditions, yet its prevalence in certain populations are not well documented. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to describe the attributes of people with mental health conditions in U.S and SG in terms of: perception of mental health recovery and its correlates such as strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience. With the findings, not only could the knowledge base for mental health recovery in both countries be enhanced but interventions and policies relating to self-efficacy, resourcefulness and de-stigmatization for mental health recovery could be informed. METHODS A A cross-sectional, descriptive study with convenience sample of 200 community dwelling adults were selected, 100 pax from the United States (U.S) and 100 pax from Singapore (SG). Adults with serious mental illnesses without substance abuse impacting on their recovery were recruited. Participants completed self-administered questionaires measuring their mental health recovery, strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience. RESULTS This study offered the unique opportunity to examine mental health recovery as well as its correlates such as strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience from both the United States and Singapore. While the perception of mental health recovery and positive attributes like strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness remained strong in participants with serious mental illnesses across both countries, people with serious mental illnesses in both countries still experienced negative perception like stigma. The findings would not only inform strategies to promote mental health recovery but also enhance the focus on correlates such as strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness across both countries. CONCLUSIONS The findings would not only inform strategies to promote mental health recovery but also enhance the focus on correlates such as strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness across both countries.

Serious Mental Illnesses

This study will explore the relationships among strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness, stigma experience and mental health recovery in community-dwelling adults with serious mental illnesses. Mental health practices have focued on psychopathphysiology. Stigma heavily plagued clients with mental illnesses and is one of the greatest barriers to mental health recovery. Personal strengths like strengths self-efficacy, people’s confidence in using their personal strengths, and resourcefulness, the ability to carry out daily activities, have been linked to positive mental health. However, the linkage between strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and mental health recovery remains uncharted. A cross-sectional, descriptive, mixed methods study will be conducted. A funded study by the Sigma Theta Tau, Upsilon Eta Chapter, August 2013, involving a convenience sample of 100 participants is planned. Included are community dwelling adults between 21 to 65 years old having been diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. Clients with current co-occurring substance abuse will be excluded. Participants complete questionnaires and undergo an interview. Correlations among the study variables will be examined. Regression analysis will determine if recovery can be predicted by strengths self-efficacy, resourcefulness and stigma experience. Interview data will be transcribed and analyzed by thematic analysis. This study will look beyond clients’ disability to focus on their recovery and healing capacities such as strengths self-efficacy and resourcefulness. Findings will expand our knowledge about mental health recovery. Knowledge gained from this study may pave the way for future nursing strategies to aid recovery and inform the development of positive, strengths-based interventions.

We investigated the influence of self-efficacy on work performance and its mediated link through work engagement by developing a theoretical model based on a literature review. Data from 241 employees of 3 banking companies in China showed that self-efficacy was significantly correlated with work engagement, and work engagement was significantly correlated with work performance. Structural equation modeling results indicated that work engagement acted as a partial mediator in the self-efficacy–work performance relationship. These findings highlight the role of work engagement as a key factor in work-related well-being that can change the effects of self-efficacy on work performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Prohibitive Voice

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, this work replicates the existing research by examining the links between job autonomy and work-related self-efficacy; and, second, it extends the literature by investigating the relationships between work-related self-efficacy and two forms of voice such as promotive and prohibitive and by measuring the mediating role of self-efficacy on the link between job autonomy and promotive and prohibitive voice. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a self-administered instrument to conduct a survey among 1,227 highly skilled employees. The researchers received a total of 904 questionnaires. After disregarding the non-usable questionnaires, the authors retained 813 questionnaires for the study. The overall response rate was 66 percent. Findings The results suggest that work-related self-efficacy has a significant relationship with prohibitive voice and mediates the link between job autonomy and prohibitive voice. Meanwhile, the findings of this study indicate that there is no significant association between work-related self-efficacy and promotive voice. Originality/value This work is the first to identify the association between work-related self-efficacy and prohibitive voice and the mediating role of work-related self-efficacy on the association between job autonomy and prohibitive voice.

ObjectiveAssertive community treatment (ACT) is an evidence-based practice that increases community integration for people living with serious mental illness. Additionally, the multidisciplinary ACT model contains a vocational component. The current study will assess whether work-related self-efficacy is predictive of ACT consumers engaging in career-oriented activities.MethodsSixty-eight participants enrolled in ACT met with research staff. Demographic information and data on their level of work-related self-efficacy, psychiatric symptoms, their current employment status, and whether they were enrolled in an educational or training program were collected.ResultsNineteen participants or 19% were engaged in career-oriented activities. Additionally, the findings showed that work-related self-efficacy was a significant predictor of career-oriented activities, Wald χ2= 5.9,p= .016, with a Nagelkerker2= .23, while psychiatric symptoms were not a significant predictor.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the SCCT variable work-related self-efficacy is predictive of career-oriented activities among a sample of ACT participants who have a range of interest in pursuing employment and other career-related activities.

Assertive community treatment (ACT) provides comprehensive clinical services, including vocational rehabilitation, to individuals with psychiatric disorders for which traditional community mental health services are insufficient. ACT is an evidence-based intervention yielding many positive outcomes, yet service recipients continue to struggle with workforce involvement. The purpose of this study is to determine whether internalized stigma, psychiatric hospitalization, and psychiatric symptoms are associated with work-related self-efficacy among ACT service recipients. A total of 72 individuals with severe mental illness were recruited from ACT programs in three counties in a Mid-Atlantic state. Multiple linear regression was conducted to examine the relationship between work-related self-efficacy and the independent variables of internalized stigma, psychiatric hospitalization, and psychiatric symptoms. Higher internalized stigma scores were negatively associated with work-related self-efficacy (β = −.31, t = −2.32, p < .05), while psychiatric hospitalization in the past year was positively associated with work-related self-efficacy (β = .22−.27, t = −2.13, p < .05). Findings from this study suggests internalized stigma to be an important recovery variable requiring the attention of ACT team members when preparing individuals for work, while countering the assumption that recent hospitalization is a barrier to work-related self-efficacy.

Moderating Role

This chapter examines the relationship between team learning behavior and employee work related self- efficacy beliefs and further explores the moderating role of individual difference variables, such as masculinity–femininity and uncertainty avoidance values. The study tested three hypotheses using a sample of employees from a large public organization in Pakistan. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between team learning behavior and employee perceptions of their self-efficacy. Regarding the moderating role of individual differences, the data showed that the link between team learning and self-efficacy was stronger for individuals scoring high (versus low) on masculinity orientation. However, the results revealed no empirical evidence to confirm the hypothesis that employees scoring low on uncertainty avoidance will perceive a stronger relationship between team learning and self-efficacy.

Law enforcement, lawmakers, and the public are increasingly concerned about how people with mental illness are treated within the criminal justice system. This chapter focuses on the role of public psychiatrists in the provision of timely evaluation, expertise, and care for individuals in custody—particularly for individuals with serious mental illnesses. A case-based discussion illuminates important aspects of the legal and health care challenges facing individuals at the time of arrest, arraignment, incarceration, trial, and community re-entry. The chapter discusses mental hygiene law, criminal procedure law, advocacy, and the formation of policy with an emphasis on fitness to stand trial. Appropriate diversion of individuals with mental illness from incarceration, and its role in helping these individuals to achieve recovery, is explored in detail.
