How People with Lived Experiences of Substance Use Understand and Experience User Involvement in Substance Use Care: A Synthesis of Qualitative Studies.

There is a need for more knowledge on how people with substance use problems (SUPs) understand and experience user involvement when receiving care. In this systematic review, we identify and reanalyse the existing qualitative research that explores how people with lived experiences of substance use understand user involvement, and their experiences of key practices for achieving user involvement. We systematically searched seven electronic databases. We applied Noblit and Hare’s meta-ethnography, revised by Malterud, to identify, translate, and summarise the studies. The electronic search resulted in 2065 articles. We conducted a full-text evaluation of 63 articles, of which 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. The primary studies’ synthesis reveals three different understandings of user involvement: user involvement as joint meaning production, points of view represented, and user representation in welfare services. Key practices for achieving user involvement involved seeing and respecting the service user as a unique person, the quality of the interactional process, and the scope of action for people with SUPs, as well as professionals, including issues of stigma, power, and fatalism. The metasynthesis recognises the ambiguity of the concept of user involvement concept and the importance of including the service user’s perspective when defining user involvement. The analysis of key practices emphasises the importance of relational processes and contextual aspects when developing user involvement concepts.

S222. A SYSTEMATIC AND METHODOLOGICAL REVIEW OF RECENT SOCIAL FUNCTIONING MEASURES AND APPROACHES

BackgroundMany people with a psychosis diagnosis have significant impairments in their social functioning. Despite this, long standing lack of consensus exists in the definition of social functioning in psychosis. Efforts to evaluate interventions for social functioning are hampered by measurement difficulties, and comparing interventions is difficult. Popular measures of social functioning vary widely, both conceptually and methodologically, and it is unclear how meaningful they are for service users. With the increasing development and evaluation of social interventions for psychosis and the boom in the development of measures, this paper reviews the recently developed measures of social functioning. It aggregates how often and in which studies measures have been used, the concepts and theories that underlie them, as well as assessing their quality across a number of indicators, with a particular focus on how patient-centred they are.MethodsSystematic review and narrative synthesis.Results21 new measures of social functioning were identified, of low to moderate quality. The content, definitions, theories and domains will be discussed, as well as a discussion of changes in the construct over time. Discussion will include the development of measures for use in first episode psychosis, measures with a focus on negative symptoms and the increasing use of technology in the assessment of social functioning.DiscussionMany measures exist for assessing social functioning in psychosis, of variable quality. Further attention should be directed to psychometric evaluation and ensuring service user involvement in development.

Mobile phone apps for clinical decision support in pregnancy: a scoping review

BackgroundThe use of digital technology in healthcare has been found to be useful for data collection, provision of health information and communications. Despite increasing use of medical mobile phone applications (apps), by both clinicians and patients, there appears to be a paucity of peer-reviewed publications evaluating their use, particularly in pregnancy. This scoping review explored the use of mobile phone apps for clinical decision support in pregnancy. Specific objectives were to: 1. determine the current landscape of mobile phone app use for clinical decision support in pregnancy; 2. identify perceived benefits and potential hazards of use and 3. identify facilitators and barriers to implementation of these apps into clinical practice.MethodsPapers eligible for inclusion were primary research or reports on the development and evaluation of apps for use by clinicians for decision support in pregnancy, published in peer-reviewed journals. Research databases included Medline, Embase, PsychoInfo, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the online digital health journals JMIR mHealth and uHealth. Charting and thematic analysis was undertaken using NVivo qualitative data management software and the Framework approach.ResultsAfter screening for eligibility, 13 papers were identified, mainly reporting early stage development of the mobile app, and feasibility or acceptability studies designed to inform further development. Thematic analysis revealed four main themes across the included papers: 1. acceptability and satisfaction; 2. ease of use and portability; 3. multi-functionality and 4. the importance of user involvement in development and evaluation.ConclusionsThis review highlights the benefits of mobile apps for clinical decision support in pregnancy and potential barriers to implementation, but reveals a lack of rigorous reporting of evaluation of their use and data security. This situation may change, however, following the issue of FDA and MHRA guidelines and implementation of UK government and other international strategies. Overall, the findings suggest that ease of use, portability and multi-functionality make mobile apps for clinical decision support in pregnancy useful and acceptable tools for clinicians.

Drug service user groups: Only a partial solution to the problem of developing user involvement

Aims: To investigate and describe the role of drug service user groups in local service user involvement (UI).Method: Mixed-method study involving cross-sectional survey of commissioners, providers and users of drug treatment services and qualitative in-depth case studies in samples of drug action teams in England.Findings: User groups experience problems with sustainability. While the majority of sites reported current or past involvement with user groups, active groups were identified in only a third of sites. These groups varied widely in form and function. Generally groups provided solidarity for users and access to expert opinion for agencies. There was evidence of conflict between user and agency expectations that was exacerbated by power imbalance, role ambiguity and inadequate infrastructure. While the transience of groups was viewed pragmatically by some, others perceived such problems as confirmation that people who use drugs are unable to form effective groups.Conclusions: User groups are fundamental to UI, but are only a partial solution to the challenge of developing UI. Clarity of purpose and process and appropriate support are crucial. Further research should focus on factors that enable groups to function interdependently and contribute to UI without being seen as the exclusive mechanism for it.

Usability and interaction design – new challenges for the Scandinavian tradition

Computer use and interaction possibilities are changing quickly, while use contexts and application types are radically broadening. Technology no longer consists of static tools belonging only to the workplace but permeates work on the move, homes and everyday lives. Pervasive technologies, augmented reality, small interfaces, tangible interfaces, etc. are dramatically changing the nature of HCI (human–computer interaction). We witness the creation of ad hoc configurations of large and small user interfaces. The new interfaces are moveable and used in changing locations and contexts; different tasks are done through a combination of specialized technologies. A wider repertoire of physical instruments is available than the keyboard and the mouse. Based on examples from recent research projects and a collage of concepts and solutions, we discuss how these recent developments challenge our understanding of usability and interaction design. In particular, we discuss how the Scandinavian tradition of user involvement in development is facing up with the challenges of new work and of non-work contexts. There is a tendency that much recent investigations into non-work settings get stuck in a divide between work on the one hand, and leisure, arts, and home on the other; between rationality on the hand, and emotion on the other. The Scandinavian tradition can be developed to embrace people's whole lives and transcend the dichotomies between work, rationality, etc. and their negations and a Scandinavian perspective should and could move the current co-determination framework outside of work.

A planning tool for multidisciplinary youth care evaluated: A case study

Objectives This study aims to gain more insight in whether care programming in health care can be supported by IT and what is needed for successful implementation. We evaluated a case where an organization structured its care processes into care programs and used a planning tool for planning and control of the care programs. The results of this evaluation contribute to existing knowledge about the relation between care processes and IT as well as IT implementation. Method We used multiple data sources to support and complete the results. The evaluation of the case took place by means of face-to-face interviews, a document study and analyses of emails. Results and discussion The care programs and the planning tool were not compatible and did not achieve the intended goals. The professionals failed to appreciate flexibility of the care programs. The implementation of the planning tool failed because of too little user involvement in the implementation. Moreover, care programs were in general not accepted by the professionals. All this resulted in a non-fit between the care programs and the planning tool. We advise for routine processes as care programs to develop a balance between flexibility and standardization. This is a process of trial and error and requires adaptive information technology and user involvement in development and implementation.

Involving older people in research: methodological issues

The policy imperative to increase public participation in health and social care research, planning and service delivery raises significant questions about optimum approaches, methods and the extent to which this policy can influence change in practice. This paper highlights the key policy literature on user involvement and participatory research methods to establish the context for a partnership research project exploring perceptions of risk in relation to falls from the perspectives of older people, carers, and health and social care professionals. The paper reports the methods used in developing user involvement in the research at a number of levels, including project management, and a consumer panel working alongside the research team and influencing the dissemination in local falls prevention strategies. The authors draw out the issues related to the context and method of involvement, and discuss the impact on research quality and local service development in health and social care.

Developing user involvement in a UK cancer network: professionals’ and users’ perspectives

This paper explores the results of a consensus development exercise that explored diverse perspectives and sought to identify key principles for the development of user involvement in a cancer network. The exercise took place within one of 34 UK cancer networks and was a collaboration between the NHS, two universities and two voluntary sector organizations. The paper explores professionals’ and users’ perspectives on user involvement with reference to the current sociopolitical context of user participation. British policy documents have placed increasing emphasis on issues of patient and public participation in the evaluation and development of health services, and the issue of lay participation represents an important aspect of a critical public health agenda. The project presented here shows that developing user involvement may be a complex task, with lack of consensus on key issues representing a significant barrier. Further, the data suggest that professional responses can partly be understood in relation to specific occupational standpoints and strategies that potentially allow professionals to define and limit users’ involvement. The implications of these findings and the impact of the consensus development process itself are discussed.

Developing user involvement in research.

User involvement is central to the UK government's modernization agenda for the National Health Service (NHS). This paper represents work undertaken for the NHS National Cancer Research and Development Programme and NHS Executive Trent. It includes reflection on the experience of user involvement in health care research drawing on current UK health policy documents and an examination of the factors affecting recruitment to breast cancer clinical trials, and contributes to the debate on recruitment to clinical trials. Reference to UK policy documents is made throughout as well as real life experience of involving users in research. It summarizes key issues that nurses and midwives must consider to ensure effective user participation in research and practice.

Involving users in the development of mental health services: A study of psychiatrists' views

Background : Users involvement in mental health service development is increasing. Psychiatrists' attitudes are likely to affect the impact of this, but have not been systematically studied. Method : Qualitative study based on interviews with 14 general psychiatrists in North-west England. Results : Findings cover psychiatrists' expectations, hopes and concerns about user involvement. In general, psychiatrists talk about user involvement in terms of a scientific utilitarian frame of reference, and can be seen as clustering in three groups - optimists, rationalists and sceptics - according to the extent of their support. Expressed support seems likely to conceal a range of attitudes. Consideration is given to contextual and other influences on expressed views, and to potential stigmatization of service users. Conclusions : This study offers conceptual frameworks for further research and for work to develop user involvement. It suggests that overemphasis on a scientific paradigm may help to limit users' influence.

Involving users, improving services: the example of cancer

Facilitating user involvement is regarded as a significant factor in advancing the overall quality of health care provision. The wish to develop user involvement is present in White Papers, government reports and policy guidance. The reform of cancer services consequent on the implementation of the Calman Hine Report creates opportunities for meaningful user involvement in cancer care. Draws on research conducted in the Trent Region of the NHS and examines how far user groups have been involved, which groups may be excluded and what remains to be done to elevate user views in planning and evaluation of cancer services. Many commissioners and providers of health care are currently establishing the infrastructure to encourage the development of user involvement. Suggests the experience in relation to cancer can offer a model for others.

Developing user involvement in mental health services

This paper describes the user consultation component of a corporate approach to the mental health needs assessment of a local population. The context of the paper is established by presenting the views of users and user representatives on current mental health services. This is followed by the development of participants' views of an 'ideal' mental health service within the boundaries of technical feasibility. Three focus groups were held with current service users, and one group with user representatives. The users have extensive experience of a range of mental health services. The findings suggest that user representatives tend to represent their own needs rather than those of users. It would also seem that service users are not a homogeneous group, different groups having different priorities. Overall, users' views of current services generally reflect previous studies, but the 'ideal' approach seems to broaden the discussion and identify an agenda for change. This agenda is framed within categories of service delivery, service providers, labelling, advocacy, future research, leaving services, involvement, co-ordination, information, choice and accessibility. There is no clear role specifically identified for mental health nurses by users, but many opportunities are highlighted. Exploration of the utility of co-operative inquiry between mental health nurses and service users is recommended.

Legislating for user involvement in the United Kingdom: mental health services and the NHS and Community Care Act 1990.

Recent legislation in the U.K., particularly the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, has encouraged the direct participation of service users in the planning and management of care services. This paper explores evidence of how the interests of service users experiencing mental distress are represented within community care services in the U.K. and the extent to which this leads to a devolution of power to those service users. The evidence is drawn from a survey of principal officers in social services departments responsible for mental health services and interviews with 135 service users. This reveals considerable confusion about the meaning and purpose of user involvement and about how service users can best be represented; little evidence, despite users' interest in it, of power-sharing; and limited commitment of resources to make further participation possible. The conclusion considers how, in the light of this evidence, Central and Local Government might further develop user involvement.
