Abstract

Objective

Connectedness is placed at the heart of the recovery process in mental health care. However, in regard to persons labeled not criminally responsible (NCR), considerations of recovery and connectedness remain in the background. The aim of this study is to understand and explore how individuals labeled not criminally responsible experience connectedness.

Research method

Sixty-seven in-depth interviews were examined and thematically analyzed.

Results

Interviews revealed emotional, functional and personal connectedness as categories of connectedness, each with different qualitative determinants.

Conclusion

This study shows that connectedness should be considered as an essential ingredient of the recovery process by practitioners as well as policy makers. We recommend a shift from an individualistic, punitive approach toward a recovery-supportive rhetoric and more ‘shared decision making’ between service users and providers at all levels.

无刑事责任者追回叙述的关联性：一项定性研究

摘要

客观的

连通性是精神卫生保健康复过程的核心。然而，对于被标记为不负刑事责任 (NCR) 的人，恢复和关联性的考虑仍然存在。本研究的目的是了解和探索被标记为不负刑事责任的个人如何体验连通性。

研究方法

对 67 次深入访谈进行了审查和专题分析。

结果

访谈揭示了情感、功能和个人连通性作为连通性类别，每个类别都有不同的定性决定因素。

结论

这项研究表明，从业者和政策制定者都应将连通性视为恢复过程的重要组成部分。我们建议从个人主义、惩罚性的方法转向支持康复的言辞，以及各级服务用户和提供者之间更加“共同决策”。
