Jo Brand, the comedienne, tells a story of her first year doing her RMN when she was told by "Sister" to give a patient the BDI: "So I went over to him and stared at him". Sorry about that.

Sue -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sandy Townsend Sent: 21 January 2007 18:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Mental Health Assessment Hi there Last week I commenced a course at the local University ?Mental Health Assessment of Clients. I am doing this as a stand alone course for personal development but my fellow students are mostly mental health qualified nurses clocking up modules for Masters Degrees. I must confess it is some time since I have taken part in academic study at such level although I have actively maintained currency in OH through study days and short courses. Whilst I don't expect the list to do my assignment I am tasked with the job for next week, of reviewing Models generally and Tools used for assessment (re mental health) used in our field of work. Also I am to furnish the "evidence" as to the appropriateness of the Tools. I am at a loss. I had hoped to deliver some information on Hansaari but no longer have my course work from the early 90s. The internet hasn't been helpful either. Does the Hansaari Model of care predate the internet? Does anyone have a source I might explore? My recall of the Model is minimal these days. With regard to Assessment Tools- I have followed the system of questioning the employee re concentration, motivation, sleep pattern, appetite, CHO/ drug/ smoking use, self harm intentions and asked them to rate their mood but I am at a loss to be able to give information that this method of assessment is based on evidence and be able to quote a source. Can anyone on the list help me out? Sandy -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
