Cognitive Problems

Concerns of parents of children with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems with respect to the behavior and attitudes they encounter from professionals coincide with concerns professionals have about their own behavior as set forth in professional codes of ethics. Thirty-four experts on professional ethics evaluated items on a behavioral questionnaire. Parents then used the questionnaire to rate professionals who had worked with the mental health problems of their children. Problem areas identified included informed consent, parent self-determination, and respect and compassion for parents.

Professional Codes Of Ethics

Until recently (before managed care), business issues in healthcare organizations (HCOs) were relatively insulated from clinical issues, for several reasons. The hospital at earlier stages of its development operated on a combination of charitable and equitable premises, allowing for providing care to be separated from financial support. Physicians, who were primarily responsible for clinical care, constituted an independent power nexus within the hospital and were governed by their own professional codes of ethics. In exchange for a great deal of control over their conditions of practice, they took almost complete responsibility for patient care. Thus clinical and professional ethics could to some extent be compartmentalized from the business issues—a much easier feat when, as in much of the last few decades, virtually all care was reimbursed from some source or other. In addition, many HCOs were not categorized or treated as businesses, although of course they were presumed to be governed by the same expectation for good management as any other organization.

Motivational self-determination and its role in relation to various health-related variables in Western countries have been the focus of many researchers. However, little is known about dispositional self-determination and the influence of mental health problems among the Chinese. We examined dispositional self-determination among Chinese first-year college students and tested whether or not mental health problems could predict self-determination through needs satisfaction. Data were collected from 496 students at 2 time periods. Results showed that there was no difference in dispositional self-determination among the various demographic groups. However, participants whose university experience met their expectations reported a higher degree of self-determination than did those who had found it did not meet their expectations. Structural equation modeling results revealed that mental health problems at Time 1 could negatively predict self-determination at Time 2. This relationship was partially mediated by needs satisfaction measured at Time 2. Practical implications and limitations are discussed.

Professional Codes Of Ethics

Knowing yourself and your responsibilities requires that you understand your ethical assumptions and frameworks. This chapter identifies four major ethical theories that inform professional codes of ethics: deontology, consequentialism, ethics of care, and virtue ethics. It also provides a typology for the mental health professional’s use of self that includes (a) negative underinvolvement, (b) positive underinvolvement, (c) positive overinvolvement, and (d) negative overinvolvement. It ties each of these positions to the use of a hierarchy of professional influence, ranging from persuasion, leverage, inducement, and threat to compulsion. It also addresses the professional responsibilities of school-based mental health providers in regards to federal legislation, self-care, and their respective codes of ethics. It ends with a set of ethical guidelines and exercises for reflection.

Specific Scale

BackgroundHealth of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) have been developed to measure outcomes in people with mental health problems.AimsThe particular physical and cognitive problems affecting older people requires a specific scale for their measurement. We describe the development of such a scale, named HoNOS 65+.MethodPilot, validity and reliability studies were carried out on an amended scale. Validity was assessed by comparison with existing scales reflecting depression, cognitive function, psychiatric symptomatology, activities of daily living and functional abilities. Reliability was measured in two centres.ResultsHoNOS 65+ was successfully amended to include specific aspects of mental health problems in older people including the phenomenology of depression, delusions occurring in the presence of dementia, incontinence and agitation/restlessness. HoNOS 65+ was able to discriminate between people suffering from organic and functional illnesses. Correlations with other scales indicated reasonable validity. Reliability was satisfactory.ConclusionsAversion of HoNOS 65+ is presented (see pp. 435–438, this issue) which is appropriate for use in elderly people with mental health problems.

The concept of professional ethics is partly comprised of what a professional should or should not do in the work place. It also encompasses a much greater part of the professionals life. If a professional is to have ethics then that person needs to adopt that conduct in all of his dealings. There are professional codes of ethics to consider and adopt in the way professionals conduct themselves in and out of the work place. This article explaines things that are included in professional ethichs, consist of concepts like: efficiency, professionalism, working well, little waste, diligence, punctuality, frugality, humbleness, spirit of prestige, need for achievement, open-minded, self-discipline and responsibility, self-reliance and the interpretation of religious thoughts. These ethics will be the basis of national development and needs to be reidentified in this 21st century.
