Mental health care in Utah

 

Research questions

Is there any unfair treatment of the person with a mental health condition by the caregivers in the Utah mental hospital in the service provider where the case of staffing is in question?

Is the hospital's service provider affected by the staff available in the hospital regarding the number of staff working in the health care causing the service delivery to be poor?

Implications of the research.

            The betterment of mental healthcare conditions in Utah is the key to developing health care to adapt more enhances patient-cantered services to the clients. This can be attained by examining the in-house mental health therapy to ensure that most of the patient's therapeutic needs are met enhancing patients’ outcome (Darnall, et al., 2020). The improvement of the condition of the people with a mental problem is associated with the incorporation of in-house therapy where the management is done to ensure that the needs and the interest of the patient are met through the psychiatry and the pharmacy clinics in the provision of therapies that is accompanied with medication to make the case success. Therapy can be attained through physical therapy where the aspect of massager is introduced or through the psycho education to the nurses and the care givers to enable them to deal with the patient's treatment and handling.

 The provision of health care services to the person with a mental health condition is involved and tiresome, demanding an increase in staff. The treatment, observation, and therapy both in physical and psychotherapy require trained personnel to handle the patients more easily, making their treatment effective. The hospitals in Utah are underequipped with the medical personnel, causing burnout effects to the medical staff (Sturzu, et al., 2019). They are serving a lot of patients, making them underperform. The different post in the mental hospital calls for different staff members to deal with the different responsibility in ensuring the services are rendered in a patient-centerer manner, thus enhancing their recovery. Social workers, public health workers, and therapies are needed in the institution to ensure that the patient's needs are met to ensure that the services are effectively delivered.

Due to the increase in the number of patients in the hospital, the provision of the services at home level will require to be implemented to avail the bed for those in critical conditions. The provision of care from home requires that the community members be provided with the required training and knowledge to handle them. Despite the program's implementation, the hospital will be for the patient that needs special attention and the aggressive ones who require special handling. In doing so, the hospital congestion will reduce the staff's workload, thus improving the services they offer to the remaining patients. The community service to the patients will require close supervision from the health care to ensure that the patient's conditions are in place to avoid patient health complications.

Data collection.

The hospital's information was collected from the parents and guidance of the patients about the treatment of their loved ones by the hospital. The interview was conducted with the participants were the questions aimed to get a detailed report on the services delivered and the patient's treatment by the staff. In doing so, the research will interview forty guardians who attend the visitation of the patients on Thursday and some patients recovering from the mental condition. The interviewees will be selected randomly according to their willingness to talk and give the details. The information on the hospital staffing will be done through questionaries where the medical staff and another management official will fill them to ascertain the hospital's condition to the patient and themselves. The questionaries will include the hospital's staffing and the problem the staff is facing in the delivery of the services.  

Proposed methodology

The methodology to use in the research will include both qualitative methods. The method will employ both the use of questionaries and interviews on the patient, guardians, and the health care staff. In this case, the analysis will involve the data collected from the questionnaire. It’s based on people's experience in terms of the medical staff and patients and observation for the guardians. The interview and questionnaire data provide in-depth information about the health care in the Utah metal health care (Cassell, C., & Bishop, V. (2019). The data will be analysed to interpret them and understand the hospital concept that is not working. The concept under research includes the hospital staffing, the patient's treatment by the health care workers and the working environments for the works, and that of the patient.

Data analysis.

The analysis will involve the content analysis from the interview, where the data will be grouped according to the group interviewed and their response. The narrative analysis includes the analysis done on the data sources in terms of the content they have, where a discourse analysis is done to identify the respondent and their environment to use the data during the analysis. Lastly, grounded theory explains why the scenarios in Utah are happening in terms of the services rendered to the patient and the availability of the resources for the health care workers and staff available. The analysis will help to determine where the hypothesis is valid or not.
