Table 5 Vignette presented to stakeholders
From: Exploring what works in mental health education for health profession students: a realist review
Vignette | Stakeholders present to validate |
|---|---|
Brian is a first year Medicine student. His parents have often expressed negative attitudes towards ‘addicts’. During a module about professional skills, Brian attends a patient contact session where a mental health advocate tells their story through addiction. This patient contact session gives Brian an opportunity to consider how drug addiction is a health issue and the experience of stigmatisation that people in addiction face. The presentation is focused on the role that future doctors can play in recovery focused practice and the importance of shared decision making. Brian felt comfortable asking the patient educator questions during the session, and felt that there was a positive learning environment. Brian leaves the session with a new, more positive perspective, feeling more willing and comfortable to support people who are having addiction issues. | Subject, practitioner |
