Research summary
The main aim of this study is to investigate service users’ experiences of navigating boundaries in the relationship with their care-coordinators in Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services.
The aim is to recruit 10-12 participants from the Early Interventions in Psychosis Services in Bexley, Greenwich, and Bromley (OXLEAS NHS Foundation Trust). The semi-structured interviews will be used to gather data from participants. The research will provide valuable information in relation to clients’ care, including the cultural aspect of the care and the possible need for its adaptation to the client’s cultural needs.
The potential participants will need to meet inclusion criteria, which comprise:
• Engagement with the EIP service for more than 6 months to ensure that a relationship with the care-coordinator has been developed and the client is able to comment on that relationship.
• Symptoms of the psychosis need to be assessed by a clinician/care-coordinator and deemed as managed well enough to be able to engage in the interview.
• Risks are to be discussed prior to recruitment with the service user’s care coordinator or a team member who knows them well.
• Currently in the community due to the possible distress of the symptoms while in the hospital and possible difficulties in engagement with the interview while in the hospital.REC name
