Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevalent in people with psychosis. Trauma-focused interventions are increasingly supported for this group by research trials and clinical guidelines. However, in clinical practice, trauma continues to be under-recognised and under-treated. This thesis explores pertinent barriers and facilitators to delivering trauma-focused interventions for people with psychosis. It is presented in three parts. Part 1: A Systematic Review This review examines available qualitative data regarding staff perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to delivering psychological interventions in clinical practice. Findings from twelve studies are presented in a narrative synthesis. Results identify a number of common factors which inhibit the delivery of psychological interventions for mental health disorders. Clinical and research implications of findings are discussed. Part 2: An Empirical Paper This paper explores the barriers and facilitators to trauma-focused interventions for people with psychosis through a Grounded Theory approach. Interviews were completed with 18 individuals working in the commissioning and delivery of clinical services for people with psychosis. Analysis generated a three-factor conceptualization of the barriers and facilitators to treatment with this clinical population. Recommendations are made for strategies to increase access to trauma-focused interventions for this group. Part 3: A Critical Appraisal This chapter offers a critical reflection on the process of research and follows the journey of clinical research from study design, recruitment, and interview through to analysis and writing. It considers the context within which research takes place including philosophical and theoretical underpinnings as well as tempo-socio-cultural context.
