ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a highly effective form of treatment used for major psychiatric disorders. However, significant stigma surrounds ECT and mental health consumers and they often report lack of knowledge prior to receiving ECT. They complain of inadequacies in information being provided by health professionals and difficulty finding reliable, balanced information that incorporates the experience of consumers who have received ECT. To address these limitations, a collaborative team of ECT consumers and health professionals created a new ECT video to provide consumers and their relatives with up-to-date, easy to understand information about ECT. The educational video includes evidence-based information from health professionals and genuine consumer perspectives.CONCLUSION:
A gap in clinical care and service provision was identified and a collaborative project was undertaken to address these limitations. In the process of creating an ECT video, many lessons were learned and a range of recommendations were implemented, including a memory rehabilitation program and new and improved access to ECT information resources.Palavras-chave
