Submit an article Subscribe Get Free Publication Alerts Call for Article Submissions Topic: Patient Experience of Inpatient Psychiatry and Crisis Services is pleased to call for article submissions related to the patient experience of inpatient psychiatry and crisis services. Submissions can be empirical analyses using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods; Policy Reviews; Open Forums; or Viewpoints. For empirical submissions, we are especially interested in submissions that center the understanding of patient experience directly from current or former patients, but we will consider submissions focused on proximal constructs or use of adjacent methods. Scholars with lived experience of inpatient psychiatry, crisis services, or both are strongly encouraged to submit relevant work to this call. Articles may be submitted as a Regular Article (3,000 words), a Policy Review (4,000–6,000 words), an Open Forum (1,600 words), or a Viewpoint (1,200 words). Authors should follow the format requirements for the article type being submitted as outlined in the journal’s author guidelines . When submitting a manuscript for consideration, authors should mention the solicitation and topic in a cover letter as part of the submission. All submissions will undergo the journal’s standard peer review process. Authors are invited to send general questions about this call to [email protected] . Guidelines for Reporting Qualitative Methods September 27, 2023 Qualitative and mixed-methods approaches are increasingly part of the methodological tool kit of mental health services researchers. These approaches are of crucial importance for representing the subjective experiences of people who use mental health services. In addition, they may be used in an exploratory way to generate hypotheses about relatively unknown phenomena. They are also essential for assessing the causes and mechanisms driving treatment success and failure. aims to publish qualitative research that demonstrates the highest standards of research design, analysis, and ethics. We encourage authors to use interpretive rigor in qualitative analysis to contribute original findings that expand our knowledge of how to care for diverse patient populations. Submissions utilizing the full potential of qualitative approaches will build on, revise, or challenge existing theories of treatment and service delivery as described by current scholarship. suggests the following guidelines for authors submitting work using qualitative methods: Justify the use of qualitative methods for the topic under investigation. Provide a clear and succinct rationale for the methods utilized. Describe the methodology, including (as appropriate) sampling methods, recruitment, data collection procedures, data analysis and analytic strategies. Justify the sampling methods, especially for small, nonprobability samples. Provide information about the context of the research, including the settings in which data were collected. Exhibit sufficient original evidence in the body of the report so that readers may grasp the basis for the argument. Evidence may include quotations, summaries of verbal exchanges, observations, and other forms of data. Consider whether to include in an online supplement additional evidence (detailed quotations, verbal exchanges, observations, field notes, etc.) supporting the project’s findings. Explain in the Discussion and Conclusions sections how the evidence presented contributes to the argument. Explore in the Discussion section whether the context(s) of the research project may have influenced the results. Ensure that discussion and conclusions reached are logical and credible given the findings and context. Describe the extent to which the findings and conclusions may apply to other groups or settings and note any unusual features that limit applicability. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Welcoming the Voices of Lived Experience As our journal has been working diligently to develop strategies to address racism in our content and processes, I have been listening to and learning from partners and collaborators with lived experience of mental illness. Progressive voices in our field have been encouraging meaningful lived experience involvement for a very long time (e.g., as noted in the 2003 report of the President’s New Freedom Commission), but these voices have not achieved meaningful change. This is unacceptable....
