Mental health service users' and professionals' relationship with games and gaming

2017

Background Games and elements of gamification can be utilized in mental healthcare to provide customized interventions for the service users.

Lasten poikkeavuuden määrittely 1950-luvun Suomessa

2014

Tässä Suomen historian pro-gradu työssä tarkastellaan lapsuuden aikaisten ongelmien määritte-lyä 1950-luvun Suomessa. Alkuperäislähteinä on käytetty psykologian oppikirjoja sekä Keski-Suomen kasvatusneuvolan toimintakertomuksia vuosilta 1953–1962. Tutkimuksessa on lähes-tytty kasvatusneuvolaa ja psykologiaa tieteenä normaalin tuottajina. Kvalitatiivisessa sisällön-analyysia käyttävässä tutkimuksessa näkökulmana on ollut Michel Foucault’n teoria biovallasta. Tutkimuksen rakenne etenee tutkimuskysymysten esittelystä sekä tutkimuskirjallisuuden ja tut-kimuksen suuntaviivojen esittelystä aiheen taustoitukseen. Lasten huollon ja hoivan historian taustoittamisen jälkeen vuorossa on aineiston vars…

Utilizing games in the co-production of mental health services

2020

This study analyses the application of a co-production approach in utilizing digital games and game-related methods in mental health services. The goal is to offer a real-world experiment on co-production, focusing on mental health service users, active gamers and mental health practitioners who worked together in equal ways and valued each other’s unique contributions during the experiment. The implications of a co-production approach for applying digital games in the field of mental healthcare are somewhat limited and under-explored. In this case study, seven workshop sessions were held involving service users, gamers and professionals. Participants were interviewed concerning their exper…

Reducing health inequalities trough digital options in mental health: A physician's perspective.

2019

This paper explores the physicians’ perspective regarding the potential of computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (cCBTs) to overcome inequalities in the context of mental health care provision. The main benefits were related to the ability of cCBTs to provide care in a convenient and efficient manner, enhancing its accessibility. These aspects were perceived more important than cost-effectivity of treatment, which is often claimed to be the key benefit of cCBTs. Age and general acceptance of CBT were the most significant individual-level separators of perceptions, while the sector in which the physician works was seen as the main structural-level separator. peerReviewed
