Abstract

Purpose

Families play an instrumental role in helping relatives experiencing mental health issues to stay well. In the context of wider initiatives promoting family and carer needs, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and potential benefits of bespoke training to develop clinicians’ skills in working with families in crisis.

Design/methodology/approach

The study was an uncontrolled evaluation of a one-day workshop for home treatment team staff using pre- and post-questionnaires.

Findings

In total, 83 staff members participated. Overall, there was a strong agreement for the involvement of families, which increased marginally after training. There were significant changes in views about talking to family members without service user consent (p = 0.001) and keeping them informed of their relative’s well-being (p = 0.02). Qualitative feedback indicated that participants enjoyed the interactive elements, particularly role-playing. Training provided an opportunity to practice skills, share knowledge and facilitate the integration of family work into their professional role.

Research limitations/implications

Confident support for families contributes to effective mediation of crisis and continuation of care; factors important in reducing admission rates and protecting interpersonal relationships. Overall, the consistency of responses obtained from participants suggests that this workshop offers a helpful introduction to a family approach at times of a mental health crisis.

Originality/value

This pilot evaluation suggests this new one-day workshop, is a feasible and acceptable training program, which is beneficial in developing clinicians’ skills in working with families in a crisis.

Abstract

Purpose

Use of digital Islamic banking services is not increasing in Indonesia, despite the country’s sizable Islamic population. This non-adoption might have resulted from consumer resistance brought on by attempts to divert them, or it might have been a direct consequence of the diverting effect. This study aims to examine the direct relationship between the diverting effects and the decision to not adopt digital Islamic banking, as well as the mediating role of consumer resistance.

Design/methodology/approach

The partial least squares-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique is used to analyse relationships among diverting effects, consumer resistance and non-adoption decisions. A total of 517 middle- and upper-class Indonesian consumers were involved as a sample, with several criteria such as being a conventional bank customer for at least 5 years and using digital services with a minimum of 5 transactions per month but not yet being an Islamic bank customer.

Findings

It is found that the direct relationship between the diverting effects and the non-adoption decisions is not statistically significant (β = 0.045, p = 0.15). However, it is found that the diverting effects trigger consumer resistance in a statistically significant manner (β = 0.192, p < 0.1). This consumer resistance is found to be influencing non-adoption decisions directly (β = 0.694, p < 0.1), as well as a mediating factor between diverting effects and the non-adoption decisions (β = 0.133, p < 0.1).

Originality/value

The paper deals with an emerging industry and offers actionable insights for its growth. In practice, this study suggests several possible strategies for the Islamic banking industry to grow under circumstances where digital banking is considered sine-qua-non of modern banking. Several related theories are also evaluated in this study.
