Assessment Item 2: Written Assessment
Students are required to write a structured essay on the following topic:
“The consumer voice is central to all current mental health contexts and areas of practice.”
Key words: Recovery framework, uniqueness of the individual, peer support, advocacy, attitudes and rights, consent, dignity and respect, partnership and communication.
As a guide, in order to answer this essay question, the completed essay should give the reader an understanding of the consumer experience and how nurses can help facilitate the consumer’s recovery. Evidence to support this should be critically analysed rather than described and should be based on primary sources of literature (at least six different peer reviewed journal articles). The essay should be written in professional, academic language. Dot points and first-person writing (including personal opinion) should not be used in a University essay.
All written assessments must align to academic standards.
