Clinician knowledge and attitudes of mental health advance statements in Victoria, Australia

Russell James et al.

Summary: Embedded into Victoria's mental health legislation, advance statements are designed to convey individuals' treatment preferences during impaired communication or decision-making. This study surveyed Victorian mental health clinicians to examine their knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with advance statements. Results showed that despite widespread support and positive attitudes, knowledge levels and perceived barriers significantly affect the adoption of advance statements. The quality and extent of training also influenced clinicians' confidence and practical experience. Recommendations include integrating advance statements into routine practice, providing regular training, and promoting a culture of autonomy and inclusive decision-making.
