Abstract
Background Integrating exercise professionals into mental health settings is a key strategy in addressing the physical health inequalities of people living with mental illness. Workforce culture surrounding physical health may impact the utilisation of exercise professionals across inpatient settings. Aims To evaluate clinician perspectives regarding the implementation of an exercise professional at the mental health service in a large, urban hospital in Sydney, Australia. Methods A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of mental health staff was conducted. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Fourteen mental health clinicians (approximately 35% of all eligible staff) participated in interviews. Three themes emerged regarding the role of the exercise professional; i) drivers and facilitators; ii) support from leadership; and iii) directions for future practice. Conclusions An exercise professional within a mental health service was identified as an effective strategy in improving consumer health outcomes while increasing the knowledge and confidence of mental health clinicians regarding the provision of physical health care. Exercise professionals should be recognised as important members of the standard multidisciplinary mental health team for in patients being treated for mental illness.
