Introduction to Research in Healthcare
Context and Perspective of the Research
Perspective
People diagnosed with different health conditions also face other challenges that
exacerbate their recovery and response to treatment interventions. When a patient is diagnosed
with a particular condition, they are susceptible to psychosocial externalities that could
negatively impact their wellbeing (Vancampfort et al., 2019). The justification for the need for
palliative care is founded on this evidence to ensure that patients receive multidimensional
assistance that not only addresses the disease but also mitigate the secondary challenges that are
considered as the aftermath of diagnosis and coping with the disease (Kmakar et al., 2016). For
example, people diagnosed with metabolic syndrome are at a high risk of mental distress;
subsequently, this coexistence could lead to negative experiences and specific challenges.
Need for the Research
The prevalence of mental illness among patients diagnosed with other healthcare
complications is alarming. It is estimated that about one in four people is affected by mental
illness at one point in life. In this case, there is a need for a clear understanding of the challenges
and experiences of those who are affected to establish a baseline for targeted intervention
measures. A critical analysis of the encounter of mental illness patients indicates that there is a
negative effect on treatment and recovery whenever a patient diagnosed with a primary problem
exhibit depressive symptoms or psychological distress (Vancampfort et al., 2019; Kmakar et al.,
2016). Metabolic syndrome includes a cluster of complications that paves the way for additional
risks such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. At the same time, people diagnosed with
metabolic syndrome also face a range of psychological distress (Postolache et al., 2019; Das-

Munshi et al., 2017). In this case, by understanding the nature of their experiences and special
challenges, it will be possible to design intervention measures that target the origin and triggers
of the exhibited mental distress as a synergistic approach to palliative care for this population
(Scott et al., 2016). Therefore, this proposed study is needed because people diagnosed with
metabolic syndrome are at a high risk of complex diseases and the coexistence of this condition
and mental illness exacerbate the experiences of such individuals.
Population of Interest
The population of interest is mental illness patients. Mental illness is a set of adverse
conditions that impact emotions, behavior, and thinking process. mental illness could occur as
combinations of emotional, behavior, and thought processes. If not addressed in time, mental
illness could lead to a severe social, psychological, and physical exacerbation (Das-Munshi et al.,
2017). Mental health complications are caused by different variable and characterized by
significant risk factors. In this case, intervention programs must be based on specific causes,
experiences, and outcomes. Mental health patients suffer who suffer distress because of a
primary health condition are at risk of poor recovery and self-management outcomes (Das-
Munshi et al., 2017). Proposed strategies to address cases of mental illness among metabolic
syndrome patients have revolved around the mitigation of triggers and risk factors.
Cultural, Sociocultural, and Clinical Influences
Mental health is associated with cultural, social, and clinical influences. While the
objective of clinical assessment is to restore the normal psychological, social, and physical
wellbeing, it is essential to note that patients coexist in a setting that is diverse in terms of culture
and practices (Das-Munshi et al., 2017). For one to understand the triggers of mental distress that
impact the wellbeing of metabolic syndrome patients, it is necessary to consider how the primary
