Abstract

Risk assessment and safety planning are central to mental health nursing practice but were seriously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns. In this study, we aimed to explore how the UK pandemic lockdowns affected risk assessment and safety planning from the perspective of mental health practitioners. A sequential, mixed methods study design was used. A link to an online survey questionnaire was distributed and semi-structured interviews with a subset of respondents were conducted. Survey data were analysed to describe perceived changes in the frequency and nature of risk assessment and safety planning during the pandemic lockdowns. This was supplemented by thematic analysis of qualitative interview data. In total, 106 practitioners were surveyed and 10 participated in semi-structured interviews. More respondents increased than decreased risk assessment frequency but there was no significant overall change. Remote contact was more common in community settings and largely involved telephone appointments. Participants did not wish to continue with remote working following the pandemic. Risk assessment practice changed in UK mental health services as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns.

英国 Covid-19 大流行封锁期间的心理健康风险评估和安全规划:混合方法调查与访谈研究。
风险评估和安全规划是心理健康护理实践的核心,但却受到了 Covid-19 大流行和相关封锁的严重影响。在本研究中,我们旨在从心理健康从业人员的角度探讨英国大流行病封锁是如何影响风险评估和安全规划的。我们采用了一种连续的混合方法研究设计。我们分发了在线调查问卷链接,并对部分受访者进行了半结构化访谈。对调查数据进行了分析,以描述在大流行病封锁期间,风险评估和安全规划的频率和性质发生了哪些变化。此外,还对定性访谈数据进行了专题分析。共有 106 名从业人员接受了调查,10 人参加了半结构化访谈。增加风险评估频率的受访者多于减少风险评估频率的受访者,但总体变化不大。远程联系在社区环境中更为常见,主要涉及电话预约。受访者不希望在大流行后继续进行远程工作。由于 COVID-19 的封锁,英国心理健康服务机构的风险评估实践发生了变化。

期刊介绍: Issues in Mental Health Nursing is a refereed journal designed to expand psychiatric and mental health nursing knowledge. It deals with new, innovative approaches to client care, in-depth analysis of current issues, and empirical research. Because clinical research is the primary vehicle for the development of nursing science, the journal presents data-based articles on nursing care provision to clients of all ages in a variety of community and institutional settings. Additionally, the journal publishes theoretical papers and manuscripts addressing mental health promotion, public policy concerns, and educational preparation of mental health nurses. International contributions are welcomed.
