Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate autism awareness training provided to staff working in a high secure psychiatric care (HSPC) hospital. Design/methodology/approach An online survey of staff views who had completed an autism awareness training day. Findings All staff who completed the evaluation questionnaire reported that an autism awareness training day had been useful and had increased their knowledge of how to work with individuals who have autism. However, most staff also reported that one day was not long enough and that more case discussion would have been helpful. Although most staff also reported that autism awareness training should be mandatory, motivation to attend such training was considered important. In terms of the number of staff who had completed the training, whilst a wide range of staff groups had attended training, only a minority had done so, with the number of staff completing the training each year remaining relatively constant over a five-year period. Research limitations/implications Within the context of promoting Enabling Environments in forensic settings and the recent government consultation paper exploring whether autism awareness training should be mandatory for all those working in health care, further investigation is required into how to increase staff motivation to attend autism awareness training and to explore how it is used during everyday work with patients. Originality/value As an initial evaluation of optional autism awareness training delivered in HSPC, the project offers some valuable information in terms of the number of staff who attend such training, what they find useful and how it might be improved for this setting.

评估在高度安全的精神病护理医院为工作人员提供的自闭症意识培训
目的对某高安全性精神科医院工作人员进行自闭症意识培训进行评价。设计/方法/方法完成自闭症意识培训日的员工意见在线调查。所有完成评估问卷的员工都报告说,自闭症意识培训日是有用的,并且增加了他们如何与自闭症患者合作的知识。然而,大多数工作人员也报告说,一天的时间不够长,更多的案例讨论将有所帮助。虽然大多数工作人员也报告说,自闭症意识培训应该是强制性的,但参加这种培训的动机被认为是重要的。就完成培训的工作人员人数而言,虽然各种各样的工作人员团体参加了培训,但只有少数人这样做了,每年完成培训的工作人员人数在五年期间保持相对稳定。研究限制/影响在法医环境中促进有利环境的背景下,以及最近的政府咨询文件探讨是否应强制所有医疗保健工作人员进行自闭症意识培训,需要进一步调查如何提高工作人员参加自闭症意识培训的动机,并探讨如何在与患者的日常工作中使用它。原创性/价值作为对HSPC提供的可选自闭症意识培训的初步评估,该项目提供了一些有价值的信息,包括参加此类培训的员工数量、他们认为有用的内容以及如何针对这种环境进行改进。
