摘要

患有自闭症的成年人出现精神健康问题的风险较高,并且通常描述了与临床医生对自闭症缺乏了解有关的不良服务经历。因此,在国民保健服务中,越来越多的工作人员接受自闭症培训。然而,人们对老年人心理健康团队的培训需求缺乏了解。本服务评估项目采用审计和调查方法探讨老年人心理健康团队的自闭症培训需求。虽然审计发现该团队确实看到了疑似患有自闭症的患者,但大多数患者没有正式的诊断。大多数临床医生报告说从未接受过任何自闭症方面的培训,并强调老年人的自闭症以及自闭症和心理健康是具体培训的重点。根据这些答复制定、实施了培训方案,并利用调查进行了评价。培训被参与者评价为有用的,并导致自评知识的非统计显着增加。这项研究的结果表明,从事老年人心理健康工作的临床医生可能特别受益于针对老年人环境的专门培训。需要进一步研究以更好地了解老年与自闭症领域,并评估如何有效地提高该领域工作人员的能力。

Service evaluation project: Evaluating and addressing staff training needs in relation to autism in an older adult mental health service
Autistic adults are at higher risk of experiencing mental health problems and commonly describe poor service experiences relating to a lack of understanding of autism by clinicians. Therefore, there is an increasing impetus in the National Health Service (NHS) for staff to receive autism training. However, there is a lack of understanding around training needs for older adult mental health teams. This service evaluation project used audit and survey methodologies to explore the autism training needs of an older adult mental health team. Whilst the audit identified that the team did see patients suspected to be on the autism spectrum, most patients did not have an official diagnosis. Most clinicians reported never having received any training in autism, and highlighted autism in older adults, and autism and mental health, as specific training priorities. A training programme based on these responses was developed, implemented, and evaluated using surveys. The training was rated as useful by attendees and resulted in non-statistically significant increases in self-rated knowledge. The findings of this study suggest that clinicians working in older adult mental health may particularly benefit from training specialised to their older adult context. Further research is required to better understand the area of older adulthood and autism, and to evaluate how to effectively enhance the capability of staff working in this area.
