Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate inpatient and staff member attitudes toward and experiences with ward cats, and identify possible mechanisms for how cats affect patient satisfaction in a psychiatric clinic. Thirty-three inpatients diagnosed with depression or psychosis residing on wards with and without cats and 17 staff members working on wards with cats participated in semi-structured interviews using a cross-sectional study design. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and correlations. The results showed that 17 out of 19 inpatients and all the staff members liked having a cat on their ward. Further, 12 out of 14 inpatients on wards without cats would like having a cat on their ward. Inpatient perceptions of the cat’s impact on the ward atmosphere correlated significantly with their emotional relationship with the cat (p = 0.015, r = 0.561), how often they saw the cat (p = 0.002, r = 0.676), and if they liked cats in general (p = 0.041, r = 0.486). Our results highlight the positive attitudes of inpatients and staff members toward ward cats and the potential of ward cats to enhance patient satisfaction. This influence might be mediated by factors such as the frequency of contact, the relationship between each patient and the cat, and each patient’s attitude toward cats in general.

Abstract:
AimsTo audit VTE risk assessment compliance across psychiatric inpatient wards at three different sites within Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SABP), and to highlight the importance of completing VTE risk assessments for psychiatric inpatient safety and care as set out by NICE guidelines (2019).MethodNumbers of VTE risk assessments completed (within 24 hours, and those completed any time during inpatient stay) and VTE risk assessments not completed were collected via SABP electronic mental health records. Percentage compliance for each ward and hospital involved in the study were calculated. Chi square statistical t tests were conducted using Excel to check for associations between type of ward (older adult and working age) and VTE risk assessment completion.A total of 3004 patients were included in the study. Ages ranged from 18–82 years of age, and both males and females included in the study. A total of 2060 were working age (WA) patients (aged 18–64 years) and 944 were older adults (OA) (aged > 65 years).ResultAcross all three sites, more than 90% of all inpatients admitted between May 2018 and October 2020 did not have a formal VTE risk assessment completed. Across all sites, less than 1% of all inpatients had a completed VTE risk assessment done within 24 hours, as recommended by the NICE guidelines. Older Adult wards showed better compliance with VTE risk assessment completion with 38% of patients on one OA ward having had a completed VTE risk assessment, and 28% on another completed OA ward. Being admitted to an OA ward was strongly associated with VTE risk assessment completion (p < 0.05).ConclusionOA wards have hosted QI programmes with regards to VTE risk assessment which may be why VTE risk assessment was more likely to have been completed on OA wards. VTE risk assessment compliance overall is inadequate across all sites included in the study. Recommendations include further education for all ward staff on how, why and when VTE risk assessment should be completed, greater accessibility of an improved VTE risk assessment form and for QI initiatives on OA wards to be rolled out on WA wards. These findings have been presented and discussed at regional Trust teaching days, and this audit will be repeated in one year.

"An audit to assess the measurement of Body Mass Index (BMI) and referral to the dietetics service following admission to the general adult inpatient wards in Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust." BJPsych Open 7, S1 (June 2021): S83. http://dx.doi.org/10.1192/bjo.2021.258.

Abstract:
AimsThis audit aims to establish whether patients have their BMI measured and recorded following admission to the general adult inpatient wards in Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and whether, in those with a BMI >30 kg/m2, or >28 kg/m2 in those with weight-related comorbidities, they are referred to the dietetics service for input.BackgroundObesity has an increased prevalence in those with mental disorder. There are many factors that influence this, e.g. sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary intake. Medication prescribed to treat mental disorders may increase risk of weight gain. Patients with severe mental illness are at increased likelihood of developing weight-related comorbidities, particularly type II diabetes mellitus.Many patients with severe and enduring mental illness do not regularly access primary care services. Admission to the psychiatric ward therefore provides an opportunity to address, not only the patient's mental health issues, but also any physical health issues.MethodA list of all inpatients on the eight general adult wards was obtained on 3rd of December 2020. Inpatients on the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit were also incorporated, providing a final sample of 148 inpatients.An audit tool was designed, to collect demographic data for each inpatient – gender, age, ethnicity, psychiatric diagnosis, as well as BMI on admission and, if applicable, whether a referral to the dietetics service was made.ResultOf the 148 inpatients, 91 were male, 57 female. Patient age ranged from 19 to 71 years. The majority were of “white British” ethnicity. The most common mental disorder diagnosis was schizophrenia (35 patients). For 14 of the 148 inpatients, no BMI was measured on admission. In the 134 inpatients that had BMI measured, 74 were in one of the “overweight”, “obese”, “very obese” and “morbidly obese” categories. Thirty-four patients met the criteria for requiring referral to the dietetics service. Of these, four were not referred, five were offered referral but declined, 17 referrals were made for other reasons, e.g. BMI <18 kg/m2, and one patient was referred despite no BMI being recorded.ConclusionCurrent practice across the general adult inpatient wards in the trust indicates a proportion of patients do not have BMI recorded following admission. This may result in a valuable opportunity to address obesity being lost. There is a need to emphasise to ward staff the importance of recording BMI as part of the admission physical health screen and of the criteria for referring an inpatient to the dietetics service.

Abstract:
AimsVitamin D deficiency is common among people with Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) and is linked to worse health outcomes.Our aims were to re-evaluate vitamin D testing and supplementation among inpatients with IDD, examine any correlates with physical health conditions including COVID-19 and make recommendations for the current regime of supplementation and testing within inpatient IDD services.MethodThe study population comprised inpatients who were in any of the Northgate Hospital IDD inpatient services in Northumberland, UK. The wards sampled were the Medium Secure Unit, Low Secure Unit, Hospital Based Rehabilitation Wards and Specialist Autism Inpatient Service. Records of all inpatients between January 2019 and July 2020 were examined for 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level, ward area, supplementation status, test seasonality, medication, and health status.We performed a correlation to see whether there was an association between vitamin D level and length of time on treatment. In addition, comparison of the replete and inadequate group for age, ethnicity, seasonality, ward location and psychotropic medication was undertaken.Data on physical health risk factors, obesity and COVID-19 infection were also collected. The physical comorbidities were described in order to evaluate whether any emerging patterns relating to COVID-19 infection were emerging.ResultThere were 67 inpatients in Northgate IDD services on 1 January 2019, with 11 further patients admitted up to the end of the sampling period on 31 July 2020. Nineteen patients were discharged during that period, so the sample comprised 78 patients.Ages were comparable across three of the ward areas, except for an older group of patients in the hospital-based rehabilitation setting. Mean 25(OH)D level for supplemented (800IU/day) patients was 75nmol/l (SD 20) compared to 40nmol/l (SD 19) in the non-supplemented group (p < 0.001).Thirty-eight percent of those who were inpatients during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic developed symptoms, but the small sample size could not establish vitamin D levels as a predictor of outcome.ConclusionOur findings show that clinicians continue to offer vitamin D supplementation for inpatients, at a dose of 800IU (20μg) per day.The mean vitamin D levels we observed were higher for those on supplements compared to our 2013 baseline data, whereas patients not on supplementation now had levels akin to those found previously. Vitamin D (800IU/day) supplementation is effective but adequacy of the nationally recommended dose of 400IU/day is unclear. Links to COVID-19 merit further research.

Abstract:
Introduction: Infectious medical waste management in hospitals is very important. The potential impacts of infectious medical waste discharged from hospitals on populations and society are considered greater than those of general industrial waste. Therefore, the estimation of infectious medical waste discharged from healthcare facilities should be accurate. The present study reports the quantity of infectious medical waste discharged per ward per day per inpatient by weight. Methods: In medical wards, the digestive surgery ward discharged the most infectious medical waste. In addition, the digestive surgery ward had the highest quantity of infectious medical waste per day per inpatient. Infectious medical waste quantity estimates based on beds were lower than those based on inpatients, with minimum and maximum underestimates of 6% and 21%, respectively. Results & Discussion: Infectious medical waste discharged per patient per day was low in the outpatient department. The operating room and the emergency department discharged 10-fold more infectious medical waste than the wards. The operating room, the emergency department, and the clinical inspection department accounted for 60% of infectious medical waste discharged from hospitals. Conclusion: Notably, there are considerable differences among departments when evaluating hospital waste, particularly in hospitals with surgery and critical care departments, which is different in the case of evaluations based on bed counts.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Our Model 4 Hospital will open a Specialist Geriatric Ward in the coming months. This ward will focus on the provision of evidence-based care to confused and frail older adults. Careful selection of patients who would most benefit from this care will be vital to ensure success. We aim to determine the prevalence of frailty and confusion in our inpatient cohort to determine expected demand on this new service and to inform admission criteria. Methods All adult inpatients were screened for frailty (pre-admission status) using the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Point prevalence of confusion (combination of pre-existing dementia and incident delirium) was calculated by measuring 4AT scores on all adult inpatients (>16 years of age), with the exclusion of obstetric, paediatric, critical care and psychiatric wards. Eleven wards were visited by a team of six experienced geriatric practitioners during a one-week period in April 2019. Results In total, 257 patients were assessed. The median age was 74 years (16-99). The majority were male (54.9 %). 152 patients resided on a dedicated medical ward (59.1%). The point prevalence of pre-morbid frailty (CFS Score ≥ 5) was 39.9%. The point prevalence of confusion (4AT score ≥4) was 24.4%. Conclusion Our data show that frailty and delirium are highly prevalent in hospital inpatients. It is not feasible for this number of frail and confused patients to be cohorted in a single specialist area. It is therefore important that each hospital determine admission criteria to identify those at greatest need. Clearly, given the prevalence outlined here, there will be a large number of patients likely to benefit from but unable to access a Specialist Geriatric Ward. These wards therefore need to also serve as exemplars of best practice so that evidence-based care for this vulnerable cohort can be disseminated within an institution.

Abstract:
BackgroundPoorer patient views of mental health inpatient treatment predict both further admissions and, for those admitted involuntarily, longer admissions. As advocated in the UK Francis report, we investigated the hypothesis that improving staff training improves patients’ views of ward care.MethodCluster randomised trial with stepped wedge design in 16 acute mental health wards randomised (using the ralloc procedure in Stata) by an independent statistician in three waves to staff training. A psychologist trained ward staff on evidence-based group interventions and then supported their introduction to each ward. The main outcome was blind self-report of perceptions of care (VOICE) before or up to 2 years after staff training between November 2008 and January 2013.ResultsIn total, 1108 inpatients took part (616 admitted involuntarily under the English Mental Health Act). On average 51.6 staff training sessions were provided per ward. Involuntary patient's perceptions of, and satisfaction with, mental health wards improved after staff training (N582, standardised effect −0·35, 95% CI −0·57 to −0·12, p = 0·002; interaction p value 0·006) but no benefit to those admitted voluntarily (N469, −0.01, 95% CI −0.23 to 0.22, p = 0.955) and no strong evidence of an overall effect (N1058, standardised effect −0.18 s.d., 95% CI −0.38 to 0.01, p = 0.062). The training costs around £10 per patient per week. Resource allocation changed towards patient perceived meaningful contacts by an average of £12 (95% CI −£76 to £98, p = 0.774).ConclusionStaff training improved the perceptions of the therapeutic environment in those least likely to want an inpatient admission, those formally detained. This change might enhance future engagement with all mental health services and prevent the more costly admissions.

Abstract:
Ward climate is a key element within psychiatric settings, associated with positive clinical outcomes. The Essen Climate Evaluation Schema (EssenCES) is a ward climate measure, which is validated for use within UK forensic settings. It has been studied within neurodevelopmental psychiatric inpatient settings with mixed findings on its appropriateness, and there is a dearth of EssenCES research which has been conducted within an adolescent psychiatric inpatient setting. The present study piloted the EssenCES within an inpatient psychiatric neurodevelopmental setting for adolescents in the East of England, in order to explore its usefulness within this setting and to provide preliminary normative data for a child and adolescent mental health services inpatient learning disability population. Staff and service users from a locked ward ( N = 28) and low secure ward ( N = 31) participated in the pilot. Results are discussed in relation to the body of the literature on ward climate, including consideration of discrepancies in the results between wards and discrepancies between staff and service.

Abstract:
BackgroundMeaningful partnering with patients is advocated to enhance care delivery. Little is known about how this is operationalised at the point of care during hospital ward rounds, where decision-making concerning patient care frequently occurs.ObjectiveDescribe participation of patients, with differing preferences for participation, during ward rounds in acute medical inpatient services.MethodsNaturalistic, multimethod design. Data were collected using surveys and observations of ward rounds at two hospitals in Melbourne, Australia. Using convenience sampling, a stratified sample of acute general medical patients were recruited. Prior to observation and interview, patient responses to the Control Preference Scale were used to stratify them into three groups representing diverse participation preferences: active control where the patient makes decisions; shared control where the patient prefers to make decisions jointly with clinicians; and passive control where the patient prefers clinicians make decisions.ResultsOf the 52 patients observed over 133 ward rounds, 30.8% (n=16) reported an active control preference for participation in decision-making during ward rounds, 25% (n=13) expressed shared control preference and 44.2% (n=23) expressed low control preference. Patients’ participation was observed in 75% (n=85) of ward rounds, but few rounds (18%, n=20) involved patient contribution to decisions about their care. Clinicians prompted patient participation in 54% of rounds; and in 15% patients initiated their own participation. Thematic analysis of qualitative observation and patient interview data revealed two themes, supporting patient capability and clinician-led opportunity, that contributed to patient participation or non-participation in ward rounds.ConclusionsParticipation in ward rounds was similar for patients irrespective of control preference. This study demonstrates the need to better understand clinician roles in supporting strategies that promote patient participation in day-to-day hospital care.

Abstract:
Research on nursing ideology and the ethics of child and adolescent psychiatric nursing care is limited. The aim of this study was to describe and explore the ideological approaches guiding psychiatric nursing in child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient wards in Finland, and discuss the ethical, theoretical and practical concerns related to nursing ideologies. Data were collected by means of a national questionnaire survey, which included one open-ended question seeking managers' opinions on the nursing ideology used in their area of practice. Questionnaires were sent to all child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient wards (n = 69) in Finland; 61 ward mangers responded. Data were analysed by qualitative and quantitative content analysis. Six categories - family centred care, individual care, milieu centred care, integrated care, educational care and psychodynamic care - were formed to specify ideological approaches used in inpatient nursing. The majority of the wards were guided by two or more approaches. Nursing models, theories and codes of ethics were almost totally ignored in the ward managers' ideological descriptions.

Abstract:
Healthcare is a complex system under great pressure for meeting the patients’ needs. Implementing technology at inpatient wards might possibly support healthcare professionals and improve quality of care. However, these technologies might come with issues and the system might not be used as intended. This master thesis project investigates how healthcare professionals communicate at an inpatient ward and how this might be affected by implementing a Mobile Healthcare Solution (MHS). Further, it sought to question why healthcare professions might, or might not, use the MHS as a support of their daily work and what some reasons for this might be. Research methods were of qualitative approach. Field studies were performed at an inpatient ward and further, two healthcare professionals were interviewed. Grounded Theory (GT) was chosen as a method to process the data and obtain understanding for communication at the inpatient ward. The results showed that healthcare professionals communicate verbally, written and by reading, using different tools. The most prominent ways of communication were verbally, where it was common to report or discuss about a patient. The means for communication did not get drastically affected by implementing the MHS and reasons for this were of social, technical and organizational types. Some reasons for not using the MHS were habits and due to healthcare professionals perceiving the MHS as more time consuming than manual handling. However, a specific investigation of whether this might affect the usage of the MHS is yet needed

Abstract:
Background: Literature indicates widespread dissatisfaction with UK acute psychiatric wards. Patients report boredom and insufficient time with staff. Residential alternatives to acute wards have been developed. Aims: 1) To review literature for the effectiveness and acceptability of alternatives 2) To identify or develop measures of content of care for acute inpatient and residential crisis services 3) To compare the content of care at alternatives and standard services and understand its relationship to patient satisfaction. Hypotheses tested were that alternatives provide greater total care, more social and psychological interventions but fewer physical and pharmacological interventions than standard wards. Method: A systematic review of studies evaluating alternatives was conducted. Measures of content of care were reviewed. New measures were developed (CaSPAR, CaRICE and CCCQ-P) and their psychometrics explored. Data were collected from 4 alternatives and 4 standard services using CaSPAR (n=224), CaRICE (1 recording week per service), CCCQ-P and CSQ (n=314). The relationship of service type, patient characteristics and CCCQ-P scores to patient satisfaction was explored. Results: The limited current evidence does not contra-indicate alternatives and suggests patient satisfaction may be greater at community alternatives than standard wards. No study hypotheses were corroborated. Sub-group analysis indicated community alternatives provided more psychological and less physical and pharmacological care than standard wards. All CCCQ-P variables were significantly associated with patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction was greatest at community alternatives. It remained significantly greater at alternatives than standard wards after adjusting for CCCQ-P variables. Discussion: Community alternatives are a promising service model. Their greater acceptability than standard wards was not explained by measured differences in care. Intensity of care may influence patient satisfaction more than the types of intervention provided. Increasing staff-patient contact should be an aim for alternative and standard services. There may be differing, valid perspectives about what constitutes care: multi-methods assessment is required.

Abstract:

Even if one is confident that the staff provide the bestpossible treatment, being admitted into hospital is still astressful situation. In recent decades, architecturalresearchers have elaborated on aspects of the patient'sperspective where the design of the physical environment maypositively enhance the healing experience. The emergingunderstanding reveals that this is not an issue to be solvedsimply by decorative design, for it entails the spatialinterpretation and integration of broader and deeper facets ofhuman response, within which suffering, empathy andprofessional care are embraced.

This thesis elucidates the patients' use of space accordingto their cultural perceptions in two inpatient wards in aregional hospital in northwestern Namibia. The study appliescase study methodology with the focus on the interactionbetween patients, visitors and nursing staff in relation to thephysical environment.

The theoretical basis within medical anthropologyconceptualises sickness as a cultural event in the dual notionillness and disease, signifying two ways of understandingsickness, the individual and the professional interpretations.The Foucauldian theory on discipline and space suggests thatthe biomedical discipline is spatially represented by themodern hospital, from which aspects of illness areexcluded.

The results show that circumstances in the physicalenvironment highly influence the patients' illness experienceby possessing certain qualities or by the activities renderedpossible by spatial conditions. The two wards possess manymodern qualities adding to an enclosed and restrictingenvironment. Patients come from a culturally dynamic andchanging context where new approaches to healthcare andhospital physical space are generated. Whereas patients haveintegrated hospital-based biomedicine as a medical alternative,modern hospital space cannot accommodate certain patient needs.Patients, visitors and nursing staff negotiate space in orderto overcome spatial weaknesses. Family members' overnightaccommodation in the hospital, as well as their voluntarycontribution to patient care, are two important aspects whichare not spatially incorporated.

An alternative ward design is suggested in which patients'and family members' active participation in the healing processis encouraged, with support from the nursing staff. The higherflexibility the design offers caters for the spatialintegration of future hybrid processes.

Abstract:
Section A consists of a critical review examining the research evidence relating to the effectiveness of reflective practice groups for staff in psychiatric inpatient settings, and the role of psychologically trained practitioners in providing facilitation using psychological formulations. Section B. The role of applied psychologists working in inpatient services is developing with a greater emphasis on providing support and consultation to staff teams. The research suggests that psychologically trained practitioners who facilitate reflective practice groups using psychological formulations can assist staff in developing a deeper understanding of patients’ difficulties, with the potential for improved treatment outcomes. This study aimed to address some of the gaps in the research by exploring the experiences of acute psychiatric inpatient ward staff attending reflective practice groups facilitated by psychologically trained practitioners. Using semi-structured interviews, nine multidisciplinary staff from four acute wards participated in the study. Grounded theory methodology was applied to investigate how staff experienced, processed, and operationalised psychological knowledge in their clinical practice. The results suggested staff increased their psychological understanding through a process of guided reflection, development of theory-practice links, and validation. This enhanced a capacity for mentalization, which generated a more compassionate and empathic stance. The clinical, theoretical and research implications are presented. Section C presents a critical appraisal of the research process.

Abstract:
Background: The number of children under the age of five who dies of malaria per thousand births is sixteen in Tanzania. Even though improvements have been made there are still many challenges in the care of malaria infected children. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences that nurses and relatives to malaria infected children have regarding the pediatric malaria care at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, Tanzania. Method: Semi structured interviews were conducted among three nurses and three relatives to malaria infected children within a pediatric ward at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, Tanzania. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and then analysed. Result: All the nurses agreed that the major challenge in the care of malaria infected children is the lack of knowledge from the relatives about prevention of malaria. This results in a lack of adherence among the relatives concerning prevention. The relatives agreed about their lack of knowledge about malaria and they wished for more education. They also considered the workload to be an issue for the nurses at the ward. The availability for the child to get treatment depends whether they are from a rural area or city. Conclusion: To continue the fight against malaria among children it is of great importance to focus on the relatives lack of knowledge about malaria, the workload issue and the long distance to hospital.

Abstract:
Criticism of NHS acute psychiatric care has been high within patient experience research, compounded by critical press coverage of inpatient wards. Government policy requires staff to deliver compassionate, personalised care, but there is little research considering staff’s perspectives and experiences of the work. This study aimed to construct a grounded theory of acute psychiatric staff’s experiences, with particular attention to what might facilitate or block compassionate patient care. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten ward staff (three men, seven women) across a range of disciplines. Data were analysed using constructivist grounded theory. The model constructed captures the dynamic interactions between eleven categories: Being in a chaotic environment, Feeling limited, Struggling to improve without support, Building patient relationships, Enjoying the work, Staying vigilant, Taking an emotional toll, Putting up a barrier, Supporting each other, Seeing tensions and differences, and Acting as one team. The study concluded that staff described feeling motivated to engage with patients but restricted by practical and emotional demands. While support was provided by colleagues and formal structures, staff could not always make full use of them. Suggestions for future research and clinical practice include changes to practical demands on staff, as well as attitudes towards reflective practice.

Abstract:
The nursing staffs who work in the NHS mental health in-patient wards sometimes physically restrain their patients. Whilst there are studies that have looked at the different aspects of the use of physical restraint, none has specifically investigated the experiences and perceptions of the staff on the use of the patient centred model of physical restraint in managing untoward incidents in the setting. As a trainer on the General Services Association model of physical intervention, I worked collaboratively with staff from two NHS mental health inpatient wards, users of physical restraint techniques, to explore their experiences, perspectives and indeed the effectiveness of the patient centred approach to physical restraint in their respective wards. Following a review of the relevant literature, the choice of a qualitative type of investigation based on the unmodified Husserlian phenomenological framework was made. To complement this style of investigation, focus group and semi-structured interviews were used to collect primary data from the study participants. Phenomenological recommendations were adopted in the analysis of data. Six core themes including: physical restraint of a patient is for safety and patient centred practices during restraint process emerged from the huge data. The findings confirmed that patient centred approach to physical restraint was effective with the patient groups in the participating wards. Participants emphatically stated that the model enabled a quick retrieval of the therapeutic relationship with their patients. This is in keeping with the ethos of mental health care which is reliant on therapeutic relationship with the patient.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on understanding psychological interventions in acute inpatient services. A review of the literature highlights some benefits of psychological interventions on acute wards both for service users (SUs) enhancing their wellbeing and acquiring new learning and also economically, reducing admissions and the number of inpatient beds. It is acknowledged that research in this area is limited and therefore to better understand SUs experience of psychological interventions on acute inpatient wards, a study was completed focusing on SUs experience of a mindfulness intervention. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the resultant themes included a process towards self-actualisation, mentalization, locus of control and cognitive strategies. These findings are discussed in relation to clinical implications for health care professionals on acute inpatient wards. It is highlighted that SUs would benefit from having choices of interventions such as mindfulness, and that these interventions are delivered as a ward ethos in which both staff members and SUs engage in the practice of mindfulness. The researcher mindfully reflected on the research journey considering reflexivity, epistemology and ethical issues.

Abstract:
Acute inpatient mental health nursing staff provide mental health care for individuals when they are most vulnerable and unwell. The therapeutic relationship can facilitate positive changes and recovery for individuals. Therefore, understanding nursing staff’s attitudes is paramount. In this thesis, the attitudes of nursing staff towards those experiencing mental health difficulties was explored. In the systematic review, the attitudes of European nursing staff supporting those experiencing severe mental health difficulties were synthesised and evaluated. A total of 14 cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria. The review identified that the role of personal experiences of mental health difficulties through friends or family members was shown to elicit more positive attitudes. Overall attitudes amongst nursing staff were varied, and factors that influenced these attitudes were less clear and consistent. The limitation of using cross-sectional questionnaires to explore attitudes was also discussed. Moreover, recommendations regarding further research priorities as well as clinical implications were identified. Nursing staff’s attitudes towards adults who were either ‘informal’ voluntary clients or those who had been admitted under the Mental Health Act (1983) to an inpatient ward were explored in the empirical paper. The attitudes of nursing staff have the potential to impact on the development of therapeutic relationships and therefore upon treatment outcomes. Repertory grid interviews were completed with twelve nursing staff. All staff made critical judgements about some of their clients; however, staff who used more dimensions to construe clients made less clear distinctions between clients and non-clients. The findings highlight the need for support mechanisms that enable staff to formulate clients’ difficulties and explore the complexity of interactions. The implications of these results are discussed, as well as future research directions. The final paper consists of a critical reflection of the research and the research process. This includes an evaluation of the decision making processes and discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of this research.

Abstract:
This study examines people’s experiences of being a patient on an acute psychiatric inpatient ward in Scotland. Within the existing research base few studies focus on the patient’s experience of acute psychiatric inpatient care, and none of these is set in Scotland. Those that do, indicate that the patient experience of acute psychiatric inpatient care is often negative. The theoretical perspective of this study conceptualises experience as represented in narrative form, thus the data take the form of narratives. Thirteen participants were recruited through the acute ward. Each participant participated in two unstructured interviews focussed on gathering narratives of their experience. Data analysis was holistic, guided by Gee’s (1991) socio-linguistic theories. This holistic analysis culminated in the presentation of each participant’s narrative in poetic form. From the holistic analysis I identified three themes - help, safety and power - that were evident in the analyses of all participants’ interviews. The theme of help represents participants’ expectations that they will receive help on the ward, and their experiences of trying to get this help. Safety represents participants’ expectations pertaining to the ward’s function in keeping them safe, their experience of threat and strategies to keep safe. The theme of power represents participants’ experiences of power relations within the acute ward. I conclude that participants’ experiences of being a patient on the ward are characterised by feelings of frustration, concerns about safety, and the perceived need to focus on self-presentation as they attempt to reach their desired goal of discharge.

Abstract:
Each year, roughly 18,000 medical students graduate from 170 plus medical schools in the United States. Nearly all of these graduates will continue their medical education at one of the more than 1,000 teaching hospitals across the country. Because of the reduction in the resident work week and the more recent intern shift cap, medical education on the wards must be high yield. This educational responsibility falls on the shoulders of attending physicians, few of whom have had formal education in teaching. This book utilized an in-depth exploratory, qualitative approach to uncover how a group of attendings, identified as experts in the field of medical teaching, construct learning environments that promote team-based learning while delivering high-quality patient-centered care. We observed attendings with their teams on rounds and conducted interviews and focus groups with the attendings and current and former learners in order to obtain multiple perspectives on what makes an attending a great teacher and clinician. Using real examples derived from the inpatient teaching environment, this book will provide readers with strategies they can modify and incorporate into their own teaching repertoire, including how to utilize the expertise of other allied health professionals and involve the patient in the teaching process.

Abstract:
This chapter describes music therapy in cancer care in Western and Asian countries. Detailed descriptions of cancer prevalence, mortality rates, histological classifications, treatments, and biopsychosocial effects are provided. When affected by cancer, music therapy can offer support, enable symptom alleviation, promote endurance and spiritual well-being, and assist in functional restoration and quality of life improvement. An evolving music therapy assessment procedure in oncology is outlined as well as common music therapy methods used in inpatient and outpatient settings, and to promote community ward-based care. Music therapists can: Replay music from the patients’ and families’ lives; help them to explore new musical experiences, such as improvisation, song writing, chanting and toning; and offer music relaxation and supportive or guided imagery experiences. Research has demonstrated music therapy’s positive effects on patients, their families, and staff care givers, reinforcing its important and meaningful role in multidisciplinary oncology care.

Abstract:
The development of hospice and palliative care in Austria started with dedicated volunteers in the 1980s and is strongly linked to the development of training for professionals. In 2015, volunteers in hospice and pailliative care (HPC) in Austria numbered 3,630 (87 per cent female) spending 257.510 hours in direct patient care taking care of 12.832 patients, 147.578 hours with activities like training, supervision and fundraising; activities as broard members. HPC volunteers are organized in teams, specially trained (national curriculum with 160 hours and 40 hours practice), and as hospice teams form part of the graded hospice and palliative care system in Austria. They care for patients and their families in all settings: the patients’ homes, nursing homes, hospital wards, and palliative care units, as well as inpatient hospices and day hospices. Factors of success are: effective management and training, standards and guidelines, adequate funding, and appreciation and good cooperation between volunteers and paid staff.

Abstract:
Traditionally the domain of consultation/ liaison psychiatry, the challenge of recognizing and then appropriately treating the psychiatric complications of general medical disorders requires thoughtful planning and attention in corrections. Medical conditions that have psychiatric symptoms represent a significant diagnostic dilemma, particularly in the correctional health setting. Over half of the inmates in the United States have symptoms of a major mental illness, but the pervasiveness of substance use disorders, the increasing prevalence of elderly inmates, and limited access to a patient’s past medical and psychiatric records all contribute to the challenge of discerning when a psychiatric presentation results from an underlying medical condition. One early study underscored this challenge, noting that 46% of the patients admitted to community psychiatric wards had an unrecognized medical illness that either caused or exacerbated their psychiatric illness. A more recent study observed that 2.8% of admissions to inpatient psychiatry were due to unrecognized medical conditions. Emergency room medical clearance of patients presenting for psychiatric admission has revealed an increased risk for such underlying medical conditions among patients with any of five characteristics: elderly, a history of substance abuse, no prior history of mental illness, lower socioeconomic status, or significant preexisting medical illnesses. This chapter examines several of these risk groups and focuses on the presenting symptoms of delirium, mood disorders, and psychosis and the underlying medical conditions that can mimic or exacerbate them.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews research and expert guidelines on inpatient management of personality disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It covers use of medication, milieu approaches, other psychosocial interventions, the impact of the ward environment, quality assurance mechanisms, and the impact of institutionalization. Ways in which formal therapeutic approaches can be implemented on inpatient wards are also addressed. The effect of risky and challenging behaviours on defensive practice and staff burnout is covered, and detailed advice on managing suicidal and high-risk patients who are difficult to discharge safely is included. The chapter details specific approaches to milieu management, use of observations, personalized care plans, and communication styles in borderline personality disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Patients with these diagnoses constitute an important group of inpatients, and with careful management, iatrogenic harms can be avoided.

Abstract:
Putting the patient at the centre of their care is a fundamental principle of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach. It is generally recognized as being an effective model for delivering individualized care to patients with complex needs and is promoted in a growing number of local and national policies and best practice guidelines, in a wide range of clinical specialities. While clinical staff seem clear on the assumed benefits of MDT working, there is surprisingly little written about its clinical effectiveness. This chapter briefly explores some of the challenges presented to effective MDT working within the acute mental health inpatient ward. The key principles and characteristics of MDT working are described with an exploration of the key roles and functions within the MDT and their application to acute mental health inpatients wards.

Abstract:
This chapter describes regular daily processes within the inpatient mental health ward that form the backbone of the ward’s functioning and underpin the ability of wards to provide therapeutic and safe environments. Precisely because acute inpatient wards can be unpredictable, with changing circumstances generating unremitting challenges to patients, carers, and staff, these daily processes, such as handover, medication, and mealtimes, are crucial to help create a sense of structure as well as safe clinical care. These processes must be followed if inpatient psychiatric wards are going to be able to provide an environment that allows the development of enabling and therapeutic relationships for patients, carers, and staff themselves.

Abstract:
Provision of specialist mental health services for older adults (previously referred to as ‘psychogeriatrics’) is recommended by the World Health Organization. In the UK, this extends to specialist wards for older inpatients with mental health problems. This chapter explores the rationale and provision of specialist older adult mental health beds in the UK and the different types of service offered. Beyond the macro level, it aims to provide a handbook for anyone wishing to set up such a ward from scratch: it explores what a ward designed with older adults in mind would look like (design) and what resources and staffing are necessary. The needs specific to this demographic of the population are explored, including issues such as physical health, frailty, and the most common mental health conditions one might encounter on such as ward (dementia, late-life depression, and late-life psychosis).

Abstract:
Nearly half of individuals with stroke experience some form of long-term disability and stroke is one of the main causes of wheelchair use in the United States [1]. Early rehabilitation in the acute phase of stroke has been shown critical to promoting motor plasticity and patient outcomes. However, research shows that only 32% of the time during inpatient rehabilitation is spent in active therapy, while the rest of the time is spent on other activities around the ward [2]. For walking impairment, it is especially important for patients to experience similar force loading and practice the patterning of gait in order to recover [3]. However, in a typical therapy session focused on gait rehabilitation patients only will take about 300 steps on average. This is far below what has been thought needed for humans to learn how to walk [4].

Abstract:
Coronaviruses are members of the Coronaviridae family. They are enveloped, non-segmented, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. Their genome size is about 30 kilobases (kb) which consist, at the 5’ end, of non-structural open reading frames (ORFs: ORF1a, ORF 1b) which code for 16 non structural proteins, and at the 3’ end the genes which code for four structural proteins including membrane (M), envelope (E), spike (S), and nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, a reliable detection method is needed for patient diagnosis especially in the early stages of the disease. WHO has recommended nucleic acid amplification tests such as real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The assay detects three SARS-CoV-2 RNA targets: the envelope (E) gene, the nucleocapsid (N) gene and a region of the open reading frame (ORF1) of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene from SARS-CoV-2 virus isolate Wuhan-Hu-1. Our study was made in the first 3 months of the year 2021 using the real-time RT PCR results obtained in the Cellular Biology ward of the University Emergency Clinical Hospital. In our lab we are testing the inpatients from the hospital wards (Neurology, Pediatrics, Surgery, Internal medicine, ICU, Cardiology, etc.); we are also testing the outpatients from Dialysis and Oncology, 2 days prior to their therapy; we also test the health care personnel. The number of tests we performed was: in January 1456, with 399 positive results (27.4%), 33 deaths; in February 1273 tests, 221 positive (17.36%), 16 deaths; in March 1471 tests, 373 positive (25.36%), 37 deceased.
