Research summary
We are completing this survey to a) gauge how psychiatric intensive care (PICU) and low secure services (LSU) and service user (SU) populations have changed since the original benchmark was completed in 2006 (see Pereira, Dawson & Sarsam for further details) b) to clarify 'locked rehabilitation' services as per the recent call in the literature (See Dye, Smythe & Pereira) and how they differ from PICU & LSU services and c) to provide validation of the model of successful team engagement as defined by Pereira & Woolstaon (2007).
The benefits of completing are to a) Commissioners - local and NHS England who will be provided with an update on units practice development in the last 10 years b) SU / Carers - who will be able to voice their opinions and shape development of care and c) Staff - by validation of model of team engagement which can be rolled out and c) UK tax-payers regarding use of NHS monies for practice development in the last 10 years.
We are studying the provision of PICU, LSU and LRU services and the type of service users these units provide care for through the lens of successful team engagement. We are surveying unit and service user characteristics.
All English & Welsh NHS & Private units who have participated in Phase 1 of the survey (144 UK units) will be invited to take part in phase 2 on a first come first served basis. If successful, staff, service users and carers will be invited to give their views on the unit / service. For detailed exclusion / inclusion criteria please see project protocol.
Interviews will take place over a 2 month period and the project will be complete by May 2019.
Please see the detailed project protocol for further specific details.
