Research summary
This study aims to identify and prioritise with Health Care Professionals (HCPs) and experts through experience (Children and young people, CYP), risk mitigation strategies that could be used with CYP in mental health crisis admitted to acute paediatric NHS care.
We will achieve this aim by conducting a mixed methods study involving two Work Packages (WP):
WP1 will involve conducting 1:1 interviews and/or focus groups with HCPs (n=8 max.) and CYP experts through experience (n=8 max.) to explore and understand strategies they have used/been in receipt of to reduce risk and improve safety. Data will be recorded via Webex Cisco™ software, transcribed and analysed using content analysis.
WP2 will involve taking the findings from WP1 and establishing consensus in relation to the relevance of the risk mitigation strategies using an adapted Delphi approach. A group of experts HCPs, CYPs and key stakeholders (n=20 max.) will attend a prioritisation workshop where each strategy will be rated for relevance.
A list of recommendations will be generated from this workshop which will be taken forward to inform the content for the development of a prototype risk mitigation pathway.
Total study period: April 2022 - July 2022.
