Nurses’ attitudes to supporting people who are suicidal in emergency departments

YesThe aim of this study is to determine emergency nurses’ knowledge about, and perceived ability to support, people who are suicidal. A questionnaire consisting of 34 questions was sent out to 113 adult emergency nurses employed in two emergency departments. A total of 38 responded. Findings highlight differences in attitudes and show a correlation between suicide prevention training and nurses’ perceived competence to triage people who are suicidal. The article makes recommendations for future research, as well as nurse education and training on suicide prevention, to improve attitudes and increase emergency nurses’ ability to respond effectively to people who are suicidal

Improving outcomes for people in mental health crisis: a rapid synthesis of the evidence for available models of care

BACKGROUND: Crisis Concordat was established to improve outcomes for people experiencing a mental health crisis. The Crisis Concordat sets out four stages of the crisis care pathway: (1) access to support before crisis point; (2) urgent and emergency access to crisis care; (3) quality treatment and care in crisis; and (4) promoting recovery. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the models of care for improving outcomes at each stage of the care pathway. DATA SOURCES: Electronic databases were searched for guidelines, reviews and, where necessary, primary studies. The searches were performed on 25 and 26 June 2014 for NHS Evidence, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, NHS Economic Evaluation Database, and the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and PROSPERO databases, and on 11 November 2014 for MEDLINE, PsycINFO and the Criminal Justice Abstracts databases. Relevant reports and reference lists of retrieved articles were scanned to identify additional studies. STUDY SELECTION: When guidelines covered a topic comprehensively, further literature was not assessed; however, where there were gaps, systematic reviews and then primary studies were assessed in order of priority. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS: Systematic reviews were critically appraised using the Risk Of Bias In Systematic reviews assessment tool, trials were assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, studies without a control group were assessed using the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) prognostic studies tool and qualitative studies were assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme quality assessment tool. A narrative synthesis was conducted for each stage of the care pathway structured according to the type of care model assessed. The type and range of evidence identified precluded the use of meta-analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: One review of reviews, six systematic reviews, nine guidelines and 15 primary studies were included. There was very limited evidence for access to support before crisis point. There was evidence of benefits for liaison psychiatry teams in improving service-related outcomes in emergency departments, but this was often limited by potential confounding in most studies. There was limited evidence regarding models to improve urgent and emergency access to crisis care to guide police officers in their Mental Health Act responsibilities. There was positive evidence on clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of crisis resolution teams but variability in implementation. Current work from the Crisis resolution team Optimisation and RElapse prevention study aims to improve fidelity in delivering these models. Crisis houses and acute day hospital care are also currently recommended by NICE. There was a large evidence base on promoting recovery with a range of interventions recommended by NICE likely to be important in helping people stay well. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Most evidence was rated as low or very low quality, but this partly reflects the difficulty of conducting research into complex interventions for people in a mental health crisis and does not imply that all research was poorly conducted. However, there are currently important gaps in research for a number of stages of the crisis care pathway. Particular gaps in research on access to support before crisis point and urgent and emergency access to crisis care were found. In addition, more high-quality research is needed on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of mental health crisis care, including effective components of inpatient care, post-discharge transitional care and Community Mental Health Teams/intensive case management teams. STUDY REGISTRATION: This study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42014013279. FUNDING: The National Institute for Health Research HTA programme

An evidence-based approach to the use of telehealth in long-term health conditions: development of an intervention and evaluation through pragmatic randomised controlled trials in patients with depression or raised cardiovascular risk

Background: Health services internationally are exploring the potential of telehealth to support the management of the growing number of people with long-term conditions (LTCs). Aim: To develop, implement and evaluate new care programmes for patients with LTCs, focusing on two common LTCs as exemplars: depression or high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Methods Development: We synthesised quantitative and qualitative evidence on the effectiveness of telehealth for LTCs, conducted a qualitative study based on interviews with patients and staff and undertook a postal survey to explore which patients are interested in different forms of telehealth. Based on these studies we developed a conceptual model [TElehealth in CHronic disease (TECH) model] as a framework for the development and evaluation of the Healthlines Service for patients with LTCs. Implementation: The Healthlines Service consisted of regular telephone calls to participants from health information advisors, supporting them to make behaviour change and to use tailored online resources. Advisors sought to optimise participants’ medication and to improve adherence. Evaluation: The Healthlines Service was evaluated with linked pragmatic randomised controlled trials comparing the Healthlines Service plus usual care with usual care alone, with nested process and economic evaluations. Participants were adults with depression or raised CVD risk recruited from 43 general practices in three areas of England. The primary outcome was response to treatment and the secondary outcomes included anxiety (depression trial), individual risk factors (CVD risk trial), self-management skills, medication adherence, perceptions of support, access to health care and satisfaction with treatment. Trial results Depression trial: In total, 609 participants were randomised and the retention rate was 86%. Response to treatment [Patient Health Questionnaire 9-items (PHQ-9) reduction of ≥ 5 points and score of < 10 after 4 months] was higher in the intervention group (27%, 68/255) than in the control group (19%, 50/270) [odds ratio 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1 to 2.5; p = 0.02]. Anxiety also improved. Intervention participants reported better access to health support, greater satisfaction with treatment and small improvements in self-management, but not improved medication adherence. CVD risk trial: In total, 641 participants were randomised and the retention rate was 91%. Response to treatment (maintenance of/reduction in QRISK®2 score after 12 months) was higher in the intervention group (50%, 148/295) than in the control group (43%, 124/291), which does not exclude a null effect (odds ratio 1.3, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.9; p = 0.08). The intervention was associated with small improvements in blood pressure and weight, but not smoking or cholesterol. Intervention participants were more likely to adhere to medication, reported better access to health support and greater satisfaction with treatment, but few improvements in self-management. The Healthlines Service was likely to be cost-effective for CVD risk, particularly if the benefits are sustained, but not for depression. The intervention was implemented largely as planned, although initial delays and later disruption to delivery because of the closure of NHS Direct may have adversely affected participant engagement. Conclusion: The Healthlines Service, designed using an evidence-based conceptual model, provided modest health benefits and participants valued the better access to care and extra support provided. This service was cost-effective for CVD risk but not depression. These findings of small benefits at extra cost are consistent with previous pragmatic research on the implementation of comprehensive telehealth programmes for LTCs

Census 1991: Individual Sample of Anonymised Records for Great Britain (SARs)

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The UK censuses took place on&nbsp;21st April 1991. They were run by the Census Office for Northern Ireland, General Register Office for Scotland, and the Office of Population and Surveys for both England and Wales. The UK comprises the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.Statistics from the UK censuses help paint a picture of the nation and how we live. They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services.The 1991 Individual Sample of Anonymised Records for Great Britain (SARs) represents a 2% sample of individuals enumerated in households and communal establishments in the 1991 Census. It consists of almost 1.2 million individual records. The SARs were drawn from the fully coded set of census records returned by households and institutions. They therefore omit wholly imputed households and also households that were missed by the Census. In total, 278 geographical areas are identified on the Individual SAR and include all large local authority districts with a population of at least 120,000 in the 1989 mid-year estimates. Smaller local authorities have been grouped together to form areas with populations over 120,000. The Individual SAR was selected from the 10% sample of the 1991 Census from the remaining households after the removal of the Household SAR. This ensured that there were no overlapping cases in the two samples. Individuals in the remaining households were stratified into groups of nine, and two individuals were selected from each group at random. Individuals in communal establishments were stratified into groups of five, and one individual was selected at random from each group. The records were then scrambled to prevent the geographical tracing within a SAR area. In the Individual file there are two potential sources of clustering which arise in the sampling process. First, individuals are clustered into households in the selection of the 1% sample and second, the removal of the household SAR from the 1% sample implies a further clustering into households. Nonetheless, the Individual SAR approximates to a simple random sample. Further information, including guides and other documentation, may be found on the Cathie Marsh Centre for Survey Research Samples of Anonymised Records website.

They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services.The Northern Ireland Household Sample of Anonymised Records (SAR) is a 1% sample of households and all individuals in those households. It is a hierarchical file allowing linkages between individuals. The SARs were drawn from the fully coded set of Census records returned by households and institutions. They therefore omit wholly imputed households and also households that were missed by the Census. The NI Household SAR contains 81 variables, similar to those in the Individual file. However, the structure of the file allows a large number of other variables to be derived. The sampling strategy used is similar to that used in GB, however, while in GB only 10% of cases were fully coded, in Northern Ireland all cases were fully coded. Consequently the NI file was not drawn from a pre-existing 10% sample. New variables have been created for the hierarchical household file since summary information about a household can be computed from data about the individuals in that household.

2001 Census: Household Sample of Anonymised Records (HSAR): Secure Access

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The 2001 Census: Special Licence Household Sample of Anonymised Records (SL-HSAR) dataset comprises Sample of Anonymised Records (SARs) data that relate to 29 April 2001. They were created by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of the 2001 Census of Population. All households were asked to complete a form giving information about the household and all individuals living in the household. Completion of the form was compulsory for the entire population. The Census schedule includes questions on housing and tenure, and demographic and socio-economic information for all household members. The dataset comprises SARs data for 1% of households in England and Wales, including imputed values for households which were not enumerated during the Census. Individual data for households larger than 11 residents have been suppressed. To protect confidentiality, age data have been grouped into 2-year bands and there is no geographical breakdown available. A small amount of perturbation has been applied to the data to protect confidentiality. As with the Individual Licensed SAR (see under SNs 7210 and 7211), separate variables indicate whether or not imputation or perturbation has been applied to any given variable for each case in the sample. Documentation, training and user support for these data is undertaken by the SARs team at the Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research (CCSR). A further release of data, which contains additional derived variables, will be made available at a later date. The Secure Access version replaces the previous Special Licence version that was held under SN 5278, which is no longer available. Prospective users of the Secure Access data will need to fulfil additional requirements, including completion of face-to-face training and agreement to Secure Access' User Agreement and Breaches Penalties Policy, in order to obtain permission to use that version (see 'Access' section below). Detailed SARs data: A more detailed version of these data, containing geographical information at the level of Local Authority, is available as a Controlled Access Microdata Sample (CAMS). These can be accessed at all ONS sites. Applications to use these data should be made to ONS; further details can be found on their CAMS web page. The CAMS file includes data for Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as England and Wales. Main Topics:A full range of census topics are included in the dataset, for example household structure, ethnicity and religion, housing, transport, employment, education and health and caring

The data are available for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Information is included for each individual on the main demographic, health, socio-economic and household variables. The 3% sample is an increase by comparison with 2% in 1991. Some variables have been broad-banded to reduce disclosure risk. The lowest level of geography is the Government Office Region (GOR), although Inner and Outer London are separately identified. This represents a significant reduction by comparison with the 1991 where large Local Authorities (population 120,000 and over) were separately identified.

It is a hierarchical file allowing linkages between individuals. The geographical base of the 1991 Household SAR is the Registrar General's Standard Regions (the South East is split into Inner and Outer London and the remainder of the South East). The SARs were drawn from the fully coded set of Census records returned by households and institutions. They therefore omit wholly imputed households and also households that were missed by the Census. The 1991 Household SAR contains 67 variables, similar to those in the Individual file (held under SN 7210). However, the structure of the file allows a large number of other variables to be derived. Many new variables have been created for the hierarchical household file since summary information about a household can be computed from data about the individuals in that household. Both 1991 SARs, Household and Individual, were selected from the 10% sample of the 1991 Census. The 1991 Household SAR was selected first. Households were ordered geographically by county and enumeration district in England and Wales, by region and output area in Scotland. They were then grouped into ten households at a time and one household was selected at random from each group. The sampled records were then scrambled to prevent geographical tracing within a SAR area. The 1991 Household SAR approximates to a simple stratified random sample of households, although counts of individuals in the household file are subject to the effects of clustering.

They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services.The Census 2001: Small Area Microdata SAM is a 5% sample of individuals for all countries of the UK, with 2.96 million cases. Local Authority is the lowest level of geography for England and Wales, Council Areas for Scotland and Parliamentary Constituencies for Northern Ireland. The Scilly Isles have been merged with Penwith and the City of London with Westminster. Orkney and Shetland are merged into one area. All other areas are identified. The median sample size for an authority is 5,600 records and nearly eighty authorities have more than 10,000 records. The amount of individual detail in the SAM is less than in the 2001 Individual Licenced Sample of Anonymised Records (I-SAR)(see under SNs 7205 and 7206) because of the greater geographical detail in the SAM. Caveat - Students: As with the Individual SAR, the SAM includes those enumerated in a communal establishment and also full-time students who were enumerated at an address that was not their usual term-time residence. For the latter there is only individual-level information on age, sex, marital status and full-time student status. It is recommended that these students are not included in any analyses as they do not form part of the usual residents population base.

They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services.The 2001 Individual Licensed Sample of Anonymised Records (I-SAR) is a 3% sample of individuals for all countries of the United Kingdom, with approximately 1.84 million records. The data are available for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Information is included for each individual on the main demographic, health, socio-economic and household variables. The 3% sample is an increase by comparison with 2% in 1991. Some variables have been broad-banded to reduce disclosure risk. The lowest level of geography is the Government Office Region (GOR), although Inner and Outer London are separately identified. This represents a significant reduction by comparison with the 1991 where large Local Authorities (population 120,000 and over) were separately identified. This dataset contains 89 variables; a version designed for imputation analysis, which contains an extra 84 imputation flag variables, is available under SN 7206.
