Abstract

There is high demand for specialist mental health services for children and young people in the UK. Non-mental health nurses are well-placed to assess the mental health needs and risks of children and young people to maximise opportunities for early intervention and relieve the pressure on child and adolescent mental health services. This article provides an overview of a service development project to develop a web-based application (app) to support non-mental health nurses when assessing the mental health needs and risks of children and young people. The article describes the development, testing and evaluation process, which involved consultation with children and young people as well as interviews, focus groups and an online survey with a range of professionals working with children and young people. Overall, the findings suggest that the app is appropriate for use by non-mental health nurses in terms of quality, functionality and acceptability.

英国儿童和青少年对专业心理健康服务的需求量很大。非心理健康护士非常适合评估儿童和青少年的心理健康需求和风险，从而最大限度地利用早期干预的机会，缓解儿童和青少年心理健康服务的压力。本文概述了一个服务开发项目，该项目旨在开发一个基于网络的应用程序（App），以支持非心理健康护士评估儿童和青少年的心理健康需求和风险。文章介绍了开发、测试和评估过程，其中包括咨询儿童和青少年的意见，以及与从事儿童和青少年工作的专业人员进行访谈、焦点小组讨论和在线调查。总体而言，研究结果表明，就质量、功能和可接受性而言，该应用程序适合非心理健康护士使用。
