The results indicate that these officers are concerned for inmates' welfare, are knowledgeable about, and are competent to identify and handle, problems of physical health. By contrast, they find mental health problems unpredictable and mystifying, and are not confident that in the prison context professionals can solve those problems. Discipline officers are well placed to act as front-line health surveillance staff and feel that they communicate well with healthcare staff. However, they feel that information does not flow freely in the opposite direction, and are concerned about the problems that arise from healthcare staff adhering to the 'medical in confidence' principle by which information on a prisoner's condition should not be shared outside strictly professional health-care groups, thus excluding discipline groups. In trying to elaborate on our results by looking at two recent review papers on mental health in prisons, we discovered that it is not clear exactly how prevalent such problems are: there is no evidence to contradict the views of the discipline officers, yet some to support them.","PeriodicalId":177021,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Times Research","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121436425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from focus groups and interviews were also content-analysed to yield a theory of nursing in secure environments comprising of statements of competency. The competences were translated into a questionnaire and distributed to nurses working in high, medium and low security mental health settings. Respondents stated whether individual competences were part of their current practice or supervisory involvement, and the degree of importance they accorded to each competency. The competence framework received widespread support from nurses at all levels of security in relation to their role description and level of importance. Results identified issues in relation to security and how procedures in parts of the system (notably in high security) militate against therapeutic care. Noticeable differences emerged between respondents working in high and medium secure environments in relation to involvement of the patient's family and preparation for discharge. Issues of concern common to all levels of security included teamwork, balancing security and therapy, boundaries of professional practice, and clinical supervision.","PeriodicalId":177021,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Times Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122958181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite many concerns about violence and assault in healthcare, there is an alarming lack of clarity on matters of procedure and policy pertaining to safety and security in psychiatric hospitals. This paper describes the safety and security measures in psychiatric acute admission wards in the Republic of Ireland and may be considered to be representative of acute psychiatric settings in other jurisdictions. A population study was undertaken, which included all psychiatric acute admission wards in the Republic. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with the use of a questionnaire for data collection. The questionnaire was analysed using SPSS (version 11) and descriptive statistics were used to present the results. There was wide variation in safety and security practices across the wards. Measures aimed at ensuring staff security were also lacking, with no overall acceptable minimal standards discernible. It may be concluded that there is a lack of coherent policy and procedure in safety and security measures across psychiatric acute admission wards. One has to ask to what extent the disparate practices in safety and security revealed in the results of the study account for the escalation in violent episodes and assaultive behaviour in psychiatric services in recent years.","PeriodicalId":177021,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Times Research","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132829410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
