摘要

背景:稳定和转诊区(SARA)是一种独特的短期精神病学住院治疗模式。本协议详细介绍了对澳大利亚偏远地区皇家达尔文医院内一项新的SARA服务的全面评估。在北领地,每10万人中只有17张专门的精神健康病床,而全国平均水平为每10万人中有27张。以前没有对澳大利亚地区和偏远地区的SARA服务进行评估,因此,在这些独特的环境中,SARA服务的可接受性和对消费者结果的潜在影响是未知的。本研究方案试图解决这一知识差距。研究设计:采用三角法和镜像法的混合方法研究。方法:建议在最初的12个月期间使用镜像组件进行服务评估协议,以便在服务开始之前对消费者结果进行比较。服务评估以“达致、成效、采纳、实施及维持”(RE-AIM)架构为指引,并采用定性及定量方法全面描述服务。结果:结果将包括使用RE-AIM框架的“R”、“E”和“A”组成部分(Reach、Effectiveness和Adoption)的定性和定量数据。结论:急诊科(EDs)不太适合经历精神健康危机的人,需要努力改善服务的提供和病人的流量。减少急诊科的等待时间是至关重要的。SARA是一种创新的护理模式,可以解决其中的一些问题。通过一系列措施评估其表现是改进和改进服务的关键。服务地点的独特环境拥有大量的第一民族人口和偏远的环境,这进一步增加了在这种地理环境下理解这种模式的必要性。

An Evaluation Protocol for A Stabilisation and Referral Area (SARA): A Novel Short Stay Psychiatry Unit Serving A Remote Region of Australia.

Background: Stabilisation and Referral Areas (SARA) are a unique model of Short Stay Psychiatry inpatient care. This protocol details the comprehensive evaluation of a new SARA service within the Royal Darwin Hospital located in remote and regional Australia. Located in the Northern Territory (NT) there are just 17 specialised mental health beds per 100,000 compared to the national average of 27 per 100,000. There have been no previous evaluations of SARA services in regional and remote Australian settings, therefore their acceptability and potential effects on consumer outcomes in these unique settings is unknown. This study protocol attempts to address this knowledge gap.

Study design: A mixed method study with triangulation and including mirror methodology.

Methods: A service evaluation protocol is proposed to be conducted over an initial 12 months period with a mirror image component to enable comparison of consumer outcomes prior to the service inception. The service evaluation is guided by the "Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance" (RE-AIM) framework and utilized both qualitative and quantitative measures to comprehensively describe the service.

Results: Results will include both qualitative and quantitative data using the "R", "E" and "A" component (Reach, Effectiveness and Adoption) of the RE-AIM framework.

Conclusions: Emergency departments (EDs) are not well suited to persons experiencing mental health crisis and efforts need to be made to improve the delivery of service as well as patient flow. Minimizing wait times in ED is paramount. SARA is an innovative model of care that may address some of these issues. Evaluating its performance across a range of measures is key to improving and progressing the service. The unique context of the service location which has a large First Nations population and its remote setting adds further weight to the need to understand this model within this geographical context.
