Acute mental health inpatient wards have been criticized for being nontherapeutic. The study aimed to test the feasibility of delivering a psychologically informed intervention in these settings. This single-arm study evaluated the feasibility of clinical psychologists delivering a ward-based psychological service model over a 6-month period on two acute mental health wards. Data were gathered to assess trial design parameters and the feasibility of gathering patient/staff outcome data. Psychologists were able to deliver key elements of the intervention. Baseline staff and patient participant recruitment targets were met. However, there was significant patient attrition at follow-up, with incorrect contact details on discharge being the primary reason. Implementation of a ward-based psychological intervention appears feasible when implemented flexibly. It is feasible to recruit staff and patient participants and to collect staff outcome measures over a 6-month period. However, greater efforts need to be taken to trace patient movement following discharge.

对急性心理健康病房进行心理知情病房干预的可行性研究

急性精神健康住院病房因非治疗性而受到批评。该研究旨在测试在这些环境中提供心理知情干预的可行性。这项单臂研究评估了临床心理学家在两个急性心理健康病房中提供基于病房的心理服务模式的可行性，为期 6 个月。收集数据以评估试验设计参数和收集患者/工作人员结果数据的可行性。心理学家能够提供干预的关键要素。基线工作人员和患者参与者招募目标均已达到。然而，在随访中出现了显着的患者流失，主要原因是出院时的联系方式不正确。当灵活实施时，实施基于病房的心理干预似乎是可行的。招募工作人员和患者参与者并在 6 个月内收集工作人员结果测量是可行的。然而，需要采取更大的努力来追踪患者出院后的活动。
