Area of Science:

Mental Health
Team Dynamics
Healthcare Management

Background:

Multidisciplinary mental health teams are crucial for comprehensive patient care.
Effective team functioning is essential for optimal treatment outcomes.
Self-assessment tools can identify areas for team improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a self-assessment training program for multidisciplinary mental health teams.
To implement this training at a state psychiatric hospital.
To evaluate the impact of the training on team self-assessments using the Scale for Leadership Assessment and Team Evaluation (SLATE).

Main Methods:

102 mental health professionals from 12 inpatient units participated.
The Scale for Leadership Assessment and Team Evaluation (SLATE) was administered pre- and post-training.
Training involved team self-assessment during treatment planning, with feedback, didactics, consultation, and videotaping.

Main Results:

Overall SLATE scores significantly increased post-training.
All four subscales (team, psychiatrist, participation, treatment plan) showed significant improvement.
The greatest improvement was observed in the psychiatrist leadership subscale.

Conclusions:

Treatment planning sessions effectively facilitate team self-assessment for multidisciplinary mental health teams.
Training incorporating videotaping, consultation, and structured attention to team dynamics enhances perceived team functioning.
