Objective:
Evaluation of the changes of ward atmosphere and job satisfaction after the implementation of the Safewards model in acute psychiatry in Germany.
Method:
A multi-perspective pre-post study design was conducted in two locked wards among patients (n = 80) and staff (n = 88) before and after the implementation of the Safewards model over a period of 12 months.
Results:
After the implementation of the Safewards model, ward atmosphere and job satisfaction improved. Both correlated positively amongst staff. Furthermore, job satisfaction correlated positively with a high degree of implementation of two interventions. Fidelity to the Safewards model was high.
Conclusions:
Implementing the Safewards model in acute psychiatry with high fidelity can have positive effects on positive ward atmosphere and job satisfaction. Thus, patients as well as staff benefit from this model. With regards to high fluctuation in acute psychiatry, the implementation of the Safewards model can additionally facilitate retention management.
