Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Nursing
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Risk assessment and safety planning are crucial in mental health nursing.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns significantly disrupted these practices.
  • Understanding these disruptions is vital for maintaining effective mental healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the impact of UK pandemic lockdowns on mental health practitioners' risk assessment and safety planning.
  • To identify changes in the frequency and nature of these practices during the pandemic.
  • To understand practitioners' preferences for remote vs. in-person work post-pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential, mixed-methods study design was employed.
  • Online surveys were distributed to mental health practitioners (n=106).
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a subset of respondents (n=10).

Main Results:

  • Most practitioners increased risk assessment frequency, but overall change was not significant.
  • Remote contact, primarily via telephone, became more common in community settings.
  • Practitioners expressed a preference against continuing remote working after the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • UK mental health services experienced changes in risk assessment practices due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
  • The pandemic necessitated adaptations in service delivery, particularly in community settings.
  • Practitioner preferences indicate a need for careful consideration of future remote working policies.
