“…Good practice requires that nurses prioritise spending therapeutic engagement time with service users over administrative duties ( Gabrielsson et al, 2016 ). Yet acute inpatient nurses experience considerable tensions around keeping often severely mentally-distressed service users safe whilst trying to build and sustain therapeutic relationships and milieu ( Simpson, 2022 ). Nurses may be motivated to seek opportunities for therapeutic encounters with service users to create a basis for therapeutic work ( Thibeault, 2016 ) but, without an organisational focus on the value of the therapeutic relationship, can frequently be diverted to relationships based more on risk management and correction ( Bolsinger et al, 2020 ; Zugai et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Therefore, the risks of using social media should be highlighted. Of course, Internet and social media also can play a positive role for mental health by fostering interactions with others, engaging with peer support networks, and accessing information and services ( 17 , 57 ), and thus the boundaries for an appropriate, coherent, and potential beneficial usage of Internet should be established ( 58 ). To improve the usage of social media, it would be useful to better study and understand the modality of using social media in young people and in their peers with mental health problems ( 59–62 ).…”

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the status of pandemic due to the COVID-19 infection. The initial phases of the pandemic were characterized by uncertainty and public fears. In order to cope with such unexpected conditions, people adopted different coping strategies, including search for information, accessing Internet, and using social media. The present study based on the COMET collaborative research network aims to: (1) assess use of Internet and of social media among the Italian general population; (2) explore differences in web usage between people with pre-existing mental disorders and the general population; (3) identify changes over time in social media usage along the phase 1 of the pandemic; (4) identify the clinical, socio-demographic and contextual predictors of excessive use of social media. A significant increase in time spent on Internet, with an average time of 4.8 ± 0.02 h per day, was found in the global sample of 20,720 participants. Compared with the general population, Internet use was significantly higher in people with pre-existing mental disorders (5.2 ± 0.1 h vs. 4.9 ± 0.02; p < 0.005). According to the multivariate logistic regression model, the risk of excessive use of social media and Internet was significantly higher in people with moderate levels of depressive symptoms (OR: 1.26, CI 95%: 0.99 to 1.59, p < 0.0.005); while protective factors were being students (OR: 0.72, CI 95%: 0.53 to 0.96, p < 0.0029) and living in central Italy (OR: 0.46, CI 95%: 0.23 to 0.90, p < 0.002). The evaluation of social media and Internet use by the general population represents a first step for developing specific protective and supportive interventions for the general population, including practical suggestions on how to safely use Internet and social media.

“…Actually, some of the included studies raised ethical objections related to the use of these security measures (Nolan & Volavka, 2006; Stolovy et al, 2015; Tully et al, 2015), according to literature (Appenzeller et al, 2020). Moreover, the implementation of some technologies could lead to concerns about the violation of privacy or limitation of freedom (Greer et al, 2019; Morris, 2021; Simpson, 2022) and the legal system of some countries may not allow their use in healthcare. Furthermore, the cost of introducing some measures, as in the case of PAs which cost $160.000 (Emmerson et al, 2007), may not be affordable in all countries or hospitals.…”

“…Concerning mental health settings, some authors discussed the potential of security technologies and their related ethical implications (Appenzeller et al, 2020; Simpson, 2022; Wilson et al, 2022). However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reviews that summarize which security technologies are currently used in these settings and their effectiveness in maintaining and improving safety.…”

Violence in healthcare is an urgent and increasing issue. Mental health settings are particularly affected, with severe negative impacts on staff, patients, and organizations. Security technologies could help maintain and improve safety in this field. However, knowledge of their utilization and effectiveness in mental health is lacking. A scoping review was conducted using the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute to map research on the utilization and effects of security technologies in mental health, identify how research is currently performed, and highlight gaps in the existing knowledge. Literature search for peer‐reviewed publications was performed on PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Embase, and Scopus. Following the screening process and the eligibility criteria, 22 articles were included in this review. The publication range was 2002–2020, many studies were surveys, and European countries were the most investigated, especially the United Kingdom. Overall, the use of 10 different technologies was reported 46 times. The most represented category was alarms, followed by video cameras, other technologies (such as wearable sensors), and metal detectors. More than half of the included papers reported positive effects of these measures on safety. This review indicates that several security technologies are available in mental health settings, with encouraging positive safety outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals, especially nurses. However, research on the topic is still emerging, with a limited number of sources and a few high‐quality designed studies. Therefore, future research should focus on producing evidence on the availability and effectiveness of these measures in mental health settings across countries.
