Self harm is a major public health concern, yet there are considerable challenges in providing support for those who self harm within psychiatric inpatient services. This paper presents the first review of research into self harm within inpatient settings. Searches of the main electronic databases were conducted using key words for self harm and inpatient care. There was substantial variation in the rates of self-harm and attempted suicide between studies, but rates were highest on forensic wards. There was no evidence of differences in prevalence of self-harm between men and women; women, however, were at increased risk of attempting suicide. People were more likely to self-harm in private areas of the ward and in the evening hours, and often self-harmed in response to psychological distress, or elements of nursing care that restricted their freedom. Wards used a variety of strategies to prevent self-harm; however, there is little research into their effectiveness.

“…This was demonstrated by the increased risk in recidivism from noncompletion of interventions. The absence of outcome studies that target common clinical features of the high secure population (Jackson, 2000;Scott, 2004) also highlights a shortage of research evidence for intervening with specific complex needs and that this warrants attention.…”

High secure forensic inpatient hospitals serve important functions in the detention and rehabilitation of people with serious mental health needs who present as a risk to society.Establishing whether services are effective in restoring mental health and reducing risk is an important task, but one that has not been systematically undertaken. A systematic review of outcome evidence from this setting was therefore conducted to establish its scope and quality.Evidence was found from twenty-two studies for nine different interventions targeting multiple and overlapping outcomes, which included recidivism, mental health, aggression, social functioning and quality of life. Studies were commonly assessed as being at a potentially high risk of bias from validity threats. The 'best' available evidence was for medication, psychoeducation and third-wave cognitive-behavioural interventions. Clinical implications are tentatively offered given the narrow focus of the review on high security. Directions for the high secure services research agenda are more definitively proposed.

“…A study conducted at Rampton Hospital found that male patients who engaged in deliberate self-harm were significantly younger than those who did not (Jackson, 2000). Previous self-harm (e.g., Haw, Bergen, Casey, & Hawton, 2007), recent adverse life events (Hunt et al, 2007), mood fluctuation (Sampson, Mukherjee, Ukoumunne, Mullan, & Bullock, 2004), a co-morbid psychiatric disorder (Hunt et al, 2007), and a PCL-R (Hare, 1991) total of 30 or above (Young, Justice, & Erdberg, 2006) have been shown to be associated with self-harm.…”
