“…Five studies focused on adverse events, and examined: antipsychotics side effects,340 how best to manage the effect of psychotropics on long QT segments,341 antidepressants342 and medication error reporting 343 344. Three studies investigated errors occurring in broader medication management processes345–347 and a further five studies focused on medication administration specifically 348–352. The only intervention study aiming to reduce these errors found that a new medication dispensing system did not have any significant impact on patient safety 353.…”

ObjectivesPatients in inpatient mental health settings face similar risks (eg, medication errors) to those in other areas of healthcare. In addition, some unsafe behaviours associated with serious mental health problems (eg, self-harm), and the measures taken to address these (eg, restraint), may result in further risks to patient safety. The objective of this review is to identify and synthesise the literature on patient safety within inpatient mental health settings using robust systematic methodology.DesignSystematic review and meta-synthesis. Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Health Management Information Consortium, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science were systematically searched from 1999 to 2019. Search terms were related to ‘mental health’, ‘patient safety’, ‘inpatient setting’ and ‘research’. Study quality was assessed using the Hawker checklist. Data were extracted and grouped based on study focus and outcome. Safety incidents were meta-analysed where possible using a random-effects model.ResultsOf the 57 637 article titles and abstracts, 364 met inclusion criteria. Included publications came from 31 countries and included data from over 150 000 participants. Study quality varied and statistical heterogeneity was high. Ten research categories were identified: interpersonal violence, coercive interventions, safety culture, harm to self, safety of the physical environment, medication safety, unauthorised leave, clinical decision making, falls and infection prevention and control.ConclusionsPatient safety in inpatient mental health settings is under-researched in comparison to other non-mental health inpatient settings. Findings demonstrate that inpatient mental health settings pose unique challenges for patient safety, which require investment in research, policy development, and translation into clinical practice.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42016034057.

“…Previous research has indicated that understanding nursing perceptions about their healthcare practice could improve the care nurses provide to their patients (Xie et al, 2019). This understanding is important because it can guide nursing practice (Yous et al, 2019).…”

What is known on the subject?• There are many international studies on CRHTTs; however, there has been little research on nurses' experiences of working with CRHTTs.• Earlier studies focused on the nurses' gatekeeping role but did not explore nurses' perception of care as a construct. What does the paper add to existing knowledge?• This study provides information based on mental health nurses' experiences. It explains the home environment, the therapeutic relationship and the process of mental health nursing care during a crisis. Also, the study explains nurses' satisfaction with care provided at patients' home.• Unlike other studies, this study focused on nurses' experiences while providing care, rather than on nurses' general responsibilities and the services they provide.This study is the first of its kind in Spain with such a focus. What are the implications for practice?• Acknowledging nurses' experiences and their perspectives about the care they provide could help shift mental health nursing paradigms from those based on biomedical models to newer perspectives found in recovery models. Furthermore, this knowledge could improve the quality of care in mental health settings due to its potential to guide nursing practices.• Raising mental health care providers' awareness of mental health nurses' personal and professional care constructs would help implement support systems to meet the professional's needs. Meeting the needs of nurses related to the care they provide is likely to impact patient care positively.
