About the project<\/h2>\n
We know that working on acute mental health inpatient wards can be stressful, and that staff experience violence and verbal abuse, and see patients harming themselves. Staff have also told us that racism, homophobia and abuse targeting disabilities happens a lot.<\/p>\n
![\"Staff](\"https:\/\/sites.manchester.ac.uk\/staff-time\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/444\/2023\/12\/staff-time-logo.png\"){kind=logo}
Our experiences and research have told us that staff are not getting the support that they need. People from minoritised groups experience particular difficulties when seeking support.<\/p>\n
The Staff TIME project aims to find out what is helpful or unhelpful when seeking support by carrying out interviews with members of staff. This will help us collect information about your experiences on acute inpatient wards and with staff support, and any suggestions you may have to improve staff support.<\/p>\n
At the end of the study, we will use the information from the interviews to make recommendations for how mental health wards can reduce the impact of workplace trauma and increase access to support for all staff. These recommendations will be tested in a future study.<\/p>\n

We tried to make sure we also had representation from staff groups who we know had extra difficulty accessing support, including:<\/p>\n 77% of the staff members we interviewed identified with at least one protected characteristic. We also made sure to recruit a variety of different clinical professions, age groups and genders.<\/p>\n 10 senior stakeholders were interviewed from across the country. These were individuals who had a variety of different experience that could help us understand how best to implement staff support on the wars.<\/p>\n This included staff who had experience developing and implementing national policy, providing staff support on acute mental health wards or were equity, diversity and inclusion specialists.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Spacing \/ back to top” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n < Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: Ward orderly” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: Male nurse” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” make_equal=”off” custom_padding=”3em||0.5em|” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Spacing only” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: Our results” _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n We held a stakeholder event where we shared our initial findings and discussed strategies for implementing some of the recommendations.<\/p>\n Over 45 people attended the event, including representatives from:<\/p>\n They helped us to consider the interview findings and what can be changed in the future to better support staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n We have produced a report.
