The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend psychological therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), for severe mental health problems. People may benefit from psychological therapies on inpatient wards, but they are rarely offered them (Care Quality Commission, 2009).<\/p>\n

Between 2014 and 2015, 103,840 people with severe mental health problems spent time as inpatients because they were at risk of harming themselves or others (Health and Social Care Information Centre, 2015).<\/p>\n
Mental health trusts prioritise spending money for therapy on outpatient services but ward staff often think that inpatients are \u2018too unwell\u2019 to benefit from talking-based treatments like psychological therapy, so don\u2019t refer them.<\/p>\n
Therapy needs to be delivered differently in inpatient settings compared to the community due to the different nature of the setting and patients\u2019 thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n

The overall aim of the project was to increase access to psychological therapy on mental health inpatient wards.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text: Project aims content” _builder_version=”3.8.1″]<\/p>\n
In the first part of this project we worked alongside people who accessed inpatient mental health services and other key people, such as staff who work on wards, to adapt existing psychological therapy for inpatient settings. We did this by:<\/p>\n
\n- Reviewing previous research on what helps and prevents access to therapy on inpatient wards.<\/li>\n
- Interviewing patients, their carers, relatives, and staff working on wards about how they think we need to deliver therapy in inpatient settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We also tested different ways of delivering therapy and asked people’s opinions about what works.<\/p>\n
Finally, we gathered all this information together and asked experts, including experts by experience (people who have lived experience of having been on an inpatient ward), to use this information to help us design a therapeutic model that will improve access to therapy, management of individual mental health conditions, and help inform recovery based on a person’s needs.<\/p>\n
In the next part of this research project, we tested the model of therapy in 34 wards across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.<\/p>\n

\n- We received NHS approval to start interviewing patients, their carers\/relatives and staff working on wards.<\/li>\n
- We received approval to start our literature review.<\/li>\n
- We interviewed 38 people (14 staff members, 12 patients and 12 carers) about their views on what stops and helps people access psychological therapy on acute mental health wards.<\/li>\n
- We had initial findings from our interviews and literature review.<\/li>\n
- We had a mini consensus conference to decide what the therapeutic model should look like based on our findings from the interviews and review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n- We ran a pilot of the therapeutic model on two wards. One ward was in Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, one ward was in Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. The pilot involved two half time clinical psychologist (one on each ward) who delivered our therapeutic model. We collected information about the number of serious incidents that occurred on the ward during this time, as well as gathering information on patient and staff well-being and conducting interviews with staff and patients.<\/li>\n
- We interviewed 22 more people (12 staff members and 10 patients).<\/li>\n
- We gained ethical approval for the main trial.<\/li>\n
- We started the main trial in October at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n- The main research trial continued in Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.<\/li>\n
- Due to COVID-19 and the outbreak on various wards, the study was paused for 4 and a half months (from mid-March – August 2020). This included pausing face-to-face research activity.<\/li>\n
- Despite this, we sought ethics approval for several ethical amendments to continue research activity remotely e.g. recruitment and follow ups conducted via the telephone and MS Teams.<\/li>\n
- Despite the challenges in 2020, when we met with our Trial Steering Committee (TSC) in November 2020 for our Stop and Go criteria review we had met all planned targets and the research continued as planned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n- We completed recruitment for our main trial: 490 staff members and 309 service users, which is very close to our targets.<\/span><\/li>\n
- We\u00a0recruited 252 further service users at the 6-months follow up to complete our primary outcome measure.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Follow up data collection was also completed.\u00a0\u00a0At the\u00a06 months follow-up<\/u>: 85% of the recruited staff members completed the measures and 70% of the service users. At the\u00a09-months follow-up<\/u>\u00a079% of the recruited staff members completed the measures and 70% of the service users.<\/span><\/li>\n
- \n
Furthermore, we recruited participants to take part in interviews and observational studies evaluating the intervention in more depth. In total, 112 staff members and 56 service users consented to take part in the observational studies, and we interviewed 32 staff members as well as 31 service users.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
We also received all serious incidents reports that were made on each of the 34 included wards during the study period of 12 months, approximately 15 000 reports. Our study team classified each of these reports with respect to the harm and intervention level of the reported incident.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

We also tested different ways of delivering therapy and asked people’s opinions about what works.<\/p>\n
Finally, we gathered all this information together and asked experts, including experts by experience (people who have lived experience of having been on an inpatient ward), to use this information to help us design a therapeutic model that will improve access to therapy, management of individual mental health conditions, and help inform recovery based on a person’s needs.<\/p>\n
In the next part of this research project, we tested the model of therapy in 34 wards across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we recruited participants to take part in interviews and observational studies evaluating the intervention in more depth. In total, 112 staff members and 56 service users consented to take part in the observational studies, and we interviewed 32 staff members as well as 31 service users.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
