Introduction

IDEA project is the outcome of Association for the Improvement of Mental Health programme and coordinated at Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London.

Aims

Are to explore experience of people treated in a mental health setting across nations, determine how inpatient experiences can be improved. Experience gained from interviews will be used to propose questionnaire for routine use, develop versions of interview for other services, inform a possible follow-up study.

Methods

30 consecutive patients are interviewed on day of discharge in own language. Semi-structured interview covers physical condition in institutions, experiences of treatments like medication, satisfaction with staff, privacy, dignity and whether rights were respected. Responses are summarized on several visual analogue scales and quantitative analysis were performed. The scale was also be analysed by demographic indices within centres to see whether different groups have different experiences.

Qualitative responses were analysed thematically, both within and between centres, identifying core themes for each domain and core themes for the protocol as a whole.

Results

10 countries are participating, 577 interviews are completed. We followed on visual analogue scale the degree patients felt their stay was beneficial, degree of satisfaction with staff, perceived harm in the hospital, if the right to confidentiality was respected, if individual rights and preferences were respected.

Conclusion

It will be a better understanding of the size, structure and staffing of the institutions included in the study, which will help us with our observations about inpatient experiences by putting them in context and make recommendations to institutions.
