摘要

Background Incidents of violence, self-harm and security are of concern in psychi-atric hospitals with regard to both patient and staff welfare.Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency and nature of incidentsin all directorates in a high-security psychiatric hospital.Methods Data were collected from the hospital's incident recording forms for theperiod 1 June 2007 to 30 September 2008.Results In total, 5658 incidents were recorded, almost all patients (95%) having beeninvolved in at least one incident. Most incidents, however, were in the categories ofless serious violence and self-harm. The rate was 0.89 incidents per patient per month.The women's directorate had a significantly higher frequency of violent or self-harmincidents than the other directorates (male mental health, learning disability, personal-ity disorder or dangerous and severe personality disorder). Violence was almost equallyagainst fellow patients or staff. It was commonest in communal areas during day-timehours. Self-harm was most likely in a patient's own room.Conclusions and implications for practice These findings can inform preventionand management of violence and self-harm. Dealing with such a large number ofincidents is time consuming, even if they are not especially serious. Attention to envi-ronmental, as well as individual, issues is recommended.
