SHINE: Safety Care Bundle
Health Foundation Funded Project £72,000

The problem
• Acute inpatient units are complex and challenging
environments
• As community services have expanded the severity
of problems has increased.
• 78% of nurses and 37% users report being subject to
violence or threats (Chaplin et al 2006).
• The Care Quality Commission report that 55% of
mental health inpatients do not always feel safe and
16% do not feel safe at all.
Effects on services: morale & performance
• These stressors have an effect on the morale
and performance of staff.
• NHS staff have relatively high levels of
sickness absence:
• 10.7 days a year,
• - compared to
• 9.7 in public sector,
• 6.4 days in private sector.

Percentage of workers
Staff sickness
Sickness absence rate* is high for mental health staff –
5.24% compared with 4.48% for the NHS (2005 data).
Sickness rate ranges across different mental health trusts
(1.95% – 6.91%) indicate that factors affecting sickness
absence, e.g.
staff injury rates,
stress levels,
job satisfaction,
- are amenable to interventions.
* dividing the total number of sickness absence days by the total number of available days
Setting: Llanfair Unit
•410 incident reports of
aggressive or violent
behaviour.
•11 incidents resulting in 3 or
more days of work.
•1 incident more that 6 months
leading to a cost of approx
£42,000
• Currently average sickness
cost are £119,352.
•Indirect costs through
increased length of stay,
medication use and one to one
nursing.
The Intervention
• There is evidence that a structured risk
assessment process carried out twice a day
for the first three days of admission reduce
incidence of violence and aggression
(Abderhalden et al, 2008)
The Intervention
• A tool and process were developed to
systematically assess risk for all admissions
• This was accompanied by ward based
teaching and the use of safety briefings
Evaluation questions and measures
Is the care bundle associated with
changes in:
•
•
Patient safety incidents (incident reports major, minor, severe; absconding) &
management of risk (special observations;
forcible medication; patient restraint; patient
seclusion; patient).
% of individual patients/ no. episodes;
Evaluation questions
Bank & agency staffing.
• Weekly spend; excess in relation to ward
staffing budget.
Staff morale & staff sickness
• MBI - cross-sectional data, 2 time-points;
• Number of full-time equivalent staff days lost
to sickness absence; % staff members with
sickness absence >7,10, 14, 21 days
Evaluation questions
Is the care bundle feasible & acceptable in
routine practice?
•
•
Staff interviews (semi-structured
quantitative/qualitative interviews with nursing staff
to examine understanding & satisfaction with
intervention package).
Patient questionnaires at discharge [questions
adapted from NHS Mental Health Acute Inpatient
Service Users Survey Questionnaire (NHS, 2008)].
Stepped Wedge Design
Preliminary findings: Burnout and incidents
• Sixty seven completed MBI questionnaires
were returned 72% completion (n=92)
• There were no statistical difference between
the wards on the measure of burnout.
• However higher scores for exhaustion and
cynicism were evident on the ward with the
highest number of incidents (116 over
12-months).
Preliminary findings: Burnout and incidents
• Male staff were reported more cynical attitudes than
their female colleagues, this was a statistically
significant difference: Independent samples t-test: t
(65)=1.591, P=0.04.
• Male respondents recorded slightly higher
exhaustion and slightly less professional efficacy.
• Band 3 and 4 staff reported highest levels of burnout
(cynicism and exhaustion).
• Regression analysis indicates that staff grade has a
significant influence on cynicism responses when
other variables are accounted for.

James a fifty five year old man is on the third day of his
admission. he has been admitted for low mood. He
was transfered from recovery following carbon
monoxide poisoning. During the assessment period
he has asked several times what day it is, and when
can he go home. Another patient complained that
James was in his room and would not leave saying it
was his room. This led to James shouting "get out or
you'll get some" and clenched his fist at him.
Martin a twenty one year old man is admitted to the ward from
the crisis team. He feels that God is inside him and that he
has the ability to help save lives. He hears the voice of God
telling him to 'go and save people'.
Over the past hour Martin has been in and out of his room 7
times and in and out of the office 6 times. He is chain smoking
and walking around the ward sitting for 30seconds before
getting up. He does not have conversation but walks up to
people and says loudly 'why am I here' 'you are wrong' 'you
are bad people'. Twice he shouts 'bastards' towards the office
door and once hits a table.
