Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main goal of this study is to evaluate if the Finnish version of eDASA+APP (electronic Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression + Aggression Prevention Protocol), a clinical decision support system (CDSS), has an impact on reducing workplace violence, use of coercive measures and increasing nurses' job satisfaction in adult psychiatric inpatient care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study includes three phases: 1) exploring attitudes of nurses and nurse managers towards validated tools, violence risk assessment and management, 2) a pre-implementation including a co-design process of the eDASA+APP to ensure optimal integration and adaptation to local context and integration into the local EPIC based EHR system together with relevant stakeholders (health care staff and expert-by-experience), and 3) a quasi-experimental implementation study to evaluate the impact of the intervention (eDASA+APP FI).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

eDASA+APP FI

Nurses in the study wards are using a CDSS 'eDASA+APP FI' in their daily clinical work to aid their short-term violence risk assessment and management, together with a patient if possible, to identify patients at elevated risk for violence in the coming 24 hours and to decrease (or maintain low) the risk with evidence-based, non-invasive nursing interventions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

eDASA+APP FI

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
