Increasing numbers of children and young people with mental health problems are being cared for in general paediatric settings, presenting a challenge to nurses who do not have mental health nursing qualification and experience. A survey of nurses in a children's hospital identified their concerns and attitudes to caring for this client group. On-call nursing support was felt by almost all nurses (87 per cent, n=90) to be the most beneficial aspect of a liaison service, followed by teaching (84 per cent) and individual support with the young person/family (84 per cent). Based on the findings, a project was initiated to improve nursing liaison with CAMHS nurses providing support and advice to general children's nurses. Effective liaison between general paediatric wards and child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) can improve care for children and young people with diagnosed mental health problems. However, there is still a gap in addressing the need of the significant numbers of children with physical illness who also have mental health needs.
越来越多有心理健康问题的儿童和年轻人在普通儿科环境中接受护理，这给没有心理健康护理资质和经验的护士带来了挑战。一家儿童医院对护士进行的一项调查确定了他们对护理这一客户群体的担忧和态度。几乎所有护士（87%，n = 90）都认为随叫随到的护理支持是联络服务最有益的方面，其次是教学（84%）和为年轻人/家庭提供的个人支持（84%）。基于这些发现，启动了一个项目，以改善普通儿科护士与儿童及青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）护士之间的护理联络，CAMHS护士为普通儿科护士提供支持和建议。普通儿科病房与儿童及青少年心理健康服务（CAMHS）之间的有效联络可以改善对已确诊有心理健康问题儿童和年轻人的护理。然而，在满足大量既有身体疾病又有心理健康需求儿童的需求方面仍存在差距。
