At a time when there has been a reduction in mental health resources nationwide, the incidence of mental health disorders in children has seen a dramatic increase for many reasons.
A review of the literature was done to identify the epidemiology, barriers to care, useful emergency department (ED) screening methods, and resources regarding pediatric mental health disorders in the ED.
Although there are many challenges to the provision of care for children with mental health emergencies, some resources are available. Furthermore, ED screening and intervention may be effective in improving patient outcomes.
Collaborative efforts with multidisciplinary services can create a continuum of care, promote better identification of children and adolescents with mental health disorders, and promote early recognition and intervention, which are key to effective referral and treatment.
在全国心理健康资源减少之际,儿童心理健康障碍的发病率因多种原因急剧上升。
对文献进行综述,以确定急诊科(ED)中儿童心理健康障碍的流行病学、护理障碍、有用的急诊科筛查方法及相关资源。
尽管为有心理健康紧急情况的儿童提供护理存在诸多挑战,但仍有一些可用资源。此外,急诊科筛查和干预可能有助于改善患者预后。
与多学科服务的协作努力可建立连续的护理体系,促进更好地识别患有心理健康障碍的儿童和青少年,并促进早期识别和干预,这是有效转诊和治疗的关键。
