This study demonstrates the use of the interRAI assessment instruments to examine mental health symptoms in children and adults within residential and in-patient care settings. Regardless of service setting, children exhibited more harm to self and others than adults. Children in adult in-patient beds were more likely to exhibit suicide and self-harm and less likely to exhibit harm to others compared to children in child-specific service settings. Implications related to service system improvements are discussed.
本研究展示了使用 interRAI 评估工具来检查住宿和住院护理环境中的儿童和成人的心理健康症状。无论服务环境如何，儿童表现出的对自身和他人的伤害都比成人更多。与儿童专用服务环境中的儿童相比，在成人住院床位的儿童更有可能表现出自杀和自我伤害行为，而对他人造成伤害的可能性较小。文中还讨论了与服务系统改进相关的影响。
