PURPOSE
This article describes the experience of establishing a new parent and baby mental health unit, including challenges in the first year of operation. The article aims to narrate the experience for the purpose of informing other new mental health services and contributing to service development knowledge.
DESCRIPTION
The analogy of the early infancy period is used to highlight the parallel process of adjustment, confidence and identity formation occurring as part of the unit development and by the parents who are admitted.
ASSESSMENT
Key challenges are presented as "We had a baby and moved house at the same time", "We had a baby with someone we just met", "We had ghosts in our communal nursery" and "We were juggling the baby and the bathwater".
CONCLUSION
The establishment of a new unit provides an opportunity to reflect on the complexity of building workforce, service and clinical capacity within the constraints of public health services. The challenges along the way have helped to build empathy for the experiences of the admitted parents who equally find that things have not gone how they have planned, while finding emerging opportunities for growth, resilience and change.
目的
本文描述了建立一个新的母婴心理健康科室的经历，包括运营第一年所面临的挑战。本文旨在叙述这段经历，以便为其他新的心理健康服务提供信息，并为服务发展知识做出贡献。
描述
运用婴儿早期阶段的类比，以突出作为科室发展一部分以及入院父母所经历的调整、信心和身份形成的平行过程。
评估
关键挑战被表述为“我们同时迎来了一个婴儿并搬了家”、“我们和刚认识的人一起迎来了一个婴儿”、“我们的公共托儿所里有鬼”以及“我们在兼顾婴儿和倒掉的洗澡水”。
结论
新科室的建立提供了一个契机，可借此反思在公共卫生服务的限制条件下构建员工队伍、服务和临床能力的复杂性。一路走来的这些挑战有助于增强对入院父母经历的同理心，他们同样发现事情并未按计划发展，同时也找到了成长、恢复力和改变的新机会。
