Characteristics of children and adolescents with recurrent mental health emergency visits and clinicians' intervention tendencies. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Mental disorders impact about 15%-20% of children, yet many do not receive adequate mental health care, making psychiatric emergency services crucial for treatment.
  • The study analyzed data from 785 patients aged 0-18 who visited a psychiatric emergency department over a year, categorizing them as either single or repeated applicants based on their number of visits.
  • Findings revealed that recurrent applicants exhibited higher instances of non-suicidal self-injury, psychotic disorders, and major depression, suggesting specific risk factors that contribute to multiple emergency admissions and indicating a need for tailored community resources.

Article Abstract

Aim: Mental disorders affect approximately 15%-20% of childhood. However, due to various factors, these individuals do not benefit sufficiently from mental health services. Therefore, psychiatry emergency services become a key system in the need of psychiatric care for these children. This study aims to reveal the factors that predict recurrent admissions in children and adolescents admitted to the emergency department of a psychiatric hospital and the tendencies of clinicians during management.

Methods: In our study, the data of patients aged 0-18 years who applied to the emergency department between 1 March 2022 and 01 March 2023 were scanned retrospectively. Participants who applied once were included in the 'single applicant' group, whereas patients who applied two or more times were included in the 'repeated applicants' group.

Results: A total of 1563 emergency applications were recorded by 785 different patients. A total of 62.2% of the patients visited the emergency department once, while 37.8% applied two or more times. Non-suicidal self-injury, delusion/hallucination, irritability and depression were significantly higher in recurrent applicants (P < 0.05). Psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression and borderline personality traits were significantly frequent in these patients (P < 0.05). Additionally, it was determined that the number of psychiatric diagnoses, referral time, need for chemical restraint, having a diagnosis of psychotic disorder or borderline personality traits increased the likelihood of recurrence.

Conclusions: Our results indicate some special risk factors that increase the likelihood of recurrent emergency admissions in children and adolescents. Further research with larger sample sizes may elucidate the unique needs of these children in order to use of community resources beneficially.
