Background/Aims Increases in the complexity, severity and risk level of patients referred to child and adolescent mental health services has put considerable pressure on bed availability in adolescent psychiatric hospitals, resulting in lengthy admission processes. This study aimed to explore clinicians' experiences of the admission process and transition between community and inpatient care for adolescents, with a view to informing improvement, allowing appropriate, timely admission and discharge and achieving better outcomes. Methods Two questionnaires were developed by the authors to collect data on their experiences of the admissions and discharge process to and from psychiatric inpatient wards. One questionnaire was designed for community clinicians (14 items) and one for inpatient teams (nine items), all working under child and adolescent mental health services. The questionnaires were distributed, completed and returned by eligible staff across six NHS trusts. A combination of multiple-choice and open-ended questions were used. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data from the multiple-choice questions, while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data from the open-ended questions and generate themes. Results Quantitative analysis showed that over half (54.0%) of community clinicians who had been involved in requesting an admission for a young person had received no, minimal or sporadic updates about the progress of the referral. Delays to the bed finding process meant that over a third (35.5%) of these clinicians had felt forced to call for a Mental Health Act assessment for a young person. Five themes were generated from the qualitative data: communication; issues with the admissions process (particularly with Form 1); benefits and drawbacks of technology; bed finding processes; and the importance of Form 1 for inpatient teams. Conclusions There is scope for improvement in the admissions process. Measures may include modifications to Form 1, holding regular meetings between community and inpatient teams, creating clearer bed finding and management processes and developing strategies for better risk management in the community while a young person waits for an inpatient bed.

Background/Aims The quality of nurses' work is integral to the success of healthcare systems. Job satisfaction and work engagement contribute to nurses' ability to be efficient and effective. The nature of their work means that nurses are likely to experience psychological distress, which might affect their job satisfaction and work engagement. This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological distress experienced by nurses at work, job satisfaction and work engagement in the United Arab Emirates. Methods An online, cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study was conducted from August–December 2022. Work engagement was assessed using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, while stress, anxiety and depression were measured using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, Cronbach's alpha and multiple regression analysis, all performed using IBM SPSS version 27. Results The study recruited a total of 316 nurses. The mean job satisfaction score was 15.17±2.89 (moderately satisfied) and the mean work engagement score was 4.67±1.03 (highly engaged). A significant positive correlation was found between job satisfaction and work engagement. Prevalence rates for stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia were 11%, 35.5%, 31.6% and 49.4% respectively. Both job satisfaction and work engagement were negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. The regression model explained 57.2% of job satisfaction variance and 54.0% of work engagement variance. Conclusions This study highlights the importance of job satisfaction and work engagement in reducing psychological distress among nurses. Further interventions to enhance these factors may improve mental health outcomes in this population.
