About
Prevalence of anxiety and depression in the general population is known, but is under researched in the acute hospital setting and there is little evidence on the prevalence of anxiety and depression within the emergency medical admission population. A potential intervention for treating such mental health prevalence would be in the form of IAPT methodology which has been utilised in other parts of the NHS demonstrating good outcomes. Therefore, this feasibility study will explore the utility of IAPT in the acute setting.
This study will explore the prevalence of anxiety and depression in the emergency medical population within medical inpatient wards , utilising the assessment tools adopted by the IAPT services and explained in detail below.
The study will explore a) feasibility of introducing psychological intervention to an emergency medical ward and b) provide preliminary data on the outcome of this intervention on hospital length of stay and readmission rates.
