Abstract
Introduction
Psychiatric emergencies are acute mental health, behavioral, and social disorder that require immediate intervention. The major role of psychiatric emergency services is to provide mental health services for eligible patients. The aim of this study was to design a minimum data set (MDS) for emergency psychiatry.
Methods
A comprehensive Grey Literature review was conducted in Iran, US, Australia, and England to identify sets of data elements for psychiatric emergencies in April 2019. Three psychiatric MSDs, two psychiatric emergencies guidelines, and five psychiatric record forms were identified. Then, the identified data elements were extracted and categorized. The face validity was assessed by an expert panel. The content validity of set of data elements and the clinical importance of data elements of the emergency psychiatry were evaluated. Data elements which received a score of 4–5 from 79% of the specialists were remained in the study.
Results
Out of a total of 93 identified data elements, 53 were considered as essential data element for MDS of emergency psychiatry. The data elements were categorized as follows groups: Sociodemographic data, psychiatric history, family psychiatric history, medical history, mental health/ psychiatric status, suicidal risk and harm risk for others, and diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusions
