Improving the culture of safety on a high- acuity inpatient child/adolescent psychiatric unit by mindfulness- based stress reduction training of staff. Two instruments were utilized in the study: the Toronto Mindfulness Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale. FINDINGS: The MBSR program reduced staff stress across the 2- month post- training period and increased staff mindfulness immediately following the brief training period of 8 days, and across the 2- month post- training period. A trend toward positive impact on patient and staff safety was also seen in a decreased number of staff call- ins, decreased need for 1: 1 staffing episodes, and decreased restraint use 2 months following the training period. CONCLUSIONS: A brief MBSR training program offered to an interprofessional staff of a high- acuity inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit was effective in decreasing their stress, increasing their mindfulness, and improving staff and patient safety.
