Key Features of Adolescent Inpatient Units and Development of a Checklist to Improve Consistency in Reporting of Settings.

INTRODUCTION
Adolescent inpatient units care for vulnerable population groups; however, little is known about how these essential services operate and deliver care.


AIMS
To examine the descriptions of adolescent mental health inpatient units in Australian and international research publications, to identify key features which were used to define them. A secondary aim was to develop a checklist to improve consistency when reporting on the operations and services delivered within adolescent mental health inpatient units (both public and private).


METHODS
Five electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, ERIC, EMBASE and PsycINFO) were systematically searched. We included studies that provided descriptions of operations and services within adolescent inpatient units where participants had a mean age between 12 and 25. Narrative synthesis was used to explore the similarities and differences between descriptions of settings.


RESULTS
Twenty-eight studies were identified, which varied in their descriptions of adolescent inpatient units, providing inconsistent information to inform best practice.


DISCUSSION
Studies lack consistency and comprehensive detail when describing the operational models within inpatient units, making interpretation challenging. Consequently, a preliminary checklist is proposed to improve reporting of adolescent inpatient units.
