| Abstract | Introduction: There are limited therapeutic occupational and psychological interventions provided to inpatients in mental health units. This can be because of a lack of resources or limited staffing causing occupational deprivation and limited cognitive stimulation. Objective: This study aimed to explore multi-disciplinary staff's perceptions of the barriers and facilitators of leisure activity offered in inpatient units. Method: A total of 45 participants completed an online anonymous survey through Survey Monkey which explored current barriers and activities offered within mental health inpatient units they currently service. Surveys were analysed through a combination of descriptive analysis and qualitative content analysis. Results: Most participants (97%) described a lack of meaningful occupation offered to consumers. Consumers that are inpatients are typically found bored and traditional activities such as arts or crafts were the main activities offered. Some of the issues identified by staff included a lack of/availability of staff, priorities during shift, ‘staff willingness to engage with consumers’, staff within the multidisciplinary team's lack of understanding of each other's roles and splitting behaviours with consumers. Low staff morale and lack of collegiality within the workplace environment were suggested as an ongoing barrier. Conclusion: Participants were predominately occupational therapists who suggested that there is a need for the entire multi-disciplinary team to facilitate purposeful activity in an inpatient unit. Participants suggested that a large proportion of activities offered are traditional arts and crafts which are typically not matched to the interests of consumers. |
