Trata-se de análise da prática no contexto de enfermaria psiquiátrica em hospital geral. Discute-se a internação breve para a atenção psicossocial, em estratégias de produção de sentido, e o potencial da terapia ocupacional à luz do Método Terapia Ocupacional Dinâmica. Destacam-se os procedimentos em terapia ocupacional na análise dos movimentos dinâmicos da relação triádica, instigando a realização de atividades, o reconhecimento de si, a instauração do desejo da construção de uma nova história -- elemento significativo para avaliar a alta em contextos de curto prazo. Espera-se ampliar reflexões sobre a assistência em terapia ocupacional nas internações hospitalares breves em saúde mental.This is a practice analysis report on a psychiatric ward in the general university hospital. Short hospitalization is discussed as psychosocial care strategy, focusing on strategies of  making-meaning and occupational therapy potentials in the light of  Dynamic Occupational Therapy Method. We emphasize occupational therapist procedures for triadic relationship dynamic movements analysis, seeking to enable the individual engaging in activities, self-recognition , establishing the desire for a new history - a significant element to think about the discharge in contexts of short term care. It is hoped that this paper improves reflections about the assistance in occupational therapy on short mental health  hospitalizations.Keywords: Crisis intervention; Mental health; Occupational therapy.Se trata de análisis de la práctica en el contexto de enfermería psiquiátrica en el hospital general.

AimsWith the advent of the COVID-19 Pandemic the NHS long term Plan commitments of January 2019 to improve crisis care nationwide became all the more pressing. The aim of this study was to thematically investigate what mental health crisis presentations might be diverted from the Emergency department to external crisis hubs in order to reduce the COVID-19 contamination risks.MethodAll referrals made to the Homerton University Hospital (HUH) mental health liaison service were looked at between 1/3/20-11/6/20 (n = 846), coinciding with the first peak of the COVID-19 Pandemic.Referral data was anonymised and sorted independently into naturally emerging thematic classes by two junior liaison doctors.Cases that did not clearly fit any of the 14 themes generated were further looked into to determine outcome of referral and discussed to try and match to an appropriate class.Result14 frequent themes for mental health crisis referrals were identified. The distribution of these ranged from most common (suicidality) to neurocognitive presentation and identified shifts in themes over the course of the pandemic peak such as increases of low mood, anxiety and intoxication requiring medical attention over the three month period.ConclusionAlthough themes for presentations may be identified in acute referrals to mental health liaison services it is problematic determining how these may be parsed safely to crisis hubs without risking overlooking cases that may require medical attention. The most common theme that was identified and remained throughout the first wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic was acute suicidal presentation. The remaining themes would require careful consideration around risk thresholds for what a service may wish to accept in devolving the emergency department liaison and balance these against future risks of repeat COVID-19 waves.

This report examines police-public encounters that resulted in the fatal shooting of civilians during 2015 and 2016. How police contact was initiated varies by race/ethnicity, age, sex, mental health status, and whether (or how) the individual killed by police was armed with a weapon. This crucial information sheds further light on fatal police shootings.
