A brief history.. • Debrief has historically meant different things. • Usually led by a therapist/psychologist trained in this area • Time – significant limitation • However, there is a difference between debrief and defusing approaches • Models can help us understand the need • TIC, stress-vulnerability, theories from disaster work

Defusing.. • The term was introduced in 1983 (Mitchell & Everly) • Idea that a dangerous or difficult situation can be made ‘harmless’ • Evidence to suggest that larger debrief approach too close to event can cause harm – Trauma processing. • Goals • Rapid reduction of intense emotions • Normalising the experience • Empowerment and sense of mastery • Eliminate the need for debrief, enhance effectiveness of debrief

Rapid reflection staff tool The tool should take no longer than 3 minutes. All staff involved should take part in the rapid reflection, with 1 member staff acting as the reflection facilitator • Are we all ok and safe? • Is there anything we would do differently next time? • What went well?
Rapid Reflection Tool – Service Users • Are you feeling ok and Safe? • What can we do to help you feel safe? (Asked immediately following restrictive intervention) Questions to be asked within 24 hours (or as soon as possible/appropriate) • Do you understand why staff needed to use restrictive interventions? • What could we have done to support you better? • Is there anything you would do differently next time? Offer the opportunity to make a written account
Rapid Reflection Pilot • 1 ward from Each Clinical Speciality • Pilot Period from January 1st – February 14th 2017 • Services reported between 3 -100 % Compliance • Positive Feedback for use of the staff tool • Limited use of Patient tool, further work to identify more effective use • Gradual introduction Trust wide from May 1st 2017
