N2  - A cohort of nurses and prison officers working in regional secure units, special hospitals and prisons were surveyed to establish their attitudes about observation policies designed to prevent patients/inmates from committing suicide. The results suggest that policies are rarely, if ever, reviewed, although there appear to be differences of emphasis in the three environments. Recommendations of the study include the need for improved staff communication, regular review of policies and better preparation of personnel.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
