“…The fact that the psychometric properties of the English EssenCES remained stable across such a diverse range of settings and that they are consistent with those reported in previous research (Howells et al, 2009;Schalast & Groenewald, 2009;Schalast et al, 2008) is strong evidence to support the validity of scores obtained using the English EssenCES.…”

“…An adapted version of the EssenCES that is suitable for use in German prison settings has also received validation with a sample of 271 participants from five prisons (Schalast & Groenewald, 2009). There was evidence for internal consistency (alphas ranged from .76 to .85), support for the proposed three-factor structure, and significant correlations between the EssenCES and the…”

The social climate of correctional (forensic) settings is likely to have a significant impact on the outcome of treatment and the overall functioning of these units. The Essen Climate Evaluation Schema (EssenCES) provides an objective way of measuring social climate that overcomes the content, length and psychometric limitations of other measures. But, the English translation of the EssenCES has yet to be sufficiently validated for use in forensic settings in the United Kingdom (UK). The current study presents psychometric properties (factor structure and internal consistency) and an examination of construct validity with the English EssenCES. Satisfactory internal consistency was found for all EssenCES scales and the expected three-factor structure was confirmed with both staff and residents and in prison and secure hospital settings using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Evidence to support construct validity was established using multi-level models, which showed statistically significant associations between scores on the EssenCES and scores on the Working Environment Scale (WES-10), institutional aggression, and site security. Future validation work and potential practical applications of the EssenCES are discussed.

Effect of Door-Locking Policy on Inpatient Treatment of Substance Use and Dual Disorders

et al. 2017

Objective: Substance use treatment is often performed inside locked wards. We investigate the effects of adopting a policy of open-door treatment for a substance use treatment and dual diagnosis ward. Methods: This is a prospective open-label study investigating 3-month study periods before opening (P1), immediately after (P2), and 1 year after the first period (P3). Data on committed patients, coercion (seclusion, forced medication, absconding events with subsequent police search), violence, and substance use was collected daily. We applied generalised estimating equation models. Results: The mean daily number of patients with ongoing commitment changed from 2.64 (P1) to 2.12 (P2) to 0.96 (P3), corresponding to a reduction of relative risk (RR) for having an ongoing commitment by 20% in P2 (RR 0.80; 95% CI 0.66-0.98) and 67% in P3 (RR 0.33; 95% CI 0.25-0.42). The mean daily number of coercive events was 0.29, 0.13, and 0.05, corresponding to a risk for undergoing coercive measures reduced by 56% (RR 0.44; 95% CI 0.22-0.90) and 85% (RR 0.15; 95% CI 0.05-0.45). Substance use, violence or ward atmosphere did not differ significantly. Conclusions: Our results support findings from general psychiatric wards of reduced coercion after adopting a primarily open-door policy. However, coercive events were rare during all periods. The widespread practice of restricting the freedom of inpatients with substance use disorders by locking ward doors is highly questionable.
