The Effectiveness of Interventions for Mental Health Patients in the Emergency Department

The Research to Practice column is intended to improve the research critique skills of the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and the emergency nurse (RN) and to assist with the translation of research into practice. A topic and a research study are selected for each column. A patient scenario is presented as a vehicle, in which to review and critique, the findings of the selected research study. In this column, we review the conclusions of Gabet, M., et al. in the article on the Effectiveness of emergency department–based interventions for frequent users with mental health issues: A systematic review.
