Mental Health Crisis Training for Police, Firefighters, and Public Health Staff

5. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: Hua Ho, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital

Evaluating Mental Health Crisis Training Outcomes Among Police, Firefighters, and Public Health Staff

This study evaluated whether a mental health crisis response training course improved the knowledge, confidence, and attitudes of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and public health staff who may encounter people experiencing mental health or substance use crises.

Participants attended a four-hour training course covering mental health laws, recognition and assessment of behavioral emergencies, crisis identification, the escalation of violent behavior, communication, and de-escalation techniques. Participants voluntarily completed an online questionnaire immediately before and after the course.

The study compared participants' responses before and after training to determine whether the course improved their understanding of mental health crises, confidence in responding to these situations, and attitudes toward people with mental health conditions or substance use problems.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

This was an observational, single-group pre-post study conducted among personnel attending a mental health crisis response training program organized in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Eligible attendees included police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, public health personnel, and other frontline staff involved in responding to mental health or behavioral emergencies. Participation in the research questionnaires was voluntary and was separate from participation in the training course. The study did not assign participants to receive the training or to a comparison group.

Before the course, participants who agreed to participate scanned a QR code and completed an online 32-item questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed knowledge and understanding of mental health crises, perceived confidence and self-efficacy in responding to behavioral emergencies, attitudes toward people with mental health conditions, and attitudes toward people with substance use problems.

The four-hour course included mental health legislation, initial and secondary assessment of behavioral emergencies, identification of mental health crises, recognition of the escalation of potentially violent behavior, personal and scene safety, communication strategies, and verbal de-escalation techniques. Immediately after completing the course, participants completed the corresponding online post-training questionnaire.

No personally identifying information was collected. Pre-training and post-training responses were compared to evaluate changes associated with participation in the course. Analyses included descriptive statistics and appropriate comparisons of pre-training and post-training measures according to the distribution and measurement level of each variable. Additional analyses examined whether participant characteristics were associated with training outcomes.

Zeitfenster
Change in Self-Efficacy for Managing Mental Health Crises and Behavioral Emergencies
Zeitfenster: Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Self-efficacy was assessed using the mean score of eight items from the study-specific questionnaire (items 6-13). Each item was rated on a 5-point confidence scale. The overall mean score ranged from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater confidence in recognizing, assessing, communicating with, and responding to individuals experiencing mental health crises or behavioral emergencies. Change was calculated as the post-training mean score minus the pre-training mean score.

Zeitfenster
Change in Cognition Toward Behavioral Emergencies
Zeitfenster: Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Cognition toward behavioral emergencies was assessed using the mean score of six items from the study-specific questionnaire (items 15-20). Each item was rated on a 5-point agreement scale. Item 20 was reverse-coded because agreement with routine use of force represented less favorable cognition. The mean score ranged from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating more favorable understanding and attitudes regarding behavioral emergency response. Change was calculated as the post-training score minus the pre-training score.
Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Change in Stigma Toward People Experiencing Behavioral Emergencies
Zeitfenster: Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Stigma toward people experiencing behavioral emergencies was assessed using the mean score of six dichotomous items from the study-specific questionnaire (items 21-26). Positive recovery-oriented or interaction-related items were reverse-coded so that higher scores consistently represented greater stigma. The mean score ranged from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating greater stigma. Change was calculated as the post-training score minus the pre-training score; a negative change indicated reduced stigma.
Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Change in Stigma Toward People With Substance Use Problems
Zeitfenster: Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Stigma toward people with substance use problems was assessed using the mean score of six dichotomous items from the study-specific questionnaire (items 27-32). Positive recovery-oriented or interaction-related items were reverse-coded so that higher scores consistently represented greater stigma. The mean score ranged from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating greater stigma. Change was calculated as the post-training score minus the pre-training score; a negative change indicated reduced stigma.
Immediately before the training session and immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Post-Training Satisfaction With the Mental Health Crisis Response Training
Zeitfenster: Immediately after completion of the 4-hour training session
Training satisfaction was assessed using five items from the post-training questionnaire (items 33-37). Items evaluated the perceived usefulness of the course for participants' work, satisfaction with the instructor and course content, usefulness of practical exercises, course flow, and overall course satisfaction. Each item was rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The mean satisfaction score ranged from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the training course.
