Aims and MethodTo describe the attitudes of the professionals of a multi-disciplinary crisis intervention service (CIS) towards the service they provide. To establish whether there are differences in attitudes between the different professional disciplines involved. A questionnaire was mailed to all the professionals working in the Barnet CIS (n=94). Differences were analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test.ResultsThe overall response rate was 84%. Statistically significant differences were found between the different disciplines in 10 of the 37 questions (27%) on the questionnaire. Opinions differed most on issues of safety and acceptance of clinical responsibility.Clinical ImplicationsDespite general ag reement on most issues, we found differences of opinion in important areas such as arrangements for team safety and clinical responsibility. These differences may create tensions within the multi-disciplinary groups and may influence the attitudes of professionals to crisis work. Measures need to be taken to address these issues in order to improve morale and staff satisfaction.
