Development of mental health first aid guidelines for panic attacks: a Delphi study
BMC Psychiatry, 08/19/09
Kelly CM et al. – There are a number of actions which are considered to be useful for members of the public to do if they encounter someone who is having a panic attack. These guidelines will be useful in revision of curricula of mental health first aid programs. They can also be used by members of the public who want immediate information about how to assist someone who is experiencing panic attacks.
Methods- The Delphi method was used to reach consensus in a panel of experts.
- Experts included 50 professionals and 6 people who had experience of panic attacks and were active in mental health advocacy.
- Statements about how to assist someone who is having a panic attack were sourced through a systematic search of both professional and lay literature.
- These statements were rated for importance as first aid guidelines by the expert and consumer panels and guidelines were written using the items most consistently endorsed.
- Of 144 statements presented to the panels, 27 were accepted.
