Research Opportunity A research study is currently being undertaken by University of Technology Sydney Honours student Kara Chakerian, exploring mental health nurses’ knowledge of delirium in inpatient mental health settings. Mental health nurses are invited to participate in a brief, anonymous online survey focused on recognising the signs, symptoms, and risk factors for delirium. Recent research has shown that consumers in inpatient mental health units are at a heightened risk of experiencing delirium. As nurses play a critical role in the early identification and management of this condition, understanding current knowledge and practice is essential. The findings from this study will contribute to the development of targeted education resources for nurses and may also inform future policy, with the ultimate aim of reducing the impact of delirium on consumers. The study is supervised by A/Prof. Natalie Cutler, A/Prof. Scott Brunero, Dr. Amy Montgomery, and A/Prof. Kris Rogers, and has received ethics approval from the UTS Human Research Ethics Committee (UTS HREC: ETH25-11467). Participation is voluntary and involves completing a short anonymous online survey, accessible via www.tinyurl.com/mhdelirium
