Detailed description
The patient that is meeting during time travel at Psychiatric Emergency come with their families wich live (or have been lived) the crisis at home, in the street, with their family doctor. With a psychic incoming sufferance, when the patient refuses his medicines, doctors ask to someone close to the patient to become his Third party, his first guarantor of the without consent care commitment. These without consent hospitalizations at Toulouse University Hospital, and all over France hospitals, rise continuously. Our daily nursing exercise is to support those helping people. The sentiment felt by our nursing team during the exchange, underlines ambivalence and several emotional problems and difficulties, which are even harder for a first time occurence. Patient's close relatives that become a resource during non-consensual hospitalization could be affected indirectly by the burden of this referent role. Between culpability, isolation and exhaustion, the studies show that their ability to resist is a real help for patient progression. This statement is showed by nursing team (even belonging to others structures) listened during our exploratory investigation.In our professional practice, our specific emergency environment is firstly focused about patient in crisis situation and about his security. In this environment, there is no formerly dedicated time for relatives needing, once actors and public in this acute disease. Relatives hard experiences in a very central moment that we could consider as care beginnings, should impact therapy and patient health care plan. An early, well defined nursing act, built on close relatives needs and expectations could enhance this particular moment that should facilitate the following of the patient disease. A lot of data cited in literature specify the central role of relatives for a psychic patient, but there is no study about an early nursing intervention for Relatives during a psychiatric emergency.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Effect of early nursing intervention in the short term on the experience of the close relative | 6 month | Effect of early nursing intervention in the short term on the experience of the close relative compared to current support Measured by the evolution between D0 and D7 (first follow-up call telephone) with the AMDP-AT anxiety scale The AMDP system is a clinical measure of psychopathology. The Association de Methodology and Documentation in Psychiatry has developed this system of standardized quantification of psychopathology This is a synthetic version of 17 anxiety items (with a score included between 0 and 68), which is therefore a shorter scale than the full AMDP scale The AMDP-AT is particularly adapted to our emergency situation to assess the experience of the close relative, because it takes into account the multiple dimensions at the moment of the immediate anxiety situation |
