Establishing a peer advisory board in a mental health ethics research group – challenges, benefits, facilitators and lessons learned
While participatory methods are regarded as beneficial in many areas of psychiatric research, they are still rarely considered in the field of mental health ethics. Yet, there are several epistemic and ethical reasons why participatory research is particularly important in this field, such as the high relevance of experiential knowledge for ethical analyses. In this article, we report our experiences with establishing a peer advisory board for an…
Expert opinions on improving coercion data collection across Europe
The strategy rated as most relevant was the collection of reliable data in the nationwide health register, ensuring that countries share a standard understanding/definition of different coercive measures. Respondents did not consider the feasibility of establishing a shared European database for coercive measures to be high, nor did they envision the unification of mental health legislation in the future. There is some consensus on the most suita…
Death Anxiety in the Context of Religion, Personality and Life Meanings
Previous studies on the context between death anxiety and religion do not provide any clear evidence regarding "anxiety buffer" function. In this explorative study, death anxiety and attitude to death were determined in the context of mood, personality and meaning of life among groups of Muslims ( n = 60) and Christian Protestants ( n = 60). Death anxiety and attitude to death were assessed using the Bochum questionnaire for recording death anxie…
A German Version of the Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale. Development and Empirical Validation
Background: Individual staff factors, such as personality traits and attitudes, are increasingly seen as an important factor in the reduction of coercion in mental health services. At the same time, only a few validated instruments exist to measure those factors and examine their influence on the use of coercion. Aim: The present study aimed to develop and validate a German version of the Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale (SACS). Methods: The orig…
Socio-economic impact on involuntary admissions and coercive measures in psychiatric hospitals in Germany
Under which conditions are changes in the treatment of people under involuntary commitment justified during the Covid-19 pandemic? An ethical evaluation of current developments in Germany
Commentary 2
This case commentary investigates whether the risks and benefits of an interview study with persons under involuntary commitment on open-door policies in psychiatry were proportional and fairly distributed. Given that there is little data available on the views of service users on open-door policies, the study had significant social value. Because the individual benefits are limited in studies like this, we recommend that special measures be take…
Ward Atmosphere and Patient Satisfaction in Psychiatric Hospitals With Different Ward Settings and Door Policies. Results From a Mixed Methods Study
Background: Open-door policies in psychiatry are discussed as a means to improve the treatment of involuntarily committed patients in various aspects. Current research on open-door policies focuses mainly on objective effects, such as the number of coercive interventions or serious incidents. The aim of the present study was to investigate more subjective perceptions of different psychiatric inpatient settings with different door policies by anal…
The social‐psychiatric service and its role in compulsory hospitalization
Coercive measures are a sensitive, much-discussed ethical and legal issue in the psychiatric context. Hence, the identification of their predictors and ways of prevention are of utmost importance. The present study aimed to determine the impact of the social-psychiatric services (SPS) in North Rhine Westphalia (NRW) on involuntary admissions according to the German Mental Health Act and to identify predictors for the reduction of these involuntar…
