Factors influencing decision-making capacity assessments in involuntary care and treatment in Norway: A qualitative exploration of multi-stakeholder perspectives
BACKGROUND: Decision-making capacity (DMC) is a widely used criterion in health laws to balance respect for patient autonomy with protection from the potential consequences of treatment decisions. In 2017, lacking DMC was introduced as an additional criterion for involuntary care and treatment following comprehensive amendments to the Norwegian Mental Health Care Act. Despite the amendments aiming to reduce involuntary care and treatment rates, n…
Don’t know” scores should be considered when assessing violence risk for youth in acute institutions
Commonly, relevant information to score violence risk assessment instruments is missing at the time of assessment. While there are indications that lack of information to score items, or "Don't know" scores, has clinical relevance, these items are commonly omitted or treated as "No" scores in research. The Violence Risk Assessment Checklist for Youth (V-RISK-Y) is a screening instrument designed to identify violence risk in youth aged 12-18. The …
Expert opinions on improving coercion data collection across Europe: A concept mapping study
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…
Between No Help and Coercion: Toward Referral to Involuntary Psychiatric Admission. A Qualitative Interview Study of Stakeholders' Perspectives
Objective: Paths toward referral to involuntary psychiatric admission mainly unfold in the contexts where people live their everyday lives. Modern health services are organized such that primary health care services are often those who provide long-term follow-up for people with severe mental illness and who serve as gatekeepers to involuntary admissions at the secondary care level. However, most efforts to reduce involuntary admissions have been…
Service Characteristics and Geographical Variation in Compulsory Hospitalisation: An Exploratory Random Effects Within–Between Analysis of Norwegian Municipalities, 2015–2018
Background: Compulsory hospitalisation in mental healthcare is contested. For ethical and legal reasons, it should only be used as a last resort. Geographical variation could indicate that some areas employ compulsory hospitalisation more frequently than is strictly necessary. Explaining variation in compulsory hospitalisation might contribute to reducing overuse, but research on associations with service characteristics remains patchy. Objective…
Measuring Staff Attitudes to Coercion in Poland
Introduction: Coercion can be defined as the use of force to limit a person's choices. In Poland, coercive measures may tend to be overused. However, there is limited information regarding the attitudes of nurses toward coercion in psychiatric settings and the factors influencing any decisions to use coercion. Aims: To validate the Staff Attitudes to Coercion Scale (SACS) for a group of psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists, to compare the said wi…
Outpatient commitment in mental health services from a municipal view
