In this cross-sectional study, individuals aged 18-60 years with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 were referred to the University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Esbjerg, and screened for diabetes, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome,…
I Hope She’ll Feel Happier To Be alive”
Hope among family members is multifaceted, encompassing personal, relational, and structural dimensions. The findings underscore the importance of programs that actively support carers in sustaining hope as part of the broader recovery context
Navigating the Labyrinth
The study highlights the need for a more integrated, holistic approach to care, including improved collaboration between specialized and general healthcare professionals, better care coordination, and policy improvements. Further research is needed to identify effective strategies for overcoming these barriers and to create more integrated care pathways for patients with complex conditions
Community-Based Group Psychoeducation for Informal Caregivers of Individuals with Mental Illness
Purpose : This single-arm, pre–post pilot study assessed the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of community-based group psychoeducation for informal caregivers (18+) of individuals with a range of mental illnesses in Denmark. The intervention was delivered by social work and healthcare professionals and aimed to improve well-being and prevent burnout. Keeping within the medical research council's framework for evaluating complex intervent…
Identity work and illness careers of patients with medically unexplained symptoms

Patients with medically unexplained symptoms often experience being met with mistrust and feel their identity threatened as a consequence of being illegitimately ill. There is a strong tendency in hea…
Use of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines in connection to minimising coercion and mechanical restraint in a general psychiatric ward
BACKGROUND: Decrease in coercive measures can lead to increased exposure to antipsychotics and benzodiazepines. This is not desirable as these drugs are associated with harmful side effects and reduced life expectancy. AIM: To quantify and compare the use of antipsychotic and anxiolytic medications in connection with the implementation of a programme to reduce coercion and restraint. METHODS: Observational study in a general psychiatric ward comp…
‘I have potential’
BACKGROUND: The individual placement and support (IPS) intervention supports persons with severe mental illness in achieving competitive employment. Although the IPS intervention is labelled a recovery-oriented intervention, little is known about how participants experience IPS to influence recovery. The aim was to investigate how IPS and employment influence recovery in persons with severe mental illness. MATERIAL: A qualitative phenomenological…
Youth, suicide attempts and low level of education
BACKGROUND: In Denmark, it is a political goal that 95% of all young people should complete an upper secondary education. For some young people, this goal can be difficult to achieve. An association has been established between suicidal behaviour and school performance. AIM: We hypothesise that young people who have attempted suicide have a lower chance of finishing secondary education. METHODS: We used Danish historical population registers to p…

Healthcare delivery packages belong to a highly structured mode of healthcare delivery, in which specific courses of healthcare interventions related to assessment and treatment are predefined, both as to timing and content. Assessment packages are widely used in an increasing number of medical specialities; however, there is a lack of knowledge about how packaged a…
