Capacity to give informed consent in patients with severe mental disorder in different treatment settings
Patients with severe psychiatric disorders, especially in forensic settings, encounter unique challenges in understanding and providing informed consent. These challenges stem from both individual cognitive or clinical impairments and the institutional context, such as coercive environments and complex legal-ethical frameworks. Our findings highlight the need for setting-sensitive communication strategies, legal safeguards, and increased awarenes…
Persisting unhealthy eating behaviors and the role of dieting in outpatients treated for severe mental illness
Background: Individuals living with severe mental illness (SMI) are at higher risk of being overweight and obese. In addition to medication side effects, poor dietary habits are considered as modifiable factors. However, individuals with SMI face a variety of barriers to healthy eating, and it is still unclear which dietary strategies are best. Aims: The current study aimed to examine the course of dietary habits in dieting and non-dieting patien…
Knowledge and attitude towards home treatment among referring healthcare professionals and self-referring patients to a psychiatric hospital
BACKGROUND: Home treatment (HT) is a patient-centred and cost-effective alternative to acute psychiatric inpatient care. However, the progress of its implementation and utilisation in routine care is slow. AIMS: The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge and attitude towards HT among healthcare professionals. METHOD: This observational study included telephone-based semi-structured interviews of 140 referring healthcare professionals incl…
Relationship Between Time of Admission, Help-Seeking Behavior, and Psychiatric Outcomes
The main finding of our study is the relationship between "daytime hours" and fewer compulsory admissions, a result of the interplay between demographics, clinical characteristics, and out-of-clinic service availability (such as ambulatory psychiatric- psychological praxis; day-clinic; home-treatment). The differing clinical profile, in turn, determines differences in treatment selection, with patients admitted after office hours experiencing a h…
Assessment of Nutritional Status and Risk of Malnutrition Using Adapted Standard Tools in Patients with Mental Illness and in Need of Intensive Psychiatric Treatment
People with severe mental illness (SMI) are often in poor physical health, resulting in higher mortality and reduced life expectancy compared to the general population. Although eating habits are one of the main predictors of physical health, few studies assess the nutritional status and eating behavior of people with SMI. The aim of this study was to examine the nutritional status and risk of malnutrition in people with SMI who were in need of i…

Each year, more than 800,000 persons die by suicide, making it a leading cause of death worldwide. Recent innovations in information and communication technology may offer new opportunities in suicide prevention in individuals, hereby potentially reducing this number. In our project, we design digital indices based on both self-reports and passive mobile sensing and test their ability to predict suicidal ideation, a major predictor for suicide, a…
Psychopathological Symptom Load and Distinguishable Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity Patterns in Patients With Schizophrenia and Healthy Controls
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder, with executive dysfunction and impaired processing speed playing a pivotal role in the course of the disease. In patients with schizophrenia, neurocognitive deficits appear to be related to alterations in cerebral hemodynamics. It is not fully understood if psychopathological symptom load (i.e., presence and severity of symptoms) is also related to alterations in cerebral hemodynamics.…
Feasibility and Efficacy of a Psychological Therapy for Patients With a Schizophrenic Psychosis in an Inpatient Setting
Background: Schizophrenic psychoses are severe mental disorders. Despite advances in treatment, outcomes are still unsatisfying. The pharmacological treatments still show limitations regarding psychosocial functioning and neurocognitive impairment. In recent years new psychological therapies appeared, showing promising results. However, these interventions are mainly designed and studied for outpatients; their efficacy and feasibility for patient…

Psychiatric In-Patients Are More Likely to Meet Recommended Levels of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity If They Engage in Exercise and Sport Therapy Programs
Background: People with mental disorders engage in sedentary behaviors more often than their healthy counterparts. In Switzerland, nearly all psychiatric hospitals offer structured exercise and sport therapy as part of their standard therapeutic treatment. However, little is known about the degree to which psychiatric patients make use of these treatment offers. The aim of this study is to examine, in a sample of psychiatric in-patients (a) how m…
Internet-based Self-Assessment after the Tsunami
ONSET was used by a large number of subjects who thought to be affected by the catastrophe in order to help them decide if they needed to see a mental health professional. Furthermore, men more frequently accessed the instrument than women, indicating that Internet-based testing facilitates reaching out to a different group of people than "ordinary" public mental health strategies
Antecedents and Covariates of Alcohol Consumption among Swiss Male Conscripts
This study aimed to investigate prevalence and correlates of alcohol consumption frequency in a sample of Swiss conscripts (n=25,611) in order to identify factors that predispose for frequent consumption. A self-report of drinking frequencies, as well as socio-demographic and psychosocial variables, was collected at psychiatric baseline screening. Based on univariate analyses, relevant variables were included in a multivariate multinomial logisti…

Exposure to the tsunami disaster, PTSD symptoms and increased substance use – an Internet based survey of male and female residents of Switzerland
The tsunami was associated with increased substance use. This study not only replicates earlier findings but also suggests for a gender specificity of post-traumatic substance use increase
The effects of economic deprivation on psychological well-being among the working population of Switzerland
The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the potential psychological impact of material deprivation on working Swiss citizens. Such knowledge may aid in the design of community intervention programs to help reduce the individual and societal burdens of poverty in Switzerland
