Involuntary psychiatric admissions under the Mental Health Act increased significantly nationwide. Little is known, however, about the influencing factors of this phenomenon.
The aim of this regional cross-sectional study in North Rhine-Westphalia was to compare voluntary and involuntary psychiatric admissions (under the PsychKG NRW) regarding personal, institutional, social-psychiatric and demographic characteristics. A retrospective analysis of hospital admission registers over a period of 6 years with over 200 000 cases was conducted.
Elderly patients with dementia were most frequently involuntarily admitted. The existence of a locked ward in hospitals did not per se increase involuntary admissions, whereas the scope and quality of local social-psychiatric services had a major impact.
Social-psychiatric services and home-treatment must be strengthened to achieve lower involuntary admission rates and to further improve the quality of mental health care all over Germany.
根据《精神卫生法》进行的非自愿精神科住院治疗在全国范围内显著增加。然而,对于这一现象的影响因素知之甚少。
在北莱茵-威斯特法伦州进行的这项区域性横断面研究的目的是,比较自愿和非自愿精神科住院治疗(根据北莱茵-威斯特法伦州精神卫生法)在个人、机构、社会心理和人口统计学特征方面的情况。对6年期间超过20万例病例的医院入院登记册进行了回顾性分析。
患有痴呆症的老年患者非自愿住院的情况最为常见。医院设有封闭病房本身并不会增加非自愿住院率,而当地社会心理服务的范围和质量则有重大影响。
必须加强社会心理服务和家庭治疗,以降低非自愿住院率,并在全德国进一步提高精神卫生保健质量。
