What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a new recovery-oriented model of care in psychiatric inpatient wards to see its impact on various outcomes including the use of coercive measures, length of hospital stay, patient clinical improvement, satisfaction, perception of coercion, ward atmosphere, and personal recovery. The study is observational and focuses on adult patients aged 18 to 65 admitted to three psychiatric wards, excluding those with dementia. This model aims to improve individualized care, involve relatives more closely, and enhance patient participation in treatment planning. The new care model includes major structural changes such as reorganizing clinical discussions and decision-making, implementing referral teams that provide continuous care, involving patients actively in treatment decisions, increasing transparency, and improving communication with relatives and community care. Initially, the model will be introduced in a pilot ward for nine months, after which it will be extended to two other wards. The other wards will serve as comparison groups during the pilot phase. Participants will be assessed at discharge over the 18-month study period. Data collected includes use of coercive measures, length of stay, symptom burden, and involuntary status duration from electronic records. Patients will complete digital questionnaires assessing satisfaction, perceived coercion, personal recovery, ward atmosphere, and recovery-oriented care. Assessments take about 30 to 45 minutes and utilize tablets. The study is sponsored by the University Hospital, Geneva, and follows patients through the implementation and extension phases.
