Does Inpatient Equivalent Home Treatment lead to higher satisfaction? Results on satisfaction of persons involved in treatment within the Multi-center AKtiV Study
Psychiatr Prax. 2023 Nov 21. doi: 10.1055/a-2179-6983. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis part of the AKtiV Study focuses on treatment satisfaction of patients and their relatives within Inpatient Equivalent Home Treatment (IEHT) and regular treatment. Stress of relatives and job satisfaction and workload of employees in IEHT is also considered. Relevant Parameters were collected via established as well as newly adapted questionnaires at the end of treatment. Patients and relatives in IEHT are significantly more satisfied. The stress experienced by relatives is reduced in both forms of treatment. Employees in IEHT are generally very satisfied, although there is no correlation with the satisfaction of relatives and patients. Known limitations of satisfaction surveys must be taken into account. In general these results encourage the expansion and continuous development of this new form of treatment in Germany.PMID:37989203 | DOI:10.1055/a-2179-6983
