      Background: The duration of untreated psychosis is determined by both patient and service related factors. Few studies have considered the geographical accessibility of services in relation to treatment delay in early psychosis. To address this, we investigated whether treatment delay is co-determined by straight-line distance to hospital based specialist services in a mainly rural mental health ...

We studied the effect of several variables, including service organization, coercion, and patient characteristics on the rate of acute admissions to psychiatric specialist services. In a natural experiment-like study in Norway, we compared a ...

    • Local inpatient units may increase patients' utilization of outpatient services: A comparative cohort-study in Nordland County, Norway

The complexity of these systems may represent a challenge to patients that suffer from serious psychiatric disorders. We examined whether local integration of inpatient and outpatient services in contrast to centralized institutions strengthened continuity of care. <p>Methods: Two ...

    • Negotiating the boundaries of psychosis: A qualitative study of the service provider perspective on treatment delay in community mental health

      Aim: <br>Evidence shows that many patients are detected and treated late in their course of illness, and that substantial delay occurs even after entry to mental health services. Although several studies have examined the service user and carer perspectives on treatment delay, few have explored the issue from the service provider perspective. The aim of this study was to broaden our understanding ...

      Sørlie, Tore; Sørgaard, Knut W.; Bogdanov, Anatoly; Bratlid, Trond; Rezvy, Grigory (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-04)
      Background: More knowledge about suicidality and suicide risk profiles in acute psychiatric hospital patients (both first-time and chronic patients) is needed. While numerous factors are associated with suicidality in such populations, these may differ across cultures. Better understanding of factors underlying suicide risk can be informed by cross-cultural studies, and can aid development of ...
