Mental Health and Psychiatric Care innovation field
We conduct research into person-centred, preference-based psychiatric care. We pay particular attention to the inclusion of people with experiences of a mental health crisis.
Psychiatric care in Switzerland is comprehensively organised, but it is also fraught with problems. These range from an inappropriate number of inpatient beds, misguided financing models and a lack of skilled workers to far too many coercive measures, often non-evidence-based services and inadequate inclusion of people who have experienced a mental health crisis themselves. With our research projects, we investigate the conditions under which better care can be achieved to address these issues.
Research topics
- Projects in psychiatric care and psychosocial support
- Psychiatric rehabilitation (basic living skills, work, leisure)
- Human rights in psychiatric healthcare
- Development of new research methods for psychosocial settings
Tenure-track position at the Lindenhof Foundation: Psychiatric care in an outpatient setting
The majority of people with mental illness want to be treated or supported in a community-based and outpatient setting. However, the development towards preference-based and scientifically evidence-orientated outpatient care is only progressing slowly. For this reason, the Lindenhof Foundation is funding the tenure-track position "Psychiatric care in the outpatient setting". The aim is to strengthen outpatient psychiatric care and interprofessional networking in order to address the gaps in care in this important area in a well-founded manner.
Our research creates a scientific basis for improving community-based, outpatient or integrated psychiatric care and provision. We analyse the roles and activities of psychiatric nurses, the characteristics and care needs of people with mental illness and their relatives, as well as the effects of innovative outpatient care models.
