Perceived coercion in the EUNOMIA study groups – a cross-national analysis of its intensity
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods More than 4,500 legally voluntarily admitted patients in 13 psychiatric services in twelve European countries were screened for perceived coercion at admission according to the MacArthur Perceived Coercion Scale (MPCS). Patients in this way identified as legally voluntarily admitted patients who felt coerced to admission, and consecutively legally involuntarily admitted patients, in all more than 3,400 patients, were interviewed and assessed at the end of the first week, at four weeks and at three months after admission. Perceived coercion was assessed by the MPCS and the Coercion Ladder (CL). Assessments on the CL were done by both patients and staff.
