A Prospective Study

BackgroundLegislation and practice of involuntary hospital admission vary substantially among European countries, but differences in outcomes have not been studied.AimsTo explore patients' views following involuntary hospitalisation in different European countries.MethodIn a prospective study in 11 countries, 2326 consecutive involuntary patients admitted to psychiatric hospital departments were interviewed within 1 week of admission; 1809 were followed up 1 month and 1613 3 months later. Patients' views as to whether the admission was right were the outcome criterion.ResultsIn the different countries, between 39 and 71% felt the admission was right after 1 month, and between 46 and 86% after 3 months. Females, those living alone and those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia had more negative views. Adjusting for confounding factors, differences between countries were significant.ConclusionsInternational differences in legislation and practice may be relevant to outcomes and inform improvements in policies, particularly in countries with poorer outcomes.

Involuntary Hospitalisation

There is an increasing concern about potential negligence actions being issued against psychiatrists. This has resulted from a greater interest by the community in the issues of informed consent and involuntary hospitalisation. This paper gives an overview of the present law relating to negligence relevant to the treating psychiatrist. Traditional views in the areas of contract and tort, with some comments on the current changes in that law, are described.
