Objective:
The aim of the study was to narrow down the topic area and to generate a heuristic understanding of "Reizabschirmung" (removal from stimuli) in the German-speaking countries based on clinical expertise.
Methods:
The Delphi-Method of consensus building within an expert panel was selected.
Results:
The consensus found on some aspects lead to a reduction of the scope of the topic and a first approximation towards a conceptual definition of "Reizabschirmung" was generated.
Conclusions:
The perception of "Reizabschirmung" in the German-speaking countries is presented. However, further research is needed for precise concept clarification and elaboration.
