Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the nationwide housing situation for individuals with severe mental illness, including those with substance dependencies.
  • Understanding the characteristics of residents and the structure of psychiatric housing facilities is crucial for improving care.
  • The "ZIPHER" study aims to record and reduce coercive measures within the psychiatric help system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the nationwide housing situation for severely mentally ill individuals.
  • To collect structural and process data on residential facilities for this population.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide quantitative survey was conducted using an online questionnaire.
  • Data was collected on structural and process aspects of residential facilities.
  • The survey was part of the "ZIPHER" study, focusing on psychiatric care.

Main Results:

  • A 20% response rate was achieved, documenting 11,881 open and 1,268 closed home places.
  • Residents are predominantly male, aged 50 and older, and often diagnosed with schizophrenia.
  • Staff composition (day/night) differs significantly between open and closed living environments.

Conclusions:

  • These nationwide findings reveal a significant lack of data concerning inpatient housing facilities.
  • There is a clear need for regionally based social reporting to better understand and address housing needs.
  • Improved data collection is essential for enhancing support systems for severely mentally ill individuals.
