Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study was to identify person related factors for the utilization of inpatient and outpatient treatment in a crisis intervention unit.

Methods: Data from the central psychiatric patient record (PSYREC) of the canton of Zurich have been analyzed.

Results: Different factors are associated with the treatment modalities. The decisive factor for the choice of an outpatient treatment is employment.

Conclusions: The facilitation of employment should be of major interest for treatment in social psychiatry, e. g. by supported employment methods.
