Abstract
A total of 54 patients treated in psychiatric observation and intensive in-patient care units completed the questionnaire Quality in Psychiatric Care – In-patient (QPC-IP). The patients rated the quality highest in the dimension Encounter and lowest in the dimension Discharge. Those patients who knew who their doctor was, or where to complain, having prescription of medication, being discharged to their own homes, having a planned contact after treatment or having a supportive talk, rated significantly higher quality of care. Demographic factors were shown to have had only a minor impact on quality of care. Using the QPC-IP gave valuable information about patient's perceptions of quality of care and identified areas important to improve.
