Psychisch krank in Krisenzeiten: Subjektive Belastungen durch COVID-19

Zusammenfassung

Ziel der Studie Wir untersuchen die alltagsrelevanten und klinischen Auswirkungen der aktuellen Corona-Krise auf Menschen mit vorbestehenden psychischen Erkrankungen.

Methode Neben der klinischen Untersuchung wurde den Patienten, die sich derzeit in unserer stationären oder ambulanten Behandlung befinden, ein standardisierter Fragebogen zur subjektiven Belastung und psychiatrischen Versorgung ausgehändigt.

Ergebnisse Mehr als die Hälfte der Befragten sah eine Verschlechterung der psychischen Erkrankung durch den Ausnahmezustand. Schwerer Erkrankte waren stärker belastet.

Schlussfolgerung Patienten mit psychischen Erkrankungen stellen in der gegenwärtigen Krise eine besonders vulnerable Gruppe dar. Es bedarf einer Anpassung der psychiatrischen und psychotherapeutischen Versorgung; spezifische Belastungen müssen bei Patienten mit allen Diagnosegruppen aktiv erfragt werden.

Abstract

Objective This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lock-down on patients with mental illness.

Methods Patients in inpatient or outpatient psychiatric treatment received a questionnaire, examining psychological distress and psychiatric care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results More than half of the patients indicated that the state of emergency had a negative impact on their mental illness. Severely ill patients were more affected.

Conclusion Patients with mental illness are a particularly vulnerable group in the current crisis. Psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care needs to be adapted accordingly; the specific burden and distress needs to be examined actively in patients from all diagnostic groups.
