Multicenter Study
Joint Crisis Plans and Crisis Cards in Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment—a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
Joint Crisis Plans (JCP) and crisis cards (CC) are both instruments designed to improve the management of future psychiatric crisis situations, but they differ, for example, in terms of resource use, legal validity, and aims. International research findings for JCP are inconsistent. ⋯ Although the study showed no superiority of JCP over CC with regard to the primary and secondary outcomes, JCP should be used more frequently in routine practice as an intervention to support a participative approach to treatment.
