Study 2

Crisis Resolution/Home Treatment teams (CR/HT) are one model among a range of services for individuals with severe mental health problems and distress. The aim of this study is to gain indepth knowledge about how service-user in crisis, particularly those individuals in psychotic crisis, describes their own life-world experiences of the crisis and of their experience of the support from the CR/HT team. It is also of interest how the user describes the experiences with a CR/HT in contrast to being admitted in an acute unit in a mental hospital following a crisis.

This study focuses on the following research questions:
- How do individuals experience and understand mental health crisis?
- How do they usually deal with mental health related crisis in everyday life?
- How can are the services CR/HT and inpatient treatment be of help as the individual

- The informants social situation and living conditions (E.g. sociodemographic and economic variables), Do these have any impact on the experience of and coping with mental health related crisis?
- As a community service, can CR/HT services support and strengthen the patients and the families’ general quality of life in any ways?
