Sammendrag
Purpose and background: This study explores patients with severe and persistent mental health challenges in a municipality and their experiences of collaboration. The patient group has complex needs and is dependent on cross-disciplinary services. Method: Every patient with severe and persistent mental health challenges in the municipality were contacted. We conducted 106 semi-structured interviews, out of 208 invited, which were then qualitatively analyzed through systematic text condensation. Results and implications: The patients expressed a fundamental need for their long-term illness and the need for help to be understood. The users expressed satisfaction with the understanding from and collaboration with relatives. They desired to be respected in the relationship and for the professional services to take responsibility for the collaboration, which particularly applied to comprehensive measures that included somatic problems. Further development work needs to be carried out with the patients to optimize the collaboration. Keywords: collaboration, mental health care, severe and persistent mental illness Samhandling med pårørende og profesjonelle tjenester: erfaringer til pasienter med varige psykiske helseutfordringer
