摘要

Background

Psychosocial crisis interventions are of central importance in the hospital setting, particularly in critical incidents, but have rarely been systematically described and evaluated.

Objective

The aim of this study was to descriptively analyze usage patterns, such as the reasons for deployment, of a clinical crisis intervention service at a German university hospital over a 10-year period.

Materials and methods

A retrospective, descriptive analysis of routine data from all documented deployments of the clinical crisis intervention service between 2015 and 2024 was conducted. The analysis included deployment frequency, locations, reasons for deployment, and documented deployment duration.

Results

A total of 850 deployments were documented during the study period, with a trend toward increasing usage over the years. The cumulative total time spent was 1978 h. Most deployments occurred in intensive care units and the emergency department. The most frequent reasons for deployment were unexpected deaths, critical illnesses, and event-related needs for support.

Conclusion

The results show a consistent and steadily increasing use of psychosocial crisis intervention services within the hospital setting. Crisis intervention services require substantial personnel resources. Their use is concentrated in highly stressed areas of care. The study provides an empirical basis for the further development and strategic integration of psychosocial crisis intervention services in hospitals, as well as for future outcome-oriented research.
