COVID-19-Pandemie und Versorgung schwer psychisch erkrankter Menschen – Inwieweit wurden die Interessen psychisch erkrankter Menschen in den Schutzverordnungen des Bundes und der Länder berücksichtigt?

Zusammenfassung

Ziel der Studie Verordnungen während des ersten COVID-19-„Lockdowns“ in Deutschland wurden analysiert bezüglich ihrer Auswirkungen auf psychisch erkrankte Menschen.

Methodik In die Auswertung wurden im Zeitraum 1. März 2020 bis 30. Juni 2020 gültige Verordnungen mit Gesundheitsaspekten einbezogen.

Ergebnisse In insgesamt 344 identifizierbaren Verordnungen wurden psychiatrische Versorgungsstrukturen insgesamt deutlich eingeschränkt, wobei Menschen mit psychischen Krankheiten selten dezidiert erwähnt wurden. Ausmaß und zeitliche Dauer der Einschränkungen unterschieden sich zwischen den Bundesländern.

Schlussfolgerung Die Belange von Menschen mit psychischen Krankheiten sollten zukünftig stärker Berücksichtigung finden.

Abstract

Objective Official regulations during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Germany were analyzed concerning their impact on patients with psychiatric disorders.

Methods All regulations valid between March 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 with a link to health were included in the analysis.

Results A total of 344 regulations was identified. Psychiatric health care structures were severely limited with significant heterogeneity concerning extent and duration between the different Federal states. In four Federal states, psychiatric hospitals were exempted from providing capacities towards intensive care. Three Federal states loosened visiting limitations for psychiatric patients.

Conclusion During the first lockdown, a broad range of regulations concerning the health care system was adopted often without specifically addressing psychiatric disorders. In the future, the needs of psychiatric patients have to be considered more thoroughly.
