Hello Hejdi

Are these of any help?

Thanks a lot Mary, I will have a look at the articles later:)

Hi,

there are many journals in stress, psychosocial and illness such as the following

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2568977/

of course you need Literature to support your variables selections

Thanks a lot - it is a bit difficult to navigate in that area since I'm spreading over three different areas (bio-psyk and social)

Hello Hejdi,

I don't if it helps, but I did a research about the user experience in admission situations in inpatient psychiatry. Unfortunately the paper was published in German.

What about alcohol or drug overdose?

Low mood with suicidal attempt/ideation, sudden loss of a job, spouse, break down of an intimate relationship leads to depression, Poly substance abuse, severe eating disorder, Post traumatic stress syndrome, Self-harm.

I would look at top admissions for ETC as well as to acute care and then cross reference those with a literature search related to psychosocial factors. You could also search for co-occurring disorders. In both children and chronically ill increasingly dependent adults, you might consider the family response. One of the big focus areas right now is depression as it relates to CHF. Since there are dollars attached in the United States, there is interest in this area. Depression clearly would be an area you could include. Mood, energy, self esteem, fear, anxiety, sleep, social interaction would be a few to consider searching.

Hello Hejdi, 

Have you considered geriatric specific variables such as elder abuse, carer fatigue resulting in poor health outcomes for the individual being cared for, social isolation/ homelessness resulting in acute health care issues. These are not suitable for telephone triage I realise. You could search predictors for acute geriatric emergency presentations to emergency. Something to consider.  

Hi all,

Thanks for your reply - they are of good help. Fortunately we have good registers in Denmark so all socio-economic variables can be found in already present material.;)
