dc.description.abstractBakgrunn: Medisinfri behandling for psykose i Norge er et resultat av et felles initiativ fra flere brukerorganisasjoner basert på den debatterte bruken av antipsykotiske medisiner, og ønsket om mer personsentrert behandling og større selvbestemmelse. Medisinfri behandling har som mål å øke pasientens autonomi, redusere medikamentell behandling og øke psykososiale støttemuligheter. Medikamentfri behandling var ikke utformet for å fremme ett behandlingsvalg fremfor et annet. I praksis står pasienter som velger dette behandlingsprogrammet fritt til å bruke eller ikke bruke medisiner etter deres behov, men må ha et klart mål om å redusere eller slutte med antipsykotisk medisinering. Mål: Denne studiens mål var å gi omfattende innsikt i brukerens og helsepersonells erfaringer med det medisinfrie behandlingsprogrammet i Bergen, Norge. Metoder: Dette er en kvalitativ studie som brukte dybdeintervjuer med personer med psykose, fokusgruppesamtaler med ansatte tilknyttet medisinfri behandling, og deltakende observasjon i musikkterapi. Fire erfaringseksperter ble invitert som medforskere. Funn: Pasientene beskrev sitt forhold til terapeutene som viktig og forbedret. Behandlingen ble en læringsprosess av deres personlige lidelsesmønstre. Motivasjon for å ta kontroll over egen tilfriskningsprosess var viktig. Terapeutene var opptatt av å forvalte ressurser; sin egen rolle i terapien; og ulike pasientvalg. Musikkterapi ble beskrevet som en fleksibel og recoveryorientert behandling. Konklusjoner: Medisinfri behandling la til rette for læringserfaringer angående behandlingsvalg med fokus på økt egenstyring og motivasjon. Behandlingen fremstår støttende for ulike pasientvalg, og ser ut til å forbedre forholdet mellom pasient og helsepersonell. Demokratisering av behandlingsvalg utfordrer nivået av faglig skjønn når helsepersonell og pasient har motstridende mål. Dette kan føre til at terapeuter føler seg maktesløse i og fremmedgjort fra arbeidet sitt. Musikkterapi tilbyr valg fortløpende, i samarbeid med terapeut, men også avhengig av omstendigheter. Det er et potensial for forbedret implementering.en_US
dc.description.abstractBackground: Medication-free (MF) treatment for psychosis in Norway is the result of a joint initiative from several user organisations based on the debated use of anti-psychotic medication, and the wish for more person-centred care and greater self-determination. MF treatment aims to increase patient autonomy, reduce pharmacological treatment, and increase psychosocial support options. The medication-free treatment services were not designed to promote one treatment choice over another. In practical terms, patients choosing this treatment program are free to use or not use medications following their needs, but aims to reduce or discontinue their anti-psychotic medication. Objective: This study aimed to provide comprehensive insight into the user and provider experiences with the medication free treatment program in Bergen, Norway. Methods: This was a qualitative study using in-depth interviews with people with psychosis, focus group discussions with staff from the mental health care institutions, and participant observation in music therapy. Four experts by experience were invited as co-researchers. Findings: Patients described their relationship with therapists as improved and significant. Treatment was a learning process of their personal patterns of suffering, and motivation for self-agency in the recovery process was important. The therapists were preoccupied with managing resources; their role in the therapy; and patient choices. Music therapy was described as a flexible, recovery-oriented treatment. Conclusions: Medication-free treatment facilitated learning experiences regarding the choice of treatment, focusing on increased self-agency and motivation. It is supportive towards patient choices, and appears to improve the relationship between the patient and the caregiver. Democratization of treatment choices challenges the level of professional discretion when caregiver and patient have conflicting goals, possibly causing therapists to feel disempowered in and alienated from their work. Music therapy offers choices continuously, in collaboration with the therapist, but also contingent depending on circumstances. There is a potential for improved implementation.en_US
