Better safe than sorry – a qualitative study of multidisciplinary use of the V-RISK-10 in assessing patients with psychosis

Staff attitudes have been described as a potential barrier for the use of SPJ tools, yet little empirical knowledge exists on the beliefs behind staff attitudes. Our study sheds light on what staff found helpful and not helpful when using the V-RISK-10. These findings can aid implementation of SPJ tools, especially screening instruments, because they highlight possible pathways toward increased use for health care professionals.
