Design and methods: A qualitative inductive interview study with 11 participants: four patients, six nurses, and one significant other. The interviews were analyzed with content analysis.
Findings: The analysis resulted in four subcategories: To be met with respect, presence and time, knowledge and experience, and feeling of support, and one category: A psychiatric team with knowledge and experience creating stability and a sense of self-worth.
Practice implication: The Prehospital Emergency Psychiatric Unit enables a safe, person-centered service.
