Although earlier studies concluded that clinicians’ prototypes of patients with mental disorders can influence diagnostic decisions, it remains unclear how presumably more or less prototypical features were identified in these studies in the first place. As research on the content of therapists’ prototypes of mental disorders is very limited, the aim of the current study was to identify therapists’ prototypes of major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. Psychotherapists (N=69) filled out an online survey and answered questions on the most common thoughts, feelings, behaviors, appearance, life circumstances, age, and gender of a person with each disorder. Additionally, they rated the DSM-5 criteria according to how much they think about each criterion when thinking about a typical person with the respective disorder. The most frequently mentioned features of a typical person with each disorder are reported and positive and negative associations between features are visualized by means of network analyses . Besides some exceptions, therapists’ responses were mostly in line with the DSM-5 criteria and with frequencies of symptoms in patients with each disorder. Therapists’ prototypes might be helpful to make diagnostic decisions in typical situations but could lead to incorrectly diagnosing or overlooking a disorder in less typical situations. The results of the current study should be used to increase therapists’ awareness of prototypes and to emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis, e.g. with structured interviews. Further research should investigate the influence of the prototypical features identified in the current study on therapists’ diagnostic decisions. https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5197 PsychArchives info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.23668/PSYCHARCHIVES.12653 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess Kröber S, Bonnin G, Schneider S, et al. <i>Dataset for: Therapists’ Prototypes of Common Mental Disorders – an Empirical Identification</i>.

Internationally, Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) have been successful in improving care for this population, but they have not yet been established in Germany. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the need for APNs among PLD in Germany and explore potential priorities for their work. Specifically, the study aimed to identify the individuals and typically complex circumstances that require the services of APNs, to create starting points for the development of Advanced Nursing Practice in this area. Methods: A scoping review was conducted, followed by a qualitative exploratory study using 14 expert interviews with nursing scientists and clinicians. The analysis was based on qualitative content analysis. Results: There are numerous problems in the care of PLD. Factors such as multiple disabilities, comorbidities, high care needs, and individual living and care conditions can result in complex care situations. However, complexity often only arises when a person interacts with the healthcare system. Based on the results it is suggested that an APN should be involved in the care of PLD in cases of newly developed symptoms, acute illnesses, deteriorating health, increasing care requirements, or transition to another care setting. Conclusion: There are several indications of a need for APNs for PLD, but further research is required to determine the exact factors that indicate this need. This study represents a first approximation. Significance (Impact and Reach): This is the first study, conducted as part of a master’s thesis, to explore the need for APNs in the care of PLD in Germany, provide reasons for their implementation, and propose priorities for the shaping of this new nursing role. https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5183 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess Gröndahl A, Bruland D, Grebe C, Latteck Ä-D.
