ABSTRACT: The knowledge about factors contributing to remission among individuals with schizophrenia is still missing. Studies show that the number of individuals’ reaching remission is varying among psychiatric outpatient care centres. Therefore, the purpose was to investigate case managers (CM) perception of care interventions promoting remission. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CM (n = 12) and data were analysed with qualitative content analysis. The results show that CM needs to possess competence, master assessment structure and process. These key-points appear to be of crucial importance for a successful promotion of remission among individuals with schizophrenia.
