Personality disorder sufferers with severe self-harm and experience long psychiatric hospitalizations have complex mental health conditions and are at risk of suicide. When the symptoms of emotional instability are combined with self-harm, the resulting crisis often becomes difficult for patients and caregivers to manage.

Finally, three themes described areas for improvement: "feeling guilty for requesting short hospitalization," "room occupancy problems," and "differences in staff competence."
