  "abstract": "Introduction\n\nWomen's health care is committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care within a multiprofessional team. While guideline-based psycho-oncological structures are well established and existent in oncology, comparable standardised psychosocial support services have so far been lacking in obstetrics and non-oncological gynaecology, even though complex situations involving distress and crisis regularly arise in these fields. Against this background, we investigated how a structured, psychosocial care service could be designed for these areas and integrated into routine care.Patients and methods\n\nIn a retrospective data analysis, key process steps in the implementation of psychosocial support by the Psychosocial Service of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at University Hospital Erlangen were evaluated. The analysis was based on routine patient data and staffing data from the period 2008-2019. Based on relevant S2k guidelines, normative quality-assurance requirements and current specialist literature, the indications, range of services, and psychosocial care processes were systematically consolidated. Through an interprofessional coordination process, these elements were developed into a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for a university perinatal centre.Results\n\nThe Psychosocial Service is structurally embedded in routine clinical practice. The care service provided under the Erlangen Model is based on a biopsychosocial, theoretically grounded, and quality-assured concept with defined staffing resources. The SOP specifies responsibilities, screening and determination of indications as well as a tiered range of services extending from initial contact and crisis intervention to ongoing support. The continuous increase in utilisation during the study period highlights the relevance and successful establishment of the model.Conclusion\n\nA standardised psychosocial care service based on medical indication and delivered primarily by specially qualified midwives and nursing professionals, improves the quality of psychosocial care for patients in obstetrics and non-oncological gynaecology, thereby reducing the burden on the multiprofessional team. Implementing an SOP for the Psychosocial Service promotes the early identification of psychosocial distress, facilitates access to specialised support, and strengthens high-quality patient- and family-centred care.",
