Chronic Psychiatric Patients

A study carried out in a psychiatric hospital in the Montreal region reveals that in spite of deinstitutionalization, long-term stay remains an important factor in the use of beds. For some patients the hospital remains a permanent home, either from their first admission or from the time they are institutionalized after multiple admissions. For both in- and out-patients, return to the hospital and long-term care are almost inevitable. Generally speaking, the services of the hospital are used by the same long-term patients, and this to the extent that the hospital cannot provide services to other establishments or play its second-line role. This is frustrating for other institutions in the network, even though they accept the inevitability of the situation given the lack of adequate community resources for these patients. One of the primary functions of a psychiatric hospital also seems to be to fill in the gaps in the service network. In this regard, its expertise in the field of intervention in chronic psychiatric patients must not be overlooked. Given the current situation, the hospital's responsibility in regard to second-line services cannot be clarified until it has been determined just how much of the responsibility for care of psychiatric patients can be assumed by the community itself.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Nosocomial infection among male patients in a public psychiatric hospital was studied and the definitions for use in long-term care facilities were employed for diagnosis. The overall nosocomial infection rate was 6.7 per 1,000 day inpatients; 55.6% of these infections were identified in the respiratory tract, 50% of them being respiratory viral diseases; 38.9% of the nosocomial infections involved the eyes, ears, nose, throat and mouth, and 5.6% involved the skin and soft tissues. The epidemiological characteristics and the main clinical alterations of these inpatients were also identified.

In order to best meet the needs of older residents in long-term care settings, clinicians often develop programs designed to streamline and improve care. However, many individuals are reluctant to embrace change. This article will discuss strategies that the speech-language pathologist (SLP) can use to assess and address the source of resistance to new programs and thereby facilitate optimal outcomes.

Change Policy

The organizational structure of long-term care (LTC) facilities often removes the rehab department from the interdisciplinary work culture, inhibiting the speech-language pathologist's (SLP's) communication with the facility administration and limiting the SLP's influence when implementing clinical programs. The SLP then is unable to change policy or monitor the actions of the care staff. When the SLP asks staff members to follow protocols not yet accepted by facility policy, staff may be unable to respond due to confusing or conflicting protocol. The SLP needs to involve members of the facility administration in the policy-making process in order to create successful clinical programs. The SLP must overcome communication barriers by understanding the needs of the administration to explain how staff compliance with clinical goals improves quality of care, regulatory compliance, and patient-family satisfaction, and has the potential to enhance revenue for the facility. By taking this approach, the SLP has a greater opportunity to increase safety, independence, and quality of life for patients who otherwise may not receive access to the appropriate services.
