Hospital Patients

While a study of schizophrenia and social class (Goldberg and Morrison, 1963) was in progress, it became obvious that some problems of hospital and community care among young male mental hospital patients should be pursued. Accordingly, it was decided to extend the project to a systematic follow up of the patients admitted to one of the two hospitals included in the study. This paper reports the findings in two parts; Part I relates length of stay in hospital to the severity of a patient's illness and to his circumstances before and after leaving hospital; Part II relates the patient's post-hospital work performance to certain other factors.

Industrial Task

A comparative study of the work performance of normal and schizophrenic workers was undertaken in the Rehabilitation Unit of Cheadle Royal Hospital. (Wadsworth, Scott and Wells, 1961). A group of 12 long-stay schizophrenics with a mean duration of hospitalization of 17 years, ±12·3 were matched with 12 normal subjects recruited to perform a normal industrial task. The task studied was the assembly, by gluing, of crepe to board; one of the initial stages in the manufacture of a carnival hat. The purpose of the study was to obtain comparative data that would help one to produce indices of employability, rather than to make evaluative statements which would relate only to mental hospital standards.

Overall Functioning

BackgroundIt is in dispute whether affective relapse disrupts psychosocial functioning to the same extent in depressed and manic patients.MethodA prospective, naturalistic, longitudinal follow-up of 84 unipolar and bipolar affectively disordered in-patients was conducted to examine the extent of recurrent affective syndromes and their relationship to overall outcome. Global adjustment relative to relapse was assessed at 2- and 4.5-year follow-ups.ResultsNearly half of the bipolar patients had subsequent syndromes, which were often associated with uniformly poor psychosocial functioning. Fewer than one-quarter of those with recurrences had steady work performance. Bipolar patients taking lithium alone had fewer recurrences than those taking lithium as well as neuroleptics (P<0.05). Bipolar and unipolar patients relapsed with equal frequency, but unipolar relapse was less often associated with readmission to hospital, work impairment, or uniformly poor functioning.ConclusionAffective relapse in bipolar disorders was more detrimental to overall functioning than was recurrence in unipolar depression.

Perhaps most clinicians experienced in mental hospital work suspect, at least, that left-handedness and stuttering occur relatively frequently among hospitalized epileptics. However prevalent this impression may be, it remains to be tested systematically. There has been little study of dextrality among the different diagnostic groups. Defects of speech among some groups have been studied considerably, among other groups very little.

Engagement Scale

Work performance, undoubtedly, is the key of organizational success. Therefore, it is very important to find out the antecedents which will significantly lead to work performance. Unlike other organizations, mental hospital is a unique institution delivering a different kind of service, both to the patients as well as the family of the patients. Adding to the fact, nurses play a very important role in determining the performance of the hospital. Current study aimed to investigate the contributions of work engagement, psychological capital, and perceived organizational support towards work performance. This was a quantitative non-experimental research employing four questionnaire distributed to 140 nurses from all positions, ranging from junior to senior,  and conducted in a mental hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. The questionnaires distributed to participants were 47-item Individual’s Work Performance, 3-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, 24-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and 8-item Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. The results of the study found that work engagement played a significant role towards work performance (F=42.402, p<0,05). Moreover, psychological capital and perceived organization support contributed a significant impact towards work engagement (F=3.678, p<0.05). Tidak diragukan lagi bahwa kinerja adalah kunci keberhasilan organisasi. Oleh karena itu, mengetahui anteseden yang secara signifikan akan mengarah pada kinerja sangat penting. Tidak seperti organisasi lain, rumah sakit jiwa adalah institusi unik yang memberikan layanan yang berbeda, baik untuk pasien maupun keluarga pasien. Ditambah juga perawat memainkan peran yang sangat penting dalam menentukan kinerja rumah sakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki kontribusi keterlibatan kerja, modal psikologis, dan dukungan organisasi yang dirasakan terhadap kinerja kerja. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif non-eksperimental yang menggunakan empat kuesioner yang didistribusikan kepada 140 perawat dari berbagai posisi, mulai dari junior hingga senior, dan dilakukan di sebuah rumah sakit jiwa di Jakarta, Indonesia. Kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada peserta adalah Individual’s Work Performance yang terdiri dari 47 item, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale yang terdiri dari 3 item, Psychological Capital Questionnaire yang terdiri dari 24 item, dan Survey of Perceived Organizational  Support yang terdiri dari 8 item. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa keterlibatan kerja berperan penting terhadap kinerja kerja (F = 42,402, p <0,05). Selain itu, modal psikologis dan dukungan organisasi yang dirasakan berkontribusi secara signifikan pada keterlibatan kerja (F = 3,678, p <0,05).

New Variables

The difference between evaluatively loaded and evaluatively neutralized five-factor inventory items was used to create new variables, one for each factor in the five-factor model. Study 1 showed that these variables can be represented in terms of a general evaluative factor which is related to social desirability measures and indicated that the factor may equally well be represented as separate from the Big Five as superordinate to them. Study 2 revealed an evaluative factor in self-ratings and peer ratings of the Big Five, but the evaluative factor in self-reports did not correlate with such a factor in ratings by peers. In Study 3 the evaluative factor contributed above the Big Five in predicting work performance, indicating a substance component. The results are discussed in relation to measurement issues and self-serving biases.
