Chronic Psychiatric Patients

Three chronic psychiatric patients in a halfway house were enrolled in a program of regular supervised jogging. In comparison with three other chronic patients from the same setting who received the same amount of attention but no jogging, the jogging group showed significantly less posttest trait anxiety. No significant posttest differences in body image were found between groups. The role of multi-process relaxation is discussed.

Three hundred and thirty-eight chronic psychiatric patients were followed up for two years after their discharge. Information was available on all but four patients. During the twenty-four month follow-up period, 11% had died and 25% required readmission. The source of support and living arrangements for the whole group were discussed, and the opinions about the outcome by the informant, psychiatrist, and social worker, were compared, The opinions correlated remarkably well. Characteristics of community care deemed important by the investigators were discussed briefly.

Scores on eight scales of the Missouri Inpatient Behavior Scale changed significantly during the last 6 mo. prior to discharge of chronic public psychiatric patients. Improvement in chronic patients appears to occur primarily in day-to-day competence, communication, and affect.

In a survey of all (2795) chronic psychiatric patients resident in Victorian Mental Health Division hospitals, charge nurses were asked to assess patients' levels of physical and psychological dependence on nursing care, aggressive and difficult behaviour and their preferred future placement. The vast majority were ‘old’ chronic patients and nurses considered the present placement as the most appropriate for two-thirds of the surveyed population. We adopted our own criteria of placement needs, such as level of physical and psychological dependence, behavioural problems and treatment received. Of the 2795 patients, one-quarter (682) would require continuing hospital care. The remainder could be transferred, depending on their characteristics, to intensive or general nursing care homes, hostels or special accommodation houses, provided that such facilities are available and the participation of patients in various therapeutic activities was ensured.

Chronic Psychiatric Patients

St. Wulstan's Hospital, Malvern, opened in November, 1961. It is the first hospital in Great Britain to be given the specific function of rehabilitating selected chronic psychiatric patients from other hospitals. The original plans for its use were made by the Mental Health Services Advisory Panel of the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board. In 1959 this panel was confronted with overcrowding in the Board's twelve existing mental hospitals; it was offered the use of a tuberculosis sanatorium that would shortly be closing for lack of patients, and it was impressed by the results reported from other hospitals of giving chronic patients industrial work to do. Accordingly the panel formulated plans to reopen the former sanatorium as a psychiatric rehabilitation hospital. The execution and development of these plans are described in this paper.

BackgroundSome authors have argued that hostels for homeless people are increasingly taking over the role of psychiatric long-stay wards, and that this creates a problem. We set out to test this hypothesis.MethodThe social disablement of a random sample of 101 homeless men, described in Part 1, was compared with that of a sample of 66 psychiatric patients from a long-stay ward.ResultsThe study sample rated significantly lower for social disablement than the long-stay ward sample. Thirteen subjects of the hostel sample had psychotic social behaviour problems. These had no history of being long-stay psychiatric patients.ConclusionsThe hostel sample differ significantly in their social disablement from the chronic psychiatric patients. There is a small proportion of severely disturbed residents who might have been over-represented in previous non-random surveys.

SynopsisThe Social Behaviour Schedule (SBS) was examined as a measure of disability in a series of 66 chronic psychiatric patients, who were also assessed using the Social Role Performance Schedule (SRP) and the ninth edition of the Present State Examination (PSE). All three schedules have been used in previous studies in their present form. SBS and SRP measures were correlated with each other and neither showed any relationship with subjectively described current PSE symptoms. SBS deficit was associated with a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia and with problems in supervised occupational activity. Long-term hospital residents showed greater SBS deficit than chronic patients in active rehabilitation programmes, although impaired SRP was the major correlate with the type of supervision provided. SRP measures can be compared with population norms, unlike measures derived from the SBS, which cover more severe ranges of disability.

Chronic Psychiatric Patients

The results of this preliminary study suggest that chronic psychiatric patients upon returning to the community do not pose a burden to physicians. This would appear to apply for at least a two-year period. In the present sample of 211 patients those relatively few exceptions tended to be individuals who developed illnesses requiring either surgical intervention or hospitalization for a major medical condition. One question that arises from the low utilization observed in the present study involves the adequacy of follow-up medical care received by these patients. This area poses problems for future investigation involving clinical work in the field.
