Personality Patterns

Little data have been published on the educational and diagnostic differences of private hospital psychiatric patients on the MMPI. The present study reports the distributions of MMPI T scores and standard deviations for 4 female and 5 male educational groups and for 3 diagnostic groups of both sexes within a randomly selected group of 363 female and 542 male patients in a private psychiatric hospital. Results suggest that MMPI personality patterns should not be considered independently of the individual testee but that private psychiatric hospital patients do not produce MMPI profiles significantly different from those in state or provincial institutions.

Previous studies contain little data on the relationship of occupational differences of psychiatric patients to their MMPI personality patterns. The present study reports the distributions of MMPI T scores and standard deviations in three occupational categories within a randomly selected group of 110 male patients in a private psychiatric hospital. Results suggest that MMPI personality patterns should not be considered independently of the occupation of the individual testee.

The present study has been made with the purpose of studying the frequency of chromosome aberrations in a male psychiatric hospital population, especially in order to look for possible associations between minor chromosome aberrations such as variations in short arms or satellites in D or G chromosomes as well as in Y length on the one hand and mental illness and criminality on the other.

In 1961 I decided to start a hostel for discharged male psychiatric patients. There was available a private house in the City of Gloucester near to the Day Hospital. This had been purchased in 1953 and was being used as an overspill annexe for long-stay male patients.

Available Information

This report was stimulated by the fact that two middle-aged depressive male patients killed themselves in the same ward under identical circumstances within a fortnight. It was thought that it would possibly be instructive to examine the hospital records since its opening in 1866 to look at the available information about patients who had committed suicide whilst under inpatient care here. The total number of suicides to date has been 24 and in the years 1901, 1911, 1955, 1957 and 1965 there have been two suicides in each year. There was sufficient information available to suggest that there were certain similarities between those occurring in the years 1901, 1957 and 1965, so these cases are considered in greater detail in the following reports.

Introduction: Individual and group level interventions have the largest effect on outcomes in patients with the first episode of psychosis. The quality of these individual and group level interventions provided to first-episode psychosis patients in Uganda is unclear.Methods: The study was performed at Butabika National Psychiatric Teaching and referral hospital in Uganda. A retrospective chart review of recently discharged adult in-patients with the first episode of psychosis was first performed to determine the proportion of participants who received the different essential components for individual and group level interventions. From the different proportions, the quality of the services across the individual and group interventions was determined using the first-Episode Psychosis Services Fidelity Scale (FEPS-FS). The FEPS-FS assigns a grade of 1-5 on a Likert scale depending on the proportion of patients received the different components of the intervention. Results: The final sample included 156 first-episode psychosis patients. The median age was 27 years [IOR (24-36)] with 55% of participants of the female gender. 13 essential components across the individual and group interventions were assessed and their quality quantified. All 13 essential components had poor quality with the range of scores on the FEPS-FS of 1-3. Only one essential component assessed (use of single antipsychotics) had moderate quality.Discussion: Among current services at the National psychiatric hospital of Uganda, the essential for individual and group level interventions for psychotic disorders are of low quality. Further studies are required on how the quality of these interventions can be improved.

Male Patients

All male patients above 180 cm. tall who were resident in the Århus State Hospital on 13 April, 1966, were registered: they numbered 42 out of the total of 440 resident males (8 · 1 per cent.). One patient, a 78-year-old man, died before chromosome analysis was made. Sex-chromatin analysis was made on Feulgenstained buccal smears and chromosome analysis was made on leucocyte cultures according to the method described by Moorhead et al. (1960), slightly modified. Not less than 25 metaphases were counted, at least 15 metaphases with the modal figure and all metaphases with a chromosome number deviating from the modal figures were analysed.

Family Functionality

Depression is a disorder of representation and regulation of mood and emotion; it affects 5% of world population, in a year. Unlike normal loss and sadness feelings, major depression is persistant and it interferes significantly with thoughts, behaviour, emotions, activity and health of the individual. If untreated, depression can lead to suicide. Using family therapy in treating psychiatric patients is a must due to the significance that a family holds in individual and society life.Objective:Assesing family functionality in families with a member diagnosed according to DSM IV TR with depressive disorder; depression intensity was assesed with HDRS.Methods:A sample of 3o families (71 members); FFS assesses the most important and consistent five functioning areas: positive affect, comunication, conflicts, worries and rituals.Results:Values obtained in each of the 40 questions of the scale can give information on variables affecting the increase or decrease in subscales values. Positive affect 35,07, communication 37, conflicts 15,11, worries 40,77, rituals 45,03. The reuslts were compared to those obtained by assessin normal families from a control group of 132 families (323 members).Conclusions:Differences were noticed. Values obtained in our study represent the standard of functioning of families with a depressed member.

This study aims to get understanding on how the anxiety coping strategies of psychiatric nurses in handling patients who still feel anxious in the Intensive Service Unit (UPI). The method used in this study is a qualitative research by taking data based on the condition of natural objects. The study is conducted on psychiatric nurses in the Intensive Service Unit at Prof. Dr. Soerojo psychiatric Hospital in Magelang. The respondents of this study are taken from stratified purposive sampling that the writers take 2 female psychiatric nurses from female UPI and 3 male psychiatric nurses from Male UPI. Data are collected by observation and interview. The results show that the coping strategies that emerged from each subject differr one another, not all aspects of the coping strategy were used by the respondents. This means that by varying the coping strategies emerging from each respondent can be used as a reference as a study learned by individuals with the same conditions experienced by the respondents.

The authors surveyed 137 male admissions to the St. Cloud (Minnesota) Veterans Administration Medical Center to estimate the incidence of physical abuse toward wives/partners. Among those 101 who had lived with a woman, physical abuse was reported in 54 cases. However, the violence was judged “serious” by half or more of a panel of judges in only 23 of those cases. Moreover, serious violence within the previous year was reported by only 6 of these men. Since violence rated as serious by half or more of the judges and occurring within the past year was reported in only 4% of the sample, it appears that the need for special treatment programs for batterers is probably limited to a small minority of male psychiatric hospital patients.
