Post Release Adjustment of Day and Inpatients

Dusan Kecmanovic, M.D., Ph.D.

Sarajevo University School of Medicine (Yugoslavia)

A comparison was made of the post-release adjustment of patients who were treated in the day hospital and those by the inpatient service. The patients diagnosed as schizophrenics, psychopaths and neurotics, living with their families, who were able to work prior to hospitalization were chosen for samples. In addition, the patients of the two samples were matched with regard to age, the number of hospitalizations and the length of the last one. The day hospital sample consisted of 85 patients and the inpatient sample of 92.

Four aspects of social adjustment during the 18 months after discharge were particularly stressed: rehospitalization, working ability, interpersonal relations and role functioning in the family.

No significant difference between day and full-time patients with regard to these aspects of post-release adjustment were revealed.
