Survey results from 772 randomly selected employees at three state mental hospitals in Missouri are used to estimate the potential consequences of job loss that would occur if one of these hospitals closed. Especially for older, female, less skilled, and less educated groups of employees, the magnitude of potential economic, residential relocation, and stress related consequences is likely to be high if suitable reemployment cannot be found. However, the literature on manufacturing plant and mental hospital closings identifies these same groups as having the most unfavorable reemployment chances. Thus, those at risk to experience the most severe consequences also have the lowest chances of escaping them. A discussion of the implications of these findings for the actions of hospital leaders concludes this report.
对密苏里州三家州立精神病院随机抽取的772名员工进行的调查结果，被用于估计如果其中一家医院关闭可能发生的失业潜在后果。特别是对于年龄较大、女性、技能较低和受教育程度较低的员工群体，如果找不到合适的再就业机会，潜在的经济、居住地搬迁和压力相关后果的严重程度可能会很高。然而，关于制造工厂和精神病院关闭的文献表明，这些相同的群体再就业机会最不利。因此，那些面临最严重后果风险的人逃脱这些后果的机会也最低。本报告最后讨论了这些发现对医院领导行动的影响。
