The effect of admitting a random selection of 42 committed psychiatric patients to an ordinary, open general hospital psychiatric ward was studied. A control group of 44 regular psychiatric patients was formed for comparison purposes. Differences were studied by rating scales of behaviour and psychopathology and by nursing and medical observations. Though differences in ages and psychopathology were marked, the differences in behavioural problems were slight. The results are consistent with the belief that a well-trained staff can now manage practically all psychiatric admissions in a general hospital.
对随机挑选的42名确诊精神病患者入住一家普通开放式综合医院精神科病房的效果进行了研究。为作比较,组建了一个由44名常规精神病患者组成的对照组。通过行为和精神病理学评定量表以及护理和医疗观察来研究差异。尽管年龄和精神病理学方面的差异很明显,但行为问题方面的差异很小。这些结果与以下观点一致,即训练有素的工作人员现在实际上可以管理综合医院的所有精神病患者入院治疗。
