This study reports a comparison of a single ward versus a two-ward system of acute in-patient care in a general hospital psychiatric unit. It focuses on staff and patient perceptions and attitudes towards the two types of ward. A continuous care ward system was preferred by the majority of staff who described an improvement in 'ward atmosphere'. Patients who had experienced both ward systems also preferred the continuous care system. Both patients and staff felt that the continuous care system still needed to place greater emphasis on 'ward atmosphere' dimensions of involvement, support and spontaneity. The implications of these findings for improving the functioning of the preferred ward are discussed.
本研究报告了一家综合医院精神科病房中，单病房与双病房急性住院护理系统的比较情况。研究重点关注工作人员和患者对这两种病房类型的看法及态度。大多数工作人员更喜欢连续护理病房系统，他们表示“病房氛围”有所改善。体验过两种病房系统的患者也更喜欢连续护理系统。患者和工作人员都认为，连续护理系统仍需更加强调“病房氛围”中涉及参与、支持和自发性等方面。文中讨论了这些研究结果对改善首选病房运作的启示。
