To discover if psychiatric patients who received follow-up care in the home by public health nurses could assume a functional role in the family. and in the community to a greater extent than similar patients who did not receive home care, a sample of all chronic undifferentiated and paranoid schizophrenics who had been released from a Georgia mental hospital within a one-year period and who were receiving follow-up care in the home by the public health nurse was selected from County A and matched according to diagnosis, time released from the hospital, age, sex, race, income, education, and marital status as closely as possible with a sample of patients from County B who were not receiving such follow-up care. Eight pairs of patients were interviewed and rated according to the Psychiatric Status Schedule; six pairs of patients were rated on a questionnaire by a significant member of the family as to the amount of burden they imposed on the family. The rate of patients readmitted to the hospital was also calculated for each sample group and compared. No statistically significant differences were found in the readmission rate, functioning level in the family and the community, or burden on the family
为了探究接受公共卫生护士居家随访护理的精神科患者是否比未接受居家护理的类似患者能在更大程度上在家庭和社区中承担起功能性角色，从A县选取了所有在一年内从佐治亚州一家精神病院出院且正在接受公共卫生护士居家随访护理的慢性未分化型和偏执型精神分裂症患者样本，并根据诊断、出院时间、年龄、性别、种族、收入、教育程度和婚姻状况，尽可能紧密地与B县未接受此类随访护理的患者样本进行匹配。根据《精神状态量表》对八对患者进行了访谈和评分；由家庭中的一位重要成员根据问卷对六对患者给家庭带来的负担量进行评分。还计算了每个样本组患者再次入院的比率并进行比较。在再次入院率、在家庭和社区中的功能水平或对家庭的负担方面未发现统计学上的显著差异
