In spite of the problems we have encountered in combining adolescent medical and psychiatric patients, we have found this to be a workable model. In summary, several areas are important in making this model functional: staff interest in both medical and psychiatric patients, in-service programs particularly in psychiatry, and open communication between health care givers. Certainly one of the most positive aspects of this unit is that it provides an environment which allows for easier adjustment to the community after hospitalization. Avoidance of such terms as "mental hospital," "crazy person" is less traumatic to the adolescent patient and his family.
尽管我们在合并青少年内科和精神科患者时遇到了问题，但我们发现这是一个可行的模式。总之，要使这个模式发挥作用，有几个方面很重要：工作人员对内科和精神科患者都感兴趣、特别是精神病学方面的在职培训项目，以及医护人员之间的开放沟通。当然，这个科室最积极的方面之一是它提供了一个环境，使患者在住院后更容易适应社区。避免使用“精神病院”“疯子”等词汇，对青少年患者及其家人的创伤较小。
