BACKGROUND
Little is known about the longer term occupational outcome in UK military personnel who require hospital-based treatment for mental health problems.
AIMS
To examine the documented occupational outcomes following hospital-based treatment for mental health problems within the British Army.
METHODS
Hospital admission records were linked to occupational outcome data from a database used for personnel administration.
RESULTS
A total of 384 records were identified that were then linked to occupational outcome after an episode of hospitalization. Seventy-four per cent of those admitted to hospital with mental health problems were discharged from the Army prematurely, and 73% of the discharges occurred in the first year following hospitalization. Discharge from the Army was associated with holding a junior rank, completing <5 years military service, having a combat role, being male and receiving community mental health team treatment prior to admission.
CONCLUSIONS
Hospitalization for a mental health problem in a military context is associated with a low rate of retention in service. Outcome was not influenced greatly by duration of hospital stay; however, those who reported receiving individual rather than group-based therapy while in hospital appeared to do better.
背景
对于在英国军队中因心理健康问题需要住院治疗的军人，其长期职业结果知之甚少。
目的
研究英国陆军中因心理健康问题住院治疗后的职业结果。
方法
将住院记录与人员管理数据库中的职业结果数据进行关联。
结果
共确定了 384 份记录，然后在住院后的职业结果中进行了关联。在因心理健康问题住院的军人中，有 74%的人提前退伍，73%的退伍发生在住院后的第一年。退伍与担任初级军衔、服役时间<5 年、担任战斗角色、男性和入院前接受社区心理健康团队治疗有关。
结论
在军事环境中，因心理健康问题住院与服务保留率低有关。结果并未受到住院时间长短的很大影响；然而，那些在住院期间接受个人而非团体治疗的人似乎表现更好。
