To report the rate of violent victimization of psychiatric patients 1 year before interview and to examine the relative rate in comparison to the general population.
Cases were recruited from two public psychiatric hospitals in Stockholm County (n = 390). The controls comprised gender- and age-matched people interviewed in an annual national survey of living conditions (n = 1,170).
Twenty percent of the patients had been victimized during the preceding year. The relative rate was six times higher than that of the controls. Women appeared to be most vulnerable with a tenfold risk increase.
The findings stress that psychiatric patients are vulnerable to other people's violent behaviour.
报告精神疾病患者在接受访谈前一年的暴力受害率,并与普通人群进行相对比率比较。
病例从斯德哥尔摩县的两家公立精神病院招募(n = 390)。对照组由在年度全国生活条件调查中接受访谈的性别和年龄匹配的人群组成(n = 1,170)。
20%的患者在前一年受到过伤害。相对比率是对照组的六倍。女性似乎最为脆弱,风险增加了十倍。
这些发现强调了精神疾病患者容易受到他人暴力行为的影响。
