The English "ward-in-a-house" for new long-stay patients (NLS) is described. NLS are usually defined as (a) aged between 18 and 65, (b) continuously in hospital for between 1 and 5 years, and (c) individuals for whom it has not been possible to find alternative accommodation outside hospital, despite repeated attempts to do so. The "ward-in-a-house" combines the best features of high quality hospital care with the best features of community-based residential units. The "Koike-dormitory" which was set up more than 20 years ago in Maebashi city had many of the characteristics of the English "ward-in-a-house" and this is also described. The possibility of developing a "ward-in-a-house" in Japan is then discussed.
本文描述了为新的长期住院患者设立的英式“院内病房”。长期住院患者通常定义为：（a）年龄在18至65岁之间；（b）连续住院1至5年；（c）尽管多次尝试，但仍无法在医院外找到其他住处的患者。“院内病房”将高质量医院护理的最佳特点与社区居住单元的最佳特点结合在一起。20多年前在前桥市设立的“小池宿舍”具有英式“院内病房”的许多特征，本文也对此进行了描述。随后讨论了在日本发展“院内病房”的可能性。
