Clinical improvement is demonstrated in a group of 41 day patients of mixed diagnosis by changes in measures of depression, self-esteem, loquacity and sociability over a period of six weeks. Staff predictions of success, made after 2 weeks, correlated positively (Spearman's rho = 0.53) with an overall assessment of success after 6 weeks, which itself was positively correlated with improvements in scores on depression (rho = 0.58) and sociability (rho = 0.66 and 0.60). The patients for whom staff predicted least success were in 6 cases out of 7 men aged 20-51.
在一组41名诊断结果各异的日间患者中，通过在六周时间内对抑郁、自尊、健谈程度和社交能力的测量变化，证明了临床改善情况。工作人员在两周后做出的成功预测与六周后的总体成功评估呈正相关（斯皮尔曼等级相关系数rho = 0.53），而六周后的总体成功评估本身又与抑郁得分的改善（rho = 0.58）和社交能力得分的改善（rho = 0.66和0.60）呈正相关。工作人员预测成功可能性最小的患者，在7名年龄在20至51岁的男性中有6例。
